Pokerface, thanks! But no, they do't show up in my ship list. even when the tech recuirements are met.

ship designs in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Maby a stupid question, but how can I use ship designs (ship classes) from an earlier game with an other race? for example: Yestreday I spend hours designing a ship playing as humans (with the human ship style obviously). Today I would like to use the same design in a custom race game also using the human ship style. The question is: how? Thanks

Same here. Made a shipclass in 'game A' last night. This morning in 'game B' the design doesn't show up in the list although all tech requirements are met. (Same version of the game of course) This particular shipdesign took me a considerable amount of time so I would very much like to know how to recover it! Help please?

Indeed, once a trade route is established there is no need to do anything to upgrade it. It will just chug along at 1 parsec singing songs all the way.* *Note, you can o

Upgrade Freighters in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

OK, possibly (likely) a stupid question, but I can't figure out how to upgrade freighters that are already commited to a traderoute. If I click the miniature frighters traveling down the traderoutes the 'upgrade' buton is greyed out???? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Bunus pack problem!!! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

OK, after a short absence I saw in the download section that te bonus pack should be visible in SD Central, but it isn't. So I manualy downloaded the bonus pack (and the collectors edition content activation, which is working fine) . But after installing it: no bonus pack content to be seen in game... Am I missing something? (P.S. If this question has been asked before, I'm sory. Done a search... no answer)

Reply to colony development? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

OK Bitenc, I understand what you mean about needing the money. As for the manual: you could be right. I’m not at home so I can’t check on the parenthesis. Although the explanation given in the manual sounds very logical, actual in-game mechanisms might be changed / broken / bugged… Anyway, as I see it right now (but of course I could be wrong) given a set amount of money concentration of factories on one planet allows for very fast production, but one ship at a time, while

Reply to colony development? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Hey Justas5, that's exactly what I had in mind: first a mixed starting planet, then specialize.... Thanks!

Reply to colony development? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

wouldn't recommend doing that, or you'll face big money waste on social production queue on planet with factories. Currently unused social production is lost. Bitenc, according to the manual that's not correct. this is what the manual says: "Social Production, represented by hammers, is spent on projects. If you hav

colony development? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hi! I’m having some trouble figuring out what’s the best way to develop my colonies. One of my main questions is: do labs or factories need population/food to operate? I don’t think the manual says something about the need of population to generate production or research. If that’s true My guess is it’s best to use very specialized colony’s with production planets with nothing but factories (and a space port) with the odd entertainment network thrown in for good measure. The same

Devioustoast made some exelent points and the model he describes would be a great asset to the current way battles are handled. The question remains: can we create defenses like 2PD + 1S + 1A (for example) or something along the line. If so we could re-create Devioustoast’s model of ‘RPS with unequal payoffs’.

BTW, don't get me wrong. I'm not in any way 'against' Galciv! Both SE and Galciv2 are great games. They just take a different approach. Which one you like most is up to personal prefferences. I know I will like SE more because of the tactical combat, but having played Galciv (2) I know I'm going to miss the graphics (there, I admit it ), the diplomacy,...

Race selection?? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Just to be able to fiddle a bit with all the hull-types in the ship designer I started a ‘battle of the gods’-game last night. At first I didn’t notice because I started out as the humans, but I don’t seem to be able to select any of the other races in this game-mode. Is this a bug or a feature? Thanks.

Not ignorant, dumb seems more fitting I haven't got the time to download the tutorilas until last night. But is was to late to watch any of them by the time the download was complete. So i kinda was expecting some answer like this Well, now I know. Thanks anyway!

Reply to Changes to Weapons and Armor in Modding Stardock Forums

Yeah, I totally agree with Saber Cherry. But more options are pointless with the current battle model like Darkrenown2 said (but I certainly hope somebody can prove me wrong!). In fact, the whole ship designing thing may look great but it’s nothing more than eye-candy. The appeal won’t last long I guess. Then again, the real thing is coming up soon: SE V I hope (but serio

Mystery slider in ship design? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

In the ship design screen, below the 3D model op the ship and directly to the left of the parts ‘remove’ button there’s a slider. What is the purpose of this slider? No matter how much I slide the slider, I can’t see any effect :) Any Ideas?

Reply to The road to beta 4.. in GalCiv Journals Stardock Forums

No tactical combat? Nice for you since you obviously hate it. You can say all you want about MOO, but it at least gave you (like you said yourself) the OPTION to auto-resolve combat, or dig it out yourself. I don’t have the demo (and now I know I never will), so I don’t know how exactly fleets work. But I think a lot of people will at least miss the option to fight the battles for themselves. Tell me, what’s the point of being able to design your own ships i

Reply to Is DesktopX really that usefull? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

BoXXi, that's an extremely cool looking theme you've made! And it's really practical to. The only thing that keeps me from using theme's like these on a regular basis: the menus. DX is not capable of handling menus in the same convenient way as Object Bar does. Or at least I couldn't find a way to create more or less flexible menus with the ability to be controlled in an effective way by a hotspot (or touching the edge of the screen). But of course, tips are always more than welcome. <i

Hi Stumpy. thanks for the reply I’m really glad you think it’s just a matter of taste. You know, for a while I feared I was just missing out on something. I guess the DX kind of customisation is not my cup of tea. Now don’t get m

OK, I know I’m at risk being labelled as a troll for this post. But I really have to ask this: What the h*ll are people doing with DesktopX???

That said, I’m a huge fan of the Stardock products (renewed my OD subscription for the 3th time now). I’m an avid user of WB and I simply LOVE Object Bar!

This is pathetic ! (And I’m not speaking about MOO3) Do you guy’s realize that you share the same publisher (Infogrames)? Ever thought of the fact that MOO3 doing well could actually benefit GalCiv? Guess not. Someone’s showing what he’s really made of (again)
