Each player will find there own way up the tech tree. It can greatly very with each game, depending on the galaxy condtions, and races. Good role of thumb is to spend some of the early game getting the basics of Trade on comunications. This will alow you to establis good relationships with the other races, and buy you time to get your millitary established. However. Everyone likes to do things in there own way. It depends on how you want to win (or lose). It would be nice to get peop

I might be able to help with a few of these. Easyest, to change a colony to your home world simple go to the "planet details" screen for that world and select "Make homeworld" Yes when you destroy a colony it should reduse its class. Originaly it was to make it unuseable but that alowed for alot of cheese. As for the Yor. Each race has it atvantages. You just need to find there weeknesses.

You can have as many starbasas as you can aford to build, your logistics value will efect how much they will cost to establish. The only real limitation is your budget. PS. the price goes up with each new base. PPS. However you have to have at least 3 grid spaces between each starbase. with the exception of resourse bases.

Reply to How to improve planet class? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

When you start a new game make sure that the habitable planets setting is on common or even abundant. If you want a tun of good worlds set all the settings to abundent. However the will mean that your enimies will also end up with a tun of worlds, and change the game play alot. As you get more advanced you will find the type of galaxy you like to play in.

If you keep reserching industral theroy and xeno econmics and other planet based techs you will find that you are almost always building or upgrageing something on your planets. However, if you get in a situation were several of your planets are not building and you want to keep the social spending up for your empire. (To keep the other planets building stuff) you can then go to the top of the planet screen and "Focuse" the spending of the individual planet on either reserch or mili

Reply to How to improve planet class? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

You can not take a Class 0 planet and make it useable. But you can "improve" colinizeable worlds with techs from the "planitary improvments" branch of the tech tree. If you are only getting two planets you will have to do more of a push to colonize in the early game, it might help you if you start you starport building a colony ship in the first turn and defisit spend with high military while you can, and send the colony ships out early. You will get more planets this way. But really

Reply to How do you control... in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

If all of your ships moves are made the turn button will glow green. If it is not green you can select the find button and it will take you to the next avalible ship with moves left. If your ship is already on corse to someware and has not made it there yet it will ignor it, and make its remaing moves when you hit turn. (This alows you to change its corse if you chose. )

Reply to Modify existing ship designs? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

The designs are saved untill you delete them, but they wont show up agin in another game untill you have all the techs you need to build them. If you realy like a "design" you can build it with only the hull and "extras" and it will show up everytime you unlock that hull. Then you can upgrade it to what ever techs you have and need for the game you are playing at the time. But save it as somthing differant when your done upgradeing it or you will overwrite the "template" ship.

Reply to Starbase battles? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

To see starbase in the battle screen, you need to uncheck, "show fleet battles only if both sides are fleets" in the options window. Since a starbase is only one ship, they wont show up by default. You might also want to make sure you are playing with the differant battle views, since they are so big most of the time the starbase will start off camera. Also, yes you do not need to put sensors, engins or even lifesuport on a ship if you just want it to gard your planet. Often In the e
