Does anyone read the replies to their own posts before re-posting again? :notsure:
Feargus: You may or may not trigger auto-pilot depending on how you select the ship. - Using the F3 ship list to select ships will activate auto-pilot - Selecting a ship in the stack through the ship list on the lower right side of the screen will activate auto-pilot Avoid these two situations and you should be fine.
When you select a stack of ships, only the first unit on top is affected. In other words, if you were trying to cancel sentry/guard/auto-pilot, you can only cancel the order for the first unit in a stack. The easiest work around for this problem is to fleet and un-fleet the stack quickly I think.
If you just want the immediate prerequisites: Panath's Tech Tree: http://www.panath.com:8080/ Most of us running fan sites get our information from here though... Javascout's DB: http://webpages.charter.net/trevorpowdrell/ Oh, shameless plug too... My Tech Tree: http://galciv.bsd.st/zai_h/ I think thongor and a few others have tech trees too, but I haven't bookmarked them yet ;p
More specifically, no "wait" command that will delay ship orders past the auto-pilot phase.
That's the point, there is no "wait" command :notsure:

Err... the "i" button is only there after you've selected that ship of course...
You can change ship orders by clicking the little "i" button on the bottom of the screen or double clicking the ship. I wish the "W" key would be bound to "wait" and allow ship orders to be delayed past the auto-pilot phase or something...
That was unecessary, Huzurdaddi... let's hope taco doesn't take the bait.
We're all too busy playing to write a comprehensive strategy guide. Maybe Stardock can introduce a fatal bug into some future update and prompt us to do some writing instead ;)
Overlords cost 1,800 to build now, so AMMs are still more cost effective and cheaper to maintain. The majority of my fleet in any game is now composed of AMMs in fact. I might keep a handful of Rangers, Overlords, and Excaliburs, but otherwise I ignore all other ships in favor of AMMs. The tech spacing between Battleship and Overlords is just too close, so it doesn't make sense to invest in units that will become obsolete in less than two game years. AMMs remain useful all the way till the end o
What should be made clear in the guide is that there are two types of influence. 1): UP Votes 2): Sector Influence (F8 report) The influence you can trade through diplomacy are of the first kind, whereas sector ownership and planet defections are determined by the later. I think Brad's article on influence focuses on sector influence too. Perhaps we should have the UP votes specifically named "UP Votes" and add a small line in the F5 UP window that influence determines how
The updates are hidden in Software -> Drengin.net. I think Stardock might want to make SDC launch into that window if the program was downloaded through the GalCiv site so players aren't confused.
GalCiv sliders are propotional sliders, not absolute sliders. If three sliders were at max/max/zero, the percentages would be 50/50/0. The icon size is just a visual reminder of how much you are spending into that area. It serves no other purpose I am aware of.
midnight_louie: So where exactly do we disagree? LOL
Only attack matters, but some of the high attack units such as Anti-Matter Missiles seem to have a multiplier that reduces their rating somewhat. Perhaps the formula starts out linearily then drops off with diminishing returns to keep things in check. Regardless, one AMM is still worth several Dreadnoughts in terms of military power I think.
Ellestar: I'm quite sure ;) Let me give you an example though. Suppose we have a planet with 30 production... Production Capacity = 30 Paid Production = 30 Bonus Production = 0 Total Production = 30 Now we build a starbase with a +100% production bonus next to it. Since half of a starbase's bonus are free, and the other is paid for... Production Capacity = 60 Paid Production = 45 Bonus Production = 15 Total Production = 60
I would like to see the following settings for auto-launch related topics: 1): Empire wide auto-launch 2): Empire wide colony ship ignores auto-launch 3): Empire wide auto-queue last auto-launched ship (i.e. if you just auto-launched a contructor, put another constructor in my military queue please) 4): Empire wide default military project or an option to change military projects from "Nothing" to something. Playing a gigantic game with over a hundred colonies and 1
Or I should say, don't build wonders and trade goods until you have a super planet and a significant tech lead. This is nearly impossible to achieve on higher difficulty levels, so it's often better to just buy them instead of worrying about who will build them first.
Don't build wonders and trade goods, always buy them as soon as you can. You don't want them tying up production on your good planets and hindering development of normal infrastructure.
F4 -> Stats -> Societies -> Colonies Game does not recognize empires with more than 100 colonies. I haven't counted my planets yet, but this figure has been stuck at 100 even after I've devoured a few neighbors.
BoogieBac: The link doesn't seem to be working, and I don't me the forum parsing what you just wrote, but the actual link from the GalCiv Encyclopedia to the Stardock page. The page is there, but it looks like the GalCiv server doesn't want to re-direct traffic. When I can get a link too? ;) My Tech Tree: http://galciv.bsd.st/zai_h/
