I understand the concept... I only wish that when a ship wakes up some popup opens, or it could be that the ship flashes or changes colour.

The error I got in my last sumbission is "(16) The result of this game cannto be submitted to the metaverse".

Reply to Are people winning at normal and above difficulty ? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I am currently very well positioned in my 1st game with 4 opponents at Normal. I think I could even be in a much better shape if I didn't "try" some things that I would never again, like NOT specializing my planets, building a couple ships just to see how they look like, etc. I started with Normal because I was so impressed by of the comments on how tough the AI would be. Anyhow, I still need to finish the game. I am

Reply to STICKY: EASY TWEAKS to make the game better for you in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

As a first thing, thanks a lot. to Stardock but also to all the GC fans!! I haven't been around for a while, so most of my thoughts were already pointed out. Here are my suggestions (or you can consider them my votes): - Individual ship data are currently not visible in the fleets.Should be fixed. - Auto-launch for ships should be available. - It should be possible to select the tile where thr ships pop out. - Autopilot should give an estimation of the

Brad claimed several times that the random events will occur less often in the final release. I was personally frustrated with a Galactic Recession several times in the same game. It's just a matter of waiting until tomorrow now!

Reply to Starbases and the Combat Viewer. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

yes, Starbases do appear (if you want to) in the combat viewer. You have to check (or uncheck, I dont remember) in the preferences a box asking whether you want battles to be displayed with fleet alone or not.

Reply to Naming your ships in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I am boring - I just use class names such as Fighter 008-008 for a hull 16 ship with 8 missile and 8 defenses. After a while I rename just a few ships (or Pilots) mailnly with tennis players names. Oughta switch to other sports soon... boxe. ski, track&field, ecc.

Reply to Galactic recession in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Great to know that in the final version we'll have some more money to spend. Strange anyhow such a big variance in the occurrences. Did anyone set his race to be "lucky"? Is randomness of events affected by this attribute?

Galactic recession in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm playing the beta and in the current game I am currently experiencing my third Recession period (in the same game I mean). Although it really requires you to change quite substantially the strategy you're using, adding therefore deep and complexity, it is anyhow annoying. Are you gamma people having the same experience or is it just me?

How can I keep the beta and start downloading the new release? in Colonies GalCiv2 Forums

I read in several posts that we can keep playing the beta while downloading the first pieces of the final GCII. So do I simply install into a new folder (assuming I check the "Prompt to enter an Installation directory" in the settings)? Did anyone already succeed?

I did start with OS/2. My nickname in this forum is actually a tribute to Stardock. Entrapreneur, Avarice, Links, the GC OS/2 expansions... I had them all. The whole company had such a fresh approach that it was impossible not to fall in love with them. :CONGRAT It may be naive, but It always looked like Brad was a friend of ours...
