That's why I didn't update to the beta yet ha ha. Ha ha? HA HA?!? Well you do realize that some of us in here have updated to the beta because we were having issues with the 'non-beta' don't you? So then you think that our issues are funny? YOU THINK CTD'S ARE FUNNY?!? Why I ought to... Sorry, just trying to have a little fun at your expense! I was going to
Even so, if i'm already going 5kph over the speed limit in the fast lane and somone behind me looks like they wan't to get past, i make an effort to get out of their way. For all i know, they could be trying to rush a sick child to the hospital, so it is still wise and thoughtful to get out of their way even when exceeding the speed limit. Now that's some courteous driving! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Congrats.gif" border=0 alig
If you do go in search of a new psu I would highly recommend the OCZ Gamextreme 700 watt. More than enough connections for you to add-on down the road, well put together and no problems whatsoever installing it into my HP tower. I believe it was around 160.00 from Newegg with a twenty dollar rebate, but that was a few months ago. When I find a good product I like to tell people and I believe the OCZ Gamextreme is awesome for what you get for the money, plus the warranty is decent as well (can't
Although I don't play with the depth that you guys do, especially you Iztok, I agree with you with regards to the spore ships being a bit 'too much'. I only played a couple of games using this ability and after the initial 'shine' wore off I found that the spore ships were basically a game spoiler. Win or lose I like to, no... I WANT TO, have fun playing the game. I've had quite a few 'great' games where in the end I was handed my ass on a silver platter... those were actually the losses I post
Sorry danielost, I wasn't trying to steal your thread but it seemed like it fit into your OP... a little bit at least.
Well if you really want to wrap your head around something and see what you come up with how about the upcoming cosmic event of December 21st 2012? It should prove interesting to see what happens when our planet, our sun, Venus, and other heavenly bodies line up with the center of our galaxy... among other things that will be happening. Another thing that will be happening during this event is our axis will have completed a full rotation, something that happens every 26,000 years. The Mayans, w
your right it is a stupid question I didn't say it was stupid danielost... I was just asking 'why' you were asking this question... like is it an issue in the game or something... or are you trying to make a mod... you know, a question!
Ahh, I see. I feel rather stupid now for responding to a post that was made over a year ago. Hee, hee, hee. I thought something looked wrong with this picture!
The power supply and the cpu heatsink are hotter than i would expect Well, I can't help out with any of your issues necessarily but I do know for a fact that the 7600GT needs a minimum of 450 watts from the psu. There was a debate regarding this in another thread in here when I was going through upgrades on my PC so it ultimately depends on if you really think you need one as I have had techs from HP and nvidia tell me two completely different things w
The reason for asking this is?
Evil, can you even truly profiteer on what is a luxury item? Well I did ask if I was right or wrong so pssssf! Just playing! I was merely trying to convey that I think it's both idiotic and wrong... but that's my opinion. 'They' put limits and laws and regulations on everything else so one could only figure that there would be someone out there screaming fou
Okay, time for a new rant! I am sitting here at work as my co-worker peruses ebay to compare prices on the Nintendo Wii. He bought his online for 400.00 as a bundle, because of course no stores around here have them, and wants to track if what he paid was 'fair'. Now they are going for upwards of 650.00 on ebay and one person alone has 12 units for sale. So here it goes... First, with Nintendo pretty much lagging in the console wars for a good number of years now and finally after all of t

Thanks Mumblefratz. I couldn't get the link to work... must be having one of 'those' days.
The problem is that it's more pure annoyance than challange. I can see your point (and obvious frustration ). I have only encountered the pirate mega event a handful of times and in every instance I was at a point in my game where it was only a matter of three to five turns before I could muster up a potent enough fleet or two to deal with them. Since my economy
Alright, since ToS Iceman doesn't like my grav compensator idea, how about this - the lonely all-male crews of the GalCiv starships are attracted to the women of different planets. This attraction acts like magnetism to move the ships, thus allowing a ship with no engines to move! So then instead of thrusters I guess we would have... hip thrusters? Or take
STEP 1 - Dont blame Vista - Its a good operating system and I happen to like it very much. STEP 2 - Blame the game companies, not VISTA because its them who should have prepared for it. STEP 3 - Get a bowl of acid and chuck your galciv games in there. STEP 4 - Purchase Battlefield 2 and enjoy. STEP 5 - Uninstall stardock and forget about the updates although you may dream about them in your sleep. STEP 6 - Dont bother coming to these forums anymore because you will get

Still trying something... sorry.

Thanks for the mention there Mumblefratz but as we all know, I am the last person to give 'helpful' advice about this game. Since I am not the best 'teacher' I will provide this link for the post I made with regards to this dilemma. Kryo did a very good job of explaining how to go about this in that thread. Okay, so since my link didn't work I guess you'll have to search for it yourself, sorry
As far as military only victories, there are those that aren't satisfied with anything other than the complete and utter destruction of every form of life in the galaxy other than their own. I happen to be among them. Me too!
By the way are you running JK-Anomaly Mod Pack v1 as well? No, I don't use any mods (used Kryo's hull mod which is awesome BTW) since I have a hard time running a game that stays stable and doesn't crash... figure not using mods would decrease the chances of game crashes so...
Second. A ship has appeared in the bottom left corner of the galaxy. It does not move or effect other ships in the area, it just sits there! I've had this one myself. Never seemed to change anything about my game so it isn't a big deal to me... thought I was crazy at first. I don't know what it is and can't recall if I've seen anyone else mention it.
The pirates on the other hand has been far too powerful in the latest 2 games, outnumbering me with far too powerfull ships (i had, by far, the strongest millitary among the other races.) Maybe so but therein lies the challenge. At least they don't have the capability to invade your planets, otherwise there would be some serious trouble. Like everyone else has said in numerous other posts regarding the mega events... if you can't stand the heat stay out
I like the idea myself. It would probably have to be more along the lines of your first example of course. Maybe have set 'rules' where those games have to have specific settings in order to 'count'. I myself have yet to play a single game using anything other than a custom race and to be honest, I haven't wanted to try using a different major... I like the ones I create, even if they don't always stack up to the in game civs. How about allow a competition of a sorts using custom races only ( I
Your fuel analogy is flawed because it describes more the power source. All computers have the same "fuel nozzle" or does yours have some weird power supply with a different connector for the power cable. Heh, I like that. I guess my wording didn't come off quite right and you sir are definitely reading way more into my comment than was meant. Look at it more like, everyone has a car and the 'universal' application of tanking up is there for us already,
So then what you are saying SetarcosNous is that you could care less if every last tech outfit out there was to milk your wallet over the years? You could care less about your system not having support a few years down the road because the rest of the tech community felt it wasn't that important to continue to provide service for an old and outdated system? You're fine with spending 50.00 on a game only to find that it doesn't work with your 'new' system... and now you have an expensive coaster
