I believe the question should be. Is this evil pond scum the scum at the bottom of the pond or is it the scum floating on the top of the pond?

Just built a new machine and i just come across this same issue. I never noticed this issue on my old machine Quiting the game and reloading fixes the minimap. debug file Debug Message: Version v1.2 last updated on: Mon Jun 12 18:04:26 2006 Debug Message: *********DXDiag info follows.********* System Info Time: 7/15/2006, 11:34:27 DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Machine Name: SHADOW Operating System: Win

o bakka! come to me arms, batty......... hey bud.. you're up late.

latest version is 1.2 and can be found in the interface menu, fourth check box down on the left.. "show Auto-pilot lines" I assumed it was checked on by default..

Individual Ai settings of Intelligent will give you the smartest ai without bonuses. All AI's at intelligent gives you a game difficulty of Tough. Don't use the Randomize Intelligence check box as there is a small flaw in it that could set some of the Ai's to brain dead... Bakka!!!

In the latest version the ship path is shown as a line on the main map with a small circle showing the final destination. You can see this line at all zoom level for the selected ship. If you have a high enough espionage level you can even see the AI's movement and plan your ambushes The ship window also tells you where it going to, either by co-ordinates or way point. Bakka

they are almost impossible to see on the minimap of gigantic maps

or If you are playing the metaverse you might have to open a saved game instead, Then do as Marcathonas suggeted but also take all engines, defences, sensors, and range extenders off. Leave the trade modual on and then it will appear as soon as you have the trade tech. Cause if you want to use it for another purpose then take the trade modual off. save this as your default name and new start a new game

three potential issues here 1. The focus of the turn button overlaps into the mini map and a click intended for the map activates the the turn button. (annoying bug) 2. Skip move on end of turn will pause game until you have moved the ship or fleet in focus. Turn will continue as normal. (working as designed) hint: Do not move any waypoints in this part of the turn. It will make your turn button go away almost for ever or until you can find ALL of the ships that wer

I've had this happen to a few games as well. It might be happening all games but i've only noticed it on a few. One game I was consistantly getting 4-5K bc a turn and up to mid game i was spending it almost as fast as i was getting it. Got extra tech of an AI and decided for once to upgrade my fleet instead of building new ships.. Was going to cost 48K.. 8 turns away cause I had 10K at that point. got to over 20K and the economy dropped to 2.5K a turn. I had to upg

hehe damn forum post delay

BTW is there a place in the program where it shows what patch you are using? main menu screen, bottom left will have the which version you are using..

the title was supposed to be CTDT.. oh and the forum edit doesn't work...

If you move your mouse wheel while in the credits screen the game will crash to desktop. using beta 2 Bakka damn edit feature

In GC1 every game had a seed code and this only allowed each game to be loaded to the metaverse 2 or three times and it over wrote the earlier score I expect that have implemented something similar this time around as well..

First off I'm probley causing this issue because I have a low end spec machine but I insist on playing gigantic games with all 9 AI's (I do have most of the pretty graphic options turn off or down.) I first noticed the issue two days ago when I was in a murdours mood and was in the process of removing the bio mass from the the map with my death machines. What is happenin

hmm yes governor.. aint got the same ring as Yes Minister.. Any way if your talking about the two select options on the planet governor. Leave them on unless you have a really good reason not to use them. One of the tick boxes will make the governer auto add updates to your buildings as soon as you have that tech (either researched or trad

damn i thought i could smell something.. arh gross.. scrap it off

damn.. i didn't notice that..

It works it is just the refresh of the planetary screen is not being done correctly.. After hitting the next button click inside the planetry map and it will update. well it did for me. Bakka

Lorent A few people have reporteed this and in almost all cases a reboot fixed the problem

as i said It works but i never use it. Well I've had this graphics card and monitor setup for near on three years.. The first driver I had for the graphics card could not go upto 1600*1200. 12 months later it could.

Can that be correct? I didn't know there was a screen or display card that could display more than 1200 pixels vertically. The max on my display is 1600*1200 That has only been available for about 6 months.. before that my screen and graphic card max resolution was only 1600*1200 . It was about two graphic card drive

Newsflash "Mean developer makes poor peon slave beta beater look like an idiot.."

Couldn't find a post about this I saved the game with the ship still in orbit around a planet. then when i reloaded the game i get this:- As you can see the ship and planet graphics are merged. I can select the planet and build new ships and goto the colony screen but i can't select the ship log file follows Debug Message:
