Re: OT: V The TV Series

Man, this topic brings back memories. The two miniseries were definitely better than the TV series, or perhaps I should say, less bad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif I...

Re: OT: An Open Letter To George Lucas

Dear Fanboy,

Considering how much of my merchandise you've already bought, I couldn't care less if you never spend another penny on the Star Wars franchise.

In other words, so long and thanks...

Re: OT: I know how to solve global warming

Whoa! Nice rants from alarikf. I'm less ambitious, so I'll try to be more brief. (Edit: I failed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif )

First, I have no hard feelings...

Re: OT: I know how to solve global warming

As ToddT has hinted, if you want to decrease solar radiation reaching the earth, increased emission of aerosols is a lot easier and cheaper than building orbital sunscreens. Recall that the...

Re: Sword of the Stars? (New 4x game apparently)

Well, the "ooooo.... shiney" aspect may capture the impulse buyers, but it wears off pretty fast when, like DarkHorse and me, you're trying to figure out how combat works and the game just isn't...

Re: Sword of the Stars? (New 4x game apparently)

Actually I'm ambivalent about SoTS. The strategic side is a bit too abstracted for my taste, as I mentioned in the "Sins of a Solar Empire" thread. A good tactical game could make up for all the...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

The fact that Space Empires models speed, not acceleration, suggests that the method of propulsion is entirely non-Newtonian, e.g. a slower-than-light version of the "stutterwarp":

I saw that movie!

Kirk Douglas slowly stands up, about to admit he's Aaron.
