Tomorow... *crosses fingers*

Strip poker Thursday with the Advent?

!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111!!!

SATCOM has detected inbound hostiles...

Allied backup has arrived...

An ominous force disrupts the balance of the galaxy!!! Defilers encroach upon us!!!

Oh I thought we were gunna go to the vasari red light district.

Bringing out the big guns.

Meh, I'm not one for slave girls, and those bouncers are creepy...

The problem with that is that it seems like a great idea at the time, but then we go and never win because they just read our minds and know what cards we have. It's an intergalactic hustle!

Our ships have left phaaaaaaasse space!

i really doubt they will even release the vasari at all. just look how they have been doing things! and hell i have pm yarlen two weeks ago and still no contact, and that stuff about him being online most of the time is a bunch of BS he is never online.

Your ragnarov is so big.

@Sithis44

What do you mean by that? If you mean strictly by release, they did the TEC the first week of March and the Advent the first week of April. They are one whole week behind (the horror!), which is easily explained because one would expect balancing to be more time-intensive with two races instead of one.

yes foukem thats what i mean , the only way we are going to get to play as the third faction is when the game is released, now i could be wrong but the way things are comeing along it would not suprise me one bit.

Pfff. Yeah that's what happened to the first morons to try it. Real men don't even look at their cards to win. If I'm going in blind so are they.

Edit: For some reason I can never quote you Mr. Haze. Might want to post in forum issues about that.

So there was a phase stabilizer "issue" and the Vasari armada is stuck on the other side of known space. Vasari techs are hard at work on it, but they're waiting for parts to arrive, so it's probably going to take them a week to show up.

So, when the new update with Vasari?

I'm sure there is significantly more difficulty getting the Vasari working internally.  Not only that, but such wide-spectrum abilities such as The Maw or Nano Remit which instagibs all frigates in the area and converts them into resources and gives the Kultorask near infinite hull regen respectively would be nigh impossible to balance.  At this point, it's fairly obvious, don't bring frigates to battle with the Vorastra.  They WILL get eaten.  As for the Kultorask, the only way to kill it may be with bomber spam with a titan.  Anything else and it can just regen any damage it takes.  Then there's the whole loyalists munching on planets thing and go completely mobile.

Yarlen really is online a lot though and reads whatever he can, he just doesn't respond to most things because he doesn't want to interfere and when devs post, they get all sorts of "hey, since you're here, why don't you do this" posts.  He just lets things simmer.  In the game I'm a dev of, the devs spend so much time on the forums that that doesn't happen, but that's because we're all in college and have the time.  Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if Yarlen's some really common forum poster with two accounts so he can make personal statements as well as official ones.

Good to hear.    I'm assuming then that they were slated for earlier but some bug/crash cropped up that halted development of them.  From the sounds of this though, it looks like the bug has at least been found.

It's my dot, see how the quote is fixed when I remove it? Funnily enough I went to try and remove it but apparently both it and my space are illegal characters, so I have no idea how I have them in the first place.

soooooooo there still gonna be a patch today right?

One more week?

So best prognosis is at least 1 week until Vasari ?

Looks like a great weekend to go to the beach!
