as a person who usually buys games off of adds, I have to note a few things you guys have to make sure you capitalize on as of beta 2.

1) "epicfleets", yes currently you can get a lot of ships in game at once, but with the whole point restriction it gets difficult to get really big groups going, so increasing that limit is a must (best would be a 1.5x or more, because even with 20 planets I max out at only 70 or so ships, with a LOT of terrain to cover, and that is with 6 (6 out of 20!!!) maxed volc planets)
2) "customize capital ships" yes I really like the way you can currently customize the ships, but theres always room for a little more (point allocation in armor/shield/damage/antimatter?) because if its going to be a cornerstone of your add, it needs to be at least somewhat extensive.

beyond that it looks amazing. 'grats to your design team.

as a side note: space anomalies, cant wait!

As far as epic fleets go, I've seen some mighty epic fleets floating around in game, as is I think the command cap is just about right, myself.

Nice cover. I bet we will see some modifications are we actually get closer to the release date. Feb '08 is still far away for me.

cheers

Yeah Feb 08 sucks especially when Im not going to be Pre-Ordering it. I have PC Gamer subscription and look forward to seeing additional adds and reviews. Also with Starcraft II (good stuff).

There is more to come with capital ship customization

Ooooh more!

that could be the smallest of changes.
so don't get all excited. you'll wet yourself...again.

...still...

ace in the hole blair, again.

... its more than reason enough to be excited.

no, i meant he is constantly wetting himself D:

I am ?

i have to ask, is that image manipulated?
I really hope to see something as colorful as i see in that image, with the yellow/black skybox, where the nebula that goes from yellow to red and fades out into the blackness of space

I am with multi on that image, its a LOVELY skybox / nebula...

kosc/multi whats my msn userid? im on a different comp and forgot it
