Why can't I build ships?

July 25, 2006 7:13 PM from

Every time I've tried to play, i can only buy ships at the planet in order to produce them even after having a starport and factories built...the build queue for the ship still says never for progress...is this a bug?

What is your military slider set at (in the economics screen where you set the tax rate, overall spending rate, etc...)? "Military" spending really means "ship building".

^ Exactly. If your military spending is on 0 you will never build ships, it took me a while to figure that out too.

I remember in the first galactic civilizations, a similar thing happened to me. The problem was that I went so far into debt that I couldn't spend money on anything, including ship construction.
