Thanks!!

Hello all... I haven't played in a year.... Back then it was possible for me to upgrade a ship type without having to start from scratch. I cannot seem to do that anymore. Whenever I hit the upgrade button in the shipyard the selected ship is reduced to it´s hull and hull components. I lose everything else. Can someone help me?? Edit: I have GC II + DA + ToA

Does the color of stars influence the quality and type of planets you get? How so?

I really don't want to play through the campaigns.... But I am curious about the story in DL/DA/ToA... Where can I read it??

Hey!!! It's great that so many of you decided to contribute to this thread. Thanks all. There is something that I did not include on my first post: I am playing with the slowest tech setting. Maybe that is affecting the difficulty because it means that I need to plan ahead better and I have to put much more thought in balancing the economy, my technology advencements in every field and my military production. I am also playing with tech trading on, so maybe that is the

Well... It sure feels like a cualitative difference to me. The AI is much tougher!!! Any way, do you guys have any advice? Thanks.

Thanks for all the answers. I must have run into the Mega Event Telenanth event because the Altarians became suddenly unstoppable... It was crazy, made no sense and ruined a perfectly good game... So Alas, no more Mega Events for me.

I generally play at Tough and kick the AI all over the place with ease. I decided to play a Painful game (I edit the AIs so that they use the maximum available CPU capability) expecting it to be only marginally more difficult than tough. Yeah, right. Now SHE is kicking my behind and handing it to me on a silver platter. Am I right to feel that Painful is much more difficult than tough??? Can someone give me tips about how to deal with it? <p

Great!! I don´t mind that they are harmful... the problem is that I feel that they just destroy the game... I know they were made to "stir up" a game... BUT they do much more than that sometimes. For example with the "X race is going to become a super race" event. I even dislike the one you describe which increases planetary quality. It makes no sense whatsoever... And I do think the Jagged Knife is beneficial because it allows you to expand without going to war

I hate some of the MegaEvents (particularly the "superpowers pod" and the peacekeepers) so I am thinking of playing with them off. But there are other events I like (the economic ones for example). So before I choose, can someone point me to a definitive list of the MegaEvents so that I can make an informed choice?? Thanks all.

What is the exact effect of this ability and what does it mean in terms of game mechanics? Thanks in advance.

[quote who="CaptainYar" reply="10" id="2021754"] I got this after picking off the Drath legion very early in the game once. The Altarians, Iconians, and Torians all ganged up on me. Of course, they were on the other side of the galaxy, so they did a lot of wheel spinning, but not much actual attacking. This sounds like the Drath using their superability. Except that you say it happened after they were gone.[/quote] I think ethical alingment came into play here. The Dra

I can build better starships than theirs, but it seems they spawn again and again and come in ever bigger numbers when I clear them from my sectors of the galaxy. Can they be beat??

Yes it does. And I am saddened by it because the attach points of some of the jewelry make teh pieces quite useless. Too bad. Thanks anyway. Edit: Do you know any mods that will allow me to use other race's hulls as jewelry? I tried Kryo's and it didn´t work.

Yes I did all that. I have a question though. Do new pieces anly have ONE attachment point to thejewelry already in place??

When I am trying to design ships I run into a very annoying problem. The "attach points" on the jewelry are ludicrous!! I try and try to see if the jewelty will attach at other points, but it wont, and it makes it useless. Another thing is that a lot of the time not only does the jewelry choose weird and useless attach points, but it also doesn't allow OTHER jewelry to attach at logical places. What am I missing???

I know there is some controversy over it's in-game effect. Can anyone tell me how it REALLY works? Thanks in advance.

As the title says, I suck bad at waging war in GC2... I can´t keep up with the AI's ships coming from all over the place... Is there a strategy guide somewhere???

I have been playing with 1.99 lately and apparently this bug is fixed. :-D

1.99??? Y am playing with ToA 1.96, where do I get this latest patch??

Hello, I have aquired enough technology to have the Destructor Mark 12. Nonetheless, I wanted to make my own combination of weapons. I received a great surprise when I realized that ready-made ships are at least TWICE as powerfull in both attack and defense capabilities than user made ships. Does any one know why this happens?? Thanks

I am playing a ToA game on begginer. At the start I am strapped for cash. But sometime during the first 100 turns a "tourism" event fires and I get loads and loads of cash, guaranteeing that I will have no more economic problems ever. Is this a feature or a bug? Seems that it makes me way too powerful.
