Reply to Ship AI, Carriers, escape, oh my! in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I am on the fence on the entire Fighters vrs Capital ships. The idea that swarms of fighters can take out large hulled ships is acceptable ONLY if said ships have not researched any 'anti-star fighter' weapons techs. If said techs are researched and mounted (rapid fire lasers/rail guns) then really the engagement should be fought between the entire fleets. I lone carrier carrying 20 fighters vrs a heavily armed battleship with long range engagement weapons

Reply to Tech buying. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

We were able to do that in Gal Civ II. If you had the credits you could buy out whatever the AI of the other Civs had available. Purchasing power was given for trading your techs for theirs but you could just buy if you had enough money. I preferred to buy another civ to declare war on someone who was a threat and get multiple other Civs to dog-pile on the aggressor.

Reply to Hexes? Really? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Currently Gal Civ III is not in full support of multi monitor use. This was brought up on the last stream and I believe it is something that will get support either at release or via expansion.

That is a good point. I do know the tile improvements, Icons, bonuses and adjacency bonuses are all a work in progress. I would not get too attached to how they are as they are indeed NOT clear and I am also confused by the double 'either/or' bonus on some.

Reply to 0.30 Starports are extremely vulnerable. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Well we are all focusing on Drengin, but I do know we are going to get Pirates. The same outcry we are hearing now regarding Drengin will be even louder when a post Beta player starts yelling about how Pirates came and blew up his only means to build ships. Even if Pirates are 'released' into a game say 2/3rd into the first Age, there are many players who do not build a single ship till they have medium hulls, life support, and miniturizations to cram more. <

Reply to Hexes? Really? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yea its time to move from Squares to Hexagons. If its really a huge deal just turn the grid off like I suggested in another thread. The game looks simply amazing for an Alpha and if you turn OFF the grid the game looks even better. +1 for moar Hexes.....

Reply to AuraBoy's feedback for Alpha 3 (Turns 1-252) in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I also like the Asteroids causing small damage to ships passing through OR damage over time if at rest in an asteroid belt. Also I would like the old planet eject selector from Gal Civ II to allow me WHERE to eject my ships from Space ports. I had one game where I put the space port between Altaria and its other class 4 planet. I also had an asteroid belt on the other side 'belting' both planets (nice for defense?) but my spaceport ejects the ships right i

Reply to AuraBoy's feedback for Alpha 3 (Turns 1-252) in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

You have lots of great ideas here and this caught my eye... All of the sudden a window pops up: CONFIRM BATTLE? Can only choose one option. BAMM! I have no idea where or what happened. Later I discover it was one of my two survey ships… Saw no evidence of the battle as I was on another portion of the map. Took me a few turns to realize it was gone. This happens a couple more times – again I have no idea where or what ship without backtracking.

Reply to Gal Civ III - Alpha 3 - First play, impressions, suggestions, bugs in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

We can harvest special resources using Star bases. I have both Durantium and Elerium in my 'inventory. They are used in the 2nd tier of techs, the 'Age of war' used for Augments. Elerium can augment both Beam weapons and really make shields very strong. Durantium can augment your Rail guns or your armor. I am testing both currently. Both rare items should be heavy weighted bargaining chips during diplomacy. I think if you have one of the valuable resou

Reply to .30 StarPort Management problems in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

There are two things you can do. Go to the sponsoring planet and set production slider all the way to the RIGHT, this will zero out production on the starport. You can also click on the starport and go to 'manage' and select 'Nothing' at the top of the build cue. This will again cause to stop building.

Production and income are both based off Population. I do know the higher population, the higher production/income regardless of tile improvements. This is a change from Gal civ II, where you got points from factories, now its a percentage increase based on production.

Turn off the grid... in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I remembered that I played Gal Civ II without the square grid on. I did this also just now and it really makes the game look sharp. Give it a whirl. Play without the Hex grid. All needed now is the fix the wavy path of ships in a straight line.

Reply to Alpha 3 Feedback on one playthorugh in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Alpha, I keep thinking we are in Alpha. Its ok for it to be ugly, buggy and hexes.. We are in Alpha..the disclamer says NOT FUN!! Anyway little things like the interface, UI and ship movement are all Polish which Stardock and Brad in general are famous for doing well. I do not think the 'wavy' ship movement will make into release but we will see.

Reply to Hexes? Really? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I really like the hex system. Its been a better way to do things in almost all games including old table top Dungeons and Dragons. I agree the zig zag motion is rather silly. In Gal civ II, the ships were able to do Arcs and Straight lines. Both should be doable here in Hex forms. What is really good is the ability to make round shapes with hexes, something you cannot do with a square based map.

Nowadays they use the improve Nova-star field generator!" Yea we need a way to remove old starbases or ships but i am sure this will come later.

Reply to Join Fleet in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Fleets are in Alpha. Make sure you research some Logisitics tech so you can have enough to add ships. I am running around with two battleships and a transport in a three ship fleet. The transports are actually faster but reduce to the slowest in the fleet.
