yup, free target practice... however i dont think crews train while just flying around they actually need to be told to train  ;)

sorta sad they dont auto train together.

Another negative I have about the game is...

Short tech tree?

I hit the ends of a tech tree fairly fast in my last game.

Sorta sucked.

Believe it or not, they are at war with basically the entire galaxy, and yet they can beat most of it.

and their freaking capital ships have damned area weapons, my ships are usually decimated after a battle...

Oh well, I'm winning even though I lose most ship-to-ship battles, they just can't take everyone attacking them, and they still want something for peace, not going to happen!

Edit; I just found a bunch of crap, can you answer some questions?

EDIT:I'd call an error that prevents you from seeing anything on the main screen if you chose not to end the program a really big bug, it happened when I zoomed in on a 'storm'.

ED: why did they release a game as buggy as this? so many bugs! >:(

ive seen much worse at release, and they are trying to fix the bugs as fast as possible.

The issue with small indy developers is its hard to keep beta testers even for well known games. Beta's are free generally.

I cleared 3 systems full of precursors with a single 60k tons CIWS+lasers heavy battleship. Magneto-plasma tech level and not even a scratch to the armor.

How did you manage to catch fleeing Precursor ships? Could you cram enough engines to push that BB past 4700 km/s? :o

they flee to their storage base and die in the final battle...

All NPR's do this. you can have a 200km/s battleship and clear systems. Speed doesnt matter.

Anyone know a fast way to win my war?

It goes like this, my opponent is too strong, but they could not possibly mount a attack on my colonies without taking heavy losses, and sending their entire fleet.

On the other hand, I cannot attack without the same tactics.

I am researching faster than them (I think) but they are expanding everywhere.

And, believe it or not, the reason I haven't accepted their peace treaty is because I don't want to give up a resort, that's right, a resort. :P

I'm blue, they're red, centered is my capitol system, yellow/green is a different empire than me but the same race.

jump onto their homeworld, kill their large star base, jump out and play defense, then when they almost finish the star base on their homeworld again jump in and kill it again... rinse repeat...

eventually they will be out of money? It seemed to work for me.

Yes, I have the second patch, and the extra 2GB should handle all of Vista's junk, my large pagefile should be able to handle any extra junk (data on your disk can act like RAM, a-bit slower than RAM).

Well, guess I will have to start again for the third time. (second time I ran out of money :P)

The out of memory error is being worked on for next patch, Developer says so in his newest patch post, says sometime this weekend people who actually paid for the game will get the patch, then sometime monday a public patch will be released.
