i dont know, but ill definetly be posting stuff on the STGU

May have been a slip of the tongue but Gturfey mentioned in the interview that the Ferengi will be a major race in the game along with cardies, dominion, feds, romulans and klingon

is it true?

time was 49.06, damn itunes runs backwords lol

Yeah heard that too. We shall see when demo arrives so be patient.

can you believe my luck? i can`t listen to the damn thing, my speakers have died the stgu is in our links section for those of you interested.

WOOT, half way through now, and my only fear seems to have been banished, just listened to the part about AI,seems Gturfey has done a great job on it, excellant work.

soo happy

Good interview. ALways glad to hear a litle more about the game. Cant wait to see the AI in action if its really as good as it sounds.

I was a little confused by the ferengi being named as a major empire as well, is this true, or just a mistake?

Nice interview. 2d battles at first and later on 3d with possible C&C style land battles. Sounds good. The AI sounds scary!

I don't think I like the C&C land battles. It'll take far too much time I guess. Perhaps just play a small movie to show who is winning. MoO2 had quite an amusing system for it.

On the other hand, the way they did it in BotF served the purpose as well. No need to go into further detail.

Centurion_VarDin

I agree. I wouldn't mind the old botf method at all as long as we get 3d space battles at some point.

the ferengi are a major minor, a slip of the tounge there

jigalypuff - Are the borg major minors?

the borg are a random

I suppose someone could mod it so that they start in the delta quadrant?

erm no, they start off with a home system in the gamma quadrent, if you get to there they will be massive, as they will be expanding as they are an expandable minor. but they will also appear as a random.

im downloadin the mp3 now, but im on dialup - so is there any mention of flagships?

nope

Hearing that the AI is some what strong just makes me want to play it even more, cant wait to see what the AI is like

great stuff on the patch news, saves alot of time redownloading the game.

just listened to the first 15mins or so, it sounds great. i cant wait to play a mamoth, play for the universe, winner takes all, master of all creation, 20,000 system game with my mates. HELL YER

Althought bringing out the game in bits like patches etc is a gr8 idea for people with slow connections. Surely if a part of the game is complete those of us with higher speed connections should be given a chance to download them? Simply making the different parts avalibale as they are completed would mean those who can download will?

Carott: i think you are right. im only on 56k but that doesnt stop me from doing 4.5gig up and down a month. I am patient. Having a full version to download really announces that the game is complete.

listen to the interview again you dingos kidney, as parts are finished they will be released.

I'm assuming that's a typo, since I know you know which quadrant the Borg originated in.

delta

Ok I understand now. Perfect! I cant wait to meet my first borg sphere in battle!

Same here, I plan to build hundreds of NX-01 and ram the crap out of the Borg.

Unless the Borg have a Tactical Cube

Thats what the colony ships will be for. While the Cube attacks them my fleet of NX-01's will have a field day, ramming the cube.

I dare say if you're unlucky enough to encounter the Borg during the NX era you'll be looking at an uphill struggle.
