Reply to Vedrics anti-dumpster suggestion list version 1.00 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Vedrics as you can see the developers and other users are open to suggestions. While at the same time enjoying what the game already is. It is fun to explore what a game might become as we all help it evolve. But in the mean time could you possibly post your threads titles with a possitive attitude? It would be much appreciated. Thank you. ~SDC~

Reply to OH NO! I finally figured it out!! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Kjartan Mannes, Thank you, I have that configured. And so far am getting all updates. But you see I believe Brad is planning a seperate issolated group of the old testing croud to try major features over the next few months. And I got the feeling that maybe fixing this would be going through those that were only in the beta, gamma, croud first. Sounds like a major fix anyhow and will probably be implemented for everyone to some extent in the following week. ~SDC~

My perspective on owning this product, and welcoming those on the fence. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Let me pop in a comment here about post such as Gezz's where he stated he was going the extra effort to purchase this product even though he has easy access to boot leg copies. (By the way the final product is far better in game balance, I know.) I am right in the US of A. Lakewood just south of Tacoma Washington. And yet I am in a sub culture FAR removed from normal society. I have multiple disabilities. Mental illness and transient strokes. The people I associate with in person are i

Reply to Enemy colours too similar in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Mythor that is why i was suggesting grey scale type lines overlaying the races, its much easier to remember checker, 1:30-7:30 diagonal (imagine a clock face), 10:30-4:30 diagonal, Vertical, horizontal lines, checker diagonal, etc. Color blind or not you can see them. I also find settling on a set of names for the species helps to associate them. See if you can guess who they are; Blood-Monkies, Dweebs, Inbreads, Glub-Glubs, Mecha. :) ~SDC~

Reply to How to Create Music Playlist? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In my favorite media player "Media Jukebox" I do the following Click "File" Click "Export Playlist" Then choose M3U format and drop it in my C: root directory. As for making playlist in your favorite player select a few track and right click on them. You will usually get the option to make create a playlist. Then as BoogieBac says, after GalCiv is running click on "Menu" "Options" then sellect playlist. Personally I have other game music, jazz, Led Zep

Reply to Enemy colours too similar in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Purhaps all minor races the same color but with the first letter of their species stamped in the small dot on the mini map. I like many others only play the game after a days effort usually at the computer screen. So even for the not color blind it can be difficult but improved over the coming months. Purhaps diagonal lines vs waves as well as colors would make it much easier to distinguish. ~SDC~

Ctr+N ? & Ctr+R?? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I saw a quick reference to Ctr N I think it was said to be an undocumented function? Could someone elaborate what the actual effects of these short cuts have. Ctr+R is refresh sensors but how can I see a differance? ~SDC~

Reply to It isnt a United States Ship, so why does all my ships have the USS prefix? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It's a nod to the original Star Trek television series. Note the KABOOM.mp3 in the game is a phaser and the shape of the survey ship is like the enterprise. I was a little too vocal in the suggestion thread about the obsolete phaser sound. But a nod to a cultural rareity like that series that explored moral, political and emotional conflict is worthy from any science fiction effort like GalCiv. And the overall theme of Star Trek wasn't really Americanism, it was freedom. A glo
