I've still been experiencing server issues as of this morning, exactly the same as other users have described, and since it's been for more than a week I thought I'd chip in as well. Yes, it's unplayable, however at times I CAN get a stable connection for about a few hours, then the timeout errors r...

Are the autofacs the same TL as the jumyards? Also, sometimes it can be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting the trade routes. IIRC Eldritches use the same component as Warphant, the advanced jumpdrive, so if it's producing for one it should for the other. Maybe there's insufficient import, in wh...

Okay, so you need foundations to advance worlds past TL7. At TL8 or 9 you'll be much more powerful as then you can build the "good" units. Designate a foundation world, make sure its supplied, and import tech levels from it. The absolute easiest way (IMO) for a new player is to use trade clusters. S...

Oh that's okay, no worries! It's just that I prefer to keep separate accounts for everything, nothing that can be linked to each other, for privacy reasons etc etc. You know. I'm happy to wait, no pressure.

Are multiple accounts legal? Nope, and generally frowned upon. People can use them to instigate wars, troll other players (by attacking then abdicating) or just name their worlds obnoxious things in general. It's happened before. Having said that, there is no actual mechanism in place to prevent th...

Would it be a horrible idea to tout Anacreon somewhere like the 4X subreddit? On one hand it would be nice to see more players, on the other hand it's a) beta software and b) running on a server that probably can't support a ton of concurrent users. Did we end up promoting this on the sub or not? I...

Updated.

Welcome to the galaxy, Oddball. Good luck!

Imperator, based on your war results can you verify that when you capture a jumpship yard outside of sector capital radius it still projects a beacon?

I'm fairly sure it does, IIRC. Which is why defending them is so important.

I would like to know the details of Imerpium's war, which so far is the only war that has been conducted within the new parameters. Maybe a few answers+ could be: How did your fleets respond to the planetary defenses, how did the tactics change since there were a few instances that you had to use s...

Well, it's a nice Sunday and it looks like we've all had the opportunity to play around for about a good 2 weeks now. I'm sure we've all got to build and test a variety of units, and for some of us (like me) actually use them against other players. So does anyone have any feedback about the unit bal...

Ah yes... so the Imperium's secret project of nebula manipulation is working after all. Jokes aside, it seems the nebulae have indeed "shifted" around a bit. Here are images showing the map before and after. Look at the region in white. Yes, the "before" image was from 2 days ago, I don't have a ver...

Okay, since I've expanded into the light nebula south of me I can confirm ramjets are indeed working properly. It seems to be just that little strip of dark nebula surrounding my capital that's acting funny. I think the ramjet code is thinking it's a rift zone instead of a nebula so it's refusing to...

Ah, I was referring more to your buildup of Citadels. You could effectively shoot down every single ship as soon as it left the jumpyard, but the Federation could not. Also, if you chose, you could restrict maneuvers to and from his core with the amount of Citadels. That was the blockade part. Hmm ...

Thanks for the updated map, one other thought on spawning next to a large empire all the worlds get taken before a new player can get established. Just a thought It is a good thought and actually a strong strategy, especially in when starting out. If the other player is forced to abdicate because t...

Yes, definitely! Great idea. We need more players, and hopefully with more people interested George might be motivated to accelerate development and/or find ways to monetise it, and by extension provide more support for the game.
