New Preview at Gamespy Inflate your Upload Space

Just wanted to post this here for you folks that dont like wading through the IG forum. Sorry, but I dont know how to make the link work, so you may have to cut and paste it:

This is the quote that makes me happiest:

"Multiplayer is deep, full of political backstabbing, and is downright fun."

Soon folks, soon!

PBEM has *never* been in, ever since they decided upon RT combat a few years ago!

Yes they turned off PBEM and hotseat because of the RT combat. A pity in my opinion.

Woah....

http://www.gamespy.com/asp/image.as...03/moo3pc/9.jpg

Check out the systems with lowercase names -- outposts?? Just like MOO2, or the ability to rename star-systems is back?

I doubt a system name would just automatically be lowercase --

hmm I agree, outpost.

Having never played the demo... and knowing you can rename...


It would be kind of nice if you could claim a system as yours simply by maintaining a ship or something in it. Then suffer diplomatic tensions between people who violate airspace, etc in that area.

I like to change the subject.

Who's up for some pizza?

I had seen that in some earlier screens from a different preview adn was wondering about that. Outposts is a good bet.

Now can you tell me what the little blue-white snowball looking thing to the right of the ship is?

"By the end of the month" is mere speculation on his part. Unless QS and IG are violating their own promise, no solid info gets released until the game goes gold.

No, No. I was merely commenting on Tuberski's post. As I understood from his reply, he thought the reviewers "by the end of the month" was solid info. I am pointing out that it isn't.
