How about stop telling me when Race A loses a space mine or planet to Race B? I just don't care and clicking on the pop-up is distracting. If it's my gain or loss, then I'd want to know but otherwise, I can go to Foreign Stats to see who has more Influence. And correct the spelling on Psionic Missile. The tech is Psionic and the description is Pysionic. Of course, I probably just mispelled some of my post but the names should match. Paul G.

Not sure what your defination of "nearby" is. If within the the same square, probably in all cases. I think I see what you're driving at. And I guess it makes sense. It's just that this didn't happen before so the beta so I was thinking bug where it is most likely design. Thanks, Paul G.

Fleets won't keep orders in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Just started a new game with the beta version I downloaded from the link and I'm having trouble with my fleets not keeping thier orders. I launched my Defender ships and fleeted them (4 ships) and get them for Guard. Next turn, the orders are gone. Tried Sentry as well. This has happend at least 5 turns so far. Each new turn, I have to tell the fleets that are left to G again. Any thoughts?

Missing tech? Psionic Beam in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I'm researching Phasors and it say future techs are Phasors II and Psionic Beam. After researching Phasors and Phasors II, no Psionic Beam. What gives? Is this just a Evil tech like Psionic missile? I'm kinda bummed out about the beam reasearch tree. In the gun tree, there is the Nano Ripper pretty quick and at +5 attack, a prety good buy. There doesn't seem to be any thing like that in the beam or missile tree. If so, it seems like a waste of time to try those two techs when you get quic

Reply to What is the deal with the Peacekeepers? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I've had the Peacekeepers and didn't have the problems everyone else has. They only attacked combat ships just as the description said. Tough luck for the minor races inside my empire. And they weren't that great about tracking down enemy ships. Seemed the enemy had to get within a certain range before they were attacked. I was lucky and none of my combat ships were outside. However, since the PKers are so powerful, I had to go for the Influenece victory. As for the Jagged Knife mega, I'v

Two things for me. Reset the custom race names and homeworlds of the stock races. I always change the home planet name and sometimes the race name to make it easier for me to remember. However, I've played games where now I have two "New Jersey" systems and two races called "US". (Hey, I'm just not that smart.) Also, an in-game clock or turn timer. Too many times I've looked up and it's past midnight. I really get sucked into one more tech, one more ship, and so on. Would be nice to

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar 1.5X notes in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I'm confused. I've only being playing DA a week or so but what happened with this new version? Started a new game and no space mining ship. Of course, no more asteriods either. All the planets are habiatable. No heavy gravity and so on. Those techs have disapperaed from the tree as well. Also, to quote from the release text "Fusion, Anti-Matter and Quantum Power Plants are far less powerful (but still pretty powerful". Don't see them. Ditto the Research coordinator.
