in the first screenshot, is that a statue of two people on top of the hill?

[Necronomitr0n]

yeah, it's supposed to represent the unification of 2 factions or something

[Sheepy]

That's the Ranger Unification Monument.

are these from that massive 2800 person battle that happened last night?

[Sinitron]

no, i wasn't there

the battle was happening in northern low-sec, while me and my alliance were roaming southern null-sec

our initial plan was to head north and cut off any stragglers or late-comers and feed off the whole thing like vultures

however we ended up getting in a fight of our own with a numerically superior fleet that was heading north to reinforce their allies

although we shattered the hostile fleet and forced them to retreat (ie they left their buddies to die), we sustained heavy losses to our support vessels

without sufficient logistics ships, several electronic warfare ships down and my own DPS-battlecruiser blown to pieces, the remainder of the fleet chose to loot what they could and stand down for the night

it was still a much more fun battle than anything happening up north though, as we got a nice and clean lag-free engagement with 'good fights' from everyone in local

more than can be said for the fuckfest the goons initiated with heavy macro spam in their local channel LOL

So I played the SimCity Beta over the weekend. Idk when the NDA expires but since the Beta's over I thought I'd share. I played the 1-hour beta three times, getting progressively better.

The first thing I did was mess around with the new curvy road tool...

...it wasn't without its bugs...


...but it's still really fun


It was my first playthrough so I didn't get very far


My second city was better


...but I spent so much time on the layout that I forgot to pay attention to healthcare


So for my last city I just went with the time saving grid. What's neat is that nearly everything you place down can be upgraded, including the City Hall, which I hadn't planned for in the layout


Certain expansions, like say extra garages for your firetrucks, can even be across the street on separate lots.


I placed my PD in the commercial district next to the gambling den, and the FD in the industrial district. They can respond to anything on the whole map, but the less squad cars/firetrucks you have the more strained they'll be to patrol the area, or even put out fires/stop crime if they're overwhelmed. And of course, if they're really far away they could get stuck in traffic


Something that was really interesting that I didn't get to explore much is the concept of specializing your cities. You could make a mining town, a high-tech industry town, commerce town etc. but the only thing in the beta was making it a gambling town. It took forever for my gambling den to turn a profit and I can't imagine anyone unlocking the upgraded Casino within an hour of play

you can build houses on those underwater streets, too. it's pretty funny

I started a rom hack of Earthbound sometime last year and just recently looked back into it. Made a few edits and might go back to work with it.



So far it's really just the same game with the main character sprites changed by me, slight map modifications, and text. Don't know where exactly to go with this, but it's all subject to change.
