Any Easter Eggs in GalCiv2?

The Restaurant of Eternity GA seems to pay tribute to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.  The 2nd book is named the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and in this place you can experience what eternity is like.

Have you researched Tech Victory yet?

Not yet.  Let me guess, is the answer "42"?

This one may seem pretty obvious but i've always thought the Terran flagship has a striking resemblence to the Enterprise.

There are a number of easter eggs when you research tech - my favourite being the building a castle on a swamp routine from Holy Grail in one of the terraforming techs.

Some of the names of stars can be references - Hoth from Star Wars for example. I'm always very careful around the Antares system incase I wake something up and I kinda expect an insanely powerful precursor ship to be guarding a juicy planet in the Orion system.

Oh my god, it's full of Stars. - 2001, A space odyssey.

- If you click on the planet "image" on the top left corner in the surface screens, you can spin it , zoom in, etc.

- The bottom map corner unselectable & static ship still boggles me, though.

- Plenty of other hidden "funny stuff" & unexpected not mentioned elsewhere...
