Reply to Yet another thread on ethics. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]Someone requested in another thread for a switch to disable ethics when you start the game. I think it is a pretty good idea, but a slider going from "none" to "common" would be better. Personally I would just go for common.[/quote] You could be thinking about me. I made a request for a disable random events at one point. A slider will work fine as an alternative, but I consider random events broken enough that I see little reason why a slider would do any better than a disable b

Reply to Upgrading starbases -- adding modules I am a bit lost in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Send the constructors to the starbase. They will be able to upgrade the starbase. This however destroys the constructors in question, so you might want to avoid designing expensive version of constructors. Don't worry too much about being confused about upgrading starbases. Many of us on this forums have their own issues with the way starbases are setup (myself included). If something feels a bit weird, don't worry too much about it. Don't be afraid to ask questions about it.

I've got free time and want to learn how to mod better in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

With christmas holidays here, I've got some time on my hands to do stuff. One of the things I want to do is figure out how to some serious modding. The whole racial tech trees have got me interested, so I want to learn a few things so I'm ready for when the editors are handed out. I've tried looking around to get the information I want, but it seems that some links are not working, and other information doesn't seem to exist. As such, I'm asking for specifics here. 1. The first

Reply to Automating ship and fleet movements in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I think I know what you are talking about. Let me guess, you tried to build a fleet by making a rally point, and then set some of your planets to send your ships to that rally point? Or you could of tried to build a starbase using rally points. Sometimes the ships are launched from orbit and don't fly to the rally point. Well, check to see if you have the latest version of DA, then see if this problem exists. I'll keep an eye out for in TA betas.

[quote]Should I restart? Can I still manage a victory? My best planet is Earth; nothing else is better than class 8.[/quote] You could still probally win. Take this as a learning experience. Figure out what you did wrong, and what you could do better. After that, then figure out how to get out of your current crises. Make a save, and return there if you lose. Do that a couple of times until you either figure out how to win, or realise its beyond you... for now. [quote]
