Reply to v2.2 - Top 5 Systems in GC4 that need fixing in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="PaulLach" reply="14" id="3916946"] This would be similar to the concept of a maximum "mass" for ships that can be increased by researching the appropriate technologies. The game does not restrict how you use the available mass, it just enforces the maximum limit. [/quote] I don't think you need to limit the number of modules on a generic star base. You want to build a super complex fine, but remember the bigger it gets the more of a target it becom

Reply to Freighters have an annoying quirk in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote]do not have enough trade licenses then it stops at the end of each turn. [/quote] I found sending stacks of freighters rather than individual helps with this, and sometimes gives you negative trade license. If you have 3 free license and a stack of 6 freighters arrive at a world, all 6 establish trade routes and you see -3 licenses. But yes this is a pain.

Reply to Starbases seem too vulnerable to volley attacks, defense upgrades don't seem to do anything in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

After looking at volley a bit more, it hit me that volley is trying to fill the role of tactical combat. Get rid of volley. Allow battles to be fought with the player controlling his ships (tactical combat), and give the player the option to auto resolve the combat if they want before or during the battle. MOO2/ISP has this down solid. I want the option to fight the ships I design, not have the computer do it, and fail to understand the intent of the ship.

Actions for flag ships from the upper right fleet menu? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I find being able to send a colony ship to a planet on the planet list very useful, that got me thinking. The fleet icon on the upper right show when a flag needs to be upgraded. You can look down the list and see which ships specifically need upgrading. 1. You can't sort the flags needing upgrade to the top of the list. That would be nice when the list gets long. 2. You can't open the upgrade menu directly from the fleet list. 3. You can't apply it

Reply to Fleet repair ships should come sooner/Repair should function like Sentry in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote]Also seems like fleet repair options should come sooner in tech tree, but maybe I'm just not beelining to the right tech fast enough. [/quote] I have been trying out running the tech to get sovereign immunity quickly, and using the flag battleships to spearhead civ invasions, so I have battleships 'early' in the game that level quickly but get 100s of points of damage each. I also would like to see repair ships come long before you need to research battleship t

Reply to Long pause between turns when finishing tech in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="3" id="3915895"] Sorry, the only hang I've ever noticed is 10-30 seconds after selecting new tech to research. [/quote] You might be on to it, it feels longer when there are more players. I also noticed the splash screen on startup (galciv4/supernova) pauses for awhile now before starting the video. It is starting to remind me, of how I would wait about 20 minutes for Close Assault, a ~32k-48k game to load from cassette tap

[quote who="perrya555" reply="10" id="3915568"] Well what do you say? [/quote] My problem is GPU maxing out and the game slowing to a crawl. But I did have heat issues. I point a desk fan at my laptop (from the side) so the air flows under and behind it, and clean the laptop intake vents every few weeks (crazy pollen/dust issues). Those two actions have solved my heat issues.
