I know it has been posted earlier, but can't find the post. The mentionned idea was to remove the red/green color in the trading screen, indicating that this trade will or will not work for sure. If removed, after some unsuccessfull attempt at trading, the AI could simply close the negotiation saying that you are wasting his time and remain unreachable for some time (affecting relations in long term). The idea is good and I hope it will be implemented. But as for the red/green

Could we have the ability to build fighter-carrier capital ships? One could add a "fighter bay" ship component to your ship, which would enable you to take a tiny or small craft with the fleet, without paying a logistics cost. And no additionnal engines would be required on the fighters (because they move with the carrier), leaving space for attack/defense. Nice idea. EDIT: oh, and why not make this new ship component available for star

Please add the ability to tell a planets shipyard to work on ship upgrades instead of building ships or doing nothing. I dont mind if it takes rather long compared to the current upgrade of ships (loads of cash + 1-2 rounds usually), but if you upgrade a lot of big ships it simply costs too much. Why not make use of them shipyards for it? 1- Good idea, and I would go further. How can a starfighter with, let say, 2 lasers upgrade itself alone, lost in sp

another thing. in the diplomacy screen, being able to send pre-determined sentences to the other civs. Examples: - "I don't like the fact that you just constructed a starbase in my territory" - "Could you please move your fleet far from my worlds?" - "One more step and I declare war to you" - "I hope you are not the one spying on me..." - "In the name of our friendship, please help us !!" - "I suggest you consider the option of attacking x eventually" - "Hey

Well, don't know if it has been mentionned before in this thread (too long to read), but here I go again: Problems to be solved --------------------- 1- Please, when tech trading is on, find a way to hide the available technologies of the other races. Because you just have to open the dialog window to know what techs the other civ has, and which they don't have ! And this of course even if you don't have any spies. 2- Same problem with the planets and the fleet they hav

Many nice ideas already mentionned. For my part : 0- (the defense thing for non-matching weapon) 1- Allow spies to sabotage starbases (weapon/defense or bonuses). 2- Allow spies to sabotage starports (increasing build time or reducing ships HP for those built on that planet). 3- Allow spies to "convert" starbases (make them yours after a while if not countered). You know, a spy taking control of a starbase after 1-2-3 years... 4- Have planetary space support. Everybo

Privateer rules. I always try to build this in priority. You don't have to ever bother about trading the rest of the game.

I do have it. Didn't know they had to have it also.

Alliances in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, a quick question. In my current DA game, I am "close" with 4 civs and have an Alliance with one of them. When I speak to the leader of the other 3 Civs, I can't choose "Alliance". Why ? Thanks !

If you don't want to put much into military, go with a Spin Control Center. Good idea ! Thanks to all for your answers

Reply to Display problem in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You can see if it's trying to BSOD by going to Control Panel->System Properties->Advanced Tab->Startup and Recovery, and make sure that 'automatically restart' is unchecked. Then next time it fails, it may give you a BSOD. Good to know ! I have a look. I haven't got the time to play for the past few days (moving, new job), but I'll investigate. They do have something called "ATI Tray Tools", and it mentions temperature

I did have some heat problem in the past. Do you guys know a good monitoring application that gives you internal heat and that kind of stuff ? I might not be a GC2 problem at all. I also found out that in the past few days, my PC seems to reboot for no reason (except maybe just for static electricity) There is something really weird going on !! Thanks in advance.

Display problem in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I experienced those issues so far : - DL : at some point, my screen became completly black, except from a small rectangle (my mouse cursor). While I was questionning myself, the game crashed back to Win. - DA : Yesterday, while playing my first game of DA, at some point, the mini-map became all messy (corrupted display). I tried to open the shipyard screen, diplomatic screen, etc.. but the minimap stayed that way (I even though that some spy was targeting me hahah. Woul

GreenReaper : hum, the key do exists (with correct values). The only anti-shit protection I have is AVG-Free. I reinstalled Script 5.6 just in case. I suppose I need to reinstall the game to see if that was the prob. The game works (at least to the options, haven't gone further). I did a clean install (never tried DA beta). I had DL installed for some time. The only thing that changed for DL is that I updated Tutorials, Movies and version moment before d/l DA. Let

I have a problem. The d/l is over, DA has been intalled automatically, but I can't run it. When I start the game (from my shortcut or from SDC), I get the Welcome screen with those options : "Install Game", "Readme" (not play). If I click on Install, I receive an error message saying : "Please run setup.exe on your CD, or install using Stardock Central" (which I did). I'm confused... Thanks

I received an email from sales with a serial number in it, thanking me for my purchase. the link in the email caused Stardock Central to run. I could see Dark Avatar in the update tree, but it had a big "purchase" button there... What does this mean for me? Does the site think that I haven't paid for it (I have, or I wouldn't have the email from sales)? Or is it simply not available to me yet? I was one of the pre-order people, not a beta player. I'm a bit confused, be

Reply to Expansion suggestion in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

When you talked about heroes you made them sound like spys and agents, I think that they are going to have that in the Dark Avatar expansion pack. I was indeed, but now with DA, I do see heroes like these : - Admiral : boosting fleets statistics; - Pilot : boosting single tiny-small hull ships; - General : boosting planetary defense on which they are assigned; - Spy : do what DA spies do, but better; - Assassin : elimitate opponents
