1.60.417998 Military starbases no longer preventing planet invasion? in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Do Military starbases no longer prevent planet invasion? As you can see, there is a military starbase in the system, but I'm still invading and conquering enemy civ planets.

Reply to GalCiv IV: Supernova Dev Journal #21 - What to do about Space Bugs in Battle in GalCiv IV Dev Journals GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="SuperPlayer465" reply="13" id="3894377"] You can only install a certain amount of weapons platforms on a ship because each weapon system (Kinetic, Beam, Missile) has different mass. When I calculate the damage per second per unit of mass it seems like missile weapons are useless to use. Seems like you simply can't do a reasonable amount of damage at all with missiles and there is no point in even installing them onto your ships. The AI ship behavior seem

Reply to civ profile page in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="Zabik_2" reply="1" id="3894447"] Hey, thank you for your feedback! Technically this information is already in the game. If you hover your mouse over any citizen, you can read their description. But I can see how this information can be missed, as a big screen with all the details would for sure provide an easier access. How would you feel about such a report being in the power graphs tab? Or rather in an extra tab, when you enter that menu. [/q

Reply to Orbital Prison Issue Under 1.60.417998 in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I can verify that the Orbital Prison eliminates crime from my entire Civ in the 1.60.417998 Custom Civ games I've played. Criminals still popup as new citizens but that's probably not related.

[quote who="Zabik_2" reply="1" id="3894193"] Jesus are you rich! Are you thinking about just similar projects as with credits, or something different? And would you want them to be unlockable with tech, or available from the start? [/quote] That's blood money from the Corporate Sector, they gave me $900K to go to war with another Civ, then I got that Civ to pay for peace. The AI seems to create credits at will, but then gives them away. I was thinking that

Reply to GalCiv IV: POST YOUR SAVES! in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Just wanted to let you know that Custom Civs are working much better with all the improvements you've made in the last couple of updates. You've really made this feature of the game fun for modders again. Here's a save to show you how it's going with 1.60.417998. The one thing I will point out is an AI exploit I just found. You'll notice the Torians have given up our war and have declared that they're turning over their Civ to the Navigators. However if y

1.60.417998 New Core World projects needed in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Since you have a cap on Civ wealth of $1M, you need some new projects for core worlds. Might I suggest: Control and Culture. These two are always in short supply. Wish I could come up with a really cool suggestion, but even Influence would be better than nothing. Culture is totally broken now with the high cost once you get up around 9 or 10 ideologies chosen. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/18/60/1860429/d9e97b2d-9b83-43fe-a080-1b9a76519

1.60.417998 Assigning sponsor to shipyard not working in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

Not sure when this feature got added, but I have a shipyard that flipped to me when I conquered the planet that was it's sponsor. The planet reverted to a colony and the shipyard lost its sponsor. That planet should never have been a core world, Torians made a useless Corrosive world their home, but there was another world in the system that was worth making a core world. I hadn't decommissioned the shipyard yet and I noticed that the red bars now said sponsor instead of con

1.60.417998 Prospector event still duplicating in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="PaulLach" reply="17" id="3893698"] Yes, the card decks would be returned held together with the rubber bands that I had put around them when I submitted the deck and inside the greebar paper on which the output of the program was printed. The other fun thing I remember was using a Magic Marker to draw diagonal lines across the top edges of the cards in the deck to make it easier to put them back in order in the event that I dropped the deck before I got the rubber band

Reply to 1.60.417998 - Custom Civ ship displays in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Yes, I think that would be great for helping custom civ players get immersed in the game. I don't do custom ships so I don't really know what they show on the cards, but I'm sure players who use them would like them to show there also.

Did the Galaxy Settings settings get dialed back? I'm getting considerably fewer Stars, Habitable Planets, and Extreme Planets, under the Abundant setting than I was seeing before 1.60.390049 and .417998.

[quote who="billko1" reply="3" id="3893749"] I think they're nice, but not in keeping with the rest of the UI style. I actually prefer the old icons for this reason.

Since they really expanded the number of these Vault Artifacts it makes sense to give them their own look. Wonder if they're

Reply to 1.60.390049 "Spawn an Overlord ship" artifact in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Similar to the Artifact issue above is the "Robotic Star Drone", which also gives a generic Gunboat (Frigate). It would be much more immersive to have the result be a ship called "Star Drone" and it should probably be below Frigate class, maybe something like a Star Eagle fighter class - a beam attack seems more appropriate for a drone. <img

1.60.390049 "Spawn an Overlord ship" artifact in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

The "Spawn an Overlord ship" artifact does not in fact spawn an "Overlord ship" anymore. This ship type was probably replaced in one of the major changes to Supernova. What you get is a pretty crappy generic Gunboat. Either change the wording or bring back (preferred outcome) a special "Overlord" class ship with at least Cruiser stats . <

Not sure if this is an issue for everyone or just me because I'm play a custom civ with custom citizens, but when I pick Independence under Individualism, I do not get the "famed starship captain Kar Zarkof". I assume he should appear in my unassigned leaders, but he does not. I also checked my shipyard and no prototype ship with him appeared either. https://www.dropbox.

1.60.390049 UI info suggestion in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

It would help to know how many of the ship upgrades and Orbital Improvements we have left like the Artifacts in the Vault screen show. Some are unlimited, but others are finite based on how many times you have uncovered them (like the Artifacts). Nothing worse than using your last one & then finding a better use for it 2 turns later.
