"ok your genes have delt you a bad card so what, bathoven was deaf, Di Vinci was gay and Autistic. If stem-cells and genectic engineering come to the future of mankind it will be the end of us. It is our weaknesses that give us the strength to move forward and reminds us of our morality if we cure all of these defections we will lose our flear and our indiviuallity. I want to help people going though deeper hells then I, but the way to do that is to accept them for who they were born to be, no s

BTW, check out this website: I am not kidding when I say I have visual snow; it litterally is like seeing through a badly tuned T.V. set. www.visualsnow.com.

I happen to have distorted vision, where I have "visual snow" all of the time. I am all for genetic engineering if it prevents dawns syndrome, etc. Anything to keep people out of Hell. Some people live in it every day. I am 100% for genetic engineering for perfect health.

Here is a good idea I just thought of: When you research a planatary improvement tech like soil enhancement or habitat improvement, don't automatically add all of that to the building quea (sp?), but instead, display a notice that the planet has unused building choices when it comes up. That way, you spend to upgrade one planet tile at a time on your planet before then building a new improvement on that tile which makes sense.

Reply to Galacticic civ 2 gold +problem with gigantic map in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Now that you mention it, my 113 hit point huge hulled ship with disruptors and invunerability field did go down to 111 hit points once as the drengin in my game did have some decent missle tech. I think my total shield defense was like 45? so against missles, my defense should have been like a total of 6-7 if you go by the square root rule (do they round up or down on that one???). Ok, not invincible, just needs some tweaking. Have you tried out the new patch, Belanos, to confirm that the fog

Reply to Metaverse cheat bug???? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I haven't yet played on a gigantic map and don't intend to for the near future. I don't like my games going on forever. I am just trying to get more Metaverse medals. I think, however, that the "super defenses" bug is already on the patch I have as my invunerability field shields protected me from everything. Granted, I was playing on beginner where the opponents had a max of 3 attack for mass drivers. However, I do remember one of my "ubber ships" taking a decent amount of damage when it w

Metaverse cheat bug???? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I just finished off a metaverse game with DA 1.5X. Fairly standard, like 5 opponents on beginner (yeah I know I will be setting the difficulty higher soon). I was the Korath, and killed off everyone with spore ships and ubber ships (probably getting help by the off defense bug - my ships did seem fairly unstoppable). Anyway, the game posted to the metaverse, but didn't record due to a cheat flag which I found out from the charcter game summary in my profile. I certainly didn't mean to cheat!

During ship combat it would be kind of neat if you could put transporter modules on your ships like in Star Trek to beam away teams onto a ship in an attempt to subdue the crew and steal the ship!!! This idea is kind of out there, and I have no idea how it would work but I thought I would post this idea. Also, for the love of God, improve the animation with ground combat!!!! Make the soldiers look like the default races at least, and change weapon effects to reflect technology level

Reply to Defence now IS too powerful in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

What I mean to say is is that if you have superior technology, you should be practically invincible. If you are equal in tech, then yes, your shields should be countered with high powered mass drivers, missles, or super beam weapons. Are we all complaining because the computer can't punch through invunerability fields with lazers???? Invunerability fields should be invincible to lazers in the same way that a M-16 is superior to a caveman's club. However, if the computer has phazors or the doo

Exactly why I turn off tech trading. The game is so much better without it, although diplomacy doesn't seem to be used alot. If you have superior shields, your ships should be nearly invincible. Star Trek comes to mind. 'Captain they've apdated!!" In reference to the borg. Your options when facing a ship with superior shielding is to build up your mass driver and missle tech, or hurry production of your own invunerability field or superior shielded ships, beam weapons. What would be nice t

Make Planatary Invasions better and more exciting!!! I am tired of seeing the same soldiers and big happy meal boxes shooting at each other! A few simple animation changes would make ground combat funner to view. For instance if you have phazer technology and your opponent has lazer tech, it would be nice to see your soldiers firing their green beams against the opposition's weaker red beams. Also, make the soldiers actually look like the race if you are playing with a set race.
