That was a good read- Good luck, and keep us posted!

lol- Well I guess the learning curve was to steep for him. Oh well- Thanks for posting it Feud, it was worth the chuckle. As far as his spelling, typo's and grammer go- I think everybody can still get his point. PaladinStorm > Who cares?? If the worst that happened here was a few posts with poor grammer and/or spelling in then the forums would be a happi

Hey, tbay- great Forum

I play all the way up the tech tree, and to be honest in the end 1 of my Dreadnaughts can normaly take out a hoarde of high tech fighters with out a problem. 6 on 1, and I don't sweat it, (I had a game where the Korx had a fighter that could do 127 points of laser damage. But a fleet of those against 1 of my Massive size ship with an attack of 50 defense 120+ shields, 120+ point armor straight from the shipyard with out the bonuses from my mines- (In the end it was something like 100 attack/240

The Yor are the robots, the Korx are mercenaries. Are you sure the korx aren't robots? They look like 'bots to me... As far as taking the planet, it should be easy to do with a small force and mass drivers, keep attacking until the population is down to something you can take with mini-soldiers or the like- Of course looking at the date, I

I think the best strat for dealing with Minors is, let them be- Trade with them regardless of alignment... and protect them- Sell techs to them to keep them strong. I find that it makes a good, uninterupted cash flow. No more loosing cash when majors declare war on you- Except for the trade they did with you. Also for some reason at the higher levels, I seem to make about 1.5-2x the money of the same length trade route with a minor, then a major- Anybody know why?

wow- cool. I want 10

If a planet has a large population and you don't want to lower the PQ, try this... Attack with mass drivers using an insufficient number of troops to fully get the job done - make sure you lose, but in doing so you reduce its population considerably. Then send in a second transport, utilizing less destructive methods like traditional warfare or mini-soldiers, with e

I want a sun destroyer! Amen- I second that one! give me something that I can cause a sun to go Nova and take out everything in a 10x10 block around it... Talk about a nice way to crush that last race or two... lol, Oh how I simply joygasm from the th

I've been programming since the TRS-80 model I days Danm, now that was back in the 70's... lol- RADIO SHACK RULES! (I never could get those dang tape decks to save my stuff correctly) PEBKAC most likely... Bummer about the bug- its to bad it didn't send the amount to the + side

Don't know, I just tried by jacking my tax rate to 100% and then played a few turns, but everytime I tried to attack someone it let me- Worse result I got was a senate vote of 63-37. I was playing Normal with the Star Federation for my goverment... I belive what happens is it just doesn't let you go to war, but since I've never had it happen, I can't tell ya

but in some cases it would not be advisable for the game developers to inform the public of what exactly causes the "cheater alarm" to sound because it will aid unscrupulous players in devising a means to get around the cheating safegaurds. While, that maybe true in some cases, I think it would be quite helpful if they'd give us a more detailed

I thought you always could do it, I just never bothered.. But I may be thinking of some beta build When I played the game when it first came out (1.0) I could not, if I built a 20 attack, 20 defense, 30 hitpoint ship would show as a 0 attack, 0 defesnse, 1 hitpoint Mini Frieghter. So I never tried it again, also read in these posts where the que

Yep, not even the 50,000 point game I had that got nixed would have made the dif...

ops, you replied, it was before you said it's ok you post seconds before me lol lol- I hate it when that happens! Thou if anyone could explain to me what the heck causes the flag to trip, besides saying "when game data is modified" (doesn't simply playing the game cause data modification?) I would appreciate it- Such as; If I sav

Just reloaded the game before the massive crash I had to work around and retired, bummer that I only got 3,300 points for the game but it didn't throw the cheat flag- Bummer that I can't post the game where I got 50,000ish- *Scracthes head*, I suppose I'll have to send you the save file, if you hit (Turn) wi

Wow- CariElf, the Galciv2 Goddess- I'm humbled... I just want to say personaly, I love the game- you and the crew are going to replace Sid Meier in the near future- I've even put money on it Nope- I sure didn't- Thou I did play with a custom race, I did clear all stats before I set them. I belive what ever tripped the flag did so during game play - thou I'm not sure...

Thanks for the answer Master U; you can look at "Answers to questions about the Metaverse" forum to read about what causes the flag to appear That I did, but the answer is not very indepth- Such as *what* causes the flag to tip - Tried to search for more on the subject but came up with a big 'zilch' which is why I asked the question

I'm just finished a game, (Patch 1.31) and it got flagged for cheating. Which I did not do- (the graphic tweaking I did with the ships has not caused such a flag in 3 trail runs, so I doubt that did it) The game did become unstable at the point where I punked the Torians out of all there money and IP points when I signed a peace treaty leaving them with just one planet. The game would crash going into the next turn, so I in the end, I had to reload and kill them off to make it into the ne

Back to the subject on the thread about gas prices- It's 2.36 here in R-kansas, and about 2.50 back in my home state of Alaska. There seems to be lots of speculation of it dropping below $2.00 by end of year- should be intresting to watch...

I never could figure out how to start out right- Lately I pick, Luck, Morale, Economics (Max it), Diplomancy(Max it) and I think Loyalty- Seems to work for what ever I do- I always play the good old American way- Economics, Economics, Economics. Then lately I've piced the Fed Party- (Populist Party seems to work well too) Use to do Technolgists, but for some reason, it just doesn't work for me anymore. (Since 1.2) Thou I have to give you props <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/

Hey thanks for the detailed answer Notreal- Looks like hitpoints carry as well- so it would be possible to upgrade all cargo to a Large Hull class... Not sure if the upkeep would be worth it- (Probably cost me more then I get from the route... lol) here is a pic of my experimital Frieghter- Med. Hull- I was just shocked it worked... </

What I'd like to see is more AI coordination, so that two weaker powers agree to declare war together on a stronger one. At the moment, once you have the biggest military you generally just get left alone unless you start something. Amen, how I long for the day when the AI can band togather and form an surgicaly accurate "allied" attack forc
