Sorry Marcathonas, the "Kingdom of Dodorian Federations" has had a slight setback. Due to trading new technologies with the more advanced races in the galaxy, the Dodorians have installed these techs on their new ships.
Unfortunately they have not yet figured out how to turn the knobs and switches of their new hardware with their wings.

At the moment, the brightest and most intelligent Dodorian researchers are researching a mind-machine controll system.

It may take a while!

I did play MMOs like WoW and CoH for a while, but left WoW because of the ganking problem and the dead-endness of the higher levels in the game because you have to grind those uber-dungeons for high level stuff, and I left CoH because I was tired of MMOs for a while and even though the CoV expansion looks very cool, I'm still taking a break from MMOs for a while.

Marc I usually hide behind several firewalls, use an antivirus( would use more than one at a time if it were possible), and several anti-spyware programs all at once. I also use non-standard things like Firefox to help decrease my risk. I'm considering getting surfside Xandros to further protect my windows machine. I'm quite paraniod about my secuity and I know even with all my precautions I'm still not safe. So I definately won't open myself up like that on purpose.

haha well yes and no... most of the current fleet did have the game right when it came out... but the colonial fleet is referring to the show battlestar galactica. its our empire under the metaverse and we all happen to like the show.

If you want decent protection, use Opera. It's got amazing load times and built in protection.

Oh, and CoV just rules. Literally. Except they nerfed regen, the best secondary in the game, because it was completely unkillable in PVP.

I use firefox too to decrease my risk, as well as a firewall and AV. though I'm not that worried about my security.

At some point I have to have a balance between security, and surfing/playing the internet and other networks... (LAN, etc)
My main point with firefox is that it doesn't view all sites, some are tailored specifically for IE.

I have the same issue but that's because those sites don't use standard language they purposely write to IE. The only reason I try to be as secure as I do is I hate having to wipe everything clean and start over because of some idiot with too much time on his hands.

oh yea, I did play as a regen scrapper, that guy as a higher level was pratically immortal, gotta watch the endurance though.

and cool about the metaverse thing. I'm thinking of doing some metaverse games, although I can't decide whether to use my idea for a custom race (info is here: Link , although the stats are likely to change) or a preset race for the game since I only have the demo atm, but I'm planning on getting the game for my B-Day in two weeks from tomorrow

Smiij, be the Drath. 50% defence bonus, 50% espionage bonus. We pay people to work for us

And yeah, spines/regen is still pretty good, but regen is no longer immortal. instant healing was changed from a toggle to a click power, so after a minute of fighting its gone (no more soloing AVs). And Enhancement Diversification means you can't get +200% in any stat now, so no perma-hasten or perma-MoG.

And spines is basically being kicked in the nuts, repeatedly. Current flavour of the month is Stone tankers (unkillables after 32, saw one mash up 40 purps), Ice/nrg blasters (huge damage at long range, huge at close range), and MA (or claws) SR, especially now SR got a big boost in I7. But I still love Dark Armour, lovely crowd control powers, I handled about 40 red behemoths once (and killed 10, before the sods all launched fire breath at once).

... Back to galciv, Drath pwn. End of.

yes I'm planning on getting SEV, see how it measures up to GC.

By the way a quick question, is there a limit to the amount of posts in a thread?

Marc it's still in devopment but the octagons will be part of the game, I don't know if you will be able to turn them off. The Upside is it will be fully 3D and be customizable in some ways GC2 is not.

the links seem to need a bit of tweaking... but I got them to view finally... and I agree with Marc, the graphics don't compare with GC2... though it's the gameplay that really matters, so we'll see

GC2s UI is fully customisable, if that's what you mean. Just not easily customisable (have to fiddle about with desktopX and the .x files)

And we beat the sticky! Again! I'm going to grab some tea, w00t.
