That's probably just the build ETA display widget's calculation being a bit off. I doubt there's a bug or that excess buildpower really speeds up anything. I'm pretty sure your tests are flawed. :]
USrankTheDarkStar

It might be. Caretakers = to metal income (if you have enough e) get it done fastest. It gets progressively slower for every extra assisting unit.
USrankAntelope

How? That sounds more like a bug than a feature.
USrankTheDarkStar

We need an economy guide that shows how excess assisting lowers build time (it does, try it sometime).
USrankAntelope

Economy is part of learning. I frequently see newbies with 10 Caretakers surrounding a single lab while they've got +10 metal income.

It would ruin the "how to play" part, Seto. Giving people free resources could make them believe that this is how the game works. That's very very very very bad for new players.
USrankSetokaiva

If I might make a suggestion... in order to expedite unit testing or whatever people want to do, why not give them a singularity reactor to start with somewhere and some supermexes? Or at least make all the mexes on map supermexes and turn wind up super high. Its a little annoying to have to build up your econ first before you can start to get units across factories let alone any big units or mechs like Detriment. This would slash the time people have to spend doing anything but testing dramatically and improve the overall quality of this popular mission.

Talking about the speed, I know why you call yourself Antelope now ;)
but you don't have any antelopes in America, (do you?), so where are you originally from? Or what is the reason that you like them?


And as to Nightmare, my enemy fear me ^^, that's why I am Nightmare.

Hello Qwerty_CZ! I'm going to guess that one day you overdosed on massive amounts of speed and went on a 5-day-long gatecamp binge in nullsec. At the height of the binge, for a brief moment, you could see the code, and could make all enemy shots stand still. Then the crash began.

The controls of your Maelstrom didn't make sense anymore. The speed was wearing off, and you were crashing hard. You had flow too close to the sun. You pounded angrily at the keyboard in anger before passing out.

While you were sleeping, you dreamt horrible nightmares of keyboard keys flying at you, zooming around you, firing missiles, drones, and lasers at you.

Three days later you awoke in the hospital a changed man.

Hello Antelope, your name sounds like loping antenna, which is harder to imagine than Antelope with an antenna. Or did you just misspeled An telephone? Not sure...

Now I am kind of sad that I have such a mainstream nickname :(
Anyway, there is a story related to origin of it, and I am sure, you will come up with something. ;)

With respect
Qwerty



btw: My full nickname is "Qwerty Nightmare" (guess why :P) and I kind of like any name/(nickname/word) starting with A.

Hello PowerJan. Welcome to our fine game.

I believe your name is Janet or Janice, and you work for an energy company, hence the handle "PowerJan".

Do you enjoy providing electrical power for people all over your area? Does it feel better playing games on your computer when you know that you are making the electricity to power those games?

I make soap for a living. Whenever I wash my dishes and they come out of the machine sparkling clean, it makes me feel good.

When using ZKLobby, try "Lowest" in the SETTINGS tab. Ingame press ESC and click the red wrench, there should be settings too. Try lowering things there.

Maybe try using the following commands ingame to disable some things:
/advunitshading
/advmapshading
/dynamicsun

Yay, and don't forget updating your graphics driver if possible, maybe search through the forum, there might be help there. If nothing helps, feel free to open a thread and ask for advice.

Leyvaten: Das bedeutet, dass die Engine (Spring) abgeschmiert (crashed) ist. Den Grund dafür gilt es jetzt herauszufinden, falls du das noch nicht geschaft hast (du hast das Problem vor drei Tagen erwähnt, allerdings erst vor zwei Tagen eine Runde gespielt). Ich schlage vor, dass du im Chat nach Hilfe fragst, falls das Problem weiterhin besteht.

Oh unfortunately linux lobbies do not support these commands yet :(
So starting mission would involve downloading mision into mods and downloading script and starting spring with path to script as parameter. But its not worth of effort in this case because this mission is basically empty map :-)

Easiest way to play single player skirmish on linux is opening a battle in lobby and adding bot AI (CAI or Chickens)
