This problem with the attachment spire continues to be a pain. I have now found that no matter what ship has it, the game slows dramatically. If it is on one of my ships, the game is terrible in the ship builder and then once the ship is built and on screen. If it is an AI ship once it is on screen the game slows, frame rates below 5, and the ship need not be visable. If the AI ship is in the FOW, or unexplored area i get the same effect. Strangely i don't recall having this in

Hi all. Not sure if everyone knows but the Metaverse council is holding a free election to elect a new member. My name was brought up and i have accepted. I would love the support of any of my fellow HCH members that think i could do some good as a MVC member. Please check out this thread, WWW Link and post your support there. It is a free election and no nomination is required, i believe, so if you wish to run

Those people were forced by there country to go out and die for them. 4 people. That's how many people in my family fought and died in WWII. 2 people. That is the number that fought and died in Vietnam. 1 more, my step father, fought in Vietnam, though thankfully lived to tell his tale...just. How many of those 7 brave souls were forced to fight by their country. None! . They all volunteered and 1 was even my Nan, who left 4 child

If you only buy the Gold Edition to for the extra ship jewelery and hulls then you have spent wisely. The ships of DA make DL's ships look like something off an old Atari 2600. That being said though, the new updates that continue from Stardock should alone make you happy you have DA. I don't think DL is supported to this degree anymore and as such after a few months i think you would be frothing at the mouth to get your hands on the expansion. Get the Gold Edition and use DL f

Hey, couldn't agree more Mumblefratz. A fresh pair of eyes could be the best thing for the MVC. Some of us "old timers" might be a little lethargic and set in our ways by now. A new member might be just what the doctor ordered, there is nothing like the views of the pure and innocent.... If someone has the desire to see the Metaverse succeed and flourish, it should'nt matter if they a have nice long row of flashy, nicely colored little icon medals or not. Sitting there reading

This strategy only works for large/gigantic galaxies, right? Otherwise it seems that colonization will have been completed before you've researched the techs required for planetary invasion. (It's a cunning strategy, I just want to make sure I understand the limitation Yes your right, that is based on a gigantic map. But also based on a very research biased game. i fill my home planet with 1 entertainment centre, 1 factory and the rest labs. The next pla

I did this post separately from the above post because this one is purely of a selfish nature..Mumblefrtaz asked for "minimal" campaigning from nominee's so i thought a little info on me and my interest's here might be prudent. Here goes, I'm 30 years old in 1 week, married with 1 son. I work in a Security monitoring centre and have been playing the game since the day it come out in stores (in Australia anyway). I actually did not use the MV at first since modding the game was

It seems I dont carry much support, I drop my arguement, let this election presume with the game requirement. I of course meant no disrespect nor did i want that to come off as a hardline statement, just an opinion. I would sure hate for someone to drop an arguement because they were outnumbered, stick to your guns. Your points are valid. We did agree earleir overwhelmingly that the voting should be free. <br

Reply to Metaverse Council Elections in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks to PlayJeff and Wyndstar for their support, i guess it's official, i am putting my name forward to be considered an MVC nominee. "Metaverse Council" the title says it all. Should the MVC be representative of the whole GalCiv community? Why yes of course. Without new players joining the MV there would be little point in the whole endeavour. But should that come at the expense of putting the MV and it's users first. I would say not. Like you said Mumble, all else is secondary, ev

Everything is working fine, but one thing. in the ship builder if i try and use the attachment spire (1st thing in generic), my frame drop down to 2 or 3, everywhere. Even if i try and use that ship in game it is terrible. But as soon as i take the spire off the ship and save and reload that ship in shipbuilder it's fine. And plays fine. I have a debugg if ya need it.

A role maybe, important, well to the people of France yes i'm sure it was but did they really have any meaningful influence...I guess the most effect they had would be the smuggling of information and people out of Western Europe. My knowledge of the French Resistance is but 1 line, "Listen very carefully, for i shall this only once..."

That's pretty much what i do. In a map with 900 or so planets i only colonize to about 30. From then on, i follow an AI's colony ship with one of transports, he colonizes it and i take right from under him....cripples their economy too...

I'd leave my mark in this thread, and on a certain poster . but i have had my ass chewed by Kryo once for voicing my opinion on this disrespect of national holidays, in a most vocal way, so i'll just add that to anyone posting about how they don't care about days like memorial day and the like just remember. You have the right to say that you don't care because of the actions taken by those we remember on M

In my current game it was about turn 7 i think. The Thalans were too close to me and were after a few juicy planets that i wanted. So a tiny hull laser 1 fighter is now a level 6 ship!!!! And not 1 colony ship got in, though 3 did from the terrans Though it's not laser 1 anymore of course.
