Reply to X2 v GalCiv in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have both games and although I am a big fan of space flight games, GalCiv is by far the better of the two. I still play GalCiv but not X2. I don't think they can be directly compared either, they may vaguely have similar themes of conquest, but they present the player with very different tools, play environment and game mechanics to work with. I think you have made the right purchase choice. ;) ~SDC~

Reply to Problem with ScenarioEditor 1.0.0.1 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

CariElf, I thought similarly about the updated version of AP, so I have uninstalled and Reinstalled AP to a new folder location. Due to this, the editor date is 07/06/2004 - the reinstall date. The editor is still malfunctioning - but this time is over writing the Acceleration.GCScenario custom scenario that comes with AP. Thanks

Problem with ScenarioEditor 1.0.0.1 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have found a problem with saving custom scenarios with the latest verion of the Editor. Basically, I have found that no matter what you name the new scenario, it is saved OVER the last saved scenario. In my case the last scenario was one I created with the Beta version. The new version of the Editor does not create a new scenario file, it just over writes the last successfuly saved file. :notsure:

Reply to Suggestions for GalCiv II in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I agree with much of what has been said about evolving GalCiv II but also think that we need to be careful not to turn GalCiv II into MOO4 or the like. :p I like the idea of being able to mine system resources, Conquest:Frontier Wars did this quite well I think. I'd also like to see the ability to modify the starting parameters of each game more. AP has now introduced senarios, but I'd like to see this expanded: 1] I'd like to setup a senario where every race's homeworld i

Reply to Suggestions for GalCiv II in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Some things i'd like to see would be: 1. [quote]Adressing the issue of space terrain[/quote] I'd suggest gas clouds/nebula that could span many parsecs and have influence on movement, perhaps even have different types that take or give attributes to ships/fleets, cause damage. :d 2. An option to zoom in on battles i.e. micro-manage fleet battles if desired. This could be expanded with formations, experience etc. This could also be done for Invasions too. I'm thinking along the lines of

Reply to Altarian Prophecy - I have a problem in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]No, it doesn't seem to matter where SDC is installed.[/quote] I agree with you, my system partition is E:, SDC is installed to G: and I have all my other games installed to H: - including GalCiv 1.20. I recall that GalCiv is on H: as I installed it from the CD. I have even tried messing with an archived version of GC:AP and its files but to no avail...it still installs to E: Any comments from Stardock?

Problem with modified Colonyship in Mods Stardock Forums

I'm doing a bit of a mod and want to modify the Colonyship to allow it take over the function of the Troop Transport. I have added the Ability "Troops" and added Max Capacity as per the Troop Transport .ship entry. However, in game, I can load up a colonyship and send it to an enemy colony but it will not 'invade'. >:( It will put down a colony like normal on a new world, however. :) I must have missed something in some other file, but I can not fine it. Any help wo

Altarian Prophecy - I have a problem in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

This is not a bug in the true sense of the term, thus I have not posted this in the Bug thread. I have noticed that you are not given a choice as to where GC:AP installs. By default it is installing to the same drive where windows is located. :sniff!: This for me is unacceptable as I do not allow anything to install on my Windows drive that is not either part of windows or a shell extension/intergration. Thus I can not allow GC:AP to be installed. (:( Even my 'Program Files' folder is

Custom Map start settings in Mods Stardock Forums

I've created myself a custom map. I want to change the default planet and ship setups to fit with the map. Can this be done, and if so how. The ideal inital setup configuration would be to have each race start the game with a colony ship, carrying 30, and 2 scouts. No homeworld. If each race must have a homeworld, then I'd like to set it as something shitty, thus forcing the races to explore, say a class 10 world - catastrophic disaster or something. By default the game is over-riding

Reply to Altarian Prophecy (Beta) Bug Reports in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm playing 1.49N[RC], and have come across a small graphical annoyance. In several of the Campaign missions I have turned Good and got the White interface. However there is a problem with the ship/group fleet/unfleet panel, although it displays its contents correctly, it has 2 top horizontal borders that cut into the panel. When this occurs the panel only displays either a Fleet or an Unfleet icon, not both. ~SDC~

Reply to Bug report for 1.10.072 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]Does the system have an active rally point?[/quote] Good point, I'll check it out. It would be wrong, IMHO, for a rally point to over ride the auto-launch setting. The rally point should only affect ships that auto-launch, not manual launch ship.
