I think what the problem is that there is no utalization of the star in this game. That can be a sore point to any true scifi fan I just love the ring worlds and sphere worlds of SE4

Reply to Throwing this idea in, in Diplomacy GalCiv2 Forums

Hmmm yeah that would make sense... But then that presents another problem. Since all the ships are different, how will I know that the ship I'm fighting belonged to another empire? Or is the AI going to stick to certain designs so I can see a pattern?

Reply to Simple "puppet states" system? in Diplomacy GalCiv2 Forums

All this talk reminds me of SE4 diplomacy (Space Empires 4 for the less intelligent ) Where you could demand for weaker civilizations to enter into agreements with you. From outright surrender to co operative ones, to ones that were a bit more one sided to your benefit but allowed them to exist unmolested <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="abs

Throwing this idea in, in Diplomacy GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I know diplomacy is far off, but using galciv1 as modle I believe you will be able to trade ships. Now what I wanted in galciv one was to have your ship graphic not change when you give your ship to another empire, just have its color change. That way everyone knew who is suppling who with arms This is interesting concept, but didnt generate any debate. Now I pitch i

Reply to A different budget allocation system? in Economics GalCiv2 Forums

Well biggest problem is no one knows exactly how the system works right now. I mean if you do plz let me know! Either way and I'm only mentionign the unclean game for a point, Moo3 had an efficency system, it made the whole budget allocation more barable, but I hate sliders. Funding levels seem more accurate with a maximum funding lvl, cause 100% it just isnt realistic. And 05? Wouldnt that cause the infrastructure to dissipate? My biggest problem is that my colonies

Complaints with race creation in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Let's start witht he way you pick your abilities. You got one side with scrolling of 10+ option, but inside each of those there is only about 3 options :/ I think you can fit all your options on one screen if you redesign it a bit and you wouldn;t have to scroll around. This would especially benefit new players who don't even know whats there Now the other coplaint: Eve

There is problem with tech spacing most definately. I mean I was focusing on beam research. Now I was able to research a new beam weapon every 2 weeks What the hell? My average ship took 9 weeks to build. That's insane :/ I'll build a ship and already its guns are 4 generations behind.

Reply to Idea for Fleet Control tech in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

I read this under databank: Fleets. In (I) players could stack together ships and move them. Stacks of ships will still be there as a convenience but (II) will also have real fleets that will taken advantage of in combat. Fleet size will be limited by the player's logistic ability. So one of the many technological paths will be focusing on logistics. Big fleets of small ships or a few capital ships in a massive fire fight? Players will have that ability to

Reply to Idea for Fleet Control tech in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

Well from what Frog said yesterday, there will be a max number of ships you can put in a fleet. He said a "dozen or so." This is mainly because you want that little window that pops up (or rather will pop up) when fleets engage showing the minibattle to be fairly accurate. So since they still havent decided on the number of ships in the fleet that probably means its not coded yet so I picked a good time to put my idea forward. basically I fear that a fleet o

Idea for Fleet Control tech in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

Yes this is a wonderful idea, I call it my brain-child Basically we know there will be a maximum number of units in a fleet, I mean to keep the game sane of course :/ So I thought what if the number wasnt fixed but depended on another factor, like a different branch of tech? and the way it would be implemented is you would get a maximum number of comand points based on
