Reply to Just started my first game in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="George Simpson" reply="6" id="3460282"] That works too, but I feel a little dumb moving the mouse over and wiggling the scroll wheel back and forth when I want to move a couple of screens over.[/quote] Once you go black, you never go back! Or something like that.

Reply to Just started my first game in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Having come off of a recent non-galactic civ kick, I have to say I miss a couple of their interface features. Being able to pan by moving the mouse past the edge of the screen rather than dragging would be hugely appreciated, as would the ability to move a unit even after you've pressed 'pass' to put them idle for the turn. I'm hoping that the movement point loss is just a temporary implementation of the command, otherwise that's go

Let us play with no AI! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yo. The title is fairly self-explanatory; I would like if we could play the game with no AI opponents, barring anomalies and events. This way we could just peacefully build and experience the galaxy alone, as opposed to jostling with the enemy. It's pretty much just an empire builder at that point, but not enough games let you do this. Anyone else have this desire?

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="2" id="3459391"] The legality of it hasn't been challenged in court. Mostly because...who's going to sue over this? Really? [/quote] A friend of mine was sued over accidentally spilling coffee on a woman's purse and ruining some 'family heirlooms'. Suing over this would be trivial in today's litigious society. :D

Well... isn't that basically a legal scam? The names aren't official to the IAU, and barring a few outlying exceptions with planets (Bellerophon, Osiris, Zarmina) they don't give extrasolar objects proper names.

Fighters in scifi are the coolest thing ever, but in a hard/realistic setting they just don't work.

[quote who="joeball123" reply="20" id="3459069"] [/quote] I wrote about half of my response to this post until Google Chrome decided it had enough and closed. So I'll just boil the argument for space fighters to the bare bones: 1. We like things that go fast. 2. We like things that go "Pew, Pew" 3. Something that goes fast and goes "Pew, Pew" is therefore good. 4. Ergo, space fighters are feasible.

[quote who="EleventhStar" reply="16" id="3459024"] wireless power transfer has a whole slew of problems with it, if its a omnidirectional power field its power will drop off with the cube of the distance. at which point your better off using that power for a big canon. If its a directed/beam power transfer, the fighter cant be more then a few lightseconds from the carrier before the beam not hitting the craft becomes a serious problem because the carrier cant predict where the craft is

[quote who="EleventhStar" reply="14" id="3458927"] don;t have much time right now, but yes it would be a hard setting. basically, anything a fighter does, a missile can do better. another example is that a missile doesn't need to make a 2 way trip, which means that if it has the same mass/fuel as a figher, it can use 4x more fuel on range/evasive maneuvers then a fighter can, who would need that fuel to return to the carrier.[/quote] That w

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="3" id="3458910"] As much as I hope this becomes true, I think it will require more than an increase in intelligence. Human nature itself will need to be modified.

One of those two.

This has been wanted for a very long time by a large number of people,. hopefully they do it. I just want to be able to liberate a previously-conquered world and return it to its rightful owners for a diplomacy bonus. That would be cool.
