I've found that you generally need to wait 30-60 seconds after the object has been scuttled before you're able to reclaim those logistics/tactical points. I had two systems where I tried that, and waited the rest of the game and nothing happened. I had the same thought as you. I'm going to try it again in the game I have going now. Also, make sure you're scuttling something that has the necessary points to

Auto placing of improvements in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Started a new game (Actually, three of them, to see if this was a constant glitch) after the update the other night and now the computer seems to auto-place my research stations, hangers, etc. Is this intentional or a glitch? I can't say that I like this arraignment one bit.

Next time this happens try holding down CTRL and hit 1 several times rather than once. Does this resolve it? There seems to be something finicky here, but we can't isolate the problem. Is anyone else having issues with this as well? (Crumbs in the keyboard don't count!) As I mentioned in another thread, I tried to take two groups and redistribute them into three groups. I spent the rest of the game trying to convince one cap ship that it was only in gr

Reply to Multiple star systems in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Having only played my first game last night, and not having had a chance to play around that much yet - I am glad to see this thread. From my first impression, I didn't know that there were multiple stars in other games. I was very weird to me to have so many planets orbiting on star.

Reply to Yet another first impression thread in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Aside from that thx for the praise and support and I'm glad you are having fun Hope I'm not too late for this thread. I played my fist game last night, and I had first impressions of my own. (SDC had an update when I finished, so my apologies if any of these things have been fixed.) First off, this game has roughly twelve pounds of awesome in and a ten pound sack. Honestly, a lot of the game is more polished than some release versions that

Well, I pre-ordered and will be checking it out tonight. I generally don't do betas, so this will be an experience. It'd better be good, or you guys got some 'splainin to do! \I'm sure it will be awesome as always. I just can't wait any longer to get a "taste."

Reply to A preview of the NEXT Galactic Civilizations II update! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I agree with the sentiment of being able to turn passive AI on. I'm sure a lot of people are into the micro-management part of it, but not me. I've never found placing agents to make much of a difference, and they're a real pain on my planets. So what do I do? I research counter-espionage centers as fast as I can, build them on every planet and then create just enough agents to mop up the few I got hit with. Then I do nothing with them the rest of the game. Short form: New spy sys

Reply to How copy protection creates pirates in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Well, I feel that I should step in an say a few good things about SD after I inadvertently started that flame war a few weeks ago about Vista... Yes, SDC is technically a form of copy-protection, but it is so passive that it is almost not worth mentioning. In fact, I wish it could do more. I have a crap-load of games on my computer, and I find myself wishing that SDC could work with a

Reply to game victory in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have gotten a tech victory twice with all victory conditions set and nothing happens. Yeah, I was actually coming here to start a discussion about the same thing. I've got everything DL'd, but when I get to the end, there is just a screen that says "Victory: you have won..." I figured that there must be something, because the game has videos for friggin everything else. So, to sum up, there should be something for victory, not j

Reply to Five Reasons Windows Vista is good for gaming! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

#4 You have only two licenses with a purchase of Vista. When you upgrade your computer's RAM or video card Vista will consider itself on a new computer and you will have to enter a license. If you want a computer you can upgrade over time then you will have to buy new Vista licenses as well as hardware. Do you want to do that? I don't. Might as well buy a new computer afte

Reply to Five Reasons Windows Vista is good for gaming! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Your post is spot on - exactly my thoughts about Vista and the opinion of many other people I know To be totally honest, the only reason that I went to XP was because Civ IV required it... In a less stabby-tone, the only one of those five reasons

Reply to Five Reasons Windows Vista is good for gaming! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Wow...Just, wow. This is going to sound really bitter, and I'll say I'm sorry in advance. Since I have come to think of Stardock as the anti-MS, this blurb came as a total slap in the face. There is nothing on that list that makes me want to get Vista, and it comes across mostly as SD shilling for Microsoft. #1 " As a result, imagine games in 2 years coming with their requirements listing what your performance ratings have to be instead of vague requirements we have today "<

Stupid Question in Space Rangers 2 Stardock Forums

Okay, I've been enjoying the heck out of SR2 since Stardock started distributing it, but I've run into a problem. I'm sure that I missed something somewhere along the line and am going to sound like an idiot, however. Okay, I've maxed out my skills, gained lots of money, solved most of the quests but - now what? What am I supposed to do to finish the game? What is my goal? Am I supposed to just clear every planet of Dominators? Is there somethin

Reply to The loading song is driving me crazy! in Game Talk Stardock Forums

Holy crap! There's a loading song? Glad I got that upgrade when I did. By the time the song starts to register, the game is loaded. Kudos for hanging tough for 20 minutes, guys! (Now go buy some RAM...)

Reply to Where is that cruiser? in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

I sometimes like to play as an influence weapons dealer. I put most of my effort int to influence and trade bases to keep people off my back. In the mean time, I reasearch and trade every weapons tech I can and make myself a fair defense force. In the midst of all of this, I build core ships and sell them to warring races - both sides, of course. This keeps me in the money, and makes for a satisfying political or technological victory. If anyone gets frisky, well, my defense forces

Hmm... and HTML tags seem to be a bit buggered as well. Oh well...at least we have a forum.

Reply to SR2 Manual in Space Rangers 2 Stardock Forums

Toothless[/B ]: I gotta say that I agree with you. Those types of links are very annoying. And, as [B]Yarlen pointed out, a lot of other forums/sites use them. Which mean that they're just going to become another of those things that everyone hates, but everyone uses them, so we don't have a choice.

Reply to Space Rangers 2 is now on TotalGaming.net in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

So here's the question: Anyone know how to remove Starforce? I got a free copy of King Kong with my new GFX card, and didn't realize that craptastic copyprotection was on there. Now, just like someone earlier in the thread, I can't use my DVD burner. I found a few sites that had removal instructions, but they didn't seem to work. Can't find any Starforce in my system, but still no DVD burner.

Reply to Custom Ships in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I found some components that look like a 3d triangle that has a green arrow on it one direction and a red arrow in another (Under "generic" I think.) Click one of those (or tow) on the selected hard point and it will rotate it. When you bring the piece over that you want, it will orient to the hard point. A little tedious, but it works.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I need to second (or third or forth) some of what was said above, and take it a step farther: I, in fact, bought this game partially because it did not have multi-player. I don't play MMO's and the like for the same reason that I didn't like playing Street Fighter back in the day--I don't have all day, every day to do nothing but play the game so that I can compete with those who do. There fore, I get my butt kicked. Hard. By somebody Leet

The one part I need to comment on is: "answers comes directly from the developper which is good, but shouldn't a developper work full time on his job instead ?

Reply to Stardock=No support in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm with the rest of the people here...Top notch support. I bought this game on word of mouth, and was then shocked to the core to find out that it was an indie company. This final product was much more polished than a lot of others I have purchased over the years. And you should read the download instrutions f
