well, unlike some games such as CoH/CoV, WoW which only have a limited set of choices for customization (creating the character in those games cases), the shipbuilder has a potential for a near infinite combinations because there are so many choices and many hardpoints, and each piece actually adds hardpoints, so it'll look like some randomized mess with possibly hundreds of thousands of pieces and you don't even know what's connected to what if you wanted to remove some pieces. in some games, t

well you're buying direct from Stardock themselves I guess. or maybe it costs more to download, I don't know why the pricing is like that.

so I can use the Kryo's hull mod in a metaverse without it flagging the game as a cheated game?

I don't know about that. besides the full game is WAY better than the demo, especially patched, plus the demo doesn't have all of the files that the full game would have, so I don't know if its compatible. It'll be ALOT more fun to do shipbuilding in the full game anyway, plus theres alot of improvements to the shipbuilder. and you can even use Kryo's hull mod. if you want to save the models, maybe you could take screenshots of them? just a thought.

the defenses mostly just look like plates anyway, nothing special really. So is the weapons mod compatible with Kryo's hull mod? I can't find out for myself atm because I just have the demo right now. I could certainly use the weapons mod along with the Kryo's mod.

I don't know whats going on with it, but since they started putting up the new poll (I saw them putting it up), it showed to me as if I had already voted, but I've never voted on the new one. Right now it shows all of the choices as the bars and some are filled and some are partially filled and as of posting this, there are 5 votes, mine is not included as I never voted in the first place. EDIT: nevermind, I can see it as the normal vote box, I guess the devs were putting thier own votes in f

calm down, you are just limited to 3 years per game, you can play a new game and your ship designs are saved for later use in the demo. AFAIK, there is no limit to how many days you can use the demo, just a limit of how long of a game you can play in the demo. So you can keep playing again and again, you'll just reach the demo time limit after 3 years.

so the expansion pack will be called GalCivIII, right? thats what it sounds like. as for which two races get wiped out, I guess we could have a poll for it if Stardock hasn't already decided on the two. The expansion pack sounds like alot of fun! I don't think the Terrans will be killed off because the whole game is about the terran ascendancy and them developing. So I thi

well yea, pirates are usually enemies of everybody because they are criminals and plus aren't affiliated with a specific race. I haven't heard much about the I-League and the Fundamentalists or what conditions are needed for them to appear.

yea, the demo has crashed a few times (it doesn't seem to crash now), usually when exiting or going to windows screen, so I've just attributed that to the demo because it works fine otherwise.

calm down man, no need to get into a shouting match with anybody. you just gotta ask politely, or maybe go to the StarDock Central IRC chat and ask there. and you just need to have some patience.

really REALLY wierd! That would be incredibly deep debt. maybe you should post the debug err for that game. plus is that you or an AI?

mine is at least 2 or 3 years old, but with the new pentium 4 I got recently, it runs the demo ok, it used to randomly crash the demo occasionally, but doesn't seem to now. anyway, I think GalCiv2 should run ok on my comp.
