[quote who="Teal" reply="25" id="2048429"] Quoting warreni, reply 16This sounds like bad news for those of us hoping for a simpler and more reasonably priced new version of Windows. Yes, simple and straightforward would be nice. But it is still MS, so i suppose we cant expect them to be too different than they always have been. [/quote] While I get tired of people bashing microsoft these days I do have to admit this is reall

[quote quoting="post"] Ownership of space? In the mini-map, ownership is shown in your color and every other major race color. I know it has been stated on this forum before that I only own my colonized planets, ships, mines, & starbases within my area of influence in just space in which others see as your empire. Currently if an influence starbase from another race is place right in the center of my area or something like that, I have no way to tell

[quote who="Emerald Viper" reply="2" id="2065595"]Thank you [/quote] That's how I roll :). I love this game so giving new customers support works out dandy.

Thanks all btw, I was using too many farms :). I just finished a game with influence and almost 100% 100% approval (as in at all times) :D.

1.67 Gigs if I'm not mistaken :). If it isn't that its something very close to that. Once installed it'll take up 2 gigs of space.

[quote who="xcorps" reply="3" id="2065204"]That would have been a timely response last Saturday [/quote] 4 days is a record for most companies. The average company won't respond to you in the same year let alone the same week (7 days).

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="5" id="2064606"]Base speed in TA is 2...[/quote] Well in ship design it says 1 parsec that's why I'm confused. I have ultimate edition.

[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="6" id="2065099"] So my getting two of these events in 20 turns(one increasing PQ of 15 in a 2 sectors radius, the other +11) is highly unusual? Extremely unusual. 2) How do I delete old ship templates from the game, I don't see them anymore in either tab in the shipyard YET when I research technologies related to them I see them on the list In the options menu, you can turn off the autodesign feature entirely. Then you will

[quote who="Noctilucus" reply="9" id="2053665"]Well, as whismerhill explained, this is because on suicidal you suddenly have very competent allies which makes a huge difference In sandbox mode increasing the difficulty will make the game harder for you, don't worry about that. And that particular scenario is a strange one, in other scenarios harder difficulties will work as expected.[/quote] That's actually the scenario that caused me to stop playi

[quote who="whismerhill" reply="3" id="2056256"] Quoting Mystikmind, reply 1 On the other extreme, are the Microsoft operating systems which are seemingly miraculous in their price holding ability in total defiance of how the entire pricing universe is supposed to work! I mean, name one other man made product in existance that can sit on a shelf and maintain it's exact same price from day one for several years and meanwhile the new release is sitti

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="2" id="2061362"]It was fixed in 2.01, IIRC.[/quote] Well I know if you build custom frigates, or small vessels, you don't have enough space to make the ship as good as the pre made ones. Specifically you can't put a gun and a +1 movement engine on them but the pre built ships can move 2 parsecs >_>. Unless I overlooked something obvious.

So I've been enjoying Ultimate Edition since I got it, finding myself (like now) staying up way past my comfortable bed time...doesn't help the game tells you "You sure you wanna go?" :P Anywho I have some questions keeping in mind I did read that gorgeous manual (first time in ages I've read one) but some things elude me. 1) How on earth (or whatever planet ;D) do I stop my people from randomly dropping to 60% approval? It's like I'd have t

[quote who="Martok" reply="18" id="2064256"]Well the reason I ask is because according to Impulse, there's no update available for my version. I wasn't sure if that was right, though. [/quote] I got my copy the day it was available from amazon (pre-ordered :D) and it came to me either fully updated or the moment it installed impulse it was fully updated. Either way I'm rocking the latest TA. &

So far every single game I've played, if I get a ranger and attack with it the next round the AI gets one. 12 times now... Either this is hardcoded or I should get a lottery ticket. Doubly sucks that I always lose the 'duel' :P.

[quote who="psychoak" reply="11" id="2003778"]Most of the crackpots are the same "experts" they've been toting as defenders of global warming. Quite a few of the people specifically mentioned in that joke of a report the UN put out have come out calling it bullshit, at least one was demanding a correction on his supposed support of their findings. Just a little bit of digging would prove our impending doom via global warming to be idiocy beyond doubt.

At Amazon you can get a physical copy of Galactic Civilization II (pre-order with price certainty) for 39.99. That same game is here for 59.99 for digital download only. ...>_> I really really like stardock which is why I bought the game (through amazon obviously I'm not that rich) but I was curious what the disconnect was about? Is getting the game a week early (the ultimate pack) really wroth 20 dollars?
