Nice start. You could just put the movement and how to in what I would call a quick start guide, That would give you a very concise I just want to know how to play set of instructions. Then in the full manual put a lot more details.

Strange loss in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I was at war with the Altrians and holding my own, when the game just ended. Not a crash, it was like a military defeat. It was really strange since I had better ships than they did. Any ideas?

I too am getting the Error 13 on Space01.pt_. It is also dated earilier than the Space01.ptb in the program directory.

Constructors in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I hate to be dense but how do you turn a constructor into a star base? I don't seem to know how to do it.

Help from the other races in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I was in a battle with the Altarians (they attacked me for some reason). I was able to hold them off for a long time. After a while other races started giving me ships to help in the war. (Cool). Then after an even longer time several of them joined in the fight. Since the game finally ended in a crash I can not get around I don't know how it would end up. But the help from the other races was vital to not getting blown away. For some reason their battle ships were as strong as my avatars

Reply to Beta 1Y seems much harder in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I just got invaded. The stats on the invasion screen show them it +28 for offense +28 for defense +19.5 for tech. I was at +0, +0 and +0. In a hundred or so turns how did they get that far ahead. Also it seems that they beat me to all inhabitable planets leaving me with Earth only. This is on cakewalk. (maybe it is easier on a harder setting)

Reply to Energy fields around my ships? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

After the first time I press turn all my ships seem to show damage. Are they created at less that 100%?

Energy fields around my ships? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

What are those pulsing lines around my ships. Do they need repair? Is it an energy field? Other races ships don't show the same lines.

Beta 1Y seems much harder in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Maybe the other races can't get battleships as soon as before but the get 100 hit point battle cruisers almost before I can get defenders. My ships are all very slow compared to theirs. Hard to compete when their ships are 3 times faster than mine. Of course I could just be a terrible player. By the way nice work with this beta, no crashes so far and things look good.

Problems with autopilot in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

With the lastest build I have noticed that some ships on autopilot make the first set of moves then just get stuck. Seems to happen if you have more that one ship with autopilot on.

Reply to Two ships from two different empires stuck on a planet in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have seen a simliar problem, where some one elses ship gets stuck on my world. When you try to select your world you have to do it twice, once to select the other guys ship and once to get you world. Seems to be no way to get rid of that ship

Reply to Alpha tester warning in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I do realize what an alpha is. I expect lock ups and crashes. And have put up with many and have attempted to describe them in the forum and have keep playing. Sorry I just lost my cool a little when it was posted that we could be dropped from the alpha if we didn't post our scores to the metaverse and the first time I tried it killed my system. I am sorry that I spoke out of my frustation at the moment. Apology accepted I hope. :)

Reply to Alpha tester warning in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

While I don't like it when my computer locks up completely I understand that can happen with a alpha. However I don't think it is not in the spirit of the alpha to avoid doing something that crashes your computer. When the next drop comes I will try it again hoping it is fixed.
