Look if you have to ask about the Pink Space Ponies then you will never really understand the PSP. Just know: they are here to make the universe a better place and spread the power of the rainbow!

Reply to Moving a capital in Strategy Sins Forums

Lord Almighty Smacksim, did you just whip that up off the top of your head? lol Yes, though I haven't used it one could assume that on large maps during the late midgame or late game, it might be prudent to centralize the capital. I wonder how designating an asteroid as a your capital would change things...

Creating fleets - Advantages? in Strategy Sins Forums

What are the advantages other than organization for fleet formation? Are there any bonuses? Would a group of selected ships versus a selected fleet of the same ships perform any differently?

[quote]My investment in games likes these is the only thing keeping me on Windows....[/quote] And don't you know Micro$oft knows it too, lol That's why they've poured da big bucks into games, games development and platform development I've not tried WINE in Linux but I doubt that it will run well. You could try something like VMWare or the free VirtualBox but the game (or any game) will probably not run well. The game works quite well on a partitioned MAC (aka Bootcamp)

Yes it does, thanks ScourgeOfGod. What would really make this game have legs is to have a tool where users could create custom fleet skins. I know Brad had something like it for GC...

Factions: What are they? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hello, I'm new to this game and so far I've seen only two factions: TEC and Vasari. I've seen another mentioned as well. Will these be the only factions? It seems each factions has its own tech trees and ship design. Is faction creation/design for modders only? thanks!

Yes quite borkalicious. In fact, the tutorial is so whacked, I put off playing. Now I love the game and want to marry it.

Reply to Unsolvable crash bug? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Nuts. I've disabled 'automatically restart' as you've suggessted Kryo and the computer crashed again, restarting without any BSOD! grrr.... I did look at the event viewer and saw a DCOM Error in the system log around the time of the crash: "The machine wide Default Launch and Activation security descriptor is invalid. It contains Access Control Entries with permissions that are invalid. The requested action was therefore not performed. This security permission can be corrected usi

Reply to Unsolvable crash bug? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The game does a hard crash, randomly, and the whole system reboots itself. There is a 5-10 lock-up, stuttering of music or sounds effects and then the system reboots itself. Then it does a system check to repair bad sectors. I didn't post the whole thing since there were no extra lines added after the crash. I made note of the number of lines in the code and no extra lines were added after rebooting from the crash. I also didn't see anything unusual in the log other than the fact th

Unsolvable crash bug? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Upfront: I'm on a dual boot MacBook Pro, partioned (of course), Windows XP. The video drive is a ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 and the driver for it has a stamp of 3/2/2006. I know this is not really supported but I thought I'd throw this out anyway... I tried using the SmartException program but when the system crashes it doesn't seem to log anything from the crash (?) I've got the latest drivers of BootCamp (1.1.2) and it looks like the same driver as before. I guess getting

How can I make sure Devs are aware of my fantastic idea? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

My idea is to allow for bonuses on placement of complimentary structures in adjacent tiles on planets. This would add a slight layer of strategy to an otherwise pure eye-candy exercise of structure placement (other than the random bonus tiles).

Reply to Newb question alert! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

1. We turn the constructors into dinner plates and silverware and the colonists into lunch meats. 2. Please build as many farms as possible to make the colonists plump and juicy. 3. Every tech you develop should be made with one goal in mind: how can I grow fat colonists? 4. Don't worry about that, just grow your colony population. 5. Just build farms and keep it simple. 6. Spend as little time as possible except for strateger
