Also trade money is pretty much usless, less than 1000 BC a month wich is not even enough for 10 dreadnought maintenance cost, I keep seeing people post things like these and wonder how I consistently get 15 or even 20% of my income from trade, despite the fact I never take any racial trade skills. Trade income is absolutely vital, especially ea
Maybe that just doesn't suit your style of play. I found that Thalan Industrialists give me great results (once I'm past the initial spending squeeze).
You need to have the technologies that allow modules. For military bases, Starbase fortification, for instance. For Economy/Resource bases, the industrial techs are required, etc. Then build constructors and send them directly to the starbase you want to build up.
i was krnaking out tiny fighters in record time. Huh, with that lot you should be making tooled-up mediums in one turn.
I never used to use that, but decided to try it finally. Luck is the best possible value for a single attribute point! I'm considering stopping using it because it gives such a big advantage.
Ideas are cheap In fact on this forum, they're pretty much a waste-product...
Taking the "luck" attribute really helps too.
I've had great success playing the Thalans.
I see that each have their own bonuses and such You said it right there!
What are the stats of these uberpirates?
I really don't see what the problem is Jesus Christ, how many times has it been said in this thread alone? Here, I'll type in real big letters for you: THERE ARE LIMITED RESOURCES AVAILABLE. STARDOCK HAS ASKED IT'S CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE AND MULTIPLAYER WAS NOT THE WINNER. IT IS UNFAIR FOR THE MINORITY TO ASK FOR FEATUR
No need to quote me. First off, slow down a little. Your post is barely coherent. There are lots of people who will be happy to help you, but you need to express yourself a little more clearly.

I'm not in a minority Yeah... look at all the people agreeing with you!
Turin, you're neglecting the fact that while they may have lost sales because GC2 didn't have multiplayer, they also gained sales because the single-player is so good. Which it is because they have focused on it. I get the impression that MP is really, really important to you. Well that's fair enough. But to a lot of people its irrelevant or even an annoyance. BTW on a side note if you want to play alongside your friends, have a look at EVE-Online; it's a space-ba
An alternative with a single startport on a world with large production capacity would be to create as many ships per turn as you have the capacity for, where it would keep track of how much production capacity you have left that turn until you run out. Or a short Starbase Tech tree leading to improved starbases which can launch an increasing num
But, personally, I really don't understand the anti-multiplayer sentiment here. It's this simple: a vocal minority keeps whining and insulting those who won't give them their own way at the expense of the majority. So now, pretty much everyone else is sick to death of the topic.
There are plenty of people on these forums who can easily beat the AI at that difficulty level; I generally can too. I don't think it's cheating. On general principles, set up some trade with AIs who are likely to be hostile, and give them small gifts - this will buy you some time. Delay creating a large military as long as possible just make enough ships to be a deterrent in order to devote resources to an exponentially increasing economy. Early on you must really focus on getting goo
I'd really like to see resource-trading made available. For instance, it would be cool to be able to trade 25 points of military resource to one of my minor race puppets I mean friends, especially for a limited period. Or to buy morale resources... etc.
I'd settle for being able to being able to set my starport to "continuous production" so that if my planet has a military production of 400 and I'm building a design that costs 325BCr, that 75BCr are carried over to the next ship. This would be especially usefull when mass-producing constructors.
Loorn, it's great for you that you have the friends and the shared time to play this way. I and many others don't, and are very glad to find a game that gives such good single-player experience.
Yes, you must permanently sacrifice a tile which cannot be reclaimed. I often dedicate a mid-high PQ planet with no bonus tiles to warehouse my wonders in (I buy more than I build) so as to avoid cluttering more productive worlds.
I'm hoping that Diplomacy will be improved also. The current system is sketchy, but there's a lot of potential there.
