Glad to see you got the game running. Wait on building an outpost or starbase until the next update.

As Kenneth said, avoid building them for the time being. The game crashes for everyone, not just you, because there's a bug in the game. Mike knows of the issue and will fix it in the next update. Unfortunately the update is a long way off. It will also require the installation of .Net 4.0 to play. (Which hasn't yet been released and is part of the reason why the update is a long way off)

It's a shame we won't get it for cristmas.

We still might get it for crimbo...but for christmas 2010, of course.

dam it i have to wait even longer just to use star bases that sucks but i supose i have no choice but to wait so il play sum of my other new games i just downloaded then to pass the time lol

oooooh yummy

Mike just posted a new update. The game now has a built-in clock so you can check how long you've been playing.

Oh I see. Did he also say that we'll be able to send an electric shock through our computers to us after, say, 5 hours straight of gameplay? .

Yes, the shocks will be dispensed automatically whenever you lose a game. We shall call this shock feedback. The game will also come with a warning that it shouldn't be used by people with heart problems.

No seriously, nothing yet...but i'm sure it's on his to-do list.

I look forward to this feature. But barring that, I thought a feature that shuts down the game after about 3 1/2 hours would work wonders . But I'm good for now, I got Star Trek on DVD for Christmas. I can't stop watching the gag reel. It's amazing . Well, that's it for now .

Ah gag reels. That's what Youtube is for.

As for autoshutdowns, they're already in. But we prefer the terms 'bugs' and 'random unexplainable crashes'. See? Mike provides us with exactly what we want.

Good one.

Ah yes. Those random unexplainable crashes seem to plague many games. I wonder if there's something major developers aren't telling us? Ah well it doesn't matter. I've now stopped laughing at the gag reels, and I am busy attempting to make this mobile webcam I got for Christmas work. Once it works, well, it'll really be a mobile webcam (if I ever get it to work). Well, that's about it for now.
