Reply to Dyson Spheres in Dark Avatar? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Dyson Spheres in Dark Avatar would be a bit cheap... if they built them they they are normally built, as massive structures encompassing an entire star, they would be, 1: like uber starbases. 2: would probably be more along the lines of a class 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 planet. (the inside surface area of some that big would be insanely large) 3: would be such a massive undertaking you would actualyl have to conesume several planets just to get the

Some cool ideas you came up with in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

what are some cool ideas you have come up with? things like some game ideas, or mods, or a website, a building, a book, a movie, a poem, a piece of art, a new mode of transportation, a sport, physics, anything you think is a good idea or is creative. say what you think about people's ideas... are they good, mediocore, or do the need some work? CONSTUCTIVE CRITISISM!!!!!! nothing like "well your idea is stupid!"... say stuff like "well it doesnt have enough detail... it needs to be a lit

Reply to So I just watched Stargate.... in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

mmmm yes.... they could last longer... but they need new characters.... maybe like an extended SG team... they need some SERIOUS military macho dudes.... like Kawalski..... have you ever noticed earth's fleet never stays above two ships for very long? or that thier ships seem to be blown to bits real fast? personnaly i think the size of the fleet should be stepped up... and from what i've read, the ori attacked 28 other galaxies.... thats a MASSIVE invasion.... so what if ra

Reply to new starbase type??? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Ryan, im talking about entirely new starbases... ccxvi (what is that, 216???), the largest ships are huge hulls... unless you added new hull sizes (like i suggested earlier), that wouldnt make sense.... what would be cool is if you could connect it to several dozen planets, the ones that are too small to be useful.. like class fours, so you can pool weak worlds into a strong ship production plant.... also make them extremely weak and easy to destroy.... that would add an entire new twis

Reply to The Dread Lords, the Arnor, the humans and the Altarians in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

hhhhhhhm.... that last paragraph is VERY mysterious..... there isnt enough niformation to figure it out.... but i think i have a hunch what happened to the Arnor.... probably wrong, but it's the kind of twist you usualyl get in sci-fi.... note the refference to the device the "telenanth" from "the original creation". what was the "original creation"? were there other creations? which one is this? where did the mithrilar come from in the first place.

do you think it would be possible to create a starbase that can build ships, and by adding "production" modules increase the build rate???

Reply to needing a mod for a standing start in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

personnally i just want to pull a complete overhaul of the tech-tree.... add some techs to make the Doomray a little more efficient (doom rays have less damage-to-weight ratio than other weapons... missiles are actually the best weapon available... blackhole eruptors cause more damage with less weight than blackhole guns and doom rays...) by adding some new generations to that tree...... stuff like that.... also add some new ship sizes and make some truely giant machines... after huge might be i

Reply to REALLY BIG SHIPS in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

How do i do that? im not good at finding things in the game... i think it would involve copying a huge hull (the data for it) and then modding it for your own uses... after that you add a technology you reasearch to use it... but where would you find the files?

REALLY BIG SHIPS in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

would it be possible to make behomoth ships? i mean to surpass huge. from what i can tell, with some simple recoding of the files you could drastically increase the size relative to other hulls, increase the load it could carry, and then just put it in the same thumbnail as the huge hulls (for some reason my comp doesnt want to go over 6 total thumbails, which is obnoxious with some like kryo's ship mod). this would mean you could create virtually endless sizes of ship. what do you people think?

Reply to Re-Name Planets? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

there are several ways to rename planets. one way is when you first colonize it, it brings up a box that says something to the effects of "We have succesfully colonized Protos IV! Enter a neam below." and it will have a box with the planets current name in it. click on the box and type in a new name. another way is to go to details menu and click "rename planet". you can also click on the little page-like image located next to the planets current name when you click on th

Reply to Sword of the Stars is looking good. in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Well... i dont know... there have been a lot of 4x Space turn-strategy games.... for instance, one of the first was "STARS!". very old, isnt made anymore, cant even find it on "Google" (though the name explains why i think!)! they tried to remake it, but the project was scrapped. "Space (or stars??) Empires V" is coming out soon too. doesnt look bad either. however, GC II is one of the highest rated games i have ever seen. it got a 9.5 on gamespot! it would take a lot of work to

Reply to Ship Names in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I name my ships with cool words like "Retribution", "Insurection", "Allegiance", "Dominator", "Occilator", or "Malevolence". thats the class designation. then i name the hull type with Ftr (Fighter, Tiny), Bc (Battlecruiser, Huge), Ds (Destroyer, Medium), Fr (Frigate, Small), and Cr (Cruiser, Large). then i give them advancement names (X= Experimental, P= Prototype, S=Standard [followed by a name of a race it can take on]). of course, i will name important ships with names. like the "SNS Phoenix
