I cannot scroll left or up, while I CAN scroll down and right. This is when moving the cursor to the edge of the screen.

Never mind, different topic.

@ Jari and Zera Do you guys have 'show prereleases' on in the options of SDC?

Rats, couldn't keep my eyes open yesterday and went to bed. Oh well, I know what I'll be doing when I get back home from work!

Patiently waiting Boogiebac. 5.00 PM your time, would be about 11.00 PM CET. Just when I return from volleyballpractice, so good timing if you ask me

Yep, Ugleb is right. Take is easy pal. I'm sure it will be posted on this website when beta3 is out.

Looking good guys. Really hope to enjoy Beta3 later today. I like Lord Kiron's suggestions. Should improve the UI and not too hard to implement I suppose.

Guess I was too early or too late. At 23.00 CET there was nobody to be found Oh well, at least we have some new screenshots today and later on, Beta 3 itself!

Wow those textures add a whole new dimension to the game. Looks really great. Looking forward to Beta3, even without those textures. Lots of new possibilities to test out.

Would have loved to join, but I'm in a meeting this evening. I'm on CET time too. I might have a look later on to see if you're still there.

Asking Stadock Central to resend your serial did the trick for me. The serial I got from the resend was completely different to the one I used to have. Entering the new serial finally gave me access to the game. Very weird way to go and badly documented, but hey I can play

Sounds like a useful bug to report, but I think you have to give some more information so the devs can look into it. Please read CariElfs post about beta reporting.

That makes sense actually. The complete randomness of the homeworld in GC1, made a lot of players regenerate the galaxy till the finally had a nice quality homeplanet. This option will even things out.

Edit: doublepost (stupid internetconnection!)

Sounds like a cool idea AngleWyrm. That way you could easily access your favourite ships from former games.

Looking forward to that new techtree. Should be easy to top the old one.

Sounds like you're making great strides! I love the concept of freighters that can be equipped with defense. That ought to make raiding traderoutes much more interesting.

Ah the ' lookup serial' trick finally did it for me too, yay!

I'm still experiencing the activation bug too Reinstalled SDC, switch to California server and reinstalled GalCiv II, but still that stupid popup window! Does it have anything to do with the fact that I'm not installing the game into the standard directory? Besides that when uninstalling SDC via the normal route, it locks up all the time, so I had to manua

I like the solution they use in the Age of Wonders series. There you can chose for autocombat or tactical combat. That way the player can decide to either let the calculator do the job or do it himself. It does take a lot of programming to get a good TC AI going though...

Lots of great suggestions here. But shall we wait for the final game first and then go on and make wishes for a multiplayer variant? Only thing I would really fancy is PBEM

Well for GalCiv I Stardock even released a free addon pack, so who knows... I would love to have a PBEM option, but Galciv is so much fun against the AI that this is one game that can live without multiplayer.
