I like the look of the ships. An applause to the graphic designers.

XP is no problem, but have you selected to show Betas in DGM's menu system?
One round with no loops or fast-switching(!) Got two errors I'd like to report tho. http://fredrik.dyndns.org/shipbug.bmp At the top left, there is a hostile ship and my ship on the same space. Actually he had beat me two turnes earlier. I couldnt target his ship with the mouse, but I could attack it with the arrow-keys. The other...probably known. If i set two transproters on route for a planet and my starships happened to get in the way, it just took away the route. I
Hrrm, my error. I conquered the system many rounds later, and then I saw that the losing ship was stuck there a few pixels away. Nothing special in the debug.err, but I have a pic of it http://fredrik.dyndns.org/untitled.bmp
I just had a situation where two alien colonizers aimed for the same system. I would too if I had a colony ship ready. I only had a scout, but I used it to maneuver the alien ships to it'd be tie. (One was two/three trunes ahead of the other, so I blocked him and made him go around me). What happened then was that both aliens colony ships moved on/into the system and they both dissapeared. Hmm logically one of them (the loser) should have used his to grab another system, and they both shouldnt
I dint see my scout when I was near the edge...and my Colony-shop was selected. I pressed next and in the middle of the quadrant to see my scout when he moved. But the game crashed on me instead. This is the end of my debug.err: Debug Message: Reading Star Names Debug Message: Error. No available spaces around star. Debug Message: Attempt to play unregistered file

Ummm another thing about the planetview/systemsview (what do you call it) to the right. If I'd like to cycle between systems I need to click on a planet if I'm at the starmap, to bring out the planet-view and trom there click on the arrows in the top right corner. Could we get those arrows in the view to the right so we can cycle systems while having the starmap up? Please, pretty plese with sugar on top? :)
Ahh yeah I see that know...I was so curious that I managed to do some testing from work lol
I dontknow what's on the todo or not, but here's some comments: If I go into the sysoptions and options, hit esc and get back to the "main options" and then selects continue I get back to the options part of the sysoptions instead of to the game. Ehhh much "options" there but I hope you see what I mean. The ESC from the sysoptions menu should bring back the game, as clicking on continue. A button to get to the sysoptions would be nice but that should be in the todo alr
Hahahaha, okies :)
Ehh if you bring up the planet and click Details (or what it's called, on the left side) do the changes there affect the hole empire? It didnt in the OS/2-version. At work atm...so I cant check myself
Another thing that'd be great to have IMO is icons for unread threads (threads with a new post in). It it's doable.
Oh...nonono...not that rating. If ya open a built planet and check on the left side...just under the name. That's not the same rating I see when I choose which planet to colonize. Ahh I thought it was more like the old ratings (in the OS/2 game) Or am I misstaken...wasnt there ratings there where no1 was the best? (That was actually the biggest planet currently in the game) My memory isnt that good the, so I might be wrong, I admit it hehehehe
http://fredrik.dyndns.org/galciverror2.jpg is the correct URL...I forgot the extension
I got another screen for ya http://fredrik.dyndns.org/galciverror2 It happend when I did a ALT+4 to get away from the looping turns...when exiting I got this error. This is the things in the debug.err just before my ALT+F4: Debug Message: DEBUG: Drengin Empire StarFighter 22 is still targeting this dead ship. Debug Message: Destroying ship Torian Republic StarFighter 54. Orbiting: 0 ASSERT ERROR in file g:\projects\galciv\source\starship.cpp at line
If it says it takes 3 months to complete, I have to press 5 times on the turn-botton. Not like the military/social stuff where it'd take 4.
yep, but not 100% I just had a race with an opponent for a system. it was very far away from his point or origin, and he didnt seem to check any other systems along the way. He seemed as he know what go go for. However In the quadrant next to that on there were a better planet. Ok, I'm running the AI on the easiest level so that could be it.
Hehe yesterday I was up to 5am playing and was at work just before 9 am hahahaha. I'm not gonna do that today. Hahaha who am I kidding
Hmm sadly I cant force it to repeat itself. It havent turned up again, and I cant think of anything special I might have done to induce it.
What is the rating number based on? Is it static just now? Because I had a fairly newly colonized planet that got a higher number than my otherwise biggest one (population).
Ahh I misunderstood ya. There are two turn-type bugs. One is the one flashign and the other is wit h the turn-button pressed down always. I thought you ment the first. Duh, yeah I had suck a good lead, not the got me since time just flew by and the only thing I could do was research.
And now I know why I sucked. With too high taxes the pop dont grow a person. They are all on sex-strike
mm that's the most annying so far. I have it almost every turn right now in my game.
I'd like to save my usual Empire- and leader-name and use tab to move between empire- and leader-textfields.
