yeah i put the orbital use to limited. i also think that in the long run investing into quanta upgrades has better returns than nuking half a screen worth of cruisers every now and then. i am usually far ahead in quanta investments even if the ai has similar levels of quanta harvested. i don't mind the quanta nukes that much but i rally hate the quanta insertions of the small squads (which still exists with limited orbitals). @<a id="ctl00_ctl00__Content__Content__RepeaterReplies_ctl0

is it really intended that you can basically build endless harvesters? my go to strategy is to build an aviary next to every resource node (not necessary metal) and queue up unlimited harvesters: [spoiler] pic 1 [/spoiler] i basically build tall, less territory to defend, more income, use of heavily fortified p

some more gameplay observations: 1) the ai (on normal) seems to always send out small to medium armies, the frequency just increases in the later stages of the game when the economy gets better. it never seems to amass a considerate force, e.g. i never saw an army with 7+ dreadnoughts. this makes braking the enemy army rather easy as it does not use force concentration. 2) the ai does not really use fliers to it's advantage, e.g. i always have som

Addendum: The harvesters of the Substrate faction are real fps killers. I have 40-50 fps in high zoom (not the abstract map) and a medium army. however zooming onto an amplifier with 20+ harvesters drops my fps to 18-20.

New Player Feedback in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Hello i bought Ashes Escalation this week because of the sale. In general i quite like the game once you get into it; however i have some issues with it: 1) Graphics: Disclaimer: GPU: GTX 1060 6GB, 8GB ram, cpui5-4590, most graphics settings on ultra except AA which is turned off; avg 40 FPS. The amount of units this game can handle without fps issues is quite impressive my main complaints are towards the artistic direction, not the tech

Just a quick Ui suggestion: with all the sponsors for asteroids, stardocks and starbases the map becomes hard to read due to the many lines that show the sponsors. my suggestion: -make the line a bit thicker and not dashed (better to read) and hidden by default -only show the lines when the appropriate item is selected: -- click/select a stardock: all lines to the sponsoring planets are drawn -- click/select a plane

Starbase Feedback in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Great work with the patch Stardock, for the first time i actually enjoyed the game on a larger map. However i still have minor gripes with it: -in the starbase screen there is no shortcut to cycle to the next starbase, you always have to click the buttons at the top to cycle through starbases -some modules are ignored in the autoupgrade queue: fighters/interceptor modules and range extension as well as morale upgrades (this

Reply to Each Planet Should Only Get Benefit from One Starbase in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

i agree with the op. economic starbases just add boring passive economic buffs but they are such big hassle to construct and choose optimal placement. galciv2 was better this way as there was no minimum distance required per starbase making the placement much less problematic.

[Bug 1.3] synthetic population still broken in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I reported this bug now since beta. you can still go over the population synthetic cap making techs/buildings that increase it worthless. Screenshot from a new 1.3 game: [img]http://i62.tinypic.com/15ceyph.png[/img] edit: in case you are wondering how it works: transport ships (colony ships might work too, i got the population via the malevolent ideology point that gives you 4 invasion ships and parked them in orbit

some more points: 4) de-emphasizing production: the officer core i would like to see an officer core with number of officers and their quality. each ship uses a few of them and the better they are trained or gain combat experience the better they are. if you scuttle ships you get your officers back, if you loose it they are lost. if you have lot's of high production worlds that produce ship after ship, but lack a star-fleet academy in san

1) Map infrastructure and fleet gameplay: currently space feels a bit empty. the only infrastructure you build are starbases with most of them being economic ones that just provide boring passive buffs. i would like to build infrastructure on the main map that changes gameplay, e.g. 1.1: Movement infrastructure: warp lanes (basically roads in space), warp gates (teleport from gate to gate), jump gates (accelerate ships to a destination point but they cannot change curse until

[quote who="Goatmeal" reply="5" id="3553762"] Both malevolent tests were with only 1 habitable planet in the home system (my capital). The first colony is always in another system. The distance does not seem to be a factor as other nearby systems do not get this bonus. It is always capital and first colony.

Reply to Synthetic population in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

this has nothing to do with the op's question. morale affecting production is one thing that affects all races. being able to go over the population cap with synthetic races is another. imho this is a bug (i reported it quite a few times). there are a few techs and 1 building that increases synthetic population cap, but you can go freely over that cap without any penalties (at least i have observed none).

i just did this according to derek. i can't find his post anymore though. i would assume that it is ship designs or custom races or any other user data that is not compatible between 6.2 opt-in and the 6.2 release version.

[6.2] Did the game became more unstable, or is it just me? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

in comparison to earlier 6.x opt-ins i don't get any semi predictable crashes from invasions, but it the seems to crash much more often. it almost always happen when i have something idle (planet/ship etc.) and click at the idle x button in the lower right of the main screen. i never had these problems with the 6.2 opt-in, this was very recently with the 6.2 release version. the 6.2 opt-in was very stable for me. i also made sure to start a new game. <

you can see the population cap in the planets population display (population current/maximum). be aware that the cap was not working with the 6.2 opt-in. i have not tested if they fixed this bug with the 6.2 release version (you could go over cap via transports and assembly projects).
