[Atragon]

Yay! More screenshots!

Edit:

What is the context of that armada screenshot? Combat? Cutscene? Other?

And, Is there a mini-map of the galaxy, ie, some way to see the whole galaxy at once?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Mmmmm. Very nice....Thanks Mark!

[H Tower]

the fleet shot almost looks like concept art

and do my eyes decieve me or has the attitude names changed since the last time new screenshots have been released?

[SIZE=1] and do my eyes decieve me or has the attitude names changed since the last time new screenshots have been released?

Neither, if you mean what I think you mean. There are two sets of emphasis (attitude) names, one for sending a new diplomatic message, one for replying to someone else's.

And if that's not what you meant, you may cheerfully ignore me...

Was someone watching "The Fifth Element" when the designed "The Fifth X". Just curious. Loved that movie.

Galactic Leader John Bigbootie

"It's Bigboo-tay! Bigboo-tay!"

5 AUs to the being that can name the movie.

Petty point #394: The planet screen is still costing things in dollars, not AU.

Hong Kong Cavaliers and Yoyodyne Propulsion!

Kudos to both of you. Now if I only had some AUs... can I pay you on November 24th?

H-Tower-

John Bigbootie is a governer listed on a couple of the new screens. I just wondered if anyone else got the reference.

And just so you know, it is pronounced "Bigboo-tay!"

[Carver]

Thanks. Nice defeat screen. Much better than that other game...

System colony ship

In the screeenshot "Planet Build Queue", under Available Items, you can find:
--outpost ship
--colony ship
--system colony ship

Does someone know what is special for SYSTEM COLONY SHIP in comparison with a usual COLONY SHIP ?

I figured it was like Colony Ship vs. Colony Base in MOO2: one is cheaper, but only settles planets in the same system. But I don't really know.
