By commander515 Review Date: August 4, 2011. Star Ruler, in my opinion, is best summed up as something of a cross between Space Empires 5 and Galactic. A bed for a Cannibal - Rimworld Ice Sheet Tribal Episode 2 Rimworld Beta 18 Ice Sheet Challenge - Duration: 17:29. Pete Complete 353,027 views.
ProgressIt's been two months since launch and we've hit relatively smooth sailing. New features are being added as bugs are struck down and major gameplay additions are popping up in every patch. Exciting additions are on the horizon: race creation, minimaps, and a bunch more we've yet to announce.Star Ruler is our answer to the common 4 X and RTS. Release: Galactic Armory 1.9.2 Less is moreSometimes, less is more. This became evident after we have been receiving lots and lots of reports from players that their game was either repeatedly crashing during gameplay, or not even load at all.After weeks of searching for the cause for this severe issue and with the help of the SR Devs we had been able to narrow this down to being a memory issue.
However, player reports clearly indicated that they did not, in fact, run out of system memory. The main cause for this was running out of video RAM.So in order to significantly reduce the load on RAM and VRAM we decided to cut down on texture resolution where we could. Additionally, we removed the two recolor shipsets (terrakin green and neumon blue) from the main release.
This was especially necessary with the addition of a new, completely original shipset. As a result, the average memory usage should be several hundred MB less without noticeable decrease in visual quality.All of the content we removed from the main release - loading screens, shipsets, high-resolution textures - are available as separate, optional download in our Galactic Armory Optional Resource Pack (GA-ORP). The arrival of a new fleetOne of the main features of this release is the addition of a new original shipset. The models were created by Polarstorm, creator of the Race Evolution mod for Star Ruler. Textures and UV-Mapping were done by XTRMNTR2K.
It is important to note that this shipset had originally been created with a texture resolution of 2048x2048 in mind (regular SR textures are 1024x1024). Sam and max save the world episode 6 walkthrough full. However, the aforementioned memory issues forced us to use 1024x1024 in our main release instead; sadly these don't look as good and crisp as the original textures. If you have a particularly powerful system and lots of VRAM, you can download the Optional Resource Pack and install the high-resolution textures manually. Be warned, however, that these can and will increase memory usage by a huge amount.tl;dr you can enjoy the high-resolution goodness if you want, but don't come whining about frequent game crashes because you are running out of VRAM. Gameplay changesAside from bugfixes, new content, graphical enhancements and minor balance adjustments Galactic Armory 1.9.2 also includes a (hopefully) major change to gameplay. It occured to us that Remnant Jump Bridges weren't really often used by players, mostly because of the fact that they only spawned in otherwise empty systems. This meant their impact on gameplay was negligible.Not anymore!
In order to spice things up somewhat, the spawning method used to place Jump Bridges in the galaxy at game start was altered. Jump Bridges no longer spawn in their own systems, but instead have a chance of appearing in every type of system in the galaxy. This should encourage their use and spawn some interesting tactics.For more information on Jump Bridges, check out the updated ingame Stellarpedia! Thank You!This mod wouldn't have come this far without the help, support and, of course, hard work of a lot of people. Since it would be inevitable that I'd forget to mention at least a few people, I'll keep it general (because YOU know who YOU are!):A 'thank you!' Highest Rated (3 agree)Sorry, this is not an actual 10/10, but a 9/10, deduct that from the following review:P Excellent game, though the battles tend to be extremely long (but that is just how these games are, and that's why there is my friend the 'speed up' button).
I adore customizing, so the ability to blueprint your own ships was what made me buy this game. What i found extremely disappointing though is that the placement of items didn't seem to matter that much. All ships are the same dull model with maybe an extraJan 3 2011 by Subject134127.
