Can someone make a preview of formations in EB?

What?

I think he wants pretty pictures of the Bartix armada in formation. I'm sure Blank can drum something up. Or possibly a non-EB formation will do.

What's that link dude? Man you scared the s..t out of me! What is that? Asimov's vision on The New Intergalactic Roman Empire in 10000 ad?

Ask bootsiuv, he seems to be a fan.

It's a... multitude... of ships in a variety of formations. It's made in a modded version of the beta of Sins of a Solar Empire. The normal fleet scales are 1-10 capital ships and/or 10-90 smaller ones, but this Multianna tested how much the game engine could take before breaking down. It didn't break down per se, however it became something below 1 frame per second when going over 20000 ships so the limit is somewhat less than that

.

I preordered the game a couple days ago and got access to the beta. Its AI is really poor yet, but the multiplayer is quite nice already (now if only I got a stable internet connection I'd be set

). If you want to join too, you need to use Stardock's TotalGaming tokens to avoid waiting for release in february, mind. It's 30% cheaper that way too, at 50$ money or 35$ worth of tokens. Buy 10 tokens and get this along with Galactic Civilizations II, for instance.

This old preview may help a little.

Hmm, beta4 released today. Might be nice

No, no, it wasn't nice. The races will be nearly identical, big disappointment. Still, it plays well enough in its Warcraft2-like way. AI sucks yet though, but knowing Stardock that will be fixed at some point, and multiplayer is good.

Wow way to hijack this thread Bovi.

As mentioned in the other thread he started about it, it was because there was no need for a preview of formations, seeing as it's released, and I apologized. It was at first merely a joke, but it sort of grew into a hijack. Since he hasn't got a use for it anymore, I went ahead and kept it. Won't post anything more here though.
