Reply to Trouble with constructors with multiple construction modules in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

At this time, shipyards don't have modules, so a constructor fortifying a shipyard is the expected result. Shipyards are not like starbases (not yet).

I want a fortify command in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

At this time, we have commands like sentry and guard. For me, they're the commands I hand out when I have ships just sitting there, and I don't want them doing anything else. Unfortunately, commands like sentry and guard aren't good enough for that. They can keep ships just sitting there... unfortunately their very purpose is defined by what conditions will trigger their reactivation and prompting me for instructions. The sentry command wakes up the ship when any ship (any that is

How do you print screen? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Has this feature enabled yet? I figured that it might help me to diagnose problems if I could take screen shots I'm hoping to get the game to do it with a press of button. The alternative is I do things manually, maybe by pressing "print screen" and then close or minimize the program and then save the image to a file. Plus it might allow me to take snap shots of my designs.

Trouble with constructors with multiple construction modules in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I've been toying with constructors by adding multiple constructor modules to my designs. I very much like the idea (it can speed up starbase construction and development). Unfortunately there are few problems I've noticed. First, if you have more construction modules on the constructor than the starbase has modules that could be built, it is likely that the constructor would not add to the pool of construction points, but instead fortify the starbase like any other ship. It

I want to stockpile construction points for my Starbases in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Like the title says, I want to stockpile construction points for my starbases. A reason for that is, I might want to install a certain kind of module on my starbase, and I have the constructor ready, but I don't have the required tech. A different reason might be, getting the constructor to a starbase might be the hard part, as hostile ships might try to destroy my constructor. In both instances, I want the construction points to be there and ready once I have the techs I need. <br /

Reply to Giving commands to stacked fleets.. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I've been finding that stacking fleets is a bad idea (at this time). The UI isn't built right to handle them. I find it is better off to keep each fleet in a different tile.

Can you despose of your own starbases/shipyards? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

In playing the alpha/beta, I have on occasion built more starbases and shipyards than what I needed. It is annoying when there is a minimum distance that starbases must have in between each other. I'm wondering if there is some way to get rid of them? I'm assuming that this feature exist, that I merely missed it. If not, then it needs to be fixed in the next patch.

Reply to Impulse is dead... in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

I did try to use Impulse under GameStop control, but I came to not like it. I gave GameStop a chance and they disappointed me. I especially didn't like how their pre-orders didn't show all the information I felt I needed to know before making a purchase, namely the types of DRM used. I quickly stopped pre-ordering games I thought looked interesting because of that. It seemed to become all about the pre-order bonus goodies and the surprise DRM... then came the Steam keys. They stopped

Reply to how is feedback processed? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Other forumites read posts. If they see a good idea, they might make a point to bring it up again in case someone has forgot about it. This increases the odds of the devs seeing the idea then. Also, these forums do a decent job keeping track of all the threads you read. I haven't been around for a few months and it remembers correctly which ones I have opened and those I have not (other forums might forget after 10 or 30 days).

Reply to Banished: New City Building Game in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

I've played the game a bit over the past few days. It is certainly quite a feat for 1 person to make (it says 1 person made it on the game website), but a bit of that does show. There are a few bugs and other problems that haven't been stomped out yet, like laborers traveling to the other side of the map to do a job and possibly starving and freezing in the process (because they are too far away from home when those become a problem), or problems with removing roads that haven't b

Reply to Banished: New City Building Game in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

I'm still debating about whether or not to get this game. The issue is that I've grown accustomed to buying games on sale, so I rarely pay more than $5 for a game these days. I also have more games than I've played thus far so I'm in no rush to pick up another game. Still, it sounds interesting so I might do some looking into it.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations 3 in PC Gamer's Best PC Games of 2014! in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

Shouldn't best of anything wait until it is released? Maybe not so much to prove that its good (because we all know it going to be good), but rather because saying this game will be the best is like rubbing salt into an open wound (because we still have to wait before we play the finished product).

Reply to I’m writing this from the fire station in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Its nice to see you are still trying to get GalCiv 2 to compile on something more modern. I recall you considered it a pain to have to use a Windows XP emulation to compile the game. It would be nice if you got things compiling and we got new updates for it. That said, how are you trying to go about making it compile? Are you trying to modify the code so it compiles on a modern compiler? Have you tried to modify the compiler instructions so the compiler tries to compile the code as

Reply to These constant videos are not letting me read the post in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yeah. You should be careful what you put on your computer. The general rule of thumb is, no amount of internet security will protect you if you make a habit of downloading programs from porn sites. A lot of this nasty stuff have many different ways of getting bundled with free software, even on websites that were once reputable (some websites that offer a lot of free software now bundle a whole bunch of unwanted stuff with stuff people want now). Other helpful advice is: You should

Reply to Very odd game breaking bug? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

When the disease mega event rolls around, I quickly consider who I want to beat up. This mega event negates all ability bonuses, like bonuses to weapons, defense, hit points, speed, logistics, and soldiering. This makes ships weaker, without logistics you can't make fleets (existing fleets don't automatically get disbanded), and no soldiering makes planet invasions easy. My enemy can't undo this until they research the cure. Just make sure you research the cure real fast, or you&#

Reply to Limitations of Galciv 2 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Much of the data in GalCiv 2 had a lot of stuff hard coded. That meant that the devs couldn't easily change variables, or allow us to mod the same stuff. The Starport is one of those things. There is no ability that allows a planet improvement to unlock ship building. The game quite literally searches for a planet improvement whose internal name (the name you see and the name the game uses to track stuff can be different) is called "BasicStarport" and if the planet doesn't have one th

Reply to How did Altarians come into existance in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

*Scratches head Umm... I believe it is just the one human, not a civilization of humans who came to the Galactic Civilizations dimension. From the stuff I've read, there was never any hint that there was anyone else who came with him. For all we know, his civilization might be extinct, or he has traveled so far from it (through the dimensions) that he probably wouldn't be able to return even if he wanted to (nor would anyone be able to find him). I'm not sure

Reply to Things wrong in GC2 that I hope don't return. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Something that annoyed me around the time I started playing GalCiv 2 was that I couldn't trade planets in such a way to minimize conflict. When your influence is pushing strongly against another civilization's influence, that adds - to your relations with that civilization. Trading planets to minimize that could solve that problem. Likewise, early versions of the game had AIs declare war on you if you had ships in their area of influence for short periods of time. They assumed you wer
