Re: AIs and terrible planet builds

I often take my last factory down and slowly build a mine just with pop. After all, the factory probably isn't doing much for you but another mine or lab - yum! I'm not even 100% sure you should build a factory on smaller planets, especially those that are just going to be mining outposts - it may b...

Re: Buying the DLC?

Bought game from website in very early access. Price: 4 cheeseburgers. Bought again on GOG when it became available there. Price: 4 cheeseburgers. Bought DLC on GOG. Price: 1 cheeseburger. Given the many enjoyable hours I have spent playing SiS, I consider this a steal. Perhaps in other currencies (...

Re: Finally Left My Steam Review of SiS

Heh. I repurchased on GoG and will leave a review there shortly. I don't think the GoG reviews carry as much importance as steam, but I'll toot SiS horn wherever I can. :)

Re: Stars in Shadow Development Roadmap

Steam trading cards are a cancer, but I love everything else on those lists.

Hype! :)

Re: Report - Current Bugs and Issues

Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but Planetary Revolts are.. odd. I've noticed a couple times now that if a planet with X natives on it revolts, there are X units on the "Loyal" side and also X units on the "Rebel" side. Each side can take casualties, and those casua...

Re: Release Plan

Pandora:First Contact's AI does this and it works quite well. The AI is fine with wars and all (though it is more likely to declare war on you if you're already at war), but once you start taking cities from other players (AI or human) they *really* start to hate you, and it is not uncommon for a su...

Today I accidentally mass refit all of my Destroyers into Exporation vessels by accident. :)

Re: Increased difficulty?

I've only ever completed one game of SiS - usually ran into one bug or another, or couldn't play consistently enough to not have various bits of the game change underneath me, or whatever. On release I put an evening aside and played a full game. :) So, my one full experience on normal as Orthin (me...

Fantastic news! Would buy again, just to have it in my GoG library.

Re: Thanks for your time and efforts!

You're both quite welcome. Every little bit, right? I rarely opt to go anywhere near unreleased games, preferring to spend my very limited time with finished, polished products. With SiS I regret nothing. May your sales be many and bugs few. :) Edit: also.. I really hope Sven is getting some sleep. ...

Re: Please Report Missing and/or Placeholder Text

Game 2009. Found a new system with supergrain special (neat!), and some human colonists. Clicked on Dunaman III to bring up planet overview, then clicked on the single Farm. Text in bottom window came up as "TODO: add some info here".

Re: Master of Orion is dead and being buried

The game in its current state is decent. If they were aiming for a moo-lite - but not brain dead - then they got it pretty much right. It isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you want a reasonably engaging space strategy game with fairly good AI and AAA production values then you really can't go wron...

Re: Just finishing my first game on normal, some thoughts.

I had this same gripe. Turning on "auto-send transports to pool" took care of it.

Re: Report - Current Bugs and Issues

Uploaded game 1387. Had a transport with 1 Tank on it. Invaded a world with it. Put the Tank brigade on the planet. Now (many turns later) I find I have that same Transport (in Arcusi system) but it can't go back into the pool, because it is carrying "0 Brigades". What gives? This smells l...
