Under the extras tab in the shipyard... By changing the size sliders you can come up with a pretty wide variety of looks as well. Honestly alot of these guys are really creative too. The Collector's Edition also has extra jewelry which is downloaded from: Link

Reply to Seriously stuttering videos in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

5200 is a PCI card, and since then we have had AGP and PCI express... It is about the highest end PCI card, but pales in comparison to most recent video cards. If my comp had anything other than PCI slots I would upgrade, but it was free, so... *DEVS* Pretty much every stuttering movie/video thread I have seen is people with the nvidia 5200 card. I have this card as well, and would it be possible to fix this in a future patch? Maybe chan

Reply to Cheap Ships Quick in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well, I currently use tiny hull ships for that. Basically one Laser 5 and a couple engines. Now that I think about it though, the cargo ships can be used from the beginning that way too... Though I don't generally go to war until after I have Laser 5. Will definitely try that out though.

After you click on options from the main screen, they added a whole new column of options you can click on/off. I haven't looked through them too close though, except that throttling is now enabled by default. Um, because your video card is on the low-end for this game, I would bet that tech support can figure out why you can't see the lights and help you. Also someone posted there is a 84.xx version video driver out now, and I'm gonna try to find i

General rule of thumb is to not build farms on any planet below class 6. For every farm you build, build one equivalent level morale improving building. Keep taxes under 50%. Follow the tooltip advice like you've been doing.

I actually rush buy factories at the beginning and then produce them in a few turns. I put on 1 colony module, 1-2 life support, and as many engines as possible. It is invaluable being able to outrace the AI colony ships, and I don't skimp here. It's not worth saving a couple hundred bc to lose that class 19 planet IMO.

Reply to Survey ships? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Your flagship at the beginning has a survey module. You can research the Sensors techs and unlock the survey module. Add this to a ship and it can research the anomolies.

Well only other thing I can recommend is 1. Try the new video options that were added in last patch. 2. Contact tech support. I heard back from them within 3 days and they seem to be really helpful and should know more about your card and your problem. Good luck man, hopefully you can get this figured out. If I see something in another thread I will try to add it in here.

Reply to Questions about the game: things that are not clear. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

2. Currently I think starbases have to be at least 3 parsecs apart, so as many as you can cram in there. I think I read that they may limit this to 4 starbases per sector and that the AI currently has this limitation. Not 100% on this. 3. I think once you have built a starbase, you can select it to see the range that it is affecting. Doesn't affect the whole sector. 4. There are numerous threads on how combat works. I foun

I don't try to go over 20 though because then I start running out of tiles, etc. and I don't like wasting my research on morale, farms, etc. Seems that with improvements in soldiering and orbital fleet managers, plus some decent ships, a planet of 10b

Reply to confusing map etc in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The only thing any race "owns" on a map is planets, starbases, and ships. If you feel threatened by other races ships and starbases, buy them from them, go to war with them, or influence another race to war with them Keep in mind this is a SPACE game, and as such there is no land mass to be occupied in space, just the physical objects in that space...</fo

It would only work in a 1 vs. 1 scenario, and only if you attack first every time. With a HP value of 1, you are risking alot of investment on a gamble. You only need to make one mistake or unlucky roll and it's all she wrote. Honestly, just throw them on a smaller hull ship and more of them, those HP really make a difference.

Reply to SHIP CARRIERS!! in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

You can kind of simulate this by researching minaturization and logistics. Build one larger ship to act as the carrier and then lots of tiny hulled ships. You can build up the appearance of the larger hulled ship and keep the appearance of the tiny ones as bare-bones as possible. It is not quite the same, but I have tried it after reading another thread about carriers, and it at least looks kind of like a carrier group. I just keep all the movement

Make sure your video and/or sound card drivers are up to date. Try watching the tutorial in full screen mode. Are you running the latest patch for the game?

The documentation is still a work in progress I think. For now players are coming up with their own resources. In my sandbox games I was only able to get core ships from the beam weapons line to actually show up. So if you can't get the sniper or missile boat to show up, try researching the techs for lasers, etc.

Reply to Tons of class 0 planets in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

There is no tech to do what you are talking about, only to improve habitable planets. I believe there is one random event that turns class 0 planets into habitable ones, but that is all I am aware of.
