I agree. I would love to see both of those ideas go into GC III.

Reply to A quick tour of Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Being a new player, I bought the Ultimate(For once I did not write "Ultima" from having too many Lord British flashbacks LOL) Edition I have to say that this is worth every penny. I LOVE the keyboard guide! One question though, I see that I have it registered under Impulse. If I ever lose my disc and have to reinstall it for some reason is it like Steam to where I can download it without paying twice?

Reply to mining questions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have just played since last Friday so I am no expert. I send my flag ship to the anomalies and collect money, economic bonuses or what not. I send my mining ships to asteroids and they automatically build mining bases. I could be wrong about this but it looks like constructors build only and upgrade starbases. I bet some of the vets here could give a lot better advice than this! Hope ya figur

[quote who="LTjim" reply="2" id="2127231"]Have you tried the all colonies spreadsheet screen? It shows each colony, if it has at least one ship in orbit, how many total tiles and how many built upon or building and how many empty, what improvement is under construction and also what ship design. Additionally, it shows the mil prod, the build prod, and the res prod, and which one (if any) has been tpggled for focus. From that screen, one can build an improvement and

Another question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, I did a small galaxy and got the basic hang of it. I was the Altarians and the other civilization was the Terrans. One thing I'm wondering is how do you guys and gals keep on top of all your planetary projects in the larger galaxies? I looked and did not see any option to let the governors choose their own projects. And for an Ascension(That was a great DOS game by the way!) resource, is that picked up by a miner ship like an asteroid? <p

Well, after a year of not playing from real life issues I bought the Ultima Edition last night. I started playing on small galaxy to get feel for the game at 1 in the morning and next thing I knew it was 3:00 AM!!!! [e digicons]:omg:[/e] It was like I blinked my eyes!!!!! One thing I cannot figure out how to do is to queue ship building on a planet like I do with land structures.

Noobie Question in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

First of all, I want to apologize in advance for asking a really dumb question but I am stuck. How the heck do you advance enough to be able to make more than 2 research structures? I have 2 military and 2 civilian but I cannot research anything else because I need 3 research structures to go on. Even logistics is asking for 3 structures. My construction frigates can make hangers and stuff like that but the research structure option is gray. If anyone can help I would greatly appreci

[quote]There's times when a planet is DIRECTLY beneath another planet. I really really hate that as it makes it nearly impossible to click on anything in the lower planet's grav well.[/quote] LOL, I remember in Ascendancy sometimes a planet would be right next to another one and it was really irritating trying to click on the one behind the other. I had to do some fancy camera tricks just to get to it. :D

Reply to New Player Question in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!! This game is addcitive! :D I started off on a very small system with one AI like you guys said but the pirates are murder plus a not very friendly empire. I'm gonna start again but stay in one system until I'm built up and maybe not have pirates until I get the hang of it. I love how easy it is to learn but I'm forced to think.
