awsome.. thumbs up!

nice.. keep it going

good tips at the start.. buy manufacturing facilities so they can build your colony ships faster research right away for new engine drives design your colony ships to move faster than them research for research facilities.. and off you go oh yes, i found out you can equip more than one engine to your hull, that thought didnt occur to me after a few more games.

huh? spam fest!

i have no idea about modding but there all i can do is cheer you guys on! keep up the good work

omg my save and loading times have dramatically shortened.. no more waiting for 4mins to load the bloody thing everytime i start up my GC or make a new game!

will your ship disappear when you invade a planet? considering it has the top of the line weapons and shields?

i think he is complaining of the loading screen thinking the game has crashed. I must agree that the loading screen or saving takes a long time .. around 3 min for huge and 5 min for gigantic on the first load of the game or first save of a new game. just wait for it to load or save. after the first hurdle is done, saving is pretty quick. other than that, gc2 works perfectly fine with me ( and my comps 3 years old ugh)

try huge maps with 9 AI on tough.. the experience it totally different when you are playing on small galaxies with only 1 or 2 AI to concentrate on.

Thanks for those replies. I did actually see Brads journals and figure I could do something similar since there arent so many willing to do stories of thier conquest. as for this. Probably me being paranoid, but you do know you can change the size of ship components right? Its just your ships seem to have the stock sizes and its making the

Journal Entry: Captain of Fleet USR-Dolphin-04 Year 2230, December 15 Our fleet composed of 6 USR-Dolphins have finally arrived in the Drengin System Vesta. The journey has mostly been uneventful. Our commanders are waiting to see how the results of the latest generation of galaxy size starships will fareout against the Drengin Ships. Our goal is to minimize casualty as much as possible. In order to do that, we need to test our new Dynamic Shielding our scientist have researched

oh, another note: sorry for the lousy pics, . Thats what you get for an amatur like me

notes: just to let you guys know, Yor were very unlucky bastards having only 2 worlds at the start of the game. They had virtually nothing to expand with. (see the big empty space in the map). They were the first race the D'harian Empire conquered. I am quite lucky indeed if you look at the map again, it is true the the Altarians and Iconians were the only thing that saved me against the Drengi. Being so far, we were very very lucky. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target=

Journal Entry: Captain of Fleet USR-Crab-03 Year 2230, December 15 Currently Stationed above the Planet Iconia. The Planetary Governor tells me that the construction of the Constructor-Ceti ships are ahead of schedule. The governor is as always impressed with the Yor technology we had aquired when we invaded thier planet. Perhaps being Robotic Sentient Beings, they are superior in manufacturing. As I order my Pilot to make the usual rounds around the planet, my mind wa

Background: I am playing a Custom race named: D'hara Empire (cheesy name ripped from terry goodkind but hey love his book). D'hara are also Terrans (humans) who left Earth during the 20th Century; but no one knows how they got to the planet. To be able to progress, the inhabitants discovered Altarian

what happens? does the save game get stuck up everytime you try to save? If your playing huge or big galaxies, you should wait for the save. Everytime i create a new galaxy, takes me around 2-4mins to save the first time, or load any save game.

im having a small problem with stardock as well.. for some reason my game just disappeared from thier menu so i cant download the patch there. so what im doing now is downloading it directly. but still..

i think the trade tech exploit has been checked from what i see with the new tech trading. high level tech trade only if ally. and no weapon tech trade. much better. keep up the good job!

mine is 5200 fx gforce and while it barely handles it, doenst fry

those guys gave good tips so nothing more i can give you but good luck on your campaign. i finished the campaign with lucky as well. its okay to lose one or two missions though (as there are alternative easier ones).

in all my game time.. ive never seen the drengin gain predominance at any certain point. Being so ruthless and evil, he goes to war all the time (dumb). It seems all evil races seem to never win in any game I play. .

"Your base belongs to us".. took me two turns to realize what that means. I still found it funny though

happened to me just once.. and only once

in my game, torians seem to exapand pretty quick and no matter what happens, they seem to initiate attacks (so much for being good) so i just conquer them before they conquer me (or I am in good alignment)

it should work.. i was had laser 5 tech then was able to capture a planet getting plasma 3. i skipped a few levels. trade should work the same?
