Hey guys I was wondering. What is your method of defeating the asteroids?

Mine is to combine 10 or more ships with a dreadnought and to have my Strikecraft destroy them before they get close, if they do get in range all enemy ships are of secondary priority.

The game is based about expanding but with asteroids it makes the job a lot trickier, which I don't mind.

Anyway, keep up the awesome work you guys, love the mod :D

im trying to figure out if there is a limit to the length a video can be if it is not directly uploaded .. if soase-maelstrom url uploaded i could make the videos a bit longer and more exciting (adding a title and some other special tricks :3).

"im trying to figure out if there is a limit to the length a video can be if it is not directly uploaded " ... can't really give advise on specifics. My suggestion would be to look at other mods and how long their videos are. The resolution of the video is an issue that would be equally as important as its length.

There are numerous compress formats (of which mp4 is one of) and also compression settings within the format. I noticed also that modDB re-processes the video also, that is before release

That is if you upload it from your pc im saying if you select url upload you can basically just link it the site and its faster to upload as well as play.
