nice research dark snathi (accurate trade research is so fkn time consuming) my only question is how nessesary is it to have the entire trade route econ starbaced? theoryetically having all the starbaces clustered will give your the same income, just all profit pretty much in one hit rather a nice constant income (i like the security of clusters, but then that always depend on where and when i guess) one small detail, "trade" bonuses (from government, race and teck)... these are

i play on gigantic maps mostly and find taxes are far to hard to get going properly, but trade (i find, mebey it complements my play style??) is much easier @ random50 what do you mean about econ starbaces? what else is their? as to the increase from passing planets by, i noticed that sometimes the income would increase for some reason and a couple of times i noticed this the freighter was near some other planet, but, it could be something else that i am not seeing

well that is a pretty open ended question, depends on lotsa thing like war and who is around me, how many opponents, how big the map is ect, but i find it very easy to get over 1000 and generally run it 1500 to 3000 by mid game in my present game im running trade at 1600,tax 350 and a surplus of 600, but ive been in the wars and the econ starbaces have been getting destroyed, but teh economy is healthy enough and ill have neurality centre soon enough

I noticed recently there have been some questions on freighters and trading, I had some of my own that i could not find some answers to, so of to research i go and here i am with the fruits of my labour Trading is a black art, damn, the math is complex and ever changing, i think i have got a reasonable grasp but this is curtainly not complete The 2 most important factors are combined population (target and source planets) and distance, in my experiments to get a somewhat de

i agree with all your points ... 1. the first point should be adressed, i cant imagine why it is still their, while not a big thing it takes some polish of the game (and is annoying) 2. i dont look at this stuff anyways, so i dont care but ... on a somewhat related note, in the espionage screens when i am looking at the infomation on another race, the tecks that the other guys have got is listed in a massive incoherent list, listing every single teck .... this should be cleaned up (me

Reply to Simple Solution to the Miniaturization debate in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

just a thought on the weapons sensor scaling ... that lazer you take from the tiny hull and slap on to the large hull, well tehy may have the same hardware (the actual bit that shoots) but the command and controll aspect is going to be so different. in a tiny hull (i think as them as a 1 man spacecraft, or at least few crew) the pilot will do the flying, navigating, shooting, ect ... but in a larger hull the pilots are in the command room with a crew manning the weapons a
