Odd... I will check and see. It might be that I'm listed under my proper name or something.

So, I have to admit...even though I can't save my game, I'm thinking of playing the campaign again to try and get a little further. I saw several intriguing things going on with the ship upgrades and the like that I want to explore some more.

I'm planning on spending a decent amount of time with this game over the weekend...hopefully I will see some of you there! It would be fun to play some multiplayer matches to try it out.

I'm going to have to upgrade my systen before I can even try to play online. It's so choppy on single player it's not even funny. Hopefully once the full version drops they'll activate the options to go lower res and that should help out.
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

Stupid Steam! I can't find your username either. Here, try this:

steamcommunity.com/id/ruckdog

That should take you straight to my profile so you can add me.

Hehe figured out how to change the video settings from their defaults (you have to select custom to enable the drop downs). Computer is still too slow to play it properly :D

I played a bit more tonight, and started in on the single player skirmish. I have to say, it is fun to unlock new ships and upgrades! I got to level 2, which gave me access to my first full-sized cruiser. I promptly bought a Tyrant-class  8).

I went with the Dictator. Why? Because of its nice launch bays. With the way boarding craft goes and boarding, I feel this is the best thing. With one boarding craft I can knock down a Generator, engines, weapons, or any number of other things.

Yeah that's what I've been playing on too. Just hit level 5 so I picked up a Mars. Went Lunar for the first cruiser since it's a classic and Dictator for the second because of the attack craft. I was surprised to see them have the option for assault boats though.

So far I have a Dictator with Favors from the Adaptus Astartes, A Gothic Cruiser with the lance range and damge to shields upgrade, a Mars with no upgrades, saving the renown for more favors.

I finally got it working!  No time to play tonight, but I plan to get on tomorrow.  Any advice for a first time run-through?  Any ideas on ow to get it to go full screen?

yes...go to graphics in the option sections stephan, click Full window or full screen. Enjoy... Now you will have to mess around to get the resolution right.

Tips.... Imperial, go nova cannon once you hit cruisers and BC's.
Chaos Go with the carrier boats. Assualt craft spam wrecks the opposition.

I think both need to be rebalanced to some degree. though I feel that Assualt craft spam more so than the NC. Mainly because NC has a min distance and a 90 degree firing arc. Where as the Assault craft have no min and 360 degree arc.
