The phase lane argument has been made ad nauseum before (check the forums). They're here to stay. Without phase lanes the game would be much less manageable, but i do think that there should be some ship that can attack in phase space. There is a long time that ships travel esp through stars.

I like it. Supply lines, maybe. More realistically it would be the limitation on command and control distances. Rationalization being: Dang it costs a lot of money (antimatter) to boost our communications signals all the way to that system or star. Then make the intersteller broadcast upgrade/research drop the costs. Great that i got some stuff going one thin
Especially the boarding stuff and ship killer torps. Yea! boarding ships would be a GREAT addition.
Will all the strategy games out there there has always been some sort of capital, but when u have a solar empire that spans STAR SYSTEMS there is going to be a VERY large need for red tape With alliance going to play a big part in late game play if you have control of the majority of planets in the system it would be nice to have a "capital" other then ur home planet, that would also be able to take c
One thing worth exploring could be the inclusion of satilites. The the first ring around the planets could be used to house to enhance tactical logistical slots also a control center would be cool to increase fleet size and coordinate defense.
yea but if gravity were to come into gameplay then why not add something to influence the gravity? For instance make a gauss upgrade able to attract ships toward it in a fight and have a sling shot abilty for ships leaving or something like that...
If you wanted to be realistic you could also make the debris orbit the planet in a ring this is what is actually supposed to happen if a large object were destroyed, one thing that would be interesting to see is the incorporation of wormholes and black holes
thanks!
Every time I try to load a game I get a recurring Error it is as follows: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Iron Clad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mini Dump\Sins of a Solar Empire.exe[vb3.4][07.20][18.39] then the game freezes and i have to start over anything that i can do to fix it?
I have played several games and all I can say is that if this is the beta version i am stunned. Its the little things that make the game, like the load bar changinf colors or the random planets behind the different menu screens. The traffic aaround the planets also adds a very nice touch. Keep the skyboxes, music, traffic and artifact boosts. One thing i would like to see comes from Gal Civ is the ability to desgin your own ships. Otherwise I eagarly await the next beta and can't
