miscellany in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Howdy. I've been wondering... how "moddable" is GC2? I've had a few ideas since I started playing about what I'd like to see in the game. It would have been cool if one could use military starbases to dock starships for repairs, kind of like planets. Thus, these starbases could very well be used for defense along one's borders, or as forward bases when there is no planet near. Perhaps one could upgrade them with "Orbital Fleet Manager"-like modules or even allow them to constru

Any help with the crash-on-load in 1.8c? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Howdy. I also found (to my dismay) that 1.8c crashes when I try to load my game. And it was a brand-new 1.8c game that I started yesterday... Can anyone offer some guidance? J.

Starcon 2 flashback... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Has anyone else spotted this similarity? Bad guys in DA: Drengin. They enslave everyone. However a subspecies, the Korath, has now arisen to prefers exterminating everyone to enslaving them. Rewind fifteen years: Bad guys in Starcon 2: Ur-Quan. They enslave everyone. Subspecies: Kor-Ah, who -- you guessed it -- prefer extermination. The Kor-Ah even had a dark grey sphere of control on the map, and their ships were black. Not to mention the whole impenetrable plane

couple of bugs I found in 1.8c in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Howdy. I stumbled across these bugs while playing 1.8c: 1. Space miners don't initiate construction of a mining base when they are autopiloted to an asteroid. I found that I need to autopilot them to an adjacent space and then manually move the last stretch to the asteroid. 2. Resource mining starbases sometimes seem to disappear. I suspect it's only level 1 mining starbases; when I upgrade to level 2 the starbase appears again. Before that, however, the starbase graph

So many mods... in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Howdy. Alright, I've updated and I'm ready to get some mods. However, I have simple needs: I just want extra bits for my Shipyard (i.e. more wings, poles, lights, fins, struts, plates, beams, kitchen sinks &c). Now, it looks like a lot of mods just supply completed ships using the old bits, which is obviously not suitable. Which mods give more ships components? I'd appreciate any assistance. J.

Phoenix and Moosetek: Thanks. That cleared up a lot of things. J.

I'm busy getting the Stardock update program. So if I download the latest patch I automatically have the Collector's Edition? I thought it's a game version you have to buy off the shelf... J.

What's this modding stuff? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Howdy. I got SC2 a week ago, and I love this game. I'm interested in getting some new bits for my shipyard, but in spite of looking around on the 'net I'm more confused than ever. I have GC2: Dread Lords v1.0. Most of the good mods apparently need updated versions plus a "Collector's Edition", which I don't have. What would be ideal is a mod that runs on 1.0 and gives me extra bits, but I have no clue where to find such a thing or, having found it, what to do with it to make it work
