Glad im only 64bit, not dual core. had to disable cool n quiet, it was ramping down clockspeed mid-game and causing some horrible fps spikes. From 1,8ghz ro 750mhz and things would just die. *shakes fist at amd*
It's automatically installed for pre-order owners during download isnt it?

Doesnt look like my toaster? Ninjas > Pirates!
29 is the max i've seen. I was ok on production (had 3 worlds capable of pumping my huge sized ship of the line in under 10 turns). Turned it into a cash cow. 200k money piled up quickly! My god I've never broken 100k before in Galciv1 (In fact I dont think I broke 10k lol). Insane!
I had problems resizing at first but only due to being retarded. Crashed 3 times in a half hour last night but PC had an uptime of 4 days, restarted and reloading fixed it instantly. No more crashes!

isn't the power based on its total attack, defence and hp, or some combination and calculation of such? not how high tech the ships are or how many you have I think.
Throw a ranger in their. last one I found had 24mass defence and 48mass attack. IIRC that will soak 8 damage from beam or missile alone! Really good find early on.
Don't forget to modify your economic spending in times of peace to give a research or social production bonus. 40 turns running at 60% research spending can give you quite a boost early game.
Ireland!
Had a couple of instances in diplomacy being called "The [TheirShortName]" or some such but it hasn't happened since my first game. Didn't get any screenshots im afraid.
tax rate?
I manage a gaming center. Got laptop set up and running while im in work. joy!
I'd be happy just to see new hulls for each races nevermind a new style; Iove having 2-3. Would rather see 4-5!

had 4 influence starbases on my borders in my current game on normal; alarian influence (my allies) was massive, they got drengin, arcean and 2 minor race planets, while I had only my own 4 and earth+mars. Even then, had to war with them as I couldnt hold their influence back. Would love to have seen the numbers behind it.

God your designs are crazy. Remind me of warhammer 40k type battleships, very large, blocky and almost gothic in appearence. Mine are all sleek and sexy and spiky.
A single crash in my 4th straight game while saving a game design. No problems, and the crash was more likely windows than the game! Its on 6x AA, no problems. X700 Mobility Radeon with newest Catalyst Mobility drivers.
I usually have "system" and "attack" ships (the moo3 in me talking!). Rather than adding engines to my system ships, I just bolt on extra defences. But I do enjoy adding a little "bling" to my ships!
That would be a pretty cool feature actually; One i'd happily be held to in game *I average 80% *
Oh. Approval rates directly affect your senate and war votes, so you DO have a reason to stay above 50% to guarentee that you stay in control of the senate and that you can rage/pillage/make them watch western movies as you please
I was also missing them at first, although the rest of the game worked perfectly. Redownloading worked fine however.
One thing; I cannot resize anything in shipbuilder. Very odd. Otherwise no problems at all with the whole game.
They always threw money at me in Galciv1 when I was more powerful. Something about admiring me (whether I was good or evil). I think it was just to salve their conscience before asking me for free ships when the "minor" races came along and started kicking their arses. Was playing earlier and the I-League had a good 20+ death Knights :O thats tough to beat without dreadnoughts!
10 hours 2 minutes 17 seconds!
3D Studio Max, maya or Milkshape at a guess
Busted? IIRC it was brad that suggested it
