Reply to Wasted Production/Research due to limit of 1 "thing" per turn in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

There is a great inconsistency here, since a survey ship running in auto-survey mode will quit after surveying an anomaly until the next turn an a survey ship in manual mode can be directed to analyze several anomalies in one turn. If nothing else, I think Stardock should correct this inconsistency by having the ship continue in auto-survey mode until all move points are expended.

I am having difficulty positioning the minimap to the position I want to view. Is there some trick to moving it up, down, left, or right?

Reply to a way to upgrade all ships of a type at once? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Have you tried "Govern" -> "Commands" for the upgrades? I have not heard them say anything about whether they will bring back financing of ship upgrades, but I agree it is needed.

We need lots of sorts for lots of lists. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

We really need lots of ability to sort and filter the many lists in the game. Being to see the unowned planets in a list and being able to sort this list by planet class, habitation requirement, and distance from a selected colony ship is one. Another is being able to sort the list of ships that can be built at a ship yard by hull size, type (survey, colony, combat, transport, etc.), cost, etc. is another. And there are many more examples. Finding a planet to colonize or a ship to build is fr

[quote who="Taslios" reply="1" id="3542532"] If I am building a Small attack craft that takes 6 turns to build and I have one turn left until it is complete. I should not be able to switch it to a colony ship that costs 7 turns and complete it in two turns... [/quote] I agree to the extent that any upgrade should not allow you to change hull sizes. And I was referring to upgrades, as in going from one model of a ship to a newer one (for instance a colony ship with hyper driv

Will we be able to upgrade ships being built? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It would make life easier if we could upgrade ships that are in a shipyard build list before the ship is completed, thus avoiding the loss of build points expended on the ship's construction.

How far is it to where you want to go? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I only just discovered this, and perhaps there are others who have not yet found it. Looking at the "input menu" (lower middle button "input" on the options menu gets you there) can be quite revealing. If you want to know how many mores or turns it will take a selected ship to get to a destination, press and hold the "ctrl" key and hoover your mouse over the desired tile.

If it is a graphical bug, why would I even see a change? It was yellow on beta 5 and before and my hardware and graphics settings are unchanged.

0.90 Still no list sorts? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

GC2 had lots of useful sorts on major lists, such as the planet list, ship list, starbase list, etc. These sorts were instrumental in eliminating much of the tedium in making decisions, such as, with the unowned planet list, which planet do I want to send my newest colony ship,

0.90 Approval resource was yellow, now is green. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Why the color change? I have not yet seen an economy resource, which was green, and have not discovered if its color is changed. It would be very confusing if two resources were the same color, Also, why would the colors change from what was in GC2?

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III - Beta 6 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I don't see any mention of being able to sort many of the lists like we were able to do in GC2. Was this totally forgotten? They were very useful. Without these sorts the game is going to be clumsy and heavy to play. The most important (but only marginally so) sort is a list of discovered but unowned planets, which should be sortable by at least planet class (and should show habitability now that GC3 has extreme habitation conditions and distance from a selected colony ship as enhancement

Reply to GalCiv Release Date May 14th in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

With GC1 and 2 I saw concern expressed on their forums that the game wasn't yet release quality, but Stardock managed to get them out with good quality releases. While there is much missing in the UI in Beta 5, I will be very critical if Beta 6 is lacking UI features that GC2 had, especially the sorting of lists, such as the planet/ship/stardock/resources list, the colony list, the ship update lists, etc.

Research points are rolling over on 0.83 for me in both cases; where I have another tech queued behind the current one, and when I select a new tech to be researched. The use of a tech queue where we can set the order in which we want techs to be researched is a good idea.

Reply to Can't improve planet tiles on some systems in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

One way to upload huge files to Stardock is to move them into a facility similar to "Dropbox" and copy its like address into a ticket.

Reply to game crash in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Ah yes. I understand it now. It crashes if Steam is changing files that GC3 calls in dynamically due to incompatibility between the files it is using. I would expect other games to have similar problems if they operate the same way. For safety sake, I would never allow Steam to update a game I am currently playing.

Reply to Collapsing specializations in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I think this will take some of the fun out of the game. There are some tech specializations that are really quite different techs. Perhaps they should not be specializations at all. In this I am thinking of the extreme colonization specializations. The techs for cold, aquatic, and barren worlds do not feel like the same techs at all.

0.83 Survey of ship graveyard with pirates -- no warning message -- hangs when oking combat in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Someone else reported this problem on a previous beta level. This is the first time I have encountered it. With my initial survey ship on auto survey it attempted to analyze an anomaly that had pirates. There are two issues here: 1) the game did not issue the warning message that allows you to avoid combat. 2) The game hung. I used the Task Manager to force a dump and SDSupportTool to gather data which I sent with ticket #APS-493-56586.

Bamford, After all of the problems I have seen posted by others about lack of smoothness of game play, I have been giving some additional thought to what should be recommended for the OS's "virtual memory" settings. These suggested settings would have to be based on individual experience after playing the game a few times, but there are some basic guide lines that one can follow. Here is what I am thinking would help smooth out game play: "Minimum = " Th
