Iconian Colors are not "so good" sometimes. for example: If you colonize a new planet you can set a new planet name. but the name is white text on light blue background and almost unreadable.
It would be nice to have blinking lights in the ship editor. the new animate feature is great but why is there no "blink" button for lights? :)
Hi! I noticed a missing Hardpoint to place hull parts on the Yor design for medium ships. I have added a screenshot where the point is missing. on the other side of the ship the point is there but on this side its not visible - but still usable! (you can place an object there).

Hi! I played a new game with 1.8c yesterday and noticed that the "invisible" engines are still there. sometimes the "builtin" engines of a hull are not visible and the shape is missing so you can see inside your through your ship. I use an ATI Radeon x1600 with AMD Athlon XP 3000+ and WinXP. (Sometimes the engine trails are only on one engine visible if there are two engines on the hull, too. But did not see it in 1.8 yet so I have to test it again.)
Carrier ships sound nice. A HUGE ship where you can put small/medium ships in. (just like in Homeworld) Some new hulls or some changes to allow more weapons and other systems on ships would be nice. sometimes the space is very limited. I believe you can change this if you edit some game files but a built-in option to set the free space on hulls would be nice.
Nice idea, you have this stargates in master of orion 2 too. Just put everything from MoO 2 in the game and it will be the ultimate game! (including Multiplayer!)
I play Birth of the Federation, too. I hope there will be a MP Patch someday. GalCiv 2 is one of the (or THE) best turn-based game I know so far and the next addon is already pre-ordered.
Multiplayer is still the most important part in a game like this for me and many people I know. Please add MP so that we don't have to play Master of Orion 2 for the next 10 years.
Hi, just wanted to install GalCiv2 again and downloaded SD Central to get the game. I was looking for the CE Items and the other downloads but they are not on the downloads page anymore?! What happened to them? How can you get the Editor Items from the CE now?
Two other things: - If I name my shiptemplate "Starfury" it does not use my design. I get a compeltely different ship with the stats of my designed ship. It seems it is a predefinded template but not recognized as one because I can save a template with this name and delete it. If I use other predefined names I cant delete them. (btw: some predefined ships have 2 weapons on it but only one is working - why is there no feature to add weapons and other components just as "visuals"
Found another issue in the latest version .059. If I use the name "Starfury" for a design my ship does not have my design, just the weapons I have added. It seems it is an predefined shiptemplate but it is not recognized as one. I ccould delete it and save the template with another name. But with other "predefined" designs I get the message that I cant delete/overwrite them.
But it would be nice to have a good/evil setting for custom races - predefinded races have them too. You cant change it but Yor are leaning to bad at the beginning of the game. Would be nice to have this for your own races too. One minor thing: You can assign shiptemplates for AI players but why not for your own race? You can just select from the predefined styles and not your own style. (starting ships are alwys predefined style not custom)
Hi I found a few issues in Dark Avatar (could also apply to Dread Lords): BUGS: - A bonus you get via a random event (this one happened on colonizing) is not shown anywhere. Its hard to remember every bonus on every planet if you have plenty of them or did not play for a while. I got a research bonus of 50% for example but I could not find it listed anywhere. - The camera in full battles makes some weird things and is flickering and jumping to several positions in only one
Hi! Just made a few turns and then went back to the Main Menu and then hit the EXIT button. I got a popup with an error message and the game crashed. TITLE: MS Visual C++ Runtime Library Buffer overrun detected! in GC2DarkAvatar.exe Program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated. Running WinXP Sp2 with ATI Radeon x1600 (256 MB) (German). Here is the debug.err (if it helps) Debug Message: Version beta 1 build 1 last update
hmm no beta, yet. Hope it will be available soon.
You can get everything except the nice box and techtree poster via patches and downloads here, right? (the new shipparts)
I dont need a store, buying online is fine. And I have already preordered it a few weeks ago, after purchasing GalCiv2. But I hope you can add multiplayer to the next addon.
Thanks for the info. I found a few other things yesterday but this time I forgot to write it down... so most of it is "gone" now. But I will add them later when I can remember what it was. Here one thing I still remember: - The Terrans call me "Yor Collective" in the Trade Screen but thats
Can anyone tell me where I can get the German Version please? I want to take a look the translation and switch to it if it is good enough.
Hi, you can find some Bugs and Issues I have found here in this Thread (and some suggestions): https://forums.galciv2.com/?forumid=274&aid=127668
Hi, here are some other things I have found in 1.3A NOTE: I have no Mods enabled - I play without any mods. - United Planets screen shows no votes for all races in the turn after a vote. You have to finish the turn to get the chart and numbers back (shows "0") - I got the "Defender" Ship with 1 Beam Weapon but never researched beam weapons and my custom ships can't have beam weapons. Is this a feature? (I researched mass accelerators) - Drengin Trade in a Metaverse
hope the download is available soon
Please please please add multiplayer! Single player is nice but I miss MP! I still play Master of Orion 2 because it has an MP mode.
Thank you for the info kryo. But what about the german version of v1.2? There is no option to select the language or download different versions?
Another suggestion: Would be nice if you could attack planets with ships from space (in Orbit)! I don't like to conquer every planet with troops. It would be faster and easier to attack from orbit. You can reduce enemy troops this way (but destroy buildings) or you can bomb everything away and continue to the next planet. (maybe even destroy planets like in MoO )
