Couldn't hurt

What about the Iconians This sounds cool for sure though, will add a lot of variety!

Killer.

Yeah I think random custom races are enough to start off with

Yeah, a randomly generated custom races could definately spice things up.

I say you keep making them as long as you have cool things to add, and people to buy 'em. Later in GALCIV2's life you could even do booster pack things, for 10$ or something. They'd be more than an update but not a full blown expansion pack either. Maybe they could have tonnes of ship parts or updated graphics or some other cool stuff like that. Of course they would probably have to be digital only.

Awesome awesome awesome. Any other game company would call this much new stuff an expansion and charge you for it

Awesome! Thanks a lot Stardock!

this is great. sure would be nice if someone like me had any clue about how to find this beta patch. but as I have been critical of you guys before, this is simply not a way to "update" games. Stardock . . . does it do it's job or not? I am used to downloading updates and hitting the .exe file, not having some middleman do it for me. it's confusing guys. you have a new game coming up: sins of a solar empire. If I hear stardo

And besides the slowdown, it looks really ugly having a huge pile of polygons all morphed together.

Maybe I should have put this in the general forum since it's not actually a bug...

The AI always seems to cluster huge stacks of ships together like this, causing a lot of slowdown once a few of these clusters are on the map. I think it would be better to show stacks another way. Instead of 30 ships all morphed into a huge soup of polygons, perhaps only show the top fleet/ship in the stack, and use some sort of icon or icons to show how many ships are in the stack like civ4 does. Something like this could really cut down on map clutter in my opinion. <img

Here is a modern PCI video card. A PCI version of the radeon x1300. WWW Link Still though don't expect any miracles, this is still a relativly slow graphics card and you would probably just be better off saving your money for a whole new computer!

Any estimate on how large of a download this will be?

It would be nice if Class 0's had some sort of purpose.
