Reply to Gauss Cannons in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Possibly the highly conductive rails used in autocannon development, are made of a special alloy that is stronger than that of current gauss cannon alloys. This would allow(strictly in a sci fi techie logical sense) gauss cannons to upgrade to this newer metal alloy which is able to withstand higher pressures and forces allowing the gauss to add more pressure and force to the shell within the cannon..thus making it travel further when the energies are released at firing time....<b

Installing after Beta? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I can't remember...do we have to uninstall Beta and clean install retail....or can we just update from SDC? Oh, and one more thing. If you ordered the box as well as DL, is it on its way? Thanks, As

Will Brad be taking a role in A.I. Development? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think the title states what I'm looking for.... I realize Ironclad is the gaming developer, and Stardock is "simply" the publisher. But After all, Brad has a passion for A.I....[B]it's kinda his thing[/B] :CONGRAT: And with such a vested interest in this game, will he step up and do what he does best? No disrespect to Blair and the gang at Ironclad, as I'm sure they are very A.I. capable as well. But after following the development of GalCiv, I was amazed at the A.I

Question: Will there be assignable "characters" in Sins? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

This may be a mute point as I have not played yet, but am looking forward to doing so. Simply put will there be assignable characters to ships/fleets that may grant positive and negative effects on your ships and/or fleets? Even though its reviews were bleak(still a great game), Star Wars Rebellion did this very well and included the possibility of having that character being captured and/or killed. With the experience system that is being utilized for the

EB Games Canadian Retail in Stock in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

My local store gets their FedEx shipments around noon and Gal Civ 2 was part of it! However, after the preorders were filled, they only had 3 copies to put on shelves, and those were stuck behind glass for people who had already called to have one put aside for them. In short, there aren't many out there, so get them fast.... Now, off to work.....DOH! As

Right now at FS the wait is March 1st shipping from their website, so expect a couple days after for retail. Wal Mart I don't know, and my EB store has it slated for Monday afternoon (their American website just went to shipping status Thursday, so allow a couple BUSINESS days for stores to receive the product) As

Object Viewer for Ship Building in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I still have not received my copy of the game *shake* *shake* *twitch*, but after reading many posts regarding how long the ship parts list is, and how "difficult" it is to build a well designed ship for some. I figured why not have an object viewer? (similar to Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset for laying down placeables and creatures) Whether or not this issue has been addressed already I don't know. I have read that currently you have to literally select and place a part to see what par

Reply to EBGames called - my *vanilla* copy of GC2 is in (dammit) in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

All the "goodies" were to be shipped in the box...IIRC Brad has already stated that you get thew digital content with the first distribution run, so don't worry, you'll get the extras. As far as the printed tech tree, there are already 2 jpg's on the forum that the dev's have uploaded (can't remember where) and they are working on PDF versions as well to add to the DL section. And without absolute promises, Brad stated in another thread the POSSIBILITY of getting more tech trees mad

Brad, you should really go to bed man!!! I had it covered buddy... As

Reply to Does this forum have a search facility? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

The search function was temporarily turned off due to overwhelming bandwidth consumption during the initial release period. (digital downloads of game) Stardock purchased 300mb/sec bandwidth, and it got sucked up rather quickly and unexpectedly!!! As

Reply to EB Games Backorder? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

It's out of Stardocks hands once the distibutor gets involved. As for the "human like" person you talked to, who knows if there feeding you a line or not? EB Games has centralized warehousing, (which is also why you rearely see any game at EB on release date---usually a day or two after) so maybe they're just messed up internally.... <b

Reply to EB Games Backorder? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'm willing to wait (although I have this uncontrollable shake throughout my body ) I live in Canada and EB Games was never going to ship the Collector's Edition here (according to both online help and 3 of my local stores there was only one SKU listed as Brad gave me both SKU's to look up) which is why I was so pleased with Stardock when they addressed the issue by stating that as long as

EB Games Backorder? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Just looked up the EB Games website to check the status of the game...BACKORDER @!#@! I'm really happy that Galactic Civilizations 2 is in such demand. But I have a question regarding the pre order bonus stuff. Brad had said that nomatter where you purchase the game from, you would get the pre order digital content as long as you purchased from the first distributed serial numbers. Now that EB Games (among others like Wal Mart and Amazon) is in a state of backorder, will this mean

Future Shop is actually selling the game for $39.99 Canadian dollars....35.26 U.S. Dollars to Canadian Dollars will yield 39.99 Canadian Dollars. (Derived rate = 1.1343) I didn't realize that our dollar was this high right now I don't know how they're making money? <

SW Empire at War, 2 great space games released within a week of each other! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Kinda off topic I know, but I've been watch both games for a while now, and I must say that us space strategy geeks are extremely lucky this year! Both SW Empire at War, and GC 2 look awesome! Both are space strategy games while offering different gameplay. Conquering the universe should be a blast!!! I wonder if Stardock will be taking a break from GalCiv 2 by playing some Empire at War

Citizen LOL, Buckfutted... ya gotta love that name.... While I would be willing to pay a premium for the CE, DOUBLE U.S.D. is simply out of the question! Brad has also stated that the two are no different in price....which I appreciate immensely Darth Kyro, I sure hope you are correct in that those companies are stocking CE across the board... A

Getting Very Frustrated!!! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Been, phoning and Emailing for DAYS, TRYING to find out about "Collector's Edition" preorder availability within Canada! The way I see it, EB Games is EB Games and the preorder "bonus" should be available to those who preorder...PERIOD! I REALLY want to preorder Galactic Civilizations 2, but nobody seems able to answer this simple question. Within Canada, GalCiv 2 is (approx. conversion based on $1.40 Canadian to 1 U.S.D) $28.50 U.S.D at Future Shop, and $33.00 U.S.

Pre Orders and extra content question for Stardock... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

To say the least this game looks incredible! Talk about Gamers making games! Just reading the various journals, and posts proves to me that Stardock is in it for more than just money...and how incredibly refreshing that is. And regarding money, you have mine for sure! Just a question about the pre order bonus materials.... 1) Do the extras like the tech map apply to online pr
