IMO all such trails should end at the edge of explored space. I'll buy that for a dollar.

I'd like to thankyou MottiKhan for your support and also add my support for EvilStormbringer. But i do wonder if being having a banned councilor is a good thing in the eyes of Stardock. Back in a early post in this thread Mumble was talking about a candidates requirements, and one of which would be someone who does not annoy Stardock, or something to that effect. Now don't get me wrong, i like Evil and consider him a friend and do believe he would be a most worthy councilor bu

Hi W.A., east coast for me, Newcastle to be exact. I guess the cheese to it all is, you know where the AI will be at some point. Place a couple of Influence bases at the asteroids and let the AI do the hard work for you. I do this when my miner heads off into space i know i won't be able to colonize effectivly before the AI will. If you can just nab the closest planetto the mines, even in deep influence of another AI you should hang on to them.

Interesting and unique solution. But could it been done is the $64,000 question. I'll have a snoop around and see if this is going to be an option. Anyone else know how this could be implemented?

I think it's probably intentional like automating anomaly searching. Woot another fellow Aussie There does seem to be a few of us here, i didn't realize at first how many of us are on the forums.

I'm faintly familiar with website voting from the days when I put up a few opensource websites that had voting modules included as part of the package ( For example see: Xoops dynamic web content management @ http://www.xoops.org/ ) ... my impression of what is to be accomplished here as far as voting leads me to say: a front-page link to a second-page "voting page" - one that contains a brief summary of the goals and candidate responsibilities; with a brief blurb to e

I believe your following the show too much, for the mod's purposes the feeling has been as long as it existed in the show it was good for the mod. Yes all we have seen of the nox is the one ship, but if they were i of the 4 races, being, Nox, Tollan, Furling and Asgard. I don't think a bunch of nature lovers would have worthy of being part of the that alliance. also just saying that the tok'ra should be miners not majors Ok. All well and good bu

don't recall seeing any of them during the current war with the ori followers No, but we already said that the Stargate timeline was not importamt to us concerning the mod. these guys are communing with nature don't recall any ships Like i said above, for them to be 1 of the Four Races they are worthy inclusions. Wraith these guys don't colonize </d

@Cornhusker.

Where is he going to build solar power plants?? Your forgetting, Aboriginal sacred sites will happen to materialise wherever they might want to build it! hahaha, did they have one of those for Bob Hawk before Keating became PM? They should have! They seem pretty similar don't they, Keating and Costello. Both are

Wikipedia is an all time fav of mine. It was bookmarked the day i first got net. Love the site, if your bored you can always read something on there...

But the Ori would replace the Dread Lords, and would not be playable. Yep for sure, i think we all agreed on this one. With the races, i am just trying to give everyone options. The normal standard game would include those space faring races as majors and leave those who do not have such abbilites as minors. The Tolan, Aschen, Tok'ra and Asurans should be Majors. The Nox too i think, i know we never saw any "space" ships, there was the float

confronted by my fleet so I could get max benefit from the military starbase in the defense Until you research the appropiate techs the starbase will be of no use for to in that regard. You have to have installed modules on the SB with the "Ship Assist" tag. A standard SB does nothing but increase you influence, just putting weapons on the SB is exactly that, weapons for the base. Not till you add the ship assist modules will you get benefit for surround

I was shocked a little while ago by the fact that attacking ships ignored the fleet parked on top of the military starbase altogether and just destroyed it and moved on With stacked ships/fleets and starbases the AI will shoot at the strongest ship/base first. So if you have a fleet of 3 ships 5at/5def on top of a starbase that has 10at/10def your starbase will be targeted first. If they destroy the starbase they can move on if they wish.... Hop

This problem with the attachment spire continues to be a pain. I have now found that no matter what ship has it, the game slows dramatically. If it is on one of my ships, the game is terrible in the ship builder and then once the ship is built and on screen. If it is an AI ship once it is on screen the game slows, frame rates below 5, and the ship need not be visable. If the AI ship is in the FOW, or unexplored area i get the same effect. Strangely i don't recall having this in

2 nominees and we're both Australian. Now that is a small world... Great to see someone else has taken an interest, Good Luck

Hi all. Not sure if everyone knows but the Metaverse council is holding a free election to elect a new member. My name was brought up and i have accepted. I would love the support of any of my fellow HCH members that think i could do some good as a MVC member. Please check out this thread, WWW Link and post your support there. It is a free election and no nomination is required, i believe, so if you wish to run

Those people were forced by there country to go out and die for them. 4 people. That's how many people in my family fought and died in WWII. 2 people. That is the number that fought and died in Vietnam. 1 more, my step father, fought in Vietnam, though thankfully lived to tell his tale...just. How many of those 7 brave souls were forced to fight by their country. None! . They all volunteered and 1 was even my Nan, who left 4 child

If you only buy the Gold Edition to for the extra ship jewelery and hulls then you have spent wisely. The ships of DA make DL's ships look like something off an old Atari 2600. That being said though, the new updates that continue from Stardock should alone make you happy you have DA. I don't think DL is supported to this degree anymore and as such after a few months i think you would be frothing at the mouth to get your hands on the expansion. Get the Gold Edition and use DL f

Hey, couldn't agree more Mumblefratz. A fresh pair of eyes could be the best thing for the MVC. Some of us "old timers" might be a little lethargic and set in our ways by now. A new member might be just what the doctor ordered, there is nothing like the views of the pure and innocent.... If someone has the desire to see the Metaverse succeed and flourish, it should'nt matter if they a have nice long row of flashy, nicely colored little icon medals or not. Sitting there reading

This strategy only works for large/gigantic galaxies, right? Otherwise it seems that colonization will have been completed before you've researched the techs required for planetary invasion. (It's a cunning strategy, I just want to make sure I understand the limitation Yes your right, that is based on a gigantic map. But also based on a very research biased game. i fill my home planet with 1 entertainment centre, 1 factory and the rest labs. The next pla

I did this post separately from the above post because this one is purely of a selfish nature..Mumblefrtaz asked for "minimal" campaigning from nominee's so i thought a little info on me and my interest's here might be prudent. Here goes, I'm 30 years old in 1 week, married with 1 son. I work in a Security monitoring centre and have been playing the game since the day it come out in stores (in Australia anyway). I actually did not use the MV at first since modding the game was

It seems I dont carry much support, I drop my arguement, let this election presume with the game requirement. I of course meant no disrespect nor did i want that to come off as a hardline statement, just an opinion. I would sure hate for someone to drop an arguement because they were outnumbered, stick to your guns. Your points are valid. We did agree earleir overwhelmingly that the voting should be free. <br

Thanks to PlayJeff and Wyndstar for their support, i guess it's official, i am putting my name forward to be considered an MVC nominee. "Metaverse Council" the title says it all. Should the MVC be representative of the whole GalCiv community? Why yes of course. Without new players joining the MV there would be little point in the whole endeavour. But should that come at the expense of putting the MV and it's users first. I would say not. Like you said Mumble, all else is secondary, ev

Everything is working fine, but one thing. in the ship builder if i try and use the attachment spire (1st thing in generic), my frame drop down to 2 or 3, everywhere. Even if i try and use that ship in game it is terrible. But as soon as i take the spire off the ship and save and reload that ship in shipbuilder it's fine. And plays fine. I have a debugg if ya need it.
