Anyone made these ship designs yet? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

When I get a bit of time I will have a look through the library but the last time I look there was about 40 pages so any help would be good. I was looking for designs (defore I have a go myself) of ship that are made for specific jobs. Graphics / looks are not important. The sort of thing I mean is :- Planet Defence Ships - since they will sit in orbit and wait to be attacked basically all armour and weapons with no extras Home Soil Ships - since they will

Are the update problems fixed for good? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

What I mean is that whenever the next 2.x update is released and put on Impulse will everyone (Original game, EU, UE, downloaded, US Disks, EU / Kalypso Discs) be able to upgrade straight away or will there be the same delays.

The one feature thats missing from GalCiv but is in Civ IV in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Firstly I have UE so still using 1.97, if this has been added to version 2 then great, if not WHY NOT! In both games a real time clock can be displayed on screen but Civ IV also has a ALARM.

Galaxy options and types of game in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

When you change the Galaxy options (and others like the opponents) what sort of changes does it make to the game. I dont mean literly i.e. selecting a huge universe gives you a huge universe to explore. But more along the line of this set of options lends more to a combat game or that set of options is more a tech game. Also what is a good average / balanced set of starting conditions.

Some ship design questions. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

First I am running TA 1.97, I have the Ultimate Edition and version 2 is not out for that yet. 1) When you research one of the weapon techs they are usually split into four sections each section gives you a new weapon that does the same damage as the previous one but is smaller and cheaper. Do the ship designs (yours or built in ones) take advantage of this automatically and use the cheaper weapons or do you have to create a load of ships each with the new w

[quote who="kopema" reply="6" id="1971942"]It would be just as easy to make the uninhabitable planets only show up on the minimap. They are nothing but useless clutter on the main map. Maybe the developers just wanted to add a bit more random detail to what might have been otherwise blank screen space. But I wish they'd devoted more effort (and maybe a bit more screen space) to making the icons more useful -- things like indicating ship direction and speed, and mayb

What is the point of uninhabitable planets except for filling out the map a bit as there is really not much else there *. I mean the proper low class uninhabitable ones not the terraformable ones. * - always thought 'terrain' could be added but probably only to larger maps :- 1) Nebulas - limit your vision - modified by sensor tech 2)Asteroid belts - take damage for each square moved in an asteroid field (modified by shield tech), no damage for s

Just got home and tried my own PC, is says in my impulse account that I have no products registered so I dont think I will have any problems.

Then I registered again but this time I started Impulse manually and I dont think

So does that mean that basically the difference in the two is that with the UE (the one I have) I have the option of playing DL (sandbox or campaigns) with the original DL game engine. "(+ DL campaign from DA or TA launchers)" - I have noticed that in the UE you can only access the DL campaigns in either the DL or DA launcher, they are not in the TA one.

What is GalCiv II Endless Universe? The text on the box is a bit convusing :- "Endless Universe builds on the epic story, following on from Dark Avatar and Twilight of Arnor - two Expansion packs which have never before been released in European retail." Is it Dark Avatar and Twilight of Arnor by themself in one box or put another way is it the Ultimate Edition minus the original Dread Lords content. Or is it two expansion pac
