COntrol what does and doesnt group together in Groupy Stardock Forums

Hello all, i run groupy and it does function as intended however it seems to be REALLY aggressive about what it groups. Is there a way to make it only group similar programs, like multiple instance of Notepad or Word, or something. Not oops my spreadsheet got about a half inch from a sticky note now my sheet is tiny and stuck in something I clearly would never group together. I assume I am missing something in configuration\setup. Any a

Wow, one suggestion that you don't agree with and I'm a "fanboy". Really? I expect this from a COD forum, which is populated by teens, but I thought I could pose a suggestion here without name calling from people who disagree. As TBS games don't tend to have the same demographic. At this point, if everyone feels SOOOOO strongly about this, that it forces people to not be able to discuss something without name calling, please let this thread fade awa

OK, first off @Zydor First off, why are you in here trying to pick a fight with me? I asked a question, I did not come in the room push you and make statements trying to get you to swing at me, please stop behaving like I did. You obviosuly did NOT read my entire post as I did NOT want anything about one fighterjock kicking@$$ and taking name out here, infact I stated, in caps, much the opposite. If you don't like my idea, that is fine, do not take it as

Reply to Tactical combat. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I came to GalCiv from MOO originally. I am for tactical combat, but in no way to the almost painfull endgame level MOO2 had it. More emphasis on ship design, not this piece adds overal armor, but more of put a bunch of plate armor in the front and keep your nose pointed to the action, so what is where is actually important. So Fore/Aft/port/starboard/dorsal/ventral matters. The compoinent level of control from MOO2 was great **SOMETIMES** and others it was in the way

Fighters/Drones, Command modules and carriers in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

As there is definitely some interest in diversioty in ships, which has lead to the tactical arguement as well as some starbase changes. One thing I was thinking was fighter craft, be it piloted or drones. Interceptors, fleet defense, patrol bombers etc. That adds some more options and ideas in combat. Its not just your giant ship versus mine trading blows, but with the fighters idea it can open the door to a LOT of diversity. And while I am also a Wingcommander

Reply to improvements to starbase upgrades? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Agreed, Constructor spam really did just get to be too much after a while. I frequently did cultural domination backed by a big fleet, and to do the starbase walk was tedius. I know that starbases shouldn't be able to be built and rebuilt instantly, BUT, there needs to be a better way than that. Also, in late game when everyones techs were really solid, a completely maxxed out military starbase was a VERY easy target for anyone with a descent fleet. I think being

When new techs are researched in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

This is not really game changing in any way. But in GC2, one thing I always enjoyed about it, was when you researched a new tech, you got that automated guy making wise cracks about it, like "Now the laiens working in our warehouses REALLY are aliens! Get it?" That stuff. Can you make a point of having that included and expanded on, it always cracked me up, the dry/silly humorjust fit into the game so well. Serious thinking game, that has stuff that still makes y

Reply to AI Tech taunts in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

A disable button is NOT a bad idea at all, somehting checked in the options, or even at the beginning of a game. I did find it amusing to a degree, but it was a bit too repetitive, maybe more wit? GC2 had LOADS of wit already, why not add more here?

Reply to All of that scrap metal just goes to waste. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yeah, exactly, I agree 100% there, I dig my idea still, but if yours was implimented, i'd be happy. As long as you cvould have **some** control there, like science modules and salvage modules on vessels. Higher the science rating of the fleet the higher chance of finding tech, possibly relating that to how many ships were in the enemy fleet or its size. As I wouldnt want an exploit from having a huge fleet tackling lone scouts/explorers, and at the same time, if I take o

Reply to All of that scrap metal just goes to waste. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I agree, this would be an excellent idea. Infact, this made me think of somehting, as I really want some improvements in combat to begin with (like control) mayby targetabgle vitals and systems, that way you could disable engines and use salvage craft to steal the ship. Knock power off line, drag it back to a space dock or planet, if the crew won't surrended, easy enough,blow a small hole in it and space them, few turns for a repair and you are golden with a b

Reply to My first game and a 7x research tile in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="LTjim" reply="3" id="3304120"] Remember that you can get only N+1 tech gains per turn, where N equals the number of colonized planets. This could be limiting if you research some line and then switch to another research line at the basic tech level. That is, if you, say, research five levels of civ type and then switch to Missiles, you could get only 1 more level gain that turn as you have planets. [/quote] Hmm, I was not familiar with

@Zarnick How high of production should I be at? Once im up and going, im normally at or around 75-85 depending on the galactic economy. @ Publius of NV I already look toward the biggest and best first. However once other races start encroaching, I grab the other worlds within my borders, as I have found, when I don't im almost always in for a fight in short order. I also usually end up being Neutral, if that matters. I grab

Im sure im missing something in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hi all, I have played GC2 (Ult Edition) for quite some time, fairly off and on, and there have been some thing I have never really gotten the hang of. 1 - money, and 2 - racial interactions. Money as a basic thing I get, btu in the first few hundred turns, I am always strapped for cash and/or having to keep my production at or below 60%,just to keep myself in the black (never more than 25bc per turn and normally around 10). And I am

Maybe im part of the, what is sounding rather small at the moment, multiplayer fan group. But, I like single and Multi. I think it as an expansion would be an awesome idea. Me and a budy of mine have done TBS's co-op since we were 16/17 whether it was hotseat or LAN or however it had to work. It added a different type of game play, building as a cooperative, and our builds were specifically to build with each other, and we had alot of fun doing that over the years, inf
