Reply to More "fun" techs in Research Stardock Forums

I don't really like the "random distance" engine idea. I would really like to see some advantage to using older engines on a model (like lower cost maybe, or smaller size?) as it is really pointless to manually choose the newest engine from a list when it is obviously always the best choice. The game should just pick the newest engine automatically if it is always the best one.

Beta 4 Comment: Should a cargo hull ship be worth 5 Logistics points? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Ships with a cargo hull are set to be worth 5 Logistics points. This makes it REALLY hard to make fleets with them in the early game. Was this intentional, or will this be changed later? Since cargo hull ships are so weak (and should have less crew than other ship types), I would think that they should have a much lower Logistics value.

On the Diplomacy screen, Techs (to trade) are listed in alphabetical order. They should be listed in order of value (cost), or there should be some indication of how much techs in the list are worth in RPs.

That's the risk. You might land somewhere good, you might not. If you aren't comfortable with the chance of a bad endpoint, then don't go into the wormhole!

Reply to Beta 4 Bug: Trade routes limit broken in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Just to note, you still get an Access Denied popup when you try to open up more trade routes than you are supposed to have. That didn't happen for me. I opened 4 trade routes in total. I should have only been able to open 3 with Trade.

Beta 4 Bug: Trade routes limit broken in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

(version 0.77[b].009) When you first discover Trade, there are 3 trade route slots marked "Open". As you establish routes, the "Open" slots are never closed. You always have 3 open routes even as you establish new routes. I think the code that is supposed to decrement the number of open routes left is broken.

When playing as custom race (based on the Drengin set), the basic ship models you get (when new techs are discovered) use the Human-style ship models. For example, look at the basic "constructor" ship that your custom race gets - it is the same one that the humans get, even when you picked a different model set.

Reply to fleet battles.. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

but the 3d battles r just eye candy that most people are going to skip once they get into the game There were build to BE eye-candy. Stardock also said that there will always be an option to skip the rendered space battles and get an immediate outcome, should you wish to do so. Personally, I like the eye-candy, but that's just my preference.

Reply to Beta 4 - Ground combat out of whack in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'm pretty sure that it is not fully implemented. It seems like the Attacker always has a huge advantage over the defender, regardless of tech. This may have been put in temporarily due to the fact that we are severely limited in how many troop transport ships can be grouped into a fleet (due to logistics). I expect that this part of the game will shape up a lot in upcoming betas.

Automated drones? Hmmm...it sounds suspiciously like the Star Trek episode "Doomsday Device" Capt Kirk: "But there is no third planet." Commodore: "There was! But not anymore!" goodness knows many times
