Reply to Fleets in orbit question/bug? 1.1 in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You cannot have fleets in orbit unless you build an Orbital Fleet Manager, then your ships will create a fleet only when attacked.

Reply to I HATE autofocus in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I don't find it horribly awful, but I agree the option to disable it would be nice.

Just go for doom ray. It's only a tech away

Reply to The case for changing excess production mechanism in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I agree with MoratLyssander. If anything, excess production should just be not charged. Otherwise, the slew of fighters that could come from one planet would be overwhelming.

Reply to The case for changing excess production mechanism in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I do remember somwhere the devs, IIRC, were strictly against the idea. Did you search the forums/ journals?

Maybe what luck does is just luck of the draw

Trade is very helpful. Like it was said, it's free money.

Reply to Social >>> Military .... why not Military >>> Social? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Military production is returned to treasury if not used, so can you not just increase your spend rate, effectively doing the same thing? Didn't seem too much of a hassle to me.

It has been discussed how the game overheats some graphics cards..... a broken fan definitely will not help.

Reply to Tech Tree in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

A link with all core designs and their requirements was posted, if you can find it. I know I saw it.

Reply to Leaving the UN? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

True- you leave, you can't trade at all.

Reply to Unused Social Spending routed to military spending (or back to treasury if nothing is being used) in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I would just be thankful they made it the way it is. It a lot more efficient than the other way already. Frogboy already discussed putting it back into the treasury. It was not done because it would cause radical net bc changes, and it would make your managing your ecomony pretty useless- there wouldn't be much strategy anymore.

There was another post with a link listing core ships and their requirements.... if you could ever find it....

2) It seems like troop levels are related to population - might be worth emphasizing farms a bit more if the world is on a frontier that you feel might be invaded. The population on a planet IS the troop number when you are on the defending side.

Reply to Popularity Stat in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

You can be the best diplomat ever, but if you're at war with everyone, you're not very popular are you? On the other hand, if you were allied with most races, you'd likely be pretty popular.

Reply to Things I don't understand in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

IMO it's pretty simple also, and Luminae's example is right on

Reply to Planet tile strategy in Colonies GalCiv2 Forums

Hmmm. Sounds like unnecessary complication to me. I mean, the research centers can just use the internet can't they? There is already so much strategy going into building improvements that this seems to me more complicated than fun or beneficial to the game.

Reply to camera controll in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have a Cordless Optical Logitech Mouse, and I can't use the middle mouse button to rotate either, but zooming works fine. The buttons are all set on default settings, which I read should work, but it doesn't. Frogboy didn't have any ideas

Just please keep no tech trading an OPTION so we can play some games with it if we want.

Reply to AI Bug? Influence base spam? Minor civ confused? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Seconded . Minor races have no business wasting resources on influence starbases. If they want to extend range, then build a military one since it would atleast have some use if they get into a war.

Reply to Noob Population Issues in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, don't worry. Just kill some farms for morale buildings, instead of the other way around, and you'll be fine.

Reply to This Is Ridiculous in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

As jpcarroll has pointed out, the game stopped crashing AFTER he updated drivers. Just do it, in the time you spent arguing that it was pointless you could've done it 10 times. Then maybe it would also be easier to address some of your other.... issues.

Reply to STICKY: Problem IN-GAME? Read Here in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

FoW turns black in sectors that planets are also displayed in, unless you move the map so that you cannot see any planets. In the "black" sectors, I also cannot see trade route lines or starbase effect areas unless I (as above) move so that there are no planets in the screen. Stars, planets, ships, anomalies, resources still show up This is just annoying after awhile. Debug Message: Version v1.0X.1 last updated on: Mon Mar 6 13:57:14 200
