What's a Blog?

Like the title says, I'd like to open this thread as a place where all former, current and future GC2 players can check in and talk about whatever interests them.

Not to slight those still currently involved with the game but these forums are really just a shadow of what they used to be. To me they were my first introduction into what an online community actually could be. Back in the day a thread was lucky to stay on front page of the most recent 50 posts for more than 15 minutes. Nowadays a post can sit unanswered for many days and still be in the top 50 most recent posts. And that's *with* the inclusion of all the cross-posted forums from other Stardock sites. Imagine how slow things would be without all the Off-topic, Personal Computing and Impulse threads passing through.

But while I do want to catch up with all the fallen GC2 warriors of times gone by, I also realize that time waits for no man and what's gone is gone.

Still I believe that many of the old timers still occasionally lurk these forums looking for something long lost so hopefully this thread will give them a place to stop in and just say hi or to talk about whatever else they feel like.

And for those still playing the game, or those just starting to play the game, or even those that haven't yet started playing the game you can just think of yourselves as future former players and use this thread to put in your own 2 cents as well.

I know I am not of the past but I am the currently holding onto Fifth Place. I am deep into making my ships and playing a little.

@ MarvinKosh, I enjoy it too, being the Underdog like in this game on this map, I have 25 planets in blue and the rest of the 533 planets are grey.

I like the background of the space. It has a different look, is it a mod?

on May 18, 2011

Can't say for sure which one it is, but there are some mods which alter the nebula backdrops.  High Resolution Graphics Mod being one which does.

on May 18, 2011

No mods because I only play Metaverse Games but I have put somethings in GFX folder to change the suns to have solar flares, and sensors are purple. I also adjusted the Nebula density. Yes, I think it was High Resolution Graphics Mod but it has Metverse option in it.

@MarvinKosh, your ship, is it (Red Baron) Chig von something another (Ace of Aces) from Space and Beyond: "Angry Angel". On the side it say "Abandoned all hope" and it has painted on it is human skull and bones.

I just watched last night.

I wouldn't know, I threw it together to try and make the most of one of the Terran light fighter chassis.

I too have been away for awhile, been over at the Sins forums. But had decided to take a break from Sins and play and mod GC2 again.

I've seen Mumble and Motti post recently. I think even the beloved, senescent emperor of the Gerontocracy posted in an MV thread not too long ago.

on Jan 23, 2012

Me Mumble and Motti have all been active in the Tyranny Empire thread of late, Motti and i have even submitted games recently. Good to know there are old timers about still, you most deservedly included GW!

I've never played Metaverse and never will, but as far as the game itself, I still play all three expansions.

on Jan 23, 2012

This "old newbie" still checks in ~weekly.

Never bought TA, but would if they fixed it.

on Jan 23, 2012

Well you wouldn't be able to get it on its own now, it's Ultimate Edition or nothing.

I'm still kicking around but I keep getting sucked in by other games, which means no time for taking over the galaxy.

on Jan 23, 2012

I'm thinking about starting up another immense ToA game soon, but may just start up a large DA game for old times sake.

Good to see some familiar names, Neilo and GW.

 

on Jan 23, 2012

Hey Particle!! Im playing DA still myself for the MV, i only ever used TA for mods. Great to see you drop by!
Marvin, i too hadn't played a game in years, many, many games have kept me from GC2, but as far as TBS strategy goes, still can't beat GC2.
