Reply to Game should start with at least 1 weapon tech in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I also prefer a no-weapons start. To me it makes sense that it would be easier to send out unarmed ships before developing militarily viable ones. same here

Reply to Ship experience gives defense points when no defense equipment exists in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Perhaps the level includes a "dodge like crazy" option. "Take evasive action, Mr Sulu". Just remember: "You canna change the laws of physics!"

Have a seperate building that will act as a doomsday device destroyign the planet not just the colony! Bad idea. you could also have it that the bigger the colony the more time it takes to destroy so that a lev

AI builds too many Farms in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

In my current game, every enemy planet that I captured had a rediculous amount of Farms built on it. I'm talking about a class 9 planet with 5 or 6 farms! This AI behavior needs some tweaking.

Ship with 6 missile, 1 beam, only shows beam shooting in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I created a ship with attack of: 1 beam / 6 missile / 0 projectile In the attack sequence, I only see beams firing. I would like to see both ideally, but at the very least I should see missiles firing if I have the highest attack rating in Missile.

0% tax rate does not yield 100% morale in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

In GalCiv 1, 0% tax always gave you 100% morale. This does not seem to be the case in Beta 3. If this is not a bug, then we DO need details on what is causing lowered morale on the colonies.

Tiny ship icons (on Starport view) need "Tooltips" in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

There are some very tiny ship icons that are displayed in the Ships in Orbit list (shown in Starport view and also when you click on a planet). These icons are so small that it is virtually impossible to distinguish what kind of ship they represent. I propose that you add "tooltips" (hopefully you know what I mean...) that appear when you let the mouse hover over the icon for a second. We at least need to know what ship class we are looking at for our own ships.

Idle starports still show progress in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The shipbuilding progress bar should ALWAYS be zeroed out when you choose to build Nothing. Right now, the progress bar continues to show the progress from the last ship you were constructing.

Colony with no Starport can still show production progress in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

If you decommission the Shipyard on a colony, and that shipyard had previously had some progress on building a ship, the colony will permanently show a partially complete progress bar (on the Colonies List) even though the text says "No Shipyard".

Multiple transport modules do not increase troop capacity in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I created a troop transport on a cargo hull that had 2 Transport modules. This did NOT increase the capacity from 1000 to 2000. If multiple modules to not increase the capacity, then you should be restricted to one module per ship.

Newly built Starport defaults to Defender production in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

On a number of my colonies, I have built a Starport and seen the initial production set to Defender. Defender ship model is not even in my list of ships. I believe this is happening on planets that I invaded and captured from another race. Newly created Starports should ALWAYS default to Starport Idle.

Destroy Colony option missing from game in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

In GalCiv 1, there was a button somewhere in the colony management window to Destroy Colony. This MUST be included in GalCiv 2. When the AI stupidly colonizes low PQ worlds (like PQ 2 worlds!!) we need the ability to invade them and then destroy the worthless colony. - Proud Canadian

Banking should make Marketplace obsolete in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The Banking improvement is superior to Marketplace in all respects. Getting the tech advance that allows Banking should make Marketplace obsolete. Also, there should be an option to upgrade a Marketplace to a Bank. - Proud Canadian

Water tiles listed as land in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Some of my colonies are on planets that are mostly water, based on the colony view picture. However, when I click on individual water tiles, many are listed as land types (Mountain, Prairie, Desert, etc.). This should be addressed.

Ship experience gives defense points when no defense equipment exists in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I had two ships that were accumulating experience levels from combat. The base ship model has these stats: ATTACK: 0/6/0 DEFENSE: 0/0/0 At level 2, the ship has: ATTACK: 0/6/0 DEFENSE: 1/1/1 At level 4, the ship has: ATTACK: 0/6/0 DEFENSE: 2/2/2 My problem with this is the fact that no defense equipment exists on that ship model. Should experience improve "zero stat" slots on a ship? And why didn't my attack of 6 in Missiles ever improve

Reply to Ship graphic on map does not move with ship in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

I looked into this some more. This seems to happen every time I rename a ship. To reproduce this, simply rename one of your ships and then move it around over the next several turns. The graphic will never move again (unless you save and reload).

Ship graphic on map does not move with ship in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I gave one of my ships a move order, and the blue circle (the one indicating the destination) moved, but the ship graphic did not. This went on for several turns. Symptoms were: 1) The ship behaves normally in all ways EXCEPT that it is now "invisible" because its graphic is back in the position it occupied several turns earlier. 2) The blue destination circle is the only thing that tells me where my ship is located now 3) Clicking on the original graphic (the one that doesn

Yep, I'm seeing this also.

Obsolete planet improvements in build queue cause problems on game load in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have consistently experienced these related problems when loading a saved game: 1) If an "obsolete" planet improvement is in a colony build queue (example: Basic Lab, after you have Research Lab available) when you save the game, on a game load that colony's build queue will become bugged and the current build order will say "0 Turns" forever. WORKAROUND: Manually delete ALL items from the build queue. 2) If an upgrade order to a planet improvement is in a colony build q

Reply to Stuck on turn in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

My guess is right before the turn button dissappeared... he clicked it.. haha! I like a dry sense of humor. Seriously though, I have also experienced this. Quitting and reloading the last saved game fixed it in my case. I couldn't think of anything I did to cause the problem, a
