lol, 'suicidal' indeed

1) like the devs' posted in the journal, its not MOO. considering the penalties suffered in defending, coupled with the need for orbital fleet manager, you're probably better off with less weapons and more engines. less firepower can be made up with more shots from larger groups of fighters, and the initiative bonus you gain when attacking. that being said, each drive category gives +1 speed. so with 1 speed default, you can move at 5pc/turn

Error in beta 3, Warp Drive MK V for Cargo Hull////AI Colony Ship Screen in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

noticed while playing beta 3, not sure if fixed yet Error in Warp Drive MK V, for Cargo Hull. Shows 9 size in ship designer, but when u put it on, only takes up 4 space. size shows up correctly for other hull sizes. on the other and, a very useful bug since it makes my troop transports, constructors, and scouts very fast. not overly powerful as the tech is late game anyway, actualy makes larger maps more manageable with

when you go to manage characters you can select the default button. it is under clear scores. the button when not highlighted is very faint and real easy to miss.

what's this about retroactive scoring? does it applyy to beta 3? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

i think beta 3 was the first version to have the new scoring. i've been working on a pretty tough gigantic game, n was wondering if beta 3 scores are to be reduced on metaverse as well, or if they will "count" as much as 1.1 i hope to have a decent score to post soon

1) pop growth doesn't seem to be at 0.2 B/turn anymore. when settling a planet with 20 colonists instead of the 500max (0.5 Billion), growth is excruciatingly slow. -definitely prefered the simcity2000 model of population growth, spontaneous=) 2) taxes seem to decrease as the population grows. ie, with 500 million population, colony generates ~20/turn, but at 5 Billion pop, only generates about 40-50 gold/turn, at same tax rate <b

Reply to Fleet combat in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

rangers are slow, so you can consider taking them out of your attack fleets. also, stop sending in defenseless cap ships. fighters can get so many more shots in, so an easy pirate counter would be to stack fighters with all weapons and some engines. as for sensor range, if you are lacking 'eyes of the universe' which i usually beeline for, then at each mining starbase post a sensor ship. just a cargo with some engines and maxed out 15pc sens

Reply to How does the military resource sb work? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

they are so clutch. especially for the endgame, when each one gives +59% attack AND defense. great for campaign, but i think a bit overpowered for regular game. with regard to military starbases, i consider them a waste of time outside the campaign. ...unless you like to maintain static borders with warring neighbors.

i've seen AI build tons of frighters on suicidal. I almost had to abandon the game since turns were taking 2-3 minutes for all the ships to move. building a military and killing everything in sight quickly solved that problem.

Reply to Campaign Mission w/ Dreadlords in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

dread lords are supereasy to fight. remember that small ships get to fire more often in combat. simply research some logistics/miniaturization/beams, and stack fighters. sure you lose a few here and there, but at less than 200bc for a fighter with 4-5 lasers on it, not a big deal to replenish. can also try some military starbases +1 or +2 to beam weapons, per fighter, is a nice bonus

Reply to What do you do on the Siege level (campaign) in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Reply to Ship numbers... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

yep, no point in defending planets since ships can't do anything to them like MOO series. i like to have about 3-4 fleets, maybe 5-6 on the largest map sizes. 1 per flank, 2-3 per front. EASY solution: CARGO hull with 1 Lasr MKV, 2pc sensor, and the rest engines. with the 'eyes of universe' mod you max out 15pc sensor range, and with 20+ movement you can pop troop carriers easily. doubles as a great scout too farms up
