Well why don't we treat it as a true election. You have already stated approximately the criteria for running. Have it firmed up and then post it. All those who want to run i.e. want the job, would then have to post an application expressing their desire to fill the position and why they would like to do so. You would then have a list of potential candidates with their election criteria. At this point the candidate list (with the criteria)could be posted and

Yes! You could also have upgrades specific to certain valuable minerals. That way a player would have to think about which specific source of income they wanted to concentrate on whith each individual starbase.

Now that's a brilliant idea. It would really slow down the colony rush. If each planet you colonised had to have freighters travelling to it carrying food, it necessitates getting the trade techs, setting up trade routes, ensuring the trade routes are safe etc. I don't know how difficult it would be to set this up in DA, but, If it was just a matter of having freighters going backwards and forwards from your planets and when each time a freighter came from your home world or a sel

What about the Primordial Precursors? That should get people's attention.

Great writeup Brad. I definately agree with what you have said. No-one has the right to abuse anyone for any reason. If a person is angry and there's nothing wrong with being angry, just communicate we learnt about that in grade 3 with sesame street. You know communication and cooperation!!! All these angry people have to do, is talk reasonably and the people they are talking to should respond in the like manner. Secondly a Beta is a Beta, by definition it is most likely going to

Hey Gauntlet03, Just a little bit of feedback. I love the mod, but I have noticed that the ships on minor race that was once the cardinoids still identify as Cardinoid ships when you click the mouse on them. The planets and pictures etc are fine. Just thought you may want to check it out. I've only played one game though so it might have been a once off glitch. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Congrats.gif" bor

Well I'm 48 have a lovely wife four kids and three computers. I don't know what half the game styles are but I played golf when the ball was a single square pixel and I loved the Wing Commander series. Now I play with Tiger Woods 2007 PGA Tour (I know EA is an evil word, but it's the best golf game around). My wife plays Solitaire and Hearts and thats about her limit. I start work at 0700am and finish at 2.30pm which gives me 3 hours a day for GCII DA or modding before my sons get home an ki

Look People! We know computers systems and software can fail or crash. We have heard from Kryo and others that it was unintentional and the problem was rectified ASAP. I too was directed to JU but after a quick glance I decided (by choice) not to read any of the material posted on the site. My point is. I hardly think we should be disappointed in Stardock or any of the team because of something that happened beyond their control. Frankly I feel we should be grateful for all of their

Thanks for your reply. I understand and will abide by your wishes. Thank-you for all your support and keep up the great work with your mod. Regards Lynx xxx

Kryo! Are we allowed to use this mod with other mods. i.e. I've got permission to use some other mods with mine and I'm creating a conglomeration type mod of all the really great mods. Besides my own, I'd like the two other base mods to be yours and the High Resolution Graphics mod. Let me know if you feel this would be OK! Thanks Lynx xxx

Thanks Kyro! I'll have a go at it.

I am really looking forward to the beta's. It gives us players a chance to help you with our feedback before the final product is released. I personally don't play the scenario's, but I think it's because I haven't found one interesting enough to do. (But that's just me) I also am looking forward to your new and improved AI, and hope like Teancum that the trade negotiations are a bit more realistic. Great job!!! I have never had a developer do better! <img src="htt

If I wanted to be able to make a Dread Lord ship (any size hull) available in the game after (for example) reaching a certain tech, how could I do this? Assuming it is possible at all. Any thoughts!

I'm having a bit of trouble. No matter what I do I can't seam to get the planet to show up in the game. I've down loaded the latest mod for DA followed the instructions. Not using it with any other mods and it still shows the old starbase. Everything else works fine and is present. Any Ideas?

I find that I just trade all their techs so I can climb the tech tree ladder more rapidly. I give them many good techs, but seeing as I never attack them this just makes them stronger and better able to defend themselves against other major races that do. If the major races are wasting their time fighting them that's all the better for me!

I thought it might be good to have a star go nova as a mega event. All the planets around the star could be destroyed and as the shock wave spreads out further the damage could lesson exponentially. This event would have to be totally random and could produce some interesting scenarios. This game is incredible, and as you might have guessed i really like the random events

Happy new Year from Australia "Down Under" And if you want a new year present, my first mod has been approved and is in the Library. Enjoy!!!

I downloaded it again and it works fine thanks for the help!

Thanks for your comments. I do have smart exception and thats what I sent in. So if it is a bug it should get fixed. I'll try reloading it I hadn't thought about the corrupted design dxpack. Appreciate your help.

My DA Beta 2 keeps crashing when I hit "new" in the build ship screen. I've posted my bug report but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I went back into GalcivII and it works fine. This is a pretty drastic bug because you can't design your own ships. Makes it really tough to win the game. But not impossible!

First off! Nice write up. I have to say that I enjoyed the Pirate event. Yes they were powerful, and I was the leading race at the time with the best ships and the best tech, so, it really helped me as they wiped out pretty well two of my toughest opponents ships and it didn't take me too long to get on top of them. I do believe it could be different if I was not doing so well. Alliances! Well I've been able to get quite a few allies, but I specifically picked the ones I wan

Absolutely fantastic. Great effort to all of the Stardock team. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving celebration from us in the land down under

Yes you are right Draginol! But they are slightly more than transport ships that always work. Fist off you only need 1 and you could conquer the galaxcy. I've played x5 games with them now and if you beef up your research to 100% get a spore ship (or two) out quickly, you can wipe the floor, because the other races arn't even building defenders. It can give you a great start even if the other races do catch on to whats happening, and they do. They usually all declare war on me! Not t

When you declare war and the ground battle screen comes up. The players bar (the one which is contantly changing always starts at the colour red, then a few micro seconds later it changes to the correct colour of your race. Point 2. (You can ignore this if you wish) I decided to take a modded race from GalCivII adapted it for DA and tried it out. It worked great! Played perfectly. The one issue was that the Bik files didn't work. (they worked in GalCivII). I got a still so it didn't affect t

Yes Agreed. As stated in another post I think the spore ships are way too powerfull to have at the begining. They need to be researched, be able to be stolen, and have other races be given the time to counteract when they get them. or at least have a large force to hunt them down before they do too much damage.
