There is food and farming in the game, however in all the betas I've seen so far the amount of food produced on a particular planet affects the population of only that planet. So in the game so far there's no capability to set up a planet to be a "breadbasket" for the rest of your planets. I suppose this might change before the game ships, though.
Got a freighter arriving from the Carinoids with a value to me of 0 per month. Hardly worth it, eh? I sent a screen shot to gc2bugs.
I just hit another CTD when trying to load a saved game. Since it's repeatable (at least I repeated it once) I sent both the saved game and the exception report to gc2bugs.
Give it another try, I was able to post a few minutes ago.
I was able to post a score to the Metaverse just now. As you say, it was the first one I've been able to post for a couple of weeks.
When you have stacked ships, and you are trying to create a fleet, it is possible to create a 1 ship fleet that won't be able to be merged with other ships to form a larger fleet. I don't know exactly what causes this problem, since forming the fleet works most of the time. In my current game I have two ships stacked. I select the sector where the ships are to bring up the display of the stacked ships. I click on each so that it appears
I've seen the same thing when starting a new game without exiting GC2.
Actually I've demanded money from a major, too. I had a huge miiltary advantage at the time, and he said he'd help me out just this once ...
Let me be the first to post: Happy New Year to the GC community! Especially since 2006 is the year of GC2. I'm going to be away from my computer for the weekend, so I had to get this in now
I think Rogerano wanted to recreate the Shadow ship from Babylon 5, no? That's what it looked like to me. And a good job of it, too!
It also says stardock.com later in the post True, but the fact that I've sent over 30 emails to the .net account and only one has been bounced, plus the fact that Stardock has registered both stardock.com and stardock.net, indicates to me that the .net address is valid. In any case I've forwarded the
You can do that in GC1, so I'm pretty sure it will be in the final game.
If you read the "All beta testers read this" thread, you see the following: Make reports here in the forum, and if you have files that you need to send in, send them to [email protected]. QED
I've sent over 30 bug reports to [email protected] and this is the only one that bounced. The thing that concerns me is that this particular email took almost a week to get bounced. I've resent it, but since it is a UI issue, maybe I should send it to Scott.
I just got an "Undelivered Mail" message saying that mail.stardock.net had bounced my mail: Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host mail.stardock.net[69.129.39.174] said: 451 qq temporary problem (#4.3.0) The email that was returned to me was one I had sent last Saturday. I hope you can fix the problem.
In another thread I asked whether the fact that the report on minor civs says "If we plan to properly wage war against them, it'd be wise to allocate money towards espionage" was a bug, since there's no way to spy on minors. Since there's been no response so far, I'm posting it here too in case it is a bug.
Got another CTD after hitting "New" on the shipyards window. Exception report sent to gc2bugs.
Major AI ranges are always correct, but minors usually aren't. Well that explains how in my last game (in a large galaxy) the Carinoids were able to colonize more planets than any two of the majors combined.
Read the manual - there's a PDF of an early version available through these forums (look for "User Manual Draft 3"). What you're seeing as borders are "influence zones", within which alien planets have a chance of being overcome by your cultural dominance (this is known as culture flipping).
Still happening today.
1) If you go to the Foreign Policy window and then to the Minor Races, you'll see a statement something like this: If we plan to properly wage war against them, it'd be wise to allocate money towards espionage. As far as I can tell there's no way to spy on Minors. Is this a bug or a feature that's not yet in the game? 2) After you achieve advanced levels of espionage on a major, the Reports tab of the Foreign P
I've seen the same thing, I just sold 4 obsolete ships to a minor race and they haven't moved them for 10 turns. The same thing happened in GC1, though.
I've noticed that when using the find button or the spacebar to select one ship after another, sometimes the selected ship will be just off the edge of the window. I've sent a couple of screenshots to gc2bugs to illustrate the problem.
Can I dispatch my fleet to defend their colony from the Drengin, even if it means technically violating the Altarians' borders in order to do so? And finally, could that type of action improve relations with my ally? There are no borders. You can simply attack the Drengin. I do not believe this will
The Yor just asked me for aid against the Drath, and the response that was pre-filled in the Diplomacy screen was "And jump on the sinking ship that is the Drengin? Doubtful". The response should be "sinking ship that is the Yor?". I'll send a screen shot to gc2bugs.
