Suralle

Well, the scores for each game are the same. The average is what you get for a total. For example look at Suralle. Lots of games, almost all above normal so a "bonus" in score is probably there. But his ranking is only in the 30's. Link Suralles the king of bling though! As far as players old scores. No we should not delete them if they have been gone forever even. I mean, lets look back

Bump, Every one of my planets had this bug today. Has to be a wire crossed between planet quality selection in the ability area and using neutral bonus early in the by researching the xeno ethics and getting all the tiles. Which brings up the other shortage... neutal gets no added defenses or weapons, yet its still mentioned. And now the tile shortage... Someone please take a peak at this. Makes it hard playing neutral, doable still, but harder than if I flip

I dunno, the only thing I see MV wise that needs to be done is the total recalculation, not just partial. The score I had was hurt hard by the recalculation as I had only a couple of the betas that were not counted in, as I keep up with the changes to the game, whether I like them or not. I second the lets get the rest of the games recalculated. Thirdly would some kind soul take a look at the bonuses being applied to the above normal scores. Thanks W/R<br/

Bump + add... No kidding, I just researched Ultimate Mini Tech and actually lost a size overall! My large cruiser went up to 110 but with everything I had on it... it now is rated at 111, or 1 over! Comon dev, I have said this before in other posts awhile back. Someone needs to take a serious whack at mini techs. To spend 10 weeks researching ultimate and lose a spot overall is not satisfactory its frustrating. Overall all 1.2 beta 11 is doing fine

do yoou get new symbols after each new game.and hows the ranking system work The bling under folks comments are from various awards that you can find in the legend area of this website. Additionally it is good to note that you have to designate your character as the default character. Hope that helps. Good Hunting,

Speed matters a lot, yes. But +1 speed doesn't matter much when your ships have 10-20 speed anyway Totally concur, torwards the portion of the game when I can and are typically able to build these wonders I simply don't bother as I already have two or three small hyperwarp drives giving me 13 to 20 speed as it is.

I take mass drivers after beam, don't know why, just do. I feel that the nano ripper has got a really bum rap in the past. The cost in maintenance should have equal'd out to the power down of the weapon at 6 but hey, not my call. So I think I will just leave this one alone passed this point, as any more would be a rant on top of a rant. W/R Suralle

As a point of interest, I have a working Dell 610 with 32MB of video ram. I disable quite a bit of the video extras and run the game pretty clean. Once in a great while I will get some jerkiness but it cleans itself up (pretty sure its page swapping in the HD) usually when I am ship designing. I remember that "Frogboy" stated he was running GC2 on a very similar laptop, as mine. Not sure of exact specs. I use Omegas drivers vice ATI though so that may help but I doubt it. <br

I'd say that in essence reloading is cheating. At the very least it's cheesy Depends on the situation. For example, the other night I had to make a beer run. Stepdaughter wanted to get online and do the IM / Myspace thing. She saved game, did her thing, opened game and reloaded the game exactly where I was. As I was none the wiser... you gu

Well, the obvious thing, well at least for me anyways, was to play shorter duration MV games and post them if I didn't have to reload. Well, good news. Last two games were won. Scores went up and no cheat code flags. If your a MV junkie like me. Play shorter duration games for now. If your not, than good hunting and I hope your platform in beta is a bit more stable than mine. W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

Found the reason for this and fixed it "Sound the fanfare!" Althought I should let you know that it was an 89 to 1 kill ratio today. Perhaps we should start working on the ground pounders next for the same reason as the fleet. Remember "Fleet does the flying, marines do the dying." W/R Suralle

Sounds like another way for espionage to work in my mind. I to have noticed that when I have at excess amount of cash in a game I see yellow and green back and forth. I tend to take it as a warning though and drop the tax rate a bit if at all possible. Maybe its not a bug but more of a feature? W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

Not the save portion that gets ya. Its the reload. Awhile back when folks reloaded a saved game somehow the game doubled all the ability scores if you were playing a metaverse game if I remember right. So instead of 25% soldiering skill... you end up with a 50% bonus. Well a few reloads and your a freaking god playing on suicide... So, cheat scores were enabled. Than... At another time it was noted that some races automatically put you into the red when you chose them

Suralle, so you're saying if you have a 8 ship fleet vs an AI 4 ship fleet, only 4 of your ships would fire, not 8? Please check your ships that are not firing to make sure they have weapons. If they don't, they will not fire. If they do have weapons, could you please send your saved game to [email protected]? Thanks. Also, I am sayi

I uh don't do any of those. I wait true, but its almost last minute, nothing but colony ships and constructors. When I play tech trade on or off. Most of the time I don't do military until the same nation asks for a bribe twice. Than I check their military stats and make whatever I happen to have as the best weapon tech and defense tech, as I am usually at impulse 3 by this time I slap on a drive unit also. 2 - Heavy fighters first than a medium for each planet. I keep doing my t

Personally, I have been posting scores on this 'verse since it was allowed here. So, my question is. Now that I have totally deleted (uninstalled from SDC) totally deleted mygame subdirectory, than reinstalled the entire 1.2 beta.. Can I start posting valid scores again with games that I will be starting tonight and saving? Or will it be more like this last weekend. "Suralle, could you run to the Farm Fresh and get more of that Terran Ale we love so

The request for the fix was an honest request based on data presented in a decent format. For the neigh sayers, please remember that for every one person who asks for something another dozen have thought of it but are to afraid to ask. I personally have seen some outrageous requests made by many more other folks in these forums. If you feel that the request for the item to be changed is not worthy of time perhaps you should suggest things in a more orderly fashion that you feel sho

Espionage screen will show their technologies if you have spent enough cash and have the right levels. and/or If you have technology trade enabled (startup screen) by opening a dialog with the race from the "diplomacy" screen will show their techs available for trade.

All things being not equal the best advantage a racial trait can be is the population trait. Especially in the start of the game, helps additionally in the invasion arena also. More folks more taxes. The Thalen probably excel in this area, PQ 15 planet with 20% population breeding bonus. Probably one of my more used customized races besides the Pryde. W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

Espionage should affect the following: 1) Price on buying off another race to start a war, after all, you know whos who and who votes which way. 2) Knowing what vote is coming up in the UP, not when - thats simple, what. 3) Affecting income, yours and their, successful spy attempts should net money, influence points, and/or techs not just techs. 4) A better chance at intercepting those infrequent random events, such as these colonists are in a drought or this mining col

(please sing aloud to the famous song styling of "C.W. McCall" in the immortal song of "Convoy") Starbases to the left, starbases to the right, I didn't have nowhere to build. They had them bases built clean to the planet and some of them bases were space savers to boot. Military in f ront, economy to the right, influence in a few... Well anyways, a song writer I am not, I am an avid reader though and I know I have read that starbases shall not be built withi

Still learning some of the buttons and navigation. Cut some fellahs a break and be a bit more detailed when you wish to provide learning for some of us old sea dawgs. Thanks! W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

Yes, I "two" had MV score problems this weekend. One was on a win with the Altarian of all races, noted that I was a cheater on it, and you all know how hard it is for me to conclude a game on gigantic, why would I ever want to have a cheat score on top of it... Second was a win with the your friendly Drengin, this time the posting had an error 16 (not sure) so checked serial number, got email, changed serial, attempted to post score got an error 12 (different serial number than MV).

Where to start, New combat works well both ways in that my ships around or in orbit around planets are definitely tougher. So are theirs, however I still achieved a 8 to 1 kill ratio despite the flaw in the new combat. In that it seems that at a majority of the times when I can not finish off a fleet I am attacking in the first round not all of my ships can fire in the second round or subsequent rounds. However, I have noted that I get to fire exactly the same amount of ships that
