Terror Star gives me headaches ...

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi,

first post here, searched around, but didn't find anything similar. So here is my problem:

I'm trying to build a Terror Star, but everytime I want to build the navigation and propulsion module game crashes to desktop ... Am I doing sth. wrong or is it a bug?

If this problem has already been posted, please apologize. Thx in advance for any help you can provide.


That's the error report the game gives me:

Looks like the TS ship model may be missing/damaged, might want to try a reinstall.

Kryo, thx for the answer.

I already saw that in the last line, but wasn't sure about reinstall. I'll try that way then...

Regarding the Terror Star in the TA campaign:

After completing Terror station, objective is to destroy a planet. What action makes t-star destroy planet? Right-clicking only makes it move near planet.

Thanks

You can't destroy planets. Only stars, which then destroy all planets, ships, asteroids, etc nearby. New asteroids appear where the old planets ued to be.

Destroy the star by moving the terror star onto it.

"Destroy the star by moving the terror star onto it."
Yes, thanks, that did work. Now in the TA campaign the planet I am supposed to destroy by way of the terror star did in fact get destroyed but then when game ended it said DEFEAT because planet was taken over by hostile forces or something to that extent. Any idea why?

Thanks

Colonize a planet outside of that system. You got the DEFEAT msg due to no longer having a planet to your name. I took a planet to the 'north' when I did that mission.

THEN blow up the star.
