I can release it, but you will have to have Geoschmo update to it. Not likely to happen.

Actually it is 100% likely to happen... just not in the next 5 minutes or anything.

I hope it won't happen in the next 5 days either.

The Tholian Assembly does not approve of your message.

I found an amazingly tiny "feature". When you apply the 1.72Patch, the Version number displayed in the info box of the ModLauncher changes from 1.72 to 1.71, though the splash screen remains with 1.72 on it.

Naw, I will wait until the beginning of the month so we can include any other issues we discover while playing.

I am a computer tech and I agree that HP, Compaq, Dell, Gateway all suck for the most part. I work on these brands all the time. Now for desktops I find Sony makes a pretty good computer. I don't see those back very often for repairs. As for laptops, I would go for Toshiba or Sony, again I don't see many come back for repairs like I do with the others.

It is apparent to me from these Posts and others in other threads that the depth of play common on PBW is far deeper than mine.

How...ummm....intimidating.

Here's an off the wall thought that might speed up blay and possibly improve the game. Why not increase weapon size/power so that you have fewer weapons but stronger in power. That way the only thing that would have to be rebalanced would be armour (again! lol).

Just thinking about that as I got into a fight with 200 Tholian Dreadnoughts vs 250 Klingon Frigate/Destroyer class ships and hit tactical, my mistake! Takes a looong time to watch all those weapons in fast mode, probably would take 24hours in normal mode

Also watching those weapon platforms fire away in fast mode (on planets) takes a loong time too

I'm not sure if this has been done in any mod but it might be interesting to experiment with?

Well, than is the purpose of mounts, right?

I just D/L 172...just how do you all run a game so fast? do you start with all the tech done? or start from the bottom? OR that is all you do play SE4
