I don't want to sound ungrateful, but isn't this just another supply resource effectively? I mean it seems to do the same job. The only difference I can see is that it looks like you need a certain amount of it to build more advanced ships, which is good.

Or I could be completely wrong and it could be awesome, which is what I don't always expect from you guys, but you always deliver.

Another thought, does this remind anyone of the Ork Resource in DOW1 at all? Or the Ork races economy in general? Obviously the military side is the opposite, less, powerful ships instead of a hoarde of green flesh, but does anyone know what I mean?

EDIT: That may have come off as a negative post....It's not meant to be, I've been keeping up with everything going into this patch, I really can't wait. So much new stuff; it seems like a real "content" patch. I don't even care that I've got exams in a couple of weeks!

Hi guys, quick question

for module selection will it reset every time u build a ship or will it stick to the same unless u change it?  building a new shipyard and selecting new modules manually every time is tad on the tedious side.

as we approach the two month mark since 3.5a................ but please take your time, i know the longer it is, the better it will be, however that cant stop my anticipation

however, the main point of this, is seeing as this is almost the two month mark (the 16th) could we maybye get some new news?

When they have news, they will tell us.

I'm sorry, but I have said this now well over two dozen times. Be patient. They released news just two weeks ago. You've already made your point about being excited, twenty or more times, so stop badgering them.

It's always the same, "I want new stuff and I want it NOW". If you're really that bored with what you've already got, go play another mod, game, or do something else, while you're waiting.

Take your time. I've been in several mod teams for Ra2/YR and one of the most annoying things was impatience.
When the patch is done, it will be released. You folks don't want the patch released before it's truly ready do you?

Nope! besides if you look back about a page or so you'll see that the patch will be released soon (like within the month). Besides if you tally up everything they're doing, you'll see that two months is actually a short period of time for what you're getting! after all, they're adding hero ships, redoing the borg ship construction, adding a new fed ship, fixing hundreds of typos (no offense intended), tweaking balance, the list goes on and on...

guys, i just said i understand it takes time, and i want them to, i was just saying, that in the meantime, could we have another screenshot or somthing, i really like how that ambasador looks

I konw, and i would like to see screenshots myself, but why release a few screenshots only to release the patch a couple weeks later? you can make all the screenshots you want then...

Hmm...Im anticipating the upcoming patch....yet I dont need to act like a "lil_child" while I wait unlike some ppl. this is really a great game and to make a great game even better takes time. I just hope I can adapt quickly to the updates.

I have a question totally unrelated to anything except what this thread was started about will the AI borg now at least appear to build ships like players?

posted on May 14th, 2009, 4:17 am

well as players do now have construction times: yes. sadly the Collective Uplink can not be lost for the AI, as there are issues with the good old armada AI for rebuilding a unit (the Uplink) over and over again. We are currently working at the graphics sector but once we achieved everything there thats on our todo, we will start digging into the AI.

The new Federeration vessel wont be in 3.0.6, its planed along with a larger Federation redo for 3.0.7 or 3.0.8, but the 3.0.6 patch includes many new features and much content we havent talked about yet. Thats up for you to discover than
