Everyone knows the shortest distance between two points is...

Under Construction!

Gotta get Dual Boot. game wont work with Vista. Get a partition with XP.

[Corbomite]

I guess I'm going to have to fix my computer again. I need to find time to reload the system and all of the programs.  Any word on start date?

[Dizzy]

2 weeks to a test server.

DO NOT GET VISTA!!!!!!!!!!

Not to worry my friend!  I'm sticking with XP.

In fact, I may make Vista the OS I skip altogether, and keep XP until the Vista replacement appears.

Try XP64...more resourses, handles more RAM, faster processers and a higher Vid card.  Got a 3 Ghz dual core, 4 GB RAM and a 512 vid card w/mine. 
And works great with OP.

I haven't been able to locate a copy of XP64, any suggestions?

Thanks, I have had a 64 bit machine for over 5 years now.  But only had a 32bit OS on it.  I had XP64 when it first came out and I downloaded the demo version.  But driver support had me go to XP pro instead.

You should include the Taldren adv ships on your shiplist.  I mean what's the point of OP if you don't include these ships.  I mean, these ships are so cool you don't even have to worry about power management.  The only reason for not having them is if you're afraid.

Knight's right. They went through the bother to code G2 phasers, so we might as use them.

The also went through the bother to code fighters that fly away from battle.  Everything coded in isn't always worth using.  At least in the form they have them.

The wandering fighters in battle is a bug....not really a fair comparison...

not truely a battle bug, a logic error I assume.  But point being, just because something is put in, doesn't mean it is good, or balanced for the game to be used.

My son is working on modding WarHammer40000:Dawn of War:Soulstorm and they have moved around some of the tech to make it more balanced.  It's a long process of balance one area, then find it messed up another area, fix that part. Rinse, repeat.

So even if G2's are good, maybe the point cost is off, or just the ship might not balance well for a fighting equal point battles.  Something to look into, make some of our ships that use them, etc.

G2 Phasers are an abomination and should never be used except on player created monsters and big baddie AI only ships. Anything that is ECM proof  and a guaranteed hit out to range 15 shouldn't be allowed in the hands of a live player.

Our X2-love was a joke, because we really don't like the Taldren X ships. Okay, so it wasn't as good as Frey's April Fools joke... but we still got you.

Roy's lying.  After you abandoned us to the 450 adv crowd, they corrupted us.
