*rule of cool* I'm gonna steal that! :D I don't get all the antipathy for the idea, as such I do enjoy the thought of having some visual feedback of my actions in the 'verse. So let's talk on the scale of things, if we have the universe siulation, there are most likely industrialised factions, so we...

Welcome! I enjoyed reading your suggestions, especially the Rebellion part, felt exactly like Lucas' handywork! I like the different aproaches to widen your empire! with democracy, I can see it happening, because NPC's are going to be already being able to have ranks assigned, with which they have d...

i didn't really get the tie in with the "people still want to back this...etc." BUT I like this idea, it's cute and collective computing does sound rather nice. but from what I can remember Josh's simulation (history, while loading the game/ background simulation) Has already gotten pretty efficient...

I really like the probes idea :D A reconnaissance-drone carrier is now something I would like in my small fleet of companions! But what I would like to see is a visual representation, very big and shiny. I am not talking about too much blings or something, but once the sensors have picked up somethi...

It's from the team ZanMgt, consisting of only siblings as far as I can recall, awesome game, they are making called Blockade Runner.

But not to make advertisement, I just want to share the cool video! Kinda reminded me of LT

What I would really have liked to see is that certain tech research requiring certain materials, minerals and other things found within the game. ... My point is that it shouldn't really just be as simple as clicking a button and waiting for a certain time for discoveries to be made. It should requ...

Hmm about translation, what about the PCG names of npcs and planets and all that stuff, will it be possible to translate it to another alphabet, such as cyrillic <- Russian or hiragana & kanji <- Japanese (including katakana could get confusing) or hanzi <- Chinese or others... think it may be poss...

I really enjoy lookin g at the second biggest ship, has a very nice distinctive *celestial body*-destroyer, kind of feel

Kudos to the OP, well done

Thanks for the fast reply! My untrained and uneducated guess would have been for the engine to be a proportional computing the power x shield-size. Well fair enough that it would take too much time, still the idea appealed to me :) Let's hope a comment will come soon :P, 3 sizes, I could live with a...

Love the idea, next Kickstarter?

Not sure if asked already, quick search didn't bring it up. So I was thinking about how hangars could be handled in LT, thinking about X3 and similar, where you can fly your capital, then change into your fighter, which is being shot out of an accelerator. Well that is all good, has a very BSG feel ...

This is quickly turning into an awesome thread.

I am so happy I opened it

Well but when didn't pizza merged with coding talk, turn into something awesome?

:lol: Thanks for the concern! I assure you that I'm getting enough food :D And coffee. Probably too much of the latter... To be fair, he should change the drip regularly. I like to alternate between a smoky Java and an aromatic Costa Rica, with the occasional earthy Ethiopia for when I'm in the zon...

Hey Josh I just finished reading all of your dev blogs, great stuff so far! Truely amazing :) Now only one concern bugs me really out.. Are you eating enough? :O Jokes aside, you are a great guy and it is clearly to see how dedicated you are! But now I really would like to see you further more suppo...

I really would actually enjoy to have a rahter big list of circumstances that could happen, while in combat, to inconvenience the situation. I am saying it could be that weapons are jamming if, ie that your aluminium cases for the railgun got stuck in the reloading tube, or a safety got burned throu...
