Reply to Installing Cell Phone Applications in Gadgets & Electronics JoeUser Forums

I know that there is an application called "Motorola Phone Tools" that works with almost all Motorola phones and comes with drivers for them. It is not free, however. Right now, the cost of the appilcation is $29.90 and can be purchased at Link . I don't know if you were willing to put money in it, but I have used Phone Tools before and it is a great program for people with

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II v1.3 BETA 1 change log in GalCiv Journals Stardock Forums

Thanks for the GREAT update, Stardock! I am glad that the Galactic Privateer got fixed and that production after a load has been fixed, too. I love seeing that the AI is updated! We can tell that you guys love your game. I can't wait to try out Dark Avatar! I pre-ordered and am eagerly awaiting getting my hands on it. I would like to say, though, that I agree with dthought in that I wish the Planet screen would show the correct build time when you go from building nothing (where

Reply to 3D Rotation Will Not Stay!!!!!!!!! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Its always a good idea to make sure the problem is actually a bug (by at least asking, if not researching yourself) before coming to the forums and screaming "OMFG TEH BUGZ!!1! MUNNY BAK, MUNNY BAK!!!11!!1!!" In this case, your problem isn't even a bug. It would have been a design decision to make the camera always snap back. Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean its a bug. I read

Thanks for keeping us informed. Get the beta out when its ready and when you guys are ready. We can wait! Enjoy your weekend! Huckdogg

Reply to Eliminating the forums in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have to toss in my two cents and say that I also like the forums. I have had my problems with them, but overall, I like coming to the Galciv2.com site and looking at the front page news, checking the journals, and browsing the forums quickly. I do this just about every day, and sometimes multiple times a day. I also like the medals system that is tied into the metaverse and the fact that these forums are in the same system as JoeUser. These forums are very appreciated. As much as I like A

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II 1.2 released! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I have written to SD on several occasions about the issue with the Mouse not working in the corners and received a mail back telling that the Mouse pushing into the corners of the screen could not be fixed in 1.1 but would be fixed in 1.2. During the beta of the game, this was a major concern for me, also. I was so used to using edge and havin

Reply to No mini-expansions, big full expansion instead this year in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

The campaign is not the primary focus. Where was this implied? Note to self, never mention any expansion pack details until we're ready to release the whole announcement since people will read in all kinds of things. My apologies, Frogboy! My understanding was that the campaign would be a major focus of the expansion, by including two new

Reply to No mini-expansions, big full expansion instead this year in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I think creating an expansion that focuses on a new campaign as its primary focus is a mistake. I've never been one for campaigns in TBS games, they are too constricting. I'd much rather you focus on improving the United Planets, epsionage and other game mechanics. I hate to say it, but I agree with waitingtoconnect. I am sure lots of people h

Reply to Random Events ROCK! [potential spoilers] in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I got a message while playing my last game on 1.1 which said that a new movement had swept through the Yor. They turned from an evil race that was wary towards me to a good race who befriended me right away. I thought it was awesome!

Reply to Features Desired (or I can't Find 'em) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I love the game, but I also agree with the first 2. I believe in Galciv I you could see where the planet was located relatively easy in the planetary production screen. Also, not only is it hard to upgrade ships in a stack, but you have to move constructors to a tile by themselves to get the "Construct" button to show. Maybe 1.2 could address these issues.

Reply to Multiplayer Web Poll in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I voted yes, simply because anything that Stardock releases for Galciv II, I will purchase! Pretty lame, I know, but that's how it is! I just want to give my support. I mean, I have donated $20 over paypal for lesser programs. Stardock deserves my pizza money as much or more than any other company. I probably won't play multiplayer that much, and would rather have SP content, but I would pay $20 for any expansion. <img src="http://images.stardo

Noob Question: Where do I find this "journal" or "history"? In SDC, click on Galactic Civilizations II in the games list. Info about the game will appear in the bottom frame. You should see a button that says "History" in the top right corner of that bottom frame. Also, the journals are o

Reply to A victim of ones own success in Game Journals JoeUser Forums

My sympathy. It suprised me how many people didn't know what a beta was. I thought any gamer should've known that. Haha, I totally agree. I read the GalCiv II forums very often, and its funny, but almost every time that Brad writes one of these interesting articles, I can pinpoint the exact forum topic

It's a Beta FFS. At this rate they'll stop providing them. Exactly! IT IS A BETA!! It will be buggy. The WHOLE purpose of it is to find your crash bugs, ships out of range bugs, Ctrl N bugs and every other bug that us peons can find before they release it as final. You are testing this patch, so i

Reply to Regret buying the game? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I really like this game, but saying the AI is good or top notch is 'insane'. Only two types of people will claim the AI is good: 1) Those that can't play very well (the AI was great before I started pumping out colony ships fast and grabbing resources and stuff, now the AI stinks to high heaven) 2) Fanboys and people who be

Reply to there should be a limit to the number of starbases u can build in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I thought the number of starbases you can build was linked to the logistics ability. It is, but once the number of starbases exceeds your logistics ability, the next starbase will cost over a 1000 BC to build. So its possible to exceed your logistics number, but it costs!

Reply to Anyone saw pirates? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, I have seen several games where I got a popup saying that there were pirates in the galaxy, but I have only been attacked by them once. In the game I am playing now, the Terrans are at war with the pirates, but I haven't seen any yet.

These changes look amazing! I love the option for blind exploration, the new ship builder improvements will be heavenly, and the fleet manager is a godsend. I can't wait to get my hands on the beta version! Good job, Stardock!!

Reply to Major problem w/game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Actually, while I disagree with him on the specific issues he mentioned, the original poster does have a point; GalCiv II needs a lot of improvements. For instance, I'm disappointed that I can't pick wallpaper and furniture for the inside of my ships. Also, I can't manage the crew member's individual happiness, or watch th

Reply to Major problem w/game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I think the main point that many people miss is that they were not FORCED to buy this game. No one made you spend your hard-earned money on Galactic Civilizations II. All of these "Major Problems w/ Game" are design decisions that you could easily have found out BEFORE you bought the game. If you don't like the way the game handles certain aspects, then don't buy it. Granted, Stardock is ALWAYS open to suggestions, but no one has any right to decla

Reply to Speed of the Freighters in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

So what your saying is that once the route is established, the ship is no longer neccessary? Boy. That was a big concept to miss. I build a ship for every trade route, and leave it on the route... one ship per route. So I can build just one freighter and send it a bunch of different planets to establish trade routes? <
