Reply to Nebula backgrounds, add rifts? Please pretty devs? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

GrimMage yeah, something like that! Now i also feel the need to do some shameless self-art promoting :P [link]http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=109frontierdb6.jpg[/link] [link]http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=112lurkingaj5.jpg[/link] Some thing like that, just basically whisps and clouds of distant nebulas, not a 100% clouded view :)

Nebula backgrounds, add rifts? Please pretty devs? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Well, it seems like either space is completely black, or oversaturated with a huge bright nebula in every corner the eye can see :P Wouldnt it be possible (in a patch or such) to add a simple randomized opacity map or something, so if the user chooses to enable it, the zoomed in nebula has some nice soft rips and such, showing more of the dark deep space beneath it? Actually more like streaks of the nebula on top of the dark space. You get my drift.. Like the deep space backdrop

[quote]Hetshepsut. Always sounded really cool [/quote] "Hatshepsut" ;) I also prefer Naglfar, and just basic egyptian/greek/nordic/any mythology god/deity/monster names :)

Reply to Beta 3 for me in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Ill give it a try tonight with lowering the new options, enhanced ship rendering and the terrain variety slider. And i'll check the memory usage as well once i get that error

Reply to Out of memory in DA in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yep, same problem here. Constantly Out of Memory errors.. Its getting really annoying, especially when you just designed 10 awesome ships, and you cant save the game because of the out of memory error... Byebye! 1.5 didnt have this problem for me, nope it didnt. In fact i never ever had this problem before i updated to 1.6.. And i dont want another link to some stupid FAQ thread, they are no help. They just always state the obvious newbie stuff, "increase your pagefile size", "make

Reply to Class 28 planet with plenty of farms and 100% approval stagnating population in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ive noticed the same ever since before i installed any patches, almost always happens on the class 4 planet you get in your starting solarsystem.. Like.. Maby it grows to 2 billion, then it just stops, even tough there is food for 5 with the colony being there and all, and then way late in the game it might be at 3 billion, really wierd stuff.

Reply to 1.1 - AI still not challenging :( in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Edna hasnt been reading too much sci-fi, YOU have not read ENUGH sci-fi! What you would know then is the amazing fact that the real world and the sci-fi line is a very very fine constantly blurred line. We have the capability for a self-evolving AI, we just dont have the funding for it. Its just like when people said that you couldnt go to the moon, or tought that the stars were a flat sheet over your heads.. You will be amazed at what can be acomplished in the next 10 years. Did

Reply to Did GalCivII kill my video card? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It is a coincidence. And its not a big coincidence either, it had to happen sometime, so.. My prev card got busted when clicking the OK button in the driver settings, but it wasnt because of me changing the anti-aliasing settings. It was because it simply was time for that card to die

Reply to Starbase Defense Assist - where is it gone? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Are you kidding me??? So then there is no reason at all to choose which weapon the starbase should assist? Noo that cant be true? A starbase which assists beam weapons give those bonuses to ships with only missile weapons? LOL, thats like cheating if its true

Reply to Whats with this star trek star wars crap in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Its not that hard..... Not if you have any sense of imagination anyway. I've built countless of completely unique detailed ships, and i've been doing CGI for 6 years and i find originality to be easier than the process of creation itself Some ppl just dont have imagination thats all <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 A

Reply to Adding depth to Space in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Well, with the "nebula" things in the background being of such low quality (its like the standard photoshop cloud filter, no fancy business), dont expect any of this to look good I'd rather see Stardock hire some talented artists, and have these types of features in GalCiv3 instead <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 AL

Reply to PC Gamer gives Oblivion a 4 page, 16 screenshot review, Galciv2 gets 1 PAGE????? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

First of all, oblivion is NOT 1/4 the size of Morrowind, its way deeper and better in every aspect, i completely adore the game. Secondly, i also completely adore GalCiv2, but lets remember that GalCiv2 didnt have a huge ad-campaign, if any at all. This has nothing to do with "which is the best game?", it has to do with money, PC Gamer needs to have a huge review for the most anticipated game in order to tell ppl wether or not its worth it, s

Reply to GalCiv II: Size Matters in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

OR, the military starbases effect could count on the individual weapons on the ships instead on a ship as a whole.. Example: Light Fighter with 1 Laser + Starbase with +2 Laser = 3 Laser attack strength. And the very same applies to the heavier ships, so as you said more smaller ships would end up getting a higher attack rating than fewer larger ships, due to the bonus being given on a per-ship basis. Now im

Reply to Andromeda's Logo Wanted in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

lol...... this game is moddable which means any sucker with any minimal paint skills can copy and paste the star wars logo into the game if they wanted to, its all good noone is gonna sue you. The difference is if you would SELL that mod or use it in public (commercials etc).

Stardock! Core ship design suggestion! in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

As it is now the core ship designs are pretty useless, unless you quickly need 1 defender totake out a troop transport or something.. How bout making it so that the core ships upgrade themselves whenever a new component research is done?? For example the starfury, which currently is exactly the same as the defender except for the hull/hitpoints, yet they both require the same maintenance (1bc), so its pretty useless.. What if it wo

Reply to Just for clarification..... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

it would be cool as heck if the core ships would automatically be upgraded with new engines and weapons and stuff as you research improvements..

Reply to Why is it autobuilding new designs in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

its a bug when u loaded a savegame and messed with the existing ships, but ive also noticed that sometimes it doesnt build the ship you tell it to (if you have upgraded a ship many times with the same name), but it builds an earlier version of it instead. This can be fixed by using the proper in-planet shipbuilder screen instead of the quickbuild screen.

Reply to Unit Cap SUCKS Big Time... Any workarounds? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

you are NEVEr going to have thousand ships, the upkeep would ruin you quicker than you could build them. Besides you can have as many ships as u want ingame. In combat however, if there wasnt a logistics limit, the only thing you would be able to see with 200 ships in combat at once would just be tiny dots, the camera would be zoomed out so far that the ships would be compromised of 1 polygon lol <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/
