GW...so cynical.  Who would ever think such things?  Oops.

If you don't want to destroy a colony, then why not invade it?

@djcityscapes; you should read my post again, you misunderstood it.

@tesb; In the colony's screen, under the list of improvements is a button called 'details' press it and you should find an option to destroy your colony.

You can destroy all colonies that way; even the ones with galactic achievements and trade goods upon them.

That's interesting since we can't decommission them individually.

I thought I was playing on the highest Intelligency but never had AI do that and that would blow my mind.  

What about OoM bug error? Play three turns and then get a OoM at the end of the turn when saving. Rinse and repeat.

I have no idea why my last post turned out like that. I can't seem to edit it in a manner to fix it.

So true

Please fix the Secret Police Center. As it is now, it is totally unuseable. We want happy people!

There are also a number of other Supers/Wonders were I doubt their actual usefullness.

Not sure I remember all now, but this Galactic Guide Book is one of it. It'll save you 45mp per SurveyShip after been built. Wow, I mean, how many SurveyShips do you have to built to even get your cost back from the build of said Wonder, 9 ships!!! Plus, by the time you'll have this Wonder no anomalies will be found in the galaxy anymore... It's actually one of the first thing everybody does to get Surveyors en route - be they cheap or expensive. Maybe this wonder could simply enable all ships (regardless of any module) to explore anomalies.

The Temples of Good/Evil are worthless, but utterly expensive. Trade is just very limited, and comes to halt almost always when the conquest begins.

And some of the descriptions of Wonders/Supers/Trade Goods could be be written better. Especially among new players (your probable future GalCiv3-clients) there is often confusing as to when such a building will bring a civ-wide or only planetary-wide bonus, the Omega Research Center is such an example. I think those texts could be easily fixed. The ASC's is vague - it's like buying a cat in a bag.....

Providing a drop-down or pop-up selector for the sort order of the Planet/Ship List (as I previously described in this post: https://forums.galciv2.com/373686) would seem to be a minor change that would be a nice improvement to the UI.  Granted, I've only recently begun playing this game, so there may be far more important things that people who have logged countless hours of playtime would request, but in my short time with the game, clicking through the 30-or-so sort options to find the one I want is one thing that has jumped out at me as being an annoyance.

I don't know much about how the game is coded. But a game like this still having display bugs really irks me.

1: Fix the displayed values, if a bonus is listed as a %, then it better be a %. Many bonuses, like sensor range, engine speed and trade routes should be displayed as an absolute bonus, but are not. This fix should apply to the tech tree notes, building bonuses, planet details tab and race summary tabs.

2: Hardcoded different rules for AI and human players (regardless of difficulty) : https://forums.galciv2.com/361996

"Automated survey human flagships are not affected by fog of war."

 

3: Fix the summary tab - currently it does not display bonuses from random events, morale events, moons and such making it pretty useless for evaluating your production and research. You have to go to the planet details screen in order to view them.

4: Keep the ethical random events (from colonising a planet), even after choosing an alignment (researching Xeno Ethics)

5: Reduce micromanagment by fixing the rush buy costs (it should never be cheaper, overall to pay in installments)

https://www.galciv.wikia.com/wiki/Rushbuy_costs

(Currently is is cheaper to use Terran Manufacturing if remaining production is 28 units or less)

6: Don't make colonies pay for wasted resources (assuming this is still true)

https://www.galciv.wikia.com/wiki/Military_production

"Excess military production (production over price of the ship - e.g. ship costs 40MP, planet produces 200MPs, so excess is 160MP) is lost, but player still PAYS for it."

7:Fog of war not reforming

https://forums.galciv2.com/362185/get;2354998

8: release a summary of how tech depreciation actually works, there have been many threads guessing this - but there is no consensus.

I don't think I would use that feature.   The developer would have to find not just the closest starbase, but the closest starbase that has upgrades available.  Plus you have to count the # of constructors already headed there.    And the worst part:   it has to have upgrades available that I am actually interested in.   How is the developer ever going to know?

It would be great if it would be possible to limit your own space only to friends. I mean that you could choose whom would be able to enter your space without problems. So you could close your space for anyone else than your Ally.
