I'm the same, to a degree. It's so slow paced, even if you try to set up a simple skirmish :lol:

Yeah I'm bringing it back from the dead, but the first micro-expansion is out next week :D

IGN have a preview of it and it looks sweet.

Yeah I installed it again a few weeks ago but have not got round to playing it yet. I might check out a couple of the mods that are on the site.

Yeah, I got the email but haven't checked it out. Does it cost anything or is it free?

Its a cost, roughly £6.50, but its worth it. Minefields and starbases are very cool. I meant to try it for a few minutes last night ended up on it for like 3 hours!

There is a new patch, so maybe.

I has it. Took bloody ages to register the order though, like hours. It's only just popped up as available on my Impulse list.

Have my resolution glitch is still here. No options to change it. Although I did find the hidden settings folder and crank the visuals up manually.

Weird, mine was instant. They must not like you.

I don't like me either. Just spent two hours on a small skirmish. It's still far from over, and I'm not doing so well. Think I'll hang back and play defense. I got carried away with the pirates.

I just got this. Keep getting butt raped. If every AI isn't constantly upping the price on my head, then they are relentlessly attacking me within the first 30 minutes :x And to top it off, because it updated, all of my old save files from when I was actually doing really well are invalid.

They killed the saves? That sucks. I never left any battle I could win unresolved... and there were few of those :lol:

This game just takes so long. If you speed up the timer it doesn't feel right, it's almost as if the slow pace is the point. But a simple skirmish can outlast most single player games.
