Pete, you were right.

The Article

Look at what happened to my old post on the old RBD forum (and many other posts too, if you care to look for them): http://www.network54.com/Forum/message?for...geid=1087003483

There is a hypertext link in the post that wasn't there before. It is a sponsored link to a D2 site, and it has apparently been automatically inserted in place of the word "Diablo" in all posts that have that word. To me this crosses the line from ridiculous to absurd. I'm not sure if it is worth writing grumpy mail to N54 about it, because it seems obvious that they are going in the wrong direction in terms of anything resembling a useful service.

OK; my unarmed colony ship and unarmed scout arrive at Reticuli on the same turn0 as a Darlok warp 1 laser fighter. He kills the scout, but I manage to run out the clock before he can kill my colony ship.

After combat, my colony ship is still at the colony (in retreat), but now Reticuli is a DARLOK colony with 0 population, even though he had no colony ship there!

This really, really screws me, since the Darloks get a free colony at a planet that should have been mine, and I only have range 4 and can no longer reach Pollus, the Arid in the northeast corner of the map. I can't take the planet back without triggering wholesale war, which would just destroy me.

What to do?

The amazing thing is that my first night on broadband, I spent about 40 mins playing Descent and about 9 hours shooting the breeze with old friends and acquaintances. (I can chat faster! Yay!

Can you believe they managed to bring fiber optics to my county, finally?

I thought I would share these pictures because most of us have never seen fireworks from above.





This picture got the hotel all lit up to give you a view of the location, and a sense of perspective. I was hoping the firework would have started earlier when I had a nice sunset backdrop. Hehe, I spent most of my time at work trying to think of a good location to shoot and figuring out my exposure problems.





Enjoy!

What are the racial reaction modifers between the races in Orion 1? You know, how one race reacts initally toward the other.

Also, Does anyone have the table on the various races and their research level modifiers. Some races are stronger than others in certain fields.

Thanks,

Herb

Dunno if it's the same one from a few years back...and I don't remember that one. Ha!
