A CHALLENGE, for anyone who wants to accept it

from Stardock Forums
Build me starbases. I want to see a screenshot of a sector where every square not occupied by a star has a starbase in it.

The first one to post such a screenshot wins $1,000,000 bc from me as soon as GalCiv goes multiplayer. :) An extra $500,000 if your starbases are upgraded to the BIG starbases.

(I thought of trying for this myself, but damn I'm too lazy. And I have kids.)

I feel that Dearmad's important achievement deserves a bump. ;)

The Arcaeans have some constructors you can borrow if you need some:

Aww, you poor dear... don't be mad. ;)

You're our fifth highest scoring player, so you're important. You're important until you're dead, or until I find somebody better.

(500,000BC in multiplayer to the first person to identify that movie reference... c'mon, it's sci-fi and easy ;))

"The quote is a bit off. Starship Troopers."

Yeah, shut up, I know. It was close enough to be recognizable, which is all that matters. Bonus BCs if you can name the actor (well, the actor who said it first... IIRC, Rico uses the same line later).

;) <-- add that after the "shut up" comment of the last post, to properly understand the tone. :)

Bingo, well done. I really like Ironside... did you know he does the voice of the main character in Splinter Cell? He does a really good job, but Michael Ironside should not be reduced to doing computer game voice-overs. Somebody get that man a movie!

Heh...honestly, I could have done without him as Sam in SC. Everytime he spoke I pictured that shiny head and couldn't mesh it with the hero in front of me.

How do your ships travel through the sector? My ships don't seem to be able to travel over starbases.

"My ships don't seem to be able to travel over starbases."

I stack ships with SBs all the time; that shouldn't be a problem...

"Everytime he spoke I pictured that shiny head and couldn't mesh it with the hero in front of me."

That took a few levels to get used to, yeah... still, I was impressed that they hired someone reasonably well-known for the role. Usually the voice actors for games are no-name folks from off the street.

Then why, when I have a route that may pass through a starbase, do they go around?

Dunno... can't say I've seen ships do it voluntarily, either, but if you give them a direct order, they WILL do it.

Several times (more times than I'm comfortable with) I've seen ships stack on systems (not in orbit). Now that can't be right, can it?

"I've seen ships stack on systems (not in orbit)."

I've only seen that once. My survey ship found a Scout within an anomaly, and it spawned on top of a star. Freaky... and you just reminded me to go post that in the bug thread. :)
