I actually encountered the same problem on my laptop. I have a Radeon 200m, 2 gigs of ram, Athlon XP 64 3800. It ran at ~4-5 FPS in OpenGL, but ran beautiful in Direct3D. Likewise, the cut scenes were corrupted, no matter how much I played with it. Trick is that you have to use a fix for...

A big second to that one. Take your time czacen. You have some eager fans, but that doesn't mean that we aren't patient =) Great things come to those who wait-- even if the person making it is making breakneak speed =) Great screens, I've been following up on this for months. I am excited...

I don't think it speeds it along though. It just acts as a redundancy. So if one gets blown off, the timer keeps going with the second or third.

Check the Lucas Arts webpage, they actually created an updated .exe that works perfectly with XP. It was a great find. Even the sound works perfect-- something I never got to work right in DOS. However, you will need the CD.

Interesting Ijuin, I had never really thought of it like that before. Thanks for the insight.

Last time I heard anything about the efforts to find the Higgs Field they were considering revising their approach. I think they checked the most likely range trying to find it and came up with nothing. I can't seem to find a link to support this, but I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere...

I think he plans on utilizing jump bouys to do that. The Vaygar could connect two jumpgates and move ships back and forth. Likewise most ships needed to have a hyperspace core build onboard to jump around. The jump bouys would make for an interesting dynamic. A neat idea would be utilizing...

I'm sorry, I forgot to recognize the plethora of quality, original writings I've been seeing from someone with an "Advanced English Degree." And in all fairness the remark was a comment on the re-education camps of Communist China, where even more so than Soviet Russia, those who disagreed...

Heaven forbid the long, established, and generally well thought of practice of free speech. He was entitled to his opinion, and the freedom of expressing his thoughts certinaly wasn't hampering your own. There have been worse things said on these boards without a word said than the offense Pedro...

All in all, it's pretty neat. Whoever mentioned it reads like bad fan-fiction is right, but I'm sure this is a rough draft (I hope so anyway.) My favorite was the pirates looking for "goodies" in the base. I was most interested in how they summed up the rest of the Nephilium War/Conflict--...

True, but it raises an interesting inconsistency. If anything it was one of the most intelligent comments that I've read on this forum for days, despite if anyone "cared" or not. My thanks to Dacis2 for that. And for the record, I've met some non-native English speakers who know the...

Ah where is your sense of humor? Megadeath loses your respect because they decide to have a little fun? Come on =) It was entertaining, not laugh out loud, but entertaining. It certinally wasn't a waste of my time.

Someone obviously put some time and heart into it-- it's not too fair to treat it like its garbage. All told I was quite impressed with the cinematic shots, even how it all queued up the music quite nicely. If anything it looks more like a rough draft of something somebody wanted to do. I...

Light like those are not really very visible from space. It's more of a dramatic representation to show heavy urban concentration and sprawl. Most the data from those lights come from the Thermal band of various multispectral satellites in orbit (probably Landsat 7, it's cheap and gets more...

Oh, the only other thing I've noticed thats missing are ice caps. A planet like that, with water, of which is green, most likely has polar ice caps.
