Though why you would go off planet to shop is beyond me. Isn't it obvious? It's because on the Starbase, you don't have to pay sales tax! And thus the thread comes full circle.

Can't attack planet in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm playing that campaign mission where you have to capture the planet Charon. It's currently held by the Dread Lords, and for some reason that completely baffles me I can't attack it. I have a fleet sitting there ready to take out the ships in orbit, but trying to attack the planet does nothing, just like if there were no ships in orbit. But there are ships in orbit, so I can't move a transport in either. I'm assuming this is a bug, though I guess

This happened in GalCiv 1 too. You can't trade with a race you're at war with, and you never could.

Reply to Terror Stars in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

They could put in stars for every emotion. The envy star could make a planet so desirable that every race immediately sends transports to conquer it. Anger stars could start a civil war on the planet, lowering production and decreasing population.

Reply to Ships from the forum in GalCiv II News Stardock Forums

The amount of effort that must have gone into that robot design is amazing. The most creative thing I've ever done with a ship design is put a "wing" on the top of the ship and call it "The Shark". The thing I don't like about ship design is that you have to either do it, or accept the fact that most of your ships will look pretty much the same. I like octaviusviii's idea for "CF" ships, though. Put a bunch of those in the Library, and that problem

On the tech screen, sort the techs by time left. Select one of the ones lower down and spend a few weeks researching it. It should move up the list, but it stays right where it was.

Reply to Cargo-Battleships? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'll confirm that. I thought it would be good to strap a laser onto it, so it could help out in the fight. I wasn't thinking about the numbers and the "which ship to attack" formula.

You can also load the entire population of a planet onto a big enough ship, leaving the planet with 0 population. No cheats required for that one.

Reply to STICKY: EASY TWEAKS to make the game better for you in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

The minimap options to show a planet's manufacturing or population are mutually exclusive. Of course. But those two are also mutually exclusive with the option to show influence on the minimap. Why? It's really annoying that I'm not allowed to see influence and planets at the same time.

One minor issue where the zoom level changes when I didn't want it to. Nothing that affects the game's playability.

I think it's stupid for GalCiv to have democracy at all. How do you expect to sell the game in China?

Reply to Compaign: Siege in Strategies Stardock Forums

I just won Siege totally by accident when the Drengin surrendered to the Yor, giving up control of that key planet. I was holding my own against the Dread Lords, though. I was using fleets of ships loaded with a high-level Mass Driver weapon that the Arceans stole the plans for when they took back one of their own planets from the Dread Lords. I was on my way to developing lasers just as powerful, though. I got the ships up to a really high level,

Reply to Honestly confused by food in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

It can be poorly expressed without being incorrect. While I (and, I expect, most people who read it) understood it just fine, we have evidence that at least one person (simulcra) thought it was ambiguous. When you're talking to humans ambiguity is largely a matter of perception, so if someone thinks it's ambiguous that probably means that it is. And ambiguity breeds confusion, which is never a good thing. Also, the adjective "poor" is ope
