Thanks, Jafo. If I find the need to talk about Toilets in Space again I'll just start a new thread [e classic];)[/e]

Hi, I don't know how long my hiatus was (I missed the chance to be a GalCiv3 Founder), but I'm quite sucked into that game. Doing some typing related to the beta 1.7 made me start looking around at stuff and I have to forum functionality questions: 1) If the Forum Issues board deliberately not available at forums.galciv3.com or am I just failing to read the screens properly? 2) Is there now a policy that locks threads after a period of inactivity? I hit My Post

Thanks.

Still kind of hoping for an official/TPTB response. If the survey is mainly for the non-game customer base, that's fine by me, but I don't want to miss it if it's also intended to capture opinions from Stardock game customers. The 'UI' here is beyond non-intuitive, at least for me, because I've never seen it...

Mine dates back to Civ I. I played many games where I built the Manhattan Project mainly to add the piddly graphic to a single city's image, and I dutifully built a 'deterrent' infrastructure because I (still) have a vague respect for the MAD doctrine. But on one sad day, a stupid AI lobbed one of its scant handful of nukes at my realm and we retaliated by nuking every major city in that AI civ. Cocktails and college class deadlines were involved in the decision-maki

I saw a few pieces in the last week or so that were touting, yet again, 'the end of the PC.' Sure, ludicrous numbers of people are happily spending most of their device time fondling grease-smeared little screens, and even a few greasy screens large enough to be actually worth using to read or watch something. But that

Thanks, Dave. I'm still hoping for an answer from TPTB, or maybe just an update to that options page that explains what to expect with each one that you enable.

Ah, so the best trade routes are between distant troop or tax farms. Thanks, Marvin.

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="3" id="3093607"]E-mails are going out in batches, just keep an eye on your inbox. [/quote] I never seem to get any of these emails, including things like telling me to go get my FE beta if I want to. Did I do something accidentally in my profile to shun all email when all I wanted to do was avoid marketing clutter?

You need a serious numbers person to chime in here. I've never tested things methodically, but I've read lots from folks who do. From my reading of various threads on the topic, the trade route is it's own thing. The planets at either end are irrelevant except for their distance from each other. The Econ Capital only increases tax revenues on the one planet. The only improvements that boost trade income are on starbases, AFAIK.

Just curious--did the size of the thread finally get too large, or was it zapped for some moderation reason? Part of me is glad that it's gone because I can't believe how bad my regular time-wasting habit got there, but dammit, it had regular fun moments.

Banned for a definitely not kosher ban.

Banned because rabbits are a seriously sustainable species. Just add rabbit kibble, some veggies for treats, and water and ta-da, they breed like rabbits!

Banned because those wabbits look like a food crop, not a fashion crop.

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="41488" id="3088560"]Banned for paedophilia.[/quote] Banned for Anglophilia; seems oddly colourful for a nekkid brain with gun ports.

Banned because I should have known you cleaved to Scorpio, you saucy entity you.

Will that decision mean lower costs for customers compared to titles from other shops that still ship physical units?

Banned because you nailed the tip, or whatever, even though you claim to not understand. Do some more reading on the history of prudish garments and get back to us, you naughty-bit-o-phobe. Or better yet, join a local naturist club and work to replace your freak-out-about-bodies view of clothing with a wholesome appreciation of practicality and perhaps some affection for fashion.
