Reply to no research labs v2.8 in GalCiv III Support Stardock.net Forums

[quote who="pheonixstorm" reply="12" id="3701223"] Even in 2.7 there was no Research Lab outside of the campaigns, only Xeno Research. At least for Crusade. [/quote] In Crusade Xeno Research Laboratory is indeed the base research building, however, Research Laboratory does exist, but it is exclusive to civs that have the Intuitive ability.

From what I remember they are based on attack and defense and were used to decide what role the ship fulfilled. Until some users complained they couldn't choose what role a ship had and it was changed.

Does it have the immune to culture flip tag? What is its resistance stat? The higher it is the more influence is required to flip it. Other thing that comes to mind is maybe the UP resolution that blocks culture flipping was passed.

[quote who="Inferno83" reply="60" id="3700292"] Rhonin you could push this arc further with the alien providing information on the direction the other ships travelled in the hope you could return more of its people home. You then have the choice to look for more ships, learning more about their culture. Upon returning a number home, you will have learned the reason they sent vessels out was due to the discovery of an ancient Precursor artifact that was found within a vast subsea crater.

Some more ideas for quests and events Tywom pirates A group or Tywom after their offer of friendship has been rejected one too many times have decided to obtain "friends" by more aggressive methods. They will engage the player and unless a member of the crew is offered as payment they will attack. Rogue Pinthi While most Pinthi are ashamed of the atrocities they have caused, this group is not. Fully accepting of the fact t

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3699885"] Speaking of which, they're back up on GOG. [/quote] That's good to hear. The new ships have similar color schemes, this applies mostly to those of the Crux, I wonder if that was by design. In battles the planet's gravity is too strong I actually found enjoyable tearing apart the Hegemony A major weakness of the game is the fact that events are time related, so for long pe

[quote who="bleybourne" reply="35" id="3699855"] I don't disagree with most of what you said, but this is just a pathetic point-grabbing nitpick, and you know it. Be they rectangles, dots, or little pictures of Adolf Hitler, the point he was making was distinct *things* that were representative of people as opposed to a bar graph. And you knew that but decided to correct him anyway. Pretty weak, dude.[/quote] I was more poking fun that he fought for a change that was different th

regarding the battles, the ships feel too big and the battle zone too small you don't even get RU from destroying enemy ships, which is a bit sad some sequence breaking as I can talk about the Crux without even meeting them I actually like most of the new species the battle of the second anomaly was intense I think you can get ships a little too easily, it was not that hard to form an armada I'm still not sure what posse

cuorebrave, you are jumping to conclusions based on things that have not even been stated. [quote who="cuorebrave" reply="16" id="3699762"] On a separate, but related note, why do you think everyone lobbied so hard to have Crew Dots instead of Health Bars?

[quote who="Awkbird" reply="12" id="3699738"] Sure, but they already did that in UQM in 1992 and I don't see it being hard to do now in 2018. I'm talking less about bounties and more about how those actions impact how the plot actually develops. [/quote] My comment was directed solely at bounties. Though I could see it that you attracted bounty hunters more in the space of aliens from which you pirated from. [quote who="Awkbird" reply="12" id="3699738"] In

One problem with different reputations, a bounty hunter wouldn't care if the Mu'kay or Scryve are the ones paying the bill. Well I imagine most wouldn't. Still I think it would be good idea if attacking freighters belonging to the to a particular species would upset them.

Thoughts on Kessari Quadrant in Star Control II StarControl Forums

I started to play Kessari Quadrant, also known as Star Control 3, here are my thoughts so far: not a fan of the moving star map, glad it can be paused, neither of the fact that it's 3D considering that it is displayed in 2D I dislike that they use the same dialog lines from SC2, I understand it is for the benefit of new players to learn about the returning species, but they could have at least changed it up some more if hyper space travel broke down how can

I'm curious, what is the relation between Cider and Nitrous? I actually liked the planet landings from Mass Effect 1, sure the Mako's handling could have used some improvements, the maps could have been bigger and the locations visited, I'm talking about bases and mines here, could have used some variety. But all in all I found it fun. "By default, the game procedurally generates planets. But the World Crafter lets us go to a planet and customize it by placing th

Are your drivers up to date? Another thing you could try is to verify the integrity of game cache, but I'm not sure that will help. Last resort would be to uninstall the game, as detailed here under The Purge and then install the game again.
