If you mean the mining starbase on a military resource, it seems to globally increase hitpoints and attack/defense values. Without mining mods, it will give a 5% increase, which you may not notice; use mining mods to get more. If you mean the military starbase, it will give speed, attack and defense value assists to ships in it's radius of power if you equip it with the proper modules.
You can help out minors to keep them around if you want to. I kept a minor race alive from the 2cd year into the 10th year when I quit the game. I gave them money and ships, and would bribe the other ai's to leave them alone and give peace. After about two years they were thriving without any help from me at all - in fact they kept kicking the Ai's butt. They took over at least four planets through invasion, (managed to
You are seeing the result of help forums - you don't hear about those who had no issues - they don't post. You only see those who have problems looking for help. I downloaded with no issues at all, as I suspect 95% of those who used the download did. I was very happy - and had my box in two or three days. Besides, SD is extremely supportive of their customers - not like some other game companies. If the small chance occurs and you you do have issues they can be reached m
Copyright infringement has nothing whatsoever to do with if anyone makes money or not. It means they own all the rights, and no one can use their stuff for any reason without their permission. The klingon ships are ok because they are cartoons someone's original design, and not the actual designs used in the show. The word Kllngon itself has been in use long enough that it has probably entered the dictionary; it would be very hard fo
I too think it needs to meet more than once every 50 turns. That is too long between meetings. Maybe have 3 quarterly meetings where 'lesser' bills are voted on - and vote on long term props in the end of the year meeting. At the lesser meetings there would also be a vote to choose which prop is discussed at the next meeting, say from among 4 choices - you would not know the result until the next meeting, but you would know the f
Good point Marcathonus.
Drawfour, it is useful for modders to be able to use the same ship name. That is why that should not be disabled. A simple warning, which the game gives, telling you that if you proceed you could have issues is enough. I dislike anything that makes me have to do something. I have enough sense of personal responsibility for my actions to understand the repercussions if I proceed down a path I was warned could be dangerous, or not to comp
You know you can adjust your build queue by moving the stuff you want done first up, and the other stuff down? What game build are you playing? It seems that in 1.1bv3 the AI is more efficient at managing planets from my short experience so far.
I'd like to echo It would be nice to have a few educational type games there - a lot of adults will play them too if they are fun. My wife is a teacher and she plays the word puzzle type games on Yahoo all the time even though they are 'kids' games. There is a lot of junk in this field out there - be nice to see quality stuff on TGN - you would rock that market. (And Educatioanl stuff is maybe bigger than you realize, though not 'sexy'.) I bet
Go to the tools menu in SDC. Open the Settings box. Select the Internet settings on the left. You can select from 3 servers in the pull down on the top right. Choose a different one and click OK. SDC should refresh - and your updates should be announced.
@Jeysie Post #20. Great post - you hit the nail on the head. Stardock is great at what they do - but they are not Forum software specialists. This is not meant as a bad thing. IMO these forums are a bad reflection on the company as they stand. Very amatuerish compared to 'real' Forum software that has been developed over the years and already have the features users want. The GC2 forums look spiffy, but like a Yugo, things under the hood ain't so g
I thought it was indirectly there - your Production Capacity slider is an indication of how much factory capacity you are using - i.e. "employment''. The more you use, the more people are working.
Contact your Campus IT dept and see if they will open up an exception for the port in question. Not likely, but you can try. Is there not a mechanism for submitting games to the MV without having a direct internet connection through the game itself? Like emailing in saves or something? Don't know - I don't metaverse.
Being able to horsetrade before the vote would be a fun addition - if they can code the AI to be able to compete in it and not get taken by the Human everytime.
The expansion phase in the beta 1.1 patches is much harder now as pop growth is way nerfed down. This seems to have slowed things down - expand too fast and you will find yourself broke and defenseless against the AI's who are now spending time making military stuff. Your way would maybe present too many issues and be difficult to manage/balance on different map sizes. The release 1.1 patch is scheduled out next week.
Wierd. Have you emailed support about this? Do you have a save game you can share? That never has happened to me.
Try switching Servers in the Internet section of the SDC settings. This worked for me.

You have to use Stardock Central to get the official update patches too - that is the way Stardock prevents piracy instead of using a DRM that requires you to keep the CD in the drive. They only released the first 1.1 Beta patch in the downloads because it was a weekend and they wanted to get it out and not wait for it to be put up on SDC. All the others since that one have been released through Stardock Central only. You can download th
Are you posting on the forums on the StarDock site or the GalCiv2 site - if you post on the StarDock site forums then sometimes the formatting on the GalCiv2 forums are messed up. (The two are linked, theoretically what you post at one goes to the other, but it doesn't always work well.) I find it best to post directly to the Galciv2 forums. The UP resolutions are designed to give a check to evil races - and to warmongering. Otherwise the
For some reason it is trying to switch to 16 bit display - does your monitor support 32 bit display at the resolution you are trying to run it at? Go into the prefs.ini file in the My Games\GalCiv2 folder and set a smaller display resolution to see if that helps. you can also try to start it in Windowed mode - set Full Screen =O in that file.
Good point Hykin. Perhaps in future releases they can eliminate the circle for Mining starbases only. That would probably be less confusing overall.
If I recommend that you do not jump off a bridge because you may get hurt, am I not telling you that you may have some problems if you go ahead and do it anyway? It is not a bug - it is to prevent issues such as you are experiencing. What is so hard about not using the same name if you are currently producing that ship? It is convenient to be able to do that for modding purposes - the game does warn you about problems if you do. <
Can you shrink your posted image size? It makes it very hard to read the froum when it is so large. A link would be better - especially for those with Dial up. Thanks!
The AI would never break any treaties then unless re-coded. That would probably open up other issues. Not a bad thought, but probably not so easily balanced.
Yes.
