Thanks for this useful pointer Mike. :)

Salvaging population on decommisioned colony ships in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

After the land rush, is there any way to unload colony ship population on a planet prior to decommisioning the ship??? If not, it would be a nice and realistic feature. I hate having population sitting idle on obsolete colony ships. :notsure:

To help safeguard your trade routes, try to trade with the minors before a major that you may have future conflict with. ;)

Reply to Crazy Torian Constructors Everywhere! (Bug?) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm playing 1.03 and also getting crushed by the Torian constructor plague (there like locusts). They basically gobble up all resources and max out the stations before I can even crank out a few constructors. Definitely a BIG game cramper. :sniff!:

Reply to Capital ships should be able to attack planets in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I agree with atommanji. Too often attacking AIs obliterate my planetary ships but never follow through with ground troops. Therefore, I often leave the planet unguarded or simply crank out one defender every turn or so to prevent occupation. If planetary bombardment was an option, I'd have a whole new set of worries. Of course, this would need to be balanced with various planet shielding upgrades. :)

These are all great responses and suggestions. A bunch of you guys should get together and market an unofficial strategy guide. ;) Thanks again. Humane :)

Economics, Economics, Economics in Strategies Stardock Forums

No matter how good of a start I get, all of the AI players swamp me economically. What is the trick to having kick-ass economics (besides trade/starbase upgrades). What early research programs and social improvements are essential??? :notsure:

Reply to Brad's Starbase Thread... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I second FDHjr's comments in that realism trumps: (1) maintenance costs a must (for base and per module) (2) limit resources and bases to 1-2 and 2-3 per sector, respectively :D

Starbase question in Strategies Stardock Forums

I was under the impression that you could only build starbases on resource icons. Can you build them anywhere? If so, how to you trigger the constructor to build. It usually only prompts me when I get over a resourse. :p

metaverse submission problem in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

OK. I submitted my first win to metaverse without a hitch. Now I'm trying to submit my second win but when I hit the submit button it just bounces me to the main menu. I checked the metaverse and the score isn't there. Has anyone else had this happen??? >:(

Combat Question in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Is there anyway of targeting a select ship in an invading stack (e.g., I would like to knock out an enemy transport in a stack before it hits my planet). If this is not possible, it would be a great upgrade for tactical combat - of course it would probably need to be balanced by planetary bombardment by non-transport attackers). LOL

Reply to Major Diplomacy War/Peace Cheese at Intelligent levels in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Can someone explain the keystrokes for selling attacks on one race to another race. Perhaps I'm just dumb and blind but I can't see it intuitively on the race diplomacy screen... :notsure:

How do you sell war declarations on one race to another?

Research Question in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You have the option of constructing Research Labs (+25% research) on EACH of your planets. Are these bonuses additive since research is conducted at the empire level or should you only bother to build a research lab on ONE planet? THX :D

Reply to Sick to Death of SDC in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Thanks Elrikk. That did the trick (lower left hand button) Now if only 1.02 wasn't so buggy (we can only hope they get this game straightened soon)

Sick to Death of SDC in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

OK. I finally figured out how to update to 1.02 without downloading the entire 80+ MB file. I got 90% of the way through the 4MB 1.02 update download and got the following error message (which I cannot get around): Extract File: C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\temp\Base\galciv.ex_ Result: Failed (deleted file) Installation aborted (failed) Can anyone please tell me how I can get 1.02???? Thanks, Hopeless in DC

Reply to FAQ: SDCentral registration and other issues in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

LordZero, I know your pain. I can't get updates either despite trying how to , FAQ and recommendation givin to me by users and Stardock personnel. I am afraid to start from scratch yet again given your horror story. I wish they would simply put up downloadable updates/patches for the all the customers throughout these threads who simply cannot get this SDC thing to work reliably and consistently. I love the game but quite frankly I've put it aside until I can get an update that addresse
