So please leave it out![/quote] ever play "spaceward ho!"? you had fairly simple space combat and simple ship design. you just adjusted the speed, range, def, offense, and other. the cost of the ship would go up and down depending on how you pioritized. simple fun. or just choose the default. i also read that the cost per ship would go down the more you made, but

http://www.cdgroup.org/forums/tbs/gc/viewtopic.php?t=349 using the encoder is confusing and i still haven't gotten a ship in there but maybe this will help you. the ship rotator seemed simple enough to use. just enter in the image you want rotated, hit rotate, and then save the film strip as a tga file.

We're already capable of just assigning planets to all the major races--we do it for testing purposes--but we just need the time to test it as more than just a debugging aid.

During a simple diplomatic exchange, PontiusBruinPilot inadvertantly misspelled the first name of the leader of the Terra Ex Machina. Tensions have spiraled out of control and this morning the G.R.O.S.S. received a note from the Terra Ex Machina that only war would teach them manners. Critics of G.R.O.S.S have argued that if they had only spent some resources on espionage that this could have been averted by greater understanding of the Terra Ex Machina culture. 100% of the voting popul

The galaxy has become an increasingly violent place. The G.R.O.S.S. and The Republic are at war. Neither seem to be winning the war. The Republic will need help to survive or hope for mercy from their enemies. The war has been going on for about 45 minutes and it's not known how much longer it will take to reach final victory. Terra Ex Machina Today Magazine published yesterday an article pointing out that if you took the economic rating of The Republic and comb

cool! thank you dark rain, much appreciated. i haven't had time to learn any advanced paint programs, plus it is a bit hard to practice on galciv given how much you need to do to test one ship model. not to mention i hate re-downloading stuff to use even if it is free.
