After discovering this potential error, I decided to check the stats of other defense systems and I ran across this additional possible error:
Droid Sentries II and Droid Sentries III have identical cost, size and point defense values. Again this is in v1.2.

Well spotted, I noted and posted about the Droid Sentries a while ago...

I posted a follow up post as well about them when the 1.2 patch was in beta...

Either I'm unlucky or it is not important enough for a fix. What I suggest is that you edit this file... (mine is found in D:\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Data\English)
GC2Types.xml (making a backup of the original first)
and then edit the values that you wish to change. Check it out afterwards in the Galactopedia to see if those values have been entered correctly, if you wish.

The Droid Sentries entries look like (this is for level 2)....


DroidSentries2

100

Droid Sentries II
Missile defense.
pointDefense0

Point Defense
Droid Sentries II
Defense.x



The forum isn't displaying the above Droid Sentry entry in its correct form - ah well.


I can't remember now but there are some other defence / weapon values that don't seem to be correct but they too can be adjusted in that file.

Good luck

This is from my GC2types.xml, referring to the tri-strontium armor:

TriStrontium
A

70

Tri-Strontium Armor

TriStrontium2
A

Tri-Strontium Armor II


Someone goofed! LOL....but it can be fixed..

As for the Droid Sentries, here are the entries for type II and Type III that are in my xml file:

DroidSentries2
PD
4
2
100
6
Droid Sentries II

DroidSentries3

Droid Sentries III

Guess that one slipped by..lol. Easy enough to fix though.

I like to think of it as if all my little researchers are greedy

Greed is good.....lol

Maybe they have different sizemods. Try looking at them on different hull sizes.

But while we're at it, I'd point out that the second to the last beam weapon technology gives you literally nothing (and the one before it sucks so bad that most people assume it's a mistake, too). I'd like to see Subspace Blasters fixed and Subspace Annihilators added before the defenses get fixed, since the defenses are much cheaper to research.

I think we're "hooped"!  

Railgun Mk V and Railgun Mk VI both have the same tech requirement, and are identical in cost, damage and sizemod.

I also just noticed that in the Beam Technology, that Subspace Blasters is actually Less damage then Plasma III. But Subspace is more expensive. DOH.

And you guys still continue to play with all these errors? I gave up on GacCivII untill the expansion comes out. Til then,and even at the same time, I play Space Empires IV. It's from 2000 so the graphics are less advanced but the game play and choices are awesome!

Space Empires V will be released towards the end of 2006.
