[QUOTE=thisguy123;40969020]What would be Neat is if you could find Incredibly powerful super unit type things as ancient constructs left behind from a previous war that you could re-activate and use.
This would provide an almost risk/reward type secnario.
Do you spend resources scouting the galaxy for these superweapons or bolster your current position.
And once you FIND one do you have enough time and resources to get it working again? And what happens if you use it and find your enemy was building up a much bigger traditional army and your efforts were wasted?
Or you could just faceroll them with the cool as fuck gigantic ancient tech robot.[/QUOTE]
Too random imo. If the position of the thing is determined randomly, then you can dedicate massive amounts of resources to find it but you opponent still lucks out and finds it first.

It would be cool if those units were [I]accidently[/I] extremely similar to SupCom and TA experimentals.
I still haven't gotten my Alpha key. :saddowns:

They've said all of the alpha keys are out, did you back $90+? If so, check your junk mail/spam, and if its not there you may have to confirm your email address still, I had to. If you go onto the uberent store, log in and go to my account, edit your contact details if it says your email account isnt verified. (to verify it you just need to click edit and then save it and it should be fine).

*cough* relics from ARM and/or CORE *cough*
Super-powered Krogoths
Has anyone else had an issue where the game basically pauses? I was able to move the camera and I could select things, but my resources weren't changing and nothing moved.
Some new units will arrive apperently and a unit cannon to shoot units to moons etc.

Check this out and you should be able to find if it you don't have it, they've said that all the keys have now been sent out so you'll have it one way or another.

Man, the two games I've played have ended with my units not responding to any commands or having an extremely delayed reaction to them.
Pretty sad, I really want to kick the shit out of some AI.
Can't wait to see some larger scale battles between planets.. all in due time!
so it's on steam early access
for 67 pounds
are you shitting me
Wow $90 on steam for early access, are you kidding?
seriously what the fuck are they doing
I swear only in the entertainment industry do you pay more for something that ISN'T FINISHED and WON'T WORK PROPERLY
[QUOTE=KorJax;41021793]Wow $90 on steam for early access, are you kidding?[/QUOTE]
Well it costs that much to buy it from them direct for early access so....
Well that's a massive disappointment
i'm sorry what
they got a shitload of money from kickstarter already
$90 how in the what
I would assume that beta access will be cheaper, so if you want to wait for it instead(as I will since I only kickstarted for beta access).
[QUOTE] Our pricing for this stage of early access was determined by our Kickstarter. The stages of our early access for ALL users, which was determined during our Kickstarter, is:
June through August: $90 for early alpha access, during the time where we're still locking down features and making tweaks to the flow of the game.
September through November: $60 for beta access. The game will be much more complete at this time, but with a lot of balance work still to do and more optimizations to get it working on as many systems as possible.
Retail: December 2013
This is the pricing determined over a year ago. Our Kickstarter set these levels, and while we understand people may not like it, it's the decision we had to make.
But that is the schedule if you want to wait until the price drops to a level you're more comfortable with.

This way it is only fair for the kickstarter backers.
The rage from people is ridiculous.
i'm sorry but this is different
you pay on kickstarter not to play, but to fund game development, the "alpha/beta/whatever access" is just a nice bonus
you pay on steam to play the fucking game (hence the unfinished category on steam, it was added so you can PLAY THOSE GAMES ALREADY, not fund their development)
they should've just add it to steam and give backers steam keys
Are you guys fucking stupid?
Its in [B]ALPHA![/B] That means its still dealing with bugs with its basic gameplay, it's still currently having difficulty with its pathfinder for units. The Alpha is more of a privledge and a way for Uber Ent. to fix bugs and add more components to the game so that it can be ready for beta, if you only want the game then buy it for $40 through their store.
The reason its $90 for the Alpha is so only the most dedicated players will fix it, if people who only wanted the game got access to the Alpha, they wouldn't help the developer by reporting bugs, all they would do is complain.
....or atleast wait for the beta when all the core gameplay is there, but if you're going to complain because a game costs so much in [I]alpha[/I] then wait till it comes out in December.

Steam early access is the same. It also helps fund game development.
It would be unfair on the people who paid for it on kickstarter to get shafted like this. If you want it be cheaper, then wait for it to be released in December, when should be be its cheapest.

Calm down man, it is understandable that they would want to give more people access to the Alpha and gain some profit for it.
I agree that 90 bucks is a lot for very early access but one has to really think through as to why he would do something like that UNLESS he wants to contribute.
There will certainly be lower prices for the betas and other test versions, so you can just let it slide by.
Alpha access is not just a "nice bonus"
A lot of people paid that much [I]because[/I] they would get alpha access, maybe there are some people who just paid to support the devs, but most people aren't just going to do that - they needed a reason to pay that much, that's why alpha access was there.
Think about it, if you payed to support this game why would you want people who didn't to get the same perks as you for cheaper?
lmao you guys, they've stressed so many times that the game wasn't finished, what did you expect? some insane carrot pricing? They don't want a rush of people buying the game.
I'm not angry, I just don't understand them
KSP is in alpha stage too, and it's cheaper than average game
Minecraft was cheap in alpha too
Also more people = more bug reports
Where either of those crowd-funded on Kickstarter?
Hey quick question, when do I actually get my key? I'm just a bit worried I wont get one is all.

Put it this way: they wouldn't have had an alpha access progam if they had funded the game any other way. If you want alpha access, you're asked to help fund the project. It's a different model, easy enough to understand. I backed for a copy of the game once it's released, so I'm waiting for just that.
The people who backed already is the point. It's not that hard to understand i[I]t wouldn't be fair to the alpha buyers[/I] if they did this.
It's expensive so the people who invested in it probably want to help development so they will give detailed bug reports. There are plenty of people who "bug report" who report vague issues, or who report things that aren't even being worked on till later. And then there's plenty of people who would buy into alpha looking for a "game" and don't give 2 shits about providing feedback.

the thing is KSP actually works really well
I still have my CO randomly exploding and units sinking into the ground. KSP is at a [b] WAY [/b] more playable stage than PA, and in my opinion they are totally justified for the price of the game as is. They'll want to filter who actually wants to work with the game, to the people who want to play it early.
I love how anyone who makes a comment about the price gets a load of dumbs.
Are any of you seriously paying 90 USD to play early? You know if you wait... you can pay less..? like, a lot less?
Arma 3 has cost more money and resources to develop and its 30 for Early Access.
I understand the Wants to help vs Wants to play aspect, but that's absurd requiring more money to HELP the game development. Use a screening process, don't screw people of their money.
Though i'm sure the people who pay now will get all these fancy dancy features and expansions that the rest of us will have to pay for.
