"Thats not a moon its a freaking space station!" We have all heard that before but the reality has sunk into me since I finally nailed down the design of my General Cargo Vessel Mk 1 (Altarian Appearance). I was thinking to myself... damn I have put three runways basically down on the ship. Huge wings, walk ways, etc etc. How big is this thing... A US CVN is typically (at its extreme dimensions), 1100 feet long, 250 feet wide, 40 feet high and weights in at a respecti

Recommend going to the Stardock Website and register your game with an appropriate email address. Thank d/l the StarDock Central stuff, install, run, check game and registration information (located in the bottom right of the screeen) have updated registration data sent to email address. If all else fails, stay in SDC and go to chat, log in and go to /Join #galciv Ask around there for help and look for an entity named Milksama. That person helped me a couple of times when I w

Gotta tell ya, I see the precursor mine (spider web) all the time, sometimes on my planets, mostly on conquered ones that turn into my planets. I have seen the golden mountains also, (300% research) again the same, more on conquered planets than on mine. Once though in my memory of my games I started out with 1 700% precursor mine, 1 300% mine, 1 100% mine, 1 300% research tile, 1 100% research tile, 1 300% food tile, 1 100% food tile, 1 - 100% entertainment tile. Course I

Actually I got 4 rangers in the space of one year the other day. You know what they say "Better lucky than good!" On that note though, the first time one of the other races found some corvettes the game went CTD! Yes I forwarded results to SD for review. Yes, I used the rangers as planetary defense, as my ships were already more powerful due to allied trades. I see pirates every game also, although they are not as obtrusive as before, but I have the lucky butto

Well besides rule of handshake and word of mouth, my division isn't really known by the rest of the company... which is good in the fact that we normally work on upper end telecommunications systems for the DoD and I actually find working in the civilian area of installation to be a bit tedious with permits and extra paperwork. Basically I dunno about adds in gaming magazines anymore. I guess I believe that if folks are actually reading CGW and others that they probably own a compute

Are the s'kra next? =P Only if the Torians ever die off. I am past my two years of work and play at that other place, so story writing may continue I hope.... W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

Try going to Stardock Central also. The update/download page there can resend your registration codes so that your current to the account email you set up. It really is a sweet deal, once you have SDC running correctly, as I to have had to re-enter my registration data (which changes with patches for some reason.) W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

Are we not sure the minor is being paid off to attack you? I believe I read that 1.11 folks were going to be attacked quite a bit more due to payoffs. Although, from my perspective I have yet to see it as I am generally the agressor nation after a certain point. My old senior chief use to say this to me prior to him moving on and I stepping up. I keep this phrase handy in the back of my mind when I am doing work, play or simply rocking out to GC2. "Prior Planning Pre

I recommend that you go to the ATI driver webpage: Link Or you go to a place I like as I have an ATI enabled laptop at work and a NVIDIA desktop at home, this site supports both: Link Good luck and good hunting, W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

The latest stuff I have seen is from May 10th, and yes I believe there was small updates to them files than. Good luck with school, stay focused. W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

Turn off influence victory That will take care of the not winning part, but doesn't work on stopping them from surrendering to you, just merely stops you from winning the game on your next turn if you have met all the criteria, such as controlling X% of the galaxy. Unless the folks surrendering is the absolute last race, look at tra

Let the Moon Blade fall on the heads of the unfaithful. Unleash that pen! W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

You can modify the color in the racial traits area btw. As I use a burnt-orange for the Pryde I generally don't have a problem. W/R Suralle

Could we hear an AMEN on 49! Okay, now delete it please. W/R Suralle

Another option if you're feeling really adventurous would be to drive over to Stardock and get a new one - we're located about an hour south of you in Plymouth MI. Plus I bet if you got there at a good time you could get a peak at some cool new stuff the folks are working on... if you asked nicely. Well, I know I would ask nicely, he

Although I feel that StarDock has a handle on the random event ship sequence that causes the game to CTD, it probably wouldn't hurt to d/l smartexception from StarDock Central and email the developers the entries Smart Exception generates for you. I generally do this and save the forum space for more poke em and prod em comments. But hey, thats me. Also, I believe and would guees that the wonderful, yet subtle developer CariElf has taken care of the ranger CTD and is even

Not sure on the user mods. I am still trying to master the game being presented to me. Definitely not a fan of the simultaneous attack, explained in a forum post of mine. However, I understand fully that the source code and all of the hard work to make a game I have already spent way to many hours on is your alls. I fully appreciate the fact you all spend your weekends and nights talking to the rest of us on SDC Chat. I love the fact that Cari actually

or it lets me build so many constructors I run out of useful things for them to do... I just keep using them to upgrade military/economy bases. Amazing what 300 to 400 in research with 100's of hammer and shields can get done on a 14 / 15 PQ planet. W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large

Are they or are they mearly playing the houses "Great Game". W/R Suralle Similarity could be drawn toward our own intelligence services no matter what country you live in. Just because you think your getting cable for free, doesn't mean that someone (other than the cable company) doesn't know. They have just decided to file it for future use, JIC.

Currently working on a FFP SOW in Word, keeping email open and have/had a few minutes to read the forums including your story line.. Sweet, stay on it. If I was your kat I would be swiching a tail about your ankles and playing with your mouse light. W/R Suralle

I voted yes, I spend just about 40% of my gaming on GC2 in the ship design area. I am always tweaking this and that to find a more symetrical look at of the components that came with the CE addition. I have a pretty good looking set of ships for the Pryde now. Not quite the swan shaped ships of Star Trek, now quite the triangular ships of Star Wars or the tear drop shape of modern naval ships but a good mix. I have secondary sets of wings that I can use of swept effect (if only they would mo

"On paper it looked good, the attacking ships fire, if the defense survives they fire back." And the other way sounds hokey. I am a "French-made" Mirage Fighter Jet. I closed within 32 NM of a nicely defended O.H. Perry Frigate in this worlds most powerful navy, not once, but twice. Getting no response I launced two (2) "French-made" Exocet Missiles. The ship never stood a chance at firing back and are lucky that the Exocet at the time didn't have a pop-up approach and the second

I like to submit games because I do like the prestige, whether I get it or not. I play better at this game and others if I feel and believe that others are watching me, again, whether is true or not. I write more stories on the Kat Lords and Kat Ladies if I feel others are reading and have an appreciation for my type of science fiction, whether they do or not. I have some issues, I enjoy being competitive, whether I am or not. W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Lar
