I suppose one option that could also be nice, is being able to create a custom map with only stars, and the game randomising the planets. That way you could have a star pattern you like, while still having the uncertainty of a random map.

Yes, both docks are on the left side of my screen, and the magnification settings are under 128 pixels.
JMBDev, when I remove the dock, and create a new one, it works fine, but changing the magnification setting screws up it again. It is dock specific, so if it stops working on one dock, the rest do still work fine. If I right click on one of the tasks after it's stopped responding to clicks, it brings up the menu that would show if you clicked on the background. It's as if the icons aren't even on the bar. As for the system tray, it's exactly the same. Clicking and holding does nothing.
I have an issue similer to BluDev, except that it stops responding to clicks after I change the magnification size. It responds if I disable that option instead, but not if I change it. It responds perfectly fine if i enable the autohide, but not if I change the magnification setting. Edit: I'm running Vista Ultimate, by the way.
Press the number 2 button on the keyboard(not on the numpad).
I'd say Link would be my favorite evil ship design.
Put the files in My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\Metaverse\ships. They should work fine, assuming you mean the ships pack in the library.
What about the cost being race dependant? Bullets being cheaper for humans, for example?
I recall that sometimes(in Rome: Total War) when you did that, the computer player would say something along the lines of saying that you're not a threat to them. Never mind the fact that you'd just wiped out 5 other civs before them.
I've noticed that the way you've set the tech tree to sort the available techs to research doesn't get remembered when the screen pops up asking for the next tech to research. For example, say you select to sort the techs by catagory when asked to select a tech, when that tech has finished, the techs will be sorted as they were when you start a new game, but it'll still say that the techs are sorted by catagory. It's easy to sort out, simply swi
