very noob question

November 5, 2007 3:54:06 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I'm playing a simple DL game to learn the basics. Researched planetary invasion and built a transport. Sent it off to an enemy planet to invade (no ships present). It goes next to the planet but no further. Says it has no destination when I clearly right-clicked the planet. I think I'm missing something simple but don't know what. Can someone please help?

Are you using a colony ship by mistake? Is the planet in range?

No, it's a transport and I'm pretty sure it's in range. It's just out of range of my fighter but there are no other ships.

This is the primary planet of the other civ. There also was another planet in the same star system and I just tried to invade and it was ok. So, maybe you can't invade the primary if there are others?

Not that i know of.

If your fighter is just out of range then your transport will be as well unless it has more life support modules installed.

Ok, thanks. Just that there was a window that told me my fighter was out of range but no such for the transport.

You should be able to tell your ships range by a square like grey line on the map.

Yeah, I saw that for the fighter and then looked for one for the transport and there wasn't any. That's another reason I thought the transport wasn't out of range. The transport was next to the planet and I right clicked on it. It showed the destination as the planet in the info box. Then I ended the turn. There was no invasion and the transport had no destination. So I ended another turn. Still nothing. Thought it was all kind of strange.

1) Are you sure that there is no ship on the planet? Theer will be a little shielod icon next to the planet if there is.
2) Are you sure that you are selecting your troopship (left click) before you right click on the planet? Sometimes the focus moves away (eg to a miner) without you realising it

There is a shield. Didn't know that was a ship. Actually I never did figure out what all those little icons around the planets are for.

Yea the shield tells you that the planet is defended. So there's your answer. Get that ship and then take the planet. You may want to move the transport away a bit before they go after it.

Thanks, I'll take that other planet. Then get a few more fighters and another transport to take the main one.
