Project origins There was some discussion on the Steam forums as to how to get an update to GalCiv 2 out there. Draginol popped in and suggested that an update incorporating the expertise of the fanbase would be the best way forward. A bugfixing update would soon be on the way. I sent a message to the other tech tree modders, and luckily secured the assistance of Gaunathor, and later MabusAltarn, as well as some dedicated members of the community

Of course, to take advantage of the speed, the downside is that you'll need a disk controller and data bandwidth capable of transferring that quickly. ;)

The only part which isn't funny is that people fall for this rubbish. Not my mum though. She cuts them off saying she already has a computer expert to help her out. Well hey, it's true. Yesterday I even crawled into my boiler cupboard with a torch to help her get her new boiler working again (it's the same model, so that's the best way). That's real technical support right there!

I started a second YouTube series, The Search For More Credits , earlier today with version 6B. It's a little bit over an hour in length (mostly uneidted) so feel free to skip through it a bit.

All updated in the top post. Let me know if you run into any problems. :)

Hey guys! Guess what? 6B will be posted later on today. :)

It's the SlenderChip! Run! Save yours-

He was, and still is, an inspiration to us all. RIP Robin, gone but never forgotten.

If you're economically weaker, you'll need to use a fleet to tactically clear planets of defenders so your transports can move in. Depending on the type of planet you liberate, you'll then have either a world which you can develop to provide more taxes, or build more ships closer to the front lines. Missiles do give a fair bit of bang for buck (if you consider the cost per modules divided by how much damage they do) so, depending on the relative costs of your ships a

[quote who="charon2112" reply="11" id="3484631"]As an exclusively SP player, I don't think this news affects me much. [/quote] Even in single-player, imagine how cool it would be if you could download a customised race complete with ship style (assuming that's still a thing) within GC3? :D Or, taking that a step further, what if you could chat to other ship designers and give feedback on their (cosmetic) ship designs while they're building them, and you're

Okay look, you know what I would like instead of photo squares on the right there? A 'suggested programs/documents' list, without actually calling it that. Every time you, for example, play GalCiv 2, it will get populated with other games in your collection in the same genre, or games that you typically play afterwards. Or, for example, if I were to use Word for writing a book, it will show files with the same tag as the file that I'm working on, meaning that I

No Borg Edition, no upgrade. ;)

As I recall, this is because there needs to be a declaration of war text for each possible morality (good, neautral, evil). Really there should be a catch-all at the bottom but it's not a file I've looked at much so I don't even know if that would work.

So, 6B is in testing now, there don't seem to be any issues yet. Here's how the hulls now stack up: Hull Cost Capacity Hitpoints Logistics Tiny 25 16 5 2

Getting ready to push out a new version. This one will include: Rebalanced armour and point defence (shields were already rebalanced earlier). Rebalanced ship hull cost, capacity, hitpoints and logistics costing. Logistics ability gains from techs are doubled (may dial back later).

Well, if you really wanted to you could mod in that size class. I've gone for a slightly different approach, redistributing hull sizes a bit. I still have to test it though.

I still check the GC2 forums. But I haven't realeased a new mod version in some time, because I wanted to do videos instead (alas, I haven't been in the video editor for a while either). Maintenance and fixes only, yo.

Yeah I think honestly the way forward might be to find a way to patch VS2003 to work on Windows 7/8/9. Perhaps petition Microsoft to open-source it since it's ten years old?

Well, the AI is basically solid, it just hasn't been tested and adapted very well. Having kind of established the shortcomings of the AI and the bugs that exist in the data, it would actually be in the realm of possibility to finish the job, but it pretty much wouldn't turn a profit unless you could sell some more DLC with GC2 and well, I think that ship has sailed.

Dungeon of the Endless: So good it needs a health warning! :D I haven't played it yet but I keep hearing good things about it.

Yeah. I only really noticed the issue to begin with because I was steamrolling the known galaxy and not getting much of a fight, which didn't make any sense because I'd been modreately challenged in games before that. I'm just kind of surprised that there are still players on the official forums who think that TA/UE is okay, while over on the Steam discussion board it's a very different story. I guess, wider cross-section of players on Steam.

In my opinion, seems to be the barely playable state of The Ultimate Edition. See external link for example. Look, never mind updating the game executable, we've been down this road before. What about an official data patch? Same effect as the various mod patches, but it goes out to all the Steam customers, they're moderately satisfied, you only need to spend a moderate amount of time on it, and the issue is more or less settled. Honestly, I don't

[quote who="TheBirthdayParty" reply="55" id="3451715"] Quoting MarvinKosh, reply 54 Oh yeah, I watched a bunch of Banished gameplay episodes by Sips the other day. I think it's kind of nice that after getting comments he re-configures the town a bit to improve things. Where did you read that? I'm curious to see what he's changing.[/quote] Um, sorry that may have been confusing. During the gameplay episodes I mentio

A little bit over two weeks later, and I'm back to editing episode 6 of Rise of the Zylons, with something which actually works. Hooray! :) I'm still only a third of the way through but it's a pretty rainy day and I'm feeling up to it. :)

I think that since starting medication (I'm now on my second) adopting a more positive attitude has helped. Don't get me wrong, there are times when I still feel like crap. I'm really not very productive right now. But then I don't have to be and I don't have to guilt myself for not writing X pages or something. I can sit and watch Sips and co playing Prop Hunt. Which is hilarious, by the way. What I'm getting at though is that I
