create a starport upgrade path like other buildings have. you could combine the defense buildings like the orbital fleet manager with a advance version of the starport that way I won't have to waste a tile on building it. I like this idea ALOT. Looking at it from the human point of view, it saves us
Questions: Will no tech trading mean that tech will not be able to change hands ever? (either by threats or by spying).
RE: No Tech Trading Option. I'm positive when the patch list was posted, it didn't list the 'No Tech Trading Option' on it. So, when the poster above made his comment (as did I, a few posts down), we were looking at the ORIGINAL list. Right, after I posted (about #10), the list was updated and the 'Tech' option appeared. So, please, stop pointing this out! If the board wouldn't be so random as to what posts we can edit, I'm su
This is not a problem in the game, if you play hardest levels the AI would not trade with you almost at all. So to solve your problem, just play hardest levels What levels are you playing? With all the AI at Intellient, I've found the AI just as willing to trade as normal. Anyway, the com
Looks like my post got eaten...oh well...there is just one point I'd like to get across. Unused Social Spending routed to military spending (or back to treasury if nothing is being used) I know you'll give us details on this, but I just wanted to give my suggestions on this: I do
So where do we put in ideas for 1.2? I have a bunch of good ones like: 1) in shipd esign, you should be able to resize a component by selecting it on the ship after it was already added. That way you dont have to delete and reaply stuff 2) Do something to manage user ship designs, maybe make it possible to make libr
Whoops! Just rechecked the patch list and see that 'No Tech Trade' is there (was it just added?) That is great! It will be really neat to have unique civilizations to battle against. Next: The middle ground for tech trading ---> Only being able to trade tech that you've personally research (or that you've researched more than 50%, in cases where you steal / or make a trade).
As mentioned in #16, there doesn't seem to be any sort of bone thrown to those who consider the tech trading out of control. What is the offical word/opinion of the Dev's on this? Is this going to looked at in 1.1X or later? Is it in 1.1 but just not on the list? (Seriously, how difficult would it be to have a 'No Technology Trading' option? Does this break the AI or the Diplomacy Screen?)
Sooooooooooooooo......when are you picking winners? (Is the fact that I'm asking indicate I'm not one of them :/)
Ship Assisting atk/def from Military Bases don't work: ========================================== This doesn't seem to happen everytime. But when you put ship assisting stuff on your milbases they won't add at your ships around it. Most times the defensive modules don't work. This happens more to ships in the open, th
This weekend we'll try to put up a sneak preview of what we plan to put into Galactic Civilizations 1.1. Lots of cool new features based on your feedback! Soooooooooooooooooooooooo.......................? (Weekend has come and gone.......you don't mean next weekend now, do you?? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/sm
I didn't mind the campaign, but what really irked me was the ending (no, I won't spoil it....thought there isn't ANYTHING to spoil). Bottom line: after slogging through 13-14 levels I get to the 'big payoff' and the Dreadlord do build a thing...NOT A SINGLE thing. Not a planatry improvement, not a ship, NOTHING. Needless to say it was a very disappointing end.
I don't understand why people (like the OP) make posts like this. Heavensblade....You listened to people you knew who recommended GC2 and it ended up not being your cup of tea. So what? Do you feel stupid? Do you need to know that, somehow you're not the only one who got 'duped'? Do you think that posting here on the DEVELOPERS site will garner you any sympathy? Or perhaps Brad will take pity on you and fully refund your money? You don't have a 3
Blueprint is nice, but I think 'No-trading-tech-you've-not-researched' would fix another problem that irks me. On the 'Diplomacy', you can basically know what direction the AI's are going in (Tech wise) by seeing what Technology they have available to trade. If the above change were to go through, then (I would assume) only the tradable tech would show up on the 'Diplomacy' screen (not any other techs that they may have aquired from other AI).
Also--I can't prove it--but I seem to get more & better bonus tiles with a PQ bonus I've noticed this too. But, again, it may just be coincidence.
Don't know if you want AI suggestions, but here it goes: Suggestion #1: The AI needs to make Cargo-based Sensor Ships (not just scouts) and use them properly. All too often, I'm able to send a fast ship ahead to bait the enemy into coming into range of my fleet. I can only assume that, if the AI were to 'see' the fleet, it wouldn't blantantly put the blinders on and doggedly pursue my 'bait' to its death. (Just on this point, the AI does seem to pay more than the usually
I would like to mention that this also happened to me in the 9th (10th?) Campaign mission, and it was also in after the invasion of a Drengin planet. I also had a massive die off (so I didn't get the Trillion BC I would have gotten in tax revenue). But, having a full planet (with the corresponding taxes) was quite nice.
I think this question has probably been answered before, but I can't find the thread. What I'd eventually like to do is create a selection of 'blueprints' (ie. a number of hulls that I spend a significant amount of time getting them just how I like them) for all the different types of ship-types I'm likely to need in a game (ie. Constructor, Frieghter, Heavy Fighter, etc). These would be completely barebones, so I'd just need to add weapons/defense/etc to get them going (and then sav
by shooting at that enemy next to it? Those are parsecs you're talking about. When we move a ship to attack, it simulates the ship closing that distance to get into firing range. Starbases can't move so they need to wait for ships to come to them.
I don't think the machanics of GC2 will allow Heroes like the ones in MOO2 (and others). However, I do think that perhaps some different text for some Anomalies could reflect 'heroes' joining your empire. Something like: 'In the ruins of the space craft you find a pod in cryogenic suspension. On reviving the occupant, you are shocked to discover "[Insert Alien Name Here], the famous [Figher Pilot/Marine/Industrialist]". Due to his extensive knowledge and ins
I've decided to soften my stance on this. If the Developers decided to add to the Option Screen a toggle for a 'Weeks/Months' timeframe, that would be fine (Heck, I'd probably even choose 'Months' in my games). However, I would hope that such a change (if practical) would be WAAAAAAAY down on the priority list.....somewhere between: 'Add bunny-ears to Dregin pics to keep from scaring young players' and 'Add Flushing Toilet component and a
This is an assine subject. I'd much rather have the developers devote their time to fixing balancing issues & stamping out bugs than going back and making a pointless cosmetic change. Heck, the developers could have made it a 'Galactic Time Unit' instead of a week or month (it's just not PC to force our way of counting time on the universe...unless its at the point of a phasor).... A turn...is a Turn...is a TURN.
This is what the sliders (and focus) buttons are for. However, if StarDock does decide to have the excess money increase approval rating, I would think they would need to cap it at some realitively low number (i.e. max approval through social spending = 10-20%). Any more than that and the populous starts figuring that you should really lower taxes instead of taking it and then just giving it back <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Ew.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddl
The original post makes alludes to the possibility of releasing the 2nd patch on Thursday (March 2nd). Well, since it's now Friday, is there an updated ETA on the release?
On your Planet page, press the 'Details' button (lower right) and you'll see what effect (if any) your star base is having on your planet
