Maybe you could keep the community appraised of LOD development similarly to the way these guys are doing it; http://endless-space.amplitude-studios.com/Progress Once again, just a thought.

Well, did I certainly see some new things happening in the game today. While doing an assault on Earth, I launched some crab mines and noticed that they fly away at 1544 m/s, which is odd. Another thing, assets that were following me from outer space also followed me into the planetary theater (just a fighter, but still) which gauged my curiosity a bit. And none other, I called for a tow at earth and ended up in orbit over Tapestran LOL. Let's see how things progress....

Checking in and participating!

Yeah, I read about it too. The only problem is getting the funding for it. If they do miraculously get it paid for, I'll be glad I will be majoring in Mechanical Engineering

Quite a nice collection. Maybe 8 of those games I have not heard of. I always wanted to play the full version of cellblock squadrons though.

So you tried running it in compatibility mode?

http://www.strategyi.../downloads.html I suspect v1.09.03 of BCM is actually BCMG. So in that case, http://www.3000ad.com/download/ would actually work as well. Or you can wait for SC to give you an official response.

Well it's certainly better than the 10 yr void in between then and now.

Pretty cool. I've already been following some of these games, and there are quite a few projects on kickstarter. Seems like the space genre is kicking up again.

Thanks, submitted a ticket.

My UCCE disc is scratched to hell, and when I put it in to load, it likes to give my PC hell. I.e, freezing windows explorer for a couple of minutes and shaking the tower before the setup.exe permission box can pop up (and after i close that i can launch the game) I also want some measure of stability, and i don't think a scratched disk will provide that (as the number of corrupted games has increased every year since purchase) Can anyone help? I'm thinking a no-cd crack for UCCE v2, but i'm not sure if there are any around that are safe.

Present and accounted for sir.

It is quite sad. I haven't found 1 sim that nails down each of the following; 1st person Combat, Construction, Graphics, Replay Value, Empire Management, Trade & Economies, and mysteries/secret events. While UCCE fairs better than most, if not all of the sims i have played, it certainly does lack in 2-3 areas. But you certainly succeeded to do what many others failed to achieve. I think I have played 1/3rd of the games listed above. Yeah, no kidding they didn't put a dent. They are pretty shitty. The only other decent space sim i've run across in the last 2 years would be the X3 series. Even that has its drawbacks. Squadwars looks somewhat promising. I might even pledge something...

Although I'm 2 weeks late, I'd still like to wish you another Happy birthday, SC.

I've been good Remo, and I take it you've been good as well. All is good on these forums ;P

The forum died when Quazar disappeared.

Still here. No april's fool there.

Wow, that might have been the best interview i have read. I'm not even being modest, i think it was truly great. You know what, just forget what i said in the other topic a few minutes earlier. Delete that post and laugh at me. I don't know what i was thinking. I think your game is going to turn out great. Fuck the haters. Let them make a game for themselves before talking shit.

SC, a lot of people aren't going to know the facts, or bother looking for them in the first place. That's what you need to consider, or be prepared to consider. The general point I think he's trying to make is to keep your audience informed of the progress you're making, and take any steps you're able to to avoid appearing like planetside 2. Yeah, your stuff is original, but how is the average gamer going to know? Your popularity is not that great either, which makes you more prone to slander. If other potential players are reading that slander, and all they see is "this is a rip off of planetside 2", "Derek dumb can't make games", etc, it can give them a negative impression about your game. So i mean, you can make LOD look even more better than Planetside 2, include more distinctions, etc. Your stuff may be original, but what's wrong with becoming more original? I realize with the beta coming soon, there might not be much you can change or implement, or want to change. I get it, you don't give a shit what trolls or haters care. But sometimes ignoring things isn't the route to go. But at the very least, you would want to add more content on your website. Updated pictures, information, etc. Interviews alone won't satisfy everyone. /endofmumbojumbo

Yummm RP

Great interview. I enjoyed reading it all.

I think the interview went well. Man, you have your haters SC. That's sure a lot of trolls.

It's looking great SC, my mouth was drooling when i browsed through all the pictures. As for facebook, set your privacy settings to friends only. That's what i do, atleast. Why would you want people that aren't your friends looking through all of your stuff?

Reporting in.

Line of Defense 300AD are having a crack at the MMOFPS lark with Line Of Defense and promise a truly huge theatre of action, with vast maps and citys many kilometres across. Can they take on the other big scale FPS contenders? 300ad?
