Reply to Armed Cargo Hulls in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I dont see the point of arming cargo hulls But armouring cargo hulls in fleets they can be valuable if well defended as they will because of the way fleet combat is worked out increase the defense of the fighters

Reply to MAKING MINOR CIV'S MORE POWERFUL in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I don’t know if it’s just me but I am in the middle of a game at the moment and one of the major players is a minor race. They will colonise but seldom get the opportunity to do so they will also conquer planets. In the game I mention the Akkadians? Have just crushed the Terans mostly because I gave them a Terran colony in their star system and some one else let off a precursor planetary upgrading device The main issue with minor races seems to be that they come late and get stuck with

Reply to Ship Names in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I will occasionally name ships but generally only the ones with experience sort of to remind me who they are, but its a bit annoying since the battles are all done on auto a feature I really don’t like and ships die too easy. I am a fan of Space empires and Total war where you can fight your own battles and your being in command can make a difference and you can keep your one an only battle cruiser alive and force your opponent to kill the escorting corvettes first.

Reply to Is it worth it? (Ship-building debate) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

To a point but strike fleets can’t be every where at once and the AI is very good at out manuvering you even at the lower difficulties. It is also to be noted that orbital defence ships can be heavily armed and armoured when compared to strike ships of a similar tech level as they don’t have to use space for drives and life support. I have often blunted an aggressive AI's strike with what are mostly glorified defenders. Of course it depends how you play but it can work

Reply to When you conquer a civ do you get their $$ ? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You can make plenty of cash by extortion see how much of there treasury they are prepared to hand over in exchange for the peace treaty they are desperate for. I have found it tends to be most or all of it. Then when you have bled them dry conquer them completely if you are evil enough or want to remove the civilization. Also consider the spoils of war to be the worlds you take with most of there installations intact. Simon

Reply to Ships transporting smaller fighters? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Might be worth having a carrier ship with a custom module which increased the logistics rating of a fleet it was in but only for logistics 2&3 vessels that the ship didn’t carry the fighters wouldn’t mater since they would all be launched in combat any way No idea how to program that but it’s just a thought Simon
