With the pirates mega event starbases don't stand much of a chance even if you got all available modules installed. I made sure i had a fleet standing by to counter them . A starbase should be able to withstand more than say 1 fleet.

Starbases are good for the economy and increasing influence. I have noticed though when confronted with a large fleet of powerful enemy ships they don't fair so well as far as defending planets. I do think more offensive power and defensive power should be put into starbases but should be limited to say I placed a starbase on my border to protect invading armies . These starbase would be a special type of starbase that you would have to research a tech for . Could be called Sentry technology or

I have played the babylon 5 mod and it has the epic hull size and I was wondering could their be a extra hull size called epic put in? The terran base ship design is epic and it looks like a borg cube. I like that alot

I noticed that they went for my shipping lanes disrupting my economy first i was down to - 1200bc and my citizens were very upset with the way i was dealing with everything so i lowered the spending and tried to bribe some of my allies for some money. I traded plague cure and got some money then tried to stop them from attacking my outposts . I noticed they just wait for you to do anything after they wiped the floor with you . This was on easy settings and I had a time anyway I loosened their ho

Pirates o the agony i been playing and got whacked up side the head by the pirates . They destroyed every base and outpost i built. After some looking at their ships i figured strategy was in order so i made some custom ships and managed to drive them from my corner of happy land but it was really hard they still have ships in other parts of the galaxy but the dregin and korath are evil so who cares if they agrovate them. I wasn't expecting the mega pirate attack <img src="http://images.stardoc

Yeah could make it a mega event and have them disrupt trade routes and attack starbases .That forces all allied races to have to stop and mobilize forces to stop them. They would have a planet as their base and be hard to stop . More of a pain than anything cause they hit your economy and that of your allies. Also being a minor race you could also make a treaty with them and cause them to attack your enemies and aggrovate them for a solar year. Course creating a custom opponent would be just as

I was noticing that the templates used for the korath are cool looking and my question is how to you use those designs i selected use but it started over to a basic ship with no extra's. I am not good at ship designing so maybe someone can post some pics or hints. I am a happy camper with all the extra pieces that are provided just where do i put them.

Maybe the korath are really evil while dregins have some ideals korath want war any way they can get it. Kind of like those minions of the dominion in star deep space nine that only live to kill. The Ted Bundies of the galaxy i guess.

I have noticed that customizing your enemy can be fun and with that in mind why not be able to give your choice race the same benefits . I enjoy having uber economics and with that it makes the higher difficulty levels manageable with the added advantages.

I like the asteroid fields and the fact you can mine resources from them. The two new races are a welcome change but what i like most is more ship parts. I like the super abilities too. The different planet inviroments are nice. I think there should be resources on those planets that you can find anywhere else Example. Toxic world would have a medical bonus ,barren world could have a soldiering bonus or anything like that. Maybe the water world would contain some ruins for a research bonus ,barr

I run nvidia geforce 4000mx and it runs good with 512 of sdram. I got the standard pci slots and 1 agp on my compaq 5300 presario although this computer is old I upgraded it to play this game. I made sure to get dual monitor support for my monitor and made sure it was direct x-9 compatible. Sometime I plan to get a better card than i got now but this works so I am sticking with it for now.

Good stuff I like the spys and agents . Sabotage is the way to go especially if a enemy is strong militarily you can use agents to cripple or slow them down or down right weaken them so as not to be a threat until you can muster a effective force to fight them. With economy and goverment agents can cause alot of problems. Alot more to work with is better and i am glad i preordered the game. Good luck

I agree when I first bought the ps2 it was 300 dollars and well thats not even including the games. I had to send it in cause of disk read errors and although they fixed it and sent me another for a fee of course I am staying away from this 1 and sticking with pc games. I am not perfect but I want something that works for what i pay for.

Since galciv2 came out I never was a pc gamer mostly cause I played my ps2 more but since this game came out and I like space sims better I decided for a graphic update and I am glad I did. I enjoy the features of galciv2 and if the lord willing i will enjoy dark avatars.

Starbase auto-attack mode , this would allow a starbase to attack a ship within its area of sensor range like a ship would in auto-attack mode and would have a check box to enable or disable the feature. That way ship woud have to watch there step when attacking an enemy. A person could put starbases and slow down the enemy long enough to build ships for offense.
