I dont think it was really ignorance given his follow up comments. It was more of a misspoken statement then anything in my opinion. It was however a perfect opportunity for Craig to plug the GBR but I guess time was limited and with the pressure and all that jazz going on both of them simply went with the flow.

Might as well post this here. Gamespot posted its own preview of Entrenchment. Along with several quite yummy screenshots, it also announced new units:

"To balance out the incredible defensive advantages of a star base, Iron Clad has added several new offensive superweapon units. The TEC, for example, has access to the Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser that is designed to be a giant missile silo in space. It fires a pair of slow-moving nuclear missiles that cause immense damage to enemy structures. The Ogrov has tremendous range, so one strategy is to take out defense turrets from distance, forcing the enemy to engage outside the protection of its turrets. Of course, you have your fleet waiting to pick off these foolhardy frigates."

If the screenshot caption from Gamespot is to be believed, the thing on the splash screen in the above video is the Ogrov. Basically a torpedo launcher with engines

I'm pretty sure the article will get its own topic, so I save my comments for the proper place. for a sneak peak: awesome!

Yeah, I just didn't want to make Yarlen and Zoomba cry because they're always way late posting this stuff

lol. someone else created a topic. it says there is a gameplay video in it (which I obviously missed). checking it out now and am curious whether its new stuff or made up from previous footage, as for example the interview shots.

I guess ID doesn't want them crying, either. But he's a Stardock guy too

It's a different video, but still only TEC, so same stuff. More things going boom, though!

And that my friend is always a good thing - no?

Anyone want to speculate on what the 3rd one will be? Here my guess: Removing all or most of the hardcoded limits that remain, and the race stalking the vasari.

does this mean the "N" hotkey for enable twist view will be back?  It's only in dev.exe.

How about a campaign/editor?  Yup, I'm pushing negative karma territory asking for this -and the ability to set a player start point.

The is (well, was for the beta) a program made in Game maker that allowed you to place planets where you wanted and it would make a Galaxy file for you. I don't know if it's still around or if it works with the current version.
