LOL, very good idea! However, some of them (all of 'em) don't show up in the diplomacy list. But I will certainly do that.. Brilliant! Thanks, I do *so* need money! ~SDC~

That was what I was hoping to do myself. I've put in a bug report. :notsure: ~SDC~

Reply to AI doesn't colonize class 14 and below? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I've just read the strategy guide that Brad put out and it seems that the idea of colonizing (in my case classes 11-14 planets) and then building them up via improvements is a "really bad" idea. The tax rate of these planets means that one will have economic difficulties quite soon. I think soon I'm going to play a game where I will not colonize more than a few stars w class 18 (or maybe 20, if I can find them) planets. Seems some of the AIs do that and they are doing great! H

This ship is on orbit around a star. So, I have to take the following steps to decomission it. 1. double click on ths ship brings the star in focus. I then have to open the star and select that ship from all the ships in orbit and move it out of orbit. Then click on it to activate it, then click on the decomission button, then click on the confirmation panel. Then repeat numerous times .. once for each of the 64 Corvette class Pre-cursor ships I accidentally discovered. (Which

OK, here is a "buglet" for ya. Display list of ships (F3). Select a ship, its info comes up on the ship info panel near the bottom middle of the screen, with an active "discard" button on the info panel. Pressing the "discard" button wil lattempt to discard an active ship somewhere wlse in the galaxy, NOT the ship selected via the ship list. ~SDC~

Reply to Conquering Planets in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Easy one I can answer. The *entire* population of the planet counts as the troops your invaders are up against. And you should wait for a bit later in the game to invade. The Combat Transports hold up to 5 Billion troops and are armoured as well, so they can withstand an enemy attack. ~SDC~

Excalibur class ships in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I thought I saw some reference in the game to these, and I recall that in the OS/2 version of the game they were my best ships, but I can't seem to find the necessary technologies in the new game to research them. Do they still exist? Thanks ~SDC~

I *need* the following ;) 1. Ability to dismiss ships from the ship list, without returning to other displays in between (have you ever tried decomissioning >100 ships in one turn? *tedious*...) 2. The two views of the galaxy (standard and tactical) for the planet list is great! Can you guys provide same on the ship list? I'd be nice to get a graphic idea of where my ships are relative to the other Civilizations'. Thanks guys! ~SDC~

OK, what about the full-screen one? I *need* larger resolution of starmaps and was considering upgrading my monitor? will the fullscreen version play in > 1024x768? Thanks ~SDC~

Decomissioning old battleships in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have not found a quick method of destroying large,obsolete fleets as a method to reduce my spending. Anyone here has a painless way of destroying excess inventory? Especially hard/difficult is Combat Transports (and they cost 5BC/turn!) Reason is I have run into a weird game. Playing on the largest possible Galaxy, with abundant planets, all of the races has suddenly had an economic collapse. I was garnering abou 3,300BC/turn in revenue, but I am still able to only spend about 7BC on
