  • A very interesting read  - from somebody who's actually seen the sausage being made. Btw, are all the authors really as diabolical as their portraits make them look?. Taken together, they look like something out of Batmans' rogue gallery..
  • "but the style itself seems to be a few years outdated and done in a way that just looks... well, like a cartoon. I'm not saying that this game is for kids, I'm just saying I'd prefer it to look like it was more realistic. Why can't it be?" "Reali…
  • Looks like they're back up now. I thought maybe they were changing ISP's, but I guess not.
  • Unbelievable. They will probably have to pay big bucks to get it back now. What a pity. This sort of thing is why I decided not to invest any serious time (and certainly not money) into the game. It would have been a monstrous waste, that much is …
  • I've thought about this as well. I just don't know what the premise would be. In the original Alien, it was a completely unexpected encounter, like John Carpenter's The Thing - a small group of isolated people trying to survive. In the others ther…
  • Originally posted by Dog6880  Ahh if only an SQO forum moderator was here to lock this thread.  In a way Bosh's heavy handed Fascist ways of forum moderation were rather useful.     Lol. You read my mind. Remember though...while the heavy h…
  • Originally posted by TexSciFiChic I'd say that cuts both ways It's kinda refreshing to see an administrator have the cajones to tell a problem customer off , rather than make the rest of  the customers (me included) put up with them   Of c…
  • Originally posted by TexSciFiChic Originally posted by Dog6880 Feel free to ask me not to pay for this game anymore. So they did, and you're surprised ? Dog probably isn't, but I think anyone who runs a business would be surprised shocked by…
  • To the OP - I was a Master Weaponsmith pre-cu. I think some of the things mentioned by others played a role (economy, balance, crafting popularity, etc.), but I suspect a lot of it came down to maintenance possibly being too costly. Many folks w…
  • I was going to re-update my old "Unbiased Review" post, but you've saved me the trouble. I agree, the core ideas are good, but this wouldn't be the first game with "potential" I've seen that never lived up to it. More often than not, they don't. "…
  • There never has been friendly fire, and it's a good thing. I can't begin to imagine the griefing that would go on. Multiple personas have already been used to deplete enemy supplies. Friendly fire could concievably derail the whole game if implement…
  • It's clearly concept art - but it does give a good feel for the 3 different faction styles. I always liked the fact that you could look around your cockpit in JTL (even though I always fought in 3rd). Combined with the ship's handling, it made it co…
  • "I was just talking about unnecessary killing/dictating in the name of religion." I know Christianity is an easy target, but I think you're trying to dig up the wrong tomb.  
  • the gnome nails it.
  • - declaredredemer, I understand what you're saying now. I'm just not being clear enough in what I was trying to point out. When Ike made the speech in 61', he was delivering a non-partisan warning against something unprecedented in the U.S. You'…
  • "In other words, you are suggesting that President Dwight D. Eisenhower, former Supreme Allied Commander, is a member of the "far Left"? " Just like the term "Neoconservative", Military Industrial Complex had a different meaning in both it's conte…
  • The context and use of the term has changed over time. In the 80's, they were Blue-Dog Democrats (back when Repubs were blue and Dems red. Funny how things change.) who supported Reagan's foreign policy stance against the Soviets, yet still embraced…
  • It all ended for me soon after I finished the awful grind to Master Weaponsmith. Before the CU I was able to wear some armor and carry a carbine for basic protection while surveying/placing extractors. After the CU I was limited to Bone armor and a …
  • Did you bother to find out anything about the man before posting? His brother River died in 1993. While it could be a "stunt", I've seen this sort of thing with too many people I've known. He's not a very happy guy. He's never really liked actin…
  • Thanks for correcting me on that! I'm relieved to hear it actually. Got  the flow of converation screwed up. Pardon me for my misinterpretation. I'm perfectly happy to play a game with 5 year old graphics too...as long as I have the hope that they…
