The Planetary Governors only work by upgrading existing buildings as you research. It will not build for you. Setup the buildings exactly as you want and afterwards you dont have to worry about upgrading them except for the Neutral research center.
Concur very much... Please add disable autoscrolling. Going through many planets in list can be tedious when it auto scrolls to the top for changing ship building or going into and looking at a planet. This occurs in both the colonies screen and the quick planets list screen.
Texas is the best state Dallas is the best of that Weather has been cool so its the perfect time to be in Dallas. Enjoy your vacation and forget about the demanding users for a while. Of course, we expect you to work twice as hard when you get back <img src="http://images.stardoc
These rant posts are so misleading... People are typing something thats plausible to put their point across but anyone who knows about it knows that its wrong. To counter it, people have to post another rant. I played Civ 4 I saw the problems the game had and checked the forums to check out whats getting fixed. I like the game but it was far from rosy. There were lots of issues with crashs, incompatibility, and many that others here posted. If you w
Psio... I almost wrote a rant like you due to some inaccuraces in your posts...but I'll just make it simple. If you dont like it fine, we are all entitled to opinions. Dont flame others because they do and if you flame, at least put down valid reasons... Comparing MMOs to this game where as some mentioned all support after the fact is cost doesnt work. Also, SWG supporting its players... I laughed at that. I guess your not one of the people who's posts were be
I only build small hulls for port defense initially in the game. Medium and up for combat. Get the eye of the universe - very important! so no need for any sensors. Initlally - depending on enemy weapon - armor/shield/point with specialized weapon. Later - all 3 armor/shield/point at 20/18/20 with spec weapon or multi weapon. Takes down all enemy ships with little to no loses... Well, after initial ramp up of ships
As Marcathonas said, Military is the final factor on whether they will attack you or not. I haven't timed this or really looked at it, but after the start and research, there is a time frame about quarter of the way into the game in which you have to build up the military. Keep your eye on your diplomacy and the military graph. You can see when the other races start the arms race. At this time, you need to have a strong
Well, its more true that your capacity has hit the ceiling of your revenue. You may have more capacity that you do not have money to spend on.... The way its setup, you really can not tell except to increase your taxes and look at the spending in military, social, and research. If the spending in them continues to go up, then you have more capacity versus revenue. Its just the percentage sliders on military, social, and
Reboot your computer. It seems to be a known issue with upgrading to the betas
This has been discussed many times in the forums, but since most people use IE, old version of firefox, Opera - I use opera, people have problems with the forums - my observation. I installed Firefox 1.5.0.2 - well 1.5.0.1 but it got auto updated - and it works perfectly with the forum. Install that and use it to read/post on the forums and you should not run into any problems. Running opera/firefox, just due to this game <br
As people have posted, the most problem I have with the AI - they do not use bonus tiles. Thats it. Before complaining, please try tough or higher on a gigantic map with 9 opponents. Try everything on abundant. The AIs ability to mulitask really shows here, though past a certain point I can use it to my advantage. Tough - AI at best without cheats, above tough - ai gets econ bonus only. My second game on
Slider to 100% military means you are not spending any bc on research or social. So all planets will produce 0 research. No bc is spent on labs. 100% on military with nothing being built, it uses no money and it goes into treasury. Military - not building anything, no bc spent. Social - nothing being built, it goes to military, and if military has nothing - nothing spent.
I tend to put factories on most worlds even those without starports. Reason: they speed up the build time of upgrades. Once everything is upgraded, you can always upgrade the factories and I think they give the bonus until upgraded. Hmm, something to check. Depending on the amount of planets, set several planets to key specialization but keep some diverisified. Too lazy to go through all of them to change the setup but w
Basically what Franco fx said. The only part I'm not sure of is using the full capacity of military, social, and research. Spending at 100%. Sliders at 33/34/33 If you have money to burn, will that use the full capacity of military, social, and research? It would be better if the sliders are set for 100% for each production and research so we can be sure of spending 100% on them with a very good economy.
Check your economy to see if it can support the higher production values. Thats the part some people misunderstand about this game, production is linked to economy. if economy can pay 100%, all production - military, social, and research that you have will work at 100% depending on the slider of mil, soc, res ... of course, though the slider and the % used of each I'm not too sure about. If you pay less, it uses that portion of all milit
...another squirrel... Rabib Squirrel from planet Squirrel Haven salutes you! Rabinator, supreme ruler of Rabib Squirrel, suggests build up of forces to suppress any and all squirrel haters in the galaxy. Setup ships with speed to monitor your colonies and spacestations.

There are a couple of things to try.... Make sure you dont have any spyware/starforce..etc. I know its a new setup but still.... Check the video drivers and make sure its not set up to control the video d3d/opengl settings and its using the game settings instead. Run scandisk - called error checking now, it is remotely possible that there is a bad sector on the drive causing a problem. Also, run the system in
Installed Beta 3. Launched game. No text displays in game. The new game, metaverse..etc icons are there and works but the text overlay is gone. Went through the menus and same issue. Too bad I dont have a photographic memory... I know the first thing to come to mind on many is update drivers and so I shall, but it is interesting that this problem occurred after installation of beta3. I wonder where the pro
Large sensor range. Fast ship movement. Espionage so you know what they are using. Dont blindly send your ships out to attack. If you have movement points, check the movement of the enemy and control the distance to them so that you become the attacker instead of the defender. When its equal fleets, its very important to control the distance of your fleets to the enemy so that it intersects to your advantage. -
Dang, I wish I knew of the options to break alliance earlier. First peace with my enemy.. Pay my allies to peace. Pay enemy to go to war with my ally. Say no to allies request to assist. Than pay my other ally to peace with the enemy. Pay the enemy to attack the other ally and refuse to help. Just to get a military victory. Hmm... its more interesting that way but.... it was expensive doing that.
Try it with the current version of firefox. I have lots of problems with the forums using IE or Opera. I installed firefox - no problems... Forums that time out on opera works fine in firefox. Created my character without a problem in firefox. This is a firefox loving site. At least its not IE.
This is where people come in and request more maps. I have gone to the point of micro managing planets to optimize them so please add more planetary maps to the game. I can only stare so long at a planet to switch to another and wonder, didnt I just set this place up? Unless of course, that is in 1.1 and I'm too lazy now to check
After much debate... Colonials to Browncoats... Browncoats, here I come! I was getting so tired of low grade b scifi shows and movies for so long that Firefly/Serenty woke me up. Well, here I am.
That video is a bit of a problem. I have a laptop that I originally got the game for.... but it does not run it well, so playing it on my desktop. As Ostsol stated, test your system with the demo... Only way to know. Also, make sure that your video drivers and sound drivers are up to date. It seems that is where most of the people are having problems.
