Another IE user converted I have been using FF for years now and never been happier. Plus side is that you can custom your FF browser the ways IE users only dream of. If your choose to do so, ofcourse. Give FF 2.0 a try, it really is a good browser.

I do find annoying that editing your own posts can result often into a error screen. By error screen I mean the screen "your not logged in". Also posting links/pictures can be frustrating at times. They do work, but when you edit a post, they tend to get screwd :/ Btw 23% of web surfers are using FireFox nowdays (according to research companies), so the above statement is not totally correct. Also M$ has acknowledget that some sites have difficulties with the new IE7 <img src="http://im

This has been bugging me for a while, actually ever since original GC2 came out. Does the AI races spend their ability points when you start a game? To me all the AI races always have "federalists" selected as their political party. This leads me to believe that AI does not spend their ability bonuses either? :/

Nice write up! I have not personally experienced that many mega events in my DA beta 2 games but Iam sure they will get tweaked. Other people aswell are longing for much more elaborate espionage system than currently is in place. Frogboy did write that this part of the game is not open for suggestions, but we can hope it gets bit more complex. Constructor micromanagement is also one of this games greatest achiles heels, but I have not seen any comments about it from

Update to latest DA beta 2 , they were never suppose to appear in the first place. Or atleast they have not been popping up in my games with latest beta. I assume this is fixed.

Reply to How to check pop growth? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks for the indepth explanation of the current pop growth system I would really like a tooltip into civilization manager screen/planetary screen which would tell me exactly what is the current pop growth for a planet. Since this aspect of the game has been changed so many times, this tool tip is greatly needed in my mind.

I like it too very much. Somehow I got the idea that the whole structure of tech tree would be new, but with some new additions it feels quite new again. Iam actually getting my ass handled on tough with latest beta 2 How this relates to tech tree I do not know One thing I would really want to see, is that

Good going CodeCritter! I just posted an bug email to you guys about this one. Glad to hear it has been fixed, could we get a small hotfix before next major Beta release?

Reply to Espionage exploit? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Have not yet had time to get down and dirty with the new tech tree, just about to start my first DAbeta 2 game. But I feel that disabling a farm building with spy should not immidiately kill all the extra population enabled by farm building. Instead it should give negative pop growth instead. What the negative growth rate should be when these buildings are disabled is up to developers I guess.

Reply to Beta 2 Planetary Systems Bug (MAJOR BUG) in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I have zero knowledge about this new beta, but did not korath "live" on toxic planets? So this might be intended feature. I for one would like races to have different type of home world. IE. Koraths main planet toxic and maybe Yor starting world could be barren. This might be so alrdy, but I have a faint memory that all civilizations start with basic habitable planet?

Reply to REALLY nasty AI! in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Agh cannot edit my post Just came back to say, that I really hope the "allow intensive CPU algorithms" tick box will be back in some form with DA. As of now if I want all my opponents to use max AI, I have to manually customize each race. No big deal really, but still one more task to perform. Maybe slap a "reset all races to default" button into opponent selection screen and I have no more whines

Reply to One aspect of Terror Stars I'd like to see in DA in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Its an original idea and have nothing against slow moving star bases. I would however like developers first to handle the current micromanagement issue conserning star base construction. Before that I really wouldn´t want any more added micromanagement with star bases. Personal opinion only

Reply to graphics in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

You cant really compare games like that. GC2 might look small scale but I bet there are alot more polygons in GC2 than Freelancer, in normal scenes. New 3D gimmicks tend to need more horsepower and they are used alot in GC2. This leads to the point that old cards just cannot produce nice looking picture, since they do not support all the newest 3D tricks. I also wish that games would be more optimized today, but the sad fact is that ever growing speed of computers tend to make programm

Reply to AI coding can be frustrating in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Hmm this could be useful. Personally I never had the motivation to dig up what a race is currently researching, as it was buried deep in civilization statistics or some place like that. With my very limited programming experience I can only imagine whats it like to code a complex system like AI. Now that I have seen couple reacent block buster game releases with terrible AI, I appriciate draginols coding skills even more <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" bo
