QuoteSounds a little lack luster to someone like me. Did they even add anything new to show what the modding suite is capable of?

The new theme contains some of the new features.

I do apologize, I am a modder / coder not a sales person, I did say I could help with questions on the new modding capabilities not sell the new features, I did the best I could with the post a few up to explain about things. I would go and have a look at the new Universe page over at Matrix to get a better view of things, that has a full list of features and new content.

Ok, I'll take a look. It's only $11 and probably worth it if only to be able to use some of the mods that will be a available

QuoteYou don't have to be a sales person to speak freely about a game that you beta tested and have knowledge about. Nobody is asking you to sell the game, we're just looking for information...you know, that is kind of what a forum is for. What's with the attitude?

No attitude, honest  O:-)

I had a bit of an accident on Thursday, in a lot of pain, maybe that is reflecting in my words, sorry for that. I did my best to outline a few of the new things in the large post I made, there are some great new features, I was just trying to get across that I can help with questions on the modding capabilities, I was working with all the new text file sections and general bug bashing, there are a whole slew of new features in the editor for example that I have only scratched the surface of, I am just better at explaining what you can do with it rather than what is in it, sorry bud if I have offended you.

Trying to prove the existence of God with the Bible is the same thing as trying to prove the existence of Orcs using the Lord of the Rings books.

No offense. Thought something might be bugging you.

What happened?  Are you ok?

I have problems with seeing in light, I bumped into a lamppost, fell, got clipped by a car and then bounced into a metal pillar, upper right chest is a bit banged up, on meds but they are really not covering the pain. I am always having accidents in the brighter months, generally not as bad as this though. I am used to working out in the early mornings, have not been able to obviously, that doesn't help much either. Thanks for the words.

I hope you make a speedy recovery. I'm sorry you are in pain. :(

Geez man.  Hope you heal up quickly. 

And try to avoid Human Pinball in the future.  :o

Sorry to hear about your accident, Darkspire.  I second the well-wishes in your recovery. 



I'm glad we're finally getting the chance to play the Ancient Galaxy campaign ourselves in Universe.  I'd say that's worth $10 (especially along with whatever other improvements get included).  :)

Get well soon Darkspire.


This is out tomorrow. I'm willing to pull the trigger based on the favourable comments I've read and the vids I've seen on Youtube.

Anyone have anything more to add? I'm not looking for faults but comments on how awesome this game is, thanks.

Well, it's one of the few games that never comes off my hard drive and that I frequently return to to play again and again. Micro-manage to any degree of complexity you want, control everything or nothing or anywhere in between.  My favorite part is the research and fleet management.

Steam has the manual up as of today , if you want to check that out.

I was hoping I could avoid blowing yet more cash on games but don't think I'm going to be able to resist... Steam just makes it all so easy.  Haven't played DW in a long time -- in fact never picked up any of the expansions -- so looking forward to diving into the fully matured, tricked-out version of DW over the weekend.

Also, best wishes for your recovery, Darkspire -- that is a nasty turn of events.

Just so you know you don't have to buy through steam, here is what Eric says on the DW forum.

"Yes, if you purchase/upgrade through our store we will offer a Steam key as well. We and Elliot earn the most revenue when you purchase directly through us, but we want to make DW available to the larger community and many new players as well, while offering the most flexibility to our existing community. There will be a page on our site to use your Universe serial number to retrieve a Steam key after you purchase Universe.

Regards,

- Erik"
If I buy it will be through the Matrix site.
