You will need ROTS to play it so no escaping that.

It would be nice to get a line on when beta testing is expected to begin. Even if it's just 1 month or 2 months. Of course, it would also be great to hear what sort of things the expansion will feature. Not that it's likely, but we can only continue to beg and hope that Erik takes pity on us. I'm expecting a border system to be implemented. It's been discussed alot and even had a comment from Elliot, who sounded amenable to the idea. I'd also expect to see some more support for modding, though what that will be, is anyones guess.

I was looking at the prior page: I never ever knew anything about that game: that was the first I heard about that game failure. But I recently saw on a board game I was looking forward to that they pulled a picture off of the website, I guess because they could not make the platform work in the game system.... So I guess you are correct; they need to be close-mouthed.

How do we know he's close-mouthed? We can't see squat [:)]

Data -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/13/2011 9:36:40 PM)
let me check what "out of the loop" means and I'll answer that [:D]

Erik Rutins -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 4:54:32 PM)
Ok, here's something to get you started. One of the many new things in the next expansion will be some new space "creatures". This is a relatively minor, but fun part of the game to add to (and of course for those of you that don't like them, you can still turn them off). Some are organic to the galaxy, others will only appear as part of certain variable events. The basic theme with these is that they live, they move, they eat stuff (with all of those varying to some degree by creature). As part of the promotion for the expansion, we'll be running a contest to ask gamers to design a new space creature for us and the best entry (in our opinion) will get the professional treatment and be made part of the expansion release. So feel free to get thinking so that you have a head start once that contest starts. [8D] Ok, a few more things to think about and discuss: - Territory / Borders - Unique Faction / Species characteristics and abilities, including victory conditions - Leaders / Characters for each Faction, of various types and abilities, with the ability to improve All of these will of course be open to modders. [:)] Regards, - Erik

Data -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 5:08:13 PM)
Awesome stuff, thx for the teasers Erik

Sithuk -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 6:17:16 PM)
Data: Mind setting up a discussion thread for each of those four?

J HG T -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 7:13:19 PM)
Nice! Thanks for the info, Erik! Every little bit counts. On Territory/Borders: I hope the territory system still allows you to colonize planets outside your borders, but with penalties relative to distance from your main empire and presence of other empires and entities.

Data -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 7:19:15 PM)
No need for different threads, all of us will pile up in the one Erik caves in first.

Igard -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 8:13:10 PM)
Great news! Wasn't expecting this much, but I'm not complaining! It might be best like Sithuk suggests, to create a thread for each of these. I'll go ahead and do that. It makes it much easier for Erik and Elliot to read. Maybe not the space creature contest as that will be posted by Erik when the time comes.

Shuul -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 8:38:53 PM)
Ok, not that bad, but... Will there be more tech components and ship roles (maybe improved combat)? as i care about it more then about borders etc...

ASHBERY76 -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 8:41:09 PM)
Space monsters.events,leaders. more species characteristics and abilities, including victory conditions I could not be happier.[:)]

Data -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 8:55:12 PM)
You could and you will....when it will come out and we'll see them in action [:)]

Speedy2511 -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 9:41:09 PM)
And AI improvments, i hope!

Simulation01 -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 11:05:33 PM)
OH God!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! If they are going to run a contest that could take months!!!!!!!!! Thank you anyway Erik. grumble grumble

MaxyGamer -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/14/2011 11:29:08 PM)
No... We don't...We most definitely don't! There will be more! [:)]

Data -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/15/2011 7:04:45 AM)
Moaaar, moaaaaaar [:)]

Data -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/15/2011 7:17:28 AM)
lol, granted....chinese drop torture

Caesar_Augustus -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/15/2011 7:43:51 PM)
No, Data, not at all. Psalm 89 (Latin Vulgate numbering, of course) encourages us: "One thousand years in the presence of the Lord is but a yesterday, already passed..." So you see, patience is a great virtue! [;)]

Data -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/15/2011 7:49:58 PM)
It is. Then again I never claimed to be a virtuous person so moaaar....moaaaaaar [:D]

nammafia -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/15/2011 8:35:26 PM)
Thanks for the update. The galaxy will be more alive with this expansion. The game also will be more awesome.

Imrryran -> RE: Just a quick note... (6/19/2011 8:35:23 PM)
I have to say I'm quite disappointed that the "war" side of the game will be enhanced but not the "political" side, which is really lacking flavour at the moment (the only action is to choose between some pre-defined government types). [:(]

[:(] How could they introduce borders without modifying the political system? They have given a few headlines for things touched, it is hardly a complete list. I am OK with war being huge though, but war and the political game runs hand in hand.
