Promethean Clan-General Discussions/Announcments

i right click on the planet surface where i want it to go...

You zoom in to the planet you want to send the unit to and click after having loaded your transporter while still having it selected. It takes quite a while because the physics used is semi-real.

It just happened to me again in a game. My commander went out to the middle of nowhere. i didnt however manage to get to the moon of the starting planet.

can you take us through how you load, make the move order or do anything like this?

Just to let you guys know two details before I get a chance to write up our policies.
1) because we are open to under 18's (unlike most other clans) there are certain child protection matters to keep in mind. I want everyone to be aware that no matter how much you 'think' you know someone online you don't in fact know 'them' much at all. So obviously no arranging to meet people you 'know' offline or sharing ANY personal details that include things like your address or telephone number. In fact 'personally' I suggest first names at most unless you feel comfortable with sharing more.
2) IF we setup a website or server I want to make both security and privacy a top priority. In reality you don't know me and I don't know you (which is the case for nearly all of us) . We are getting on our feet so we need to communicate to get to know each other - maybe you will trust me with any such venture if we can assure those things.

We also are likely to use other services or places to meet. Personally I don't do standard irc *ever* with good reason. I do ask people to keep at least point '1' in mind when any such chat goes on.

Think it's important for any such group forming. Child protection is very important these days...

Serious stuff over with.

Also anyone who has joined recently and I have not given them a signature please reply to this to tell me.

This guy.

Does the unit circle the sun/planet? It can take an exceptional amount of time. I do think this will be improved on as this is just the first implementation of interplanetary and the balance isn't quite right yet.

I play on mac so for some reason the sun doesnt register. i think my movement orders are correct and that its a little glitch. Also as a side note do trees register for you guys in game? the ground in my games is usually barren.

So maybe its a Mac build issue. The trees only show up on tropical or earth style planets.

I'm in PA. going to make a tiny tiny planet hoping it won't crash out! ha!

Just had an insane game with murcanic and neofearstar. Went on for over an hour, and we had to call it a draw in the end...
Looking forward to stabler builds when we can get bigger games.

still want a rematch

You're on. Just try not to take another stroll into the middle of my base

hey you wanted metal... thats why you cept stealing mine while i doing battle with green... and i was almost dead so i thought you might want some more... not my fault that you didn't say you didn't want exploded metal...

So the few games I actually managed to get into tonight showed I haven't been playing much... that or spawning between two other teams. Ha!

Don't know about you guys but it's hard to win a game with a shared economy when the other player isn't that experienced. One player thought he could take two commanders and an entire base with his ONE commander. Tried to get him to pull back... So maybe next week I will arrange a few games with you guys. I really am not going to be here or playing until then.

Yeah exactly and also playing with people who can actually play in team games! I need my game time up to get back in the flow.

Do you guys voice chat when you play together? If so, what program do you use?

I haven't been able to find a way to team chat in game.

Not yet, at least not all of us. I know one member uses a few services like TeamSpeak.

We were using Skype last night, and you can team chat with shift+enter.
