[quote]The Terran Alliance had shrewdly managed to become the the dominant power in the quadrant. After consultations with the home guard, we were given permission to formally ally with the rising stars of the galaxy.

Well, basically every Drath (see my other post for doubts) has been wiped out. The Korx worlds were all conquered and a handful left to resettle elsewhere. The Korath have been defeated, but not completely wiped out.

Reply to Question about TA tech in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Admittedly so, but I was thinking mainly of the techs such as Artifical Gravity... wouldn't the way, say, the Yor discovered AG be different compared to the Drengin and Arceans? And there are some with the same descriptions.

While playing Dread Lords? There are no Mega-Events in Dread Lords. Events aren't so good/bad compared to Megas.

Well, why do the Drengin have access to Market Centers and Black Markets, Entertainment Networks and Arenas?

Reply to Twilight of the Arnor Beta 1a Change Log in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Some bugs I recently encountered: a. If you go too fast in pressing 'Attack' when invading a planet, the game crashes (happened to me as Drengin.) b. I downloaded the update for TA from SDC (0.83[b].000?) and still suffer occasionally from the invisible ship bug. Mainly, with constructers, freighters, and when one ship is on top of a starbase.

Reply to an idea... smarter pirates in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

And in fact, in one of Frogboy's Gameplay journal/examples, he says that the Pirates vary among either just galactic rogues, but some might be a vanguard force for an as-yet undiscovered race that's powerful to send fleets at unlimited range. Also, he mentioned there might be a correlation between the Pirates and the disease (because both happened at the same time.)

Reply to Game Play Example: Epic War! in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

May I ask a question? That Pirate civilization you mentioned (lurking in the unexplored depths of our galaxy) would they ever be included in a future expansion? Or the Xendar-Terran war (that's been mentioned but not really shown in the game.)

Question about TA tech in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Is it realistic to expect that there will eventually be different tech descriptions for technologies among different races? I thought that's how it would be, but, for instance, some techs say the exact same thing no matter who you play as.

Reply to Idea: Permanent Wormholes in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Prevents starbase usage for certain races? What? [quote]I think a wormhole generator could be implemented. Not like a ship wormhole generator, but a wormhole generator station, somewhat like a starbase. Since this would really shake up the game, it would be very high up in the tech tree. The starbases could link up to other wormhole starbases or existing wormholes. [/quote] You do know that's basically what I said?

For a, what about Dread Lord graveyards only? For c, the difference is, does the crew of a Korx or Thalan (using non-important races as an example) have time to get the information out of their computers as a doom ray slices them in half? It seems that if not, some info would be available. How about this, then: a. Parts for a ship b. Sell to Pirates to stop them attacking you. c. Rebuild wrecks at nearest space-port (Decrease production time?)

Reply to TA - Warp Bubbles in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, I noticed. There's also a Battle Command Center available as the Terrans- and assumingly, the Drengin and Arceans as well. The thing is, this is an Arcean improvement, it has to do with First Striking. At least, I think it's Arcean.

Reply to Xeno Researchers causes crash? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Okay, never mind this, but there's something else. I got back into the game after upgrade and built some Terran Constructers. They were invisible! I couldn't see them, but they existed. Also, it crashed again after I went to the Events Log.

Reply to One Beta Down... in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Well, actually, now that I look at it again, it seems to be a bit different. The colors are what made me make the connection. It looks kind of slavish, and has the Orion colors- green and black. But very cool improvement graphic!

Xeno Researchers causes crash? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

On the list of fixed things, it said 'Lock up when trading certain techs'. I'm updating now, but before, I was playing Terrans and put Xeno Researchers on the trade table. My very act of clicking it caused a crash. My question is, is this the same thing?

Reply to Idea: Permanent Wormholes in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, I like the Wormhole generation idea. Maybe, if you destroy the wormhole generator, you cause serious damage on both ends (think planets rendered radioactive/class-0, suns destroyed, starbases imploding, engines shut down), but if you just turn it off, the ship just gets destroyed. Responding to the invisible idea, maybe. But I think natural wormholes should be invisible- the logic being the Bajoran wormhole from DS9 was invisible to everyone at first, until they stumbled

Reply to More Calestial Objects in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Ship Graveyard: When a ship is destroyed, it creates a shipwreck (bear with me here). These shipwrecks are just floating debris, at first, that act like normal anomalies. But, if you have a certain number of them (in a single sector?) they pile up and create a graveyard. By surveying this, you could get: a. A Precursor ship (I mean a real Precursor ship, organic and everything. A Dread Lord ship/A Arnor ship) b. Parts for a ship (Improve either Military Production, Weapons,

Reply to Twilight of the Arnor campaign in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

What irritates me is only when I research an anti-Dread Lord super ship and then I'm back to Plasma weapons. PeskyFly, the Dread Lords weren't beat, they just 'withdrew'... haven't you played the DA campaign, or heard of it, where the Korath and DLs join together?

Reply to One Beta Down... in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

It seems to resemble the slave auction pit seen in an episode of Star Trek Enterprise. So by that logic, I'd say it's either Drengin- probably not, not enough red color- or the Korx, which seems to fit better.

Expansions and campaigns in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well, a comment from someone- was it Frogboy/Draginol?- struck me. It basically said that SD would continue to make new expansions for GC2 until GC3 was released, so it remained up-to-date, as GC3 wouldn't come out for a while. So here's my question- would these expansions feature campaigns as well? Now, eventually you'd run out of Terran material to do. I kind of liked the feature in DA where you were the Drengin in the campaing, is it possible that future expansions (if there

It looks very... evil, I guess?

Reply to Twilight of the Arceans (A Twilight of the Arnor story) in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

Hmm... may I suggest tying in the narrative with the events more? For instance, in my story- and in many others- briefings are held where the 'advisors' report what is going on in their particular field. It's kind of nice, also, to give more detail, not less... why give less? Also... I had the exact same idea and title, too!

Thanks! If you like squirrels with plasma rifles... wait until you see what they get when they do some 'ordinary' medical research. Yep, plague is definately the right word for the Snathi...
