Reply to Idea for Multiplayer includes the Ship Designer in Ideas Stardock Forums

Yeah, I think it would be a nice and welcome addition to what is already a superbly enjoyable game. I was actually thinking of SC2 a little bit when contemplating the idea. I DO agree with OctaviusVIII that it would be best if they added a bit more depth, though, to the combat if they decided to do something like this. Though I'm happy with the combat as it is for the SP portion of the game, don't get me wrong! <img src="smiles/BigSmile.gif" border

Reply to Idea for Multiplayer includes the Ship Designer in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks, waitingtoconnect, I feel like it's a simple, easy way for the devs to implement some form of MP for those who would like to see it in the game. (I won't mind if the game never has any MP but it could only make the game better, imho, if done properly.) Veteran Supreme Shogan: I have read several other MP threads and this isn't so much a post about having MP as it is about a nifty idea that would incorporate the Ship Designer and be easy to implement to boot. I'm not sure if

Idea for Multiplayer includes the Ship Designer in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Hail my fellow Galactic Citizens! I was just mulling over the lack of Multiplayer in this game, which is not a problem for me, it's such a superb game overall, but I think I've thought of one fun way to incorporate it which would also include the ship-designer feature of GC2. You could have a small multiplayer feature where 2 or more players are given a set amount of points and allowed to build as many ships as possible with those points. They could build a few larger, mor

Reply to Stardock: Will the glitches be fixed?. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I think he has a right to post this concern. If he was doing it everywhere (spamming) and not giving them enough time even to fix the issues, then you can tell him to quit posting this kind of thing but for now, I think StarDock would probably be happy to know about the issues. Just my opinion.

Good points, ALF. I also agree that the only enjoyable thing about the mag these days is the Tom vs Bruce thing. However I loathe the Robert Coffey editorials because he so obviously tries too hard to impress with his vocabulary. It's almost painful. The last time I read someone so pompous and pretentious it was Gary Gygax's column in Dragon (I know, it's sacreligious to say that about one of the founders of D&D but it's true, unfortunately.) PC Gamer has always been a lot of fun,

I think that CGW has been on a slow slide to crapulence for a LONG time, that's what I think. This is just further proof of that. The torch has DEFINITELY been passed to PC Gamer and Computer Games, they're far better PC gaming magazines all around.

Reply to Perplexed by some things I've observed in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I don't even understand any of this talk about social production, LOL. I hope it becomes more understandable as I play the game more (I've only messed around with the game a few times so far, playing a few turns here and there after doing the tutorials and reading about half of the manual)... Why is it so bad if the game spends Social Production (SP) that you aren't using anyway? I'm cornfused... If it's easier to tell me just t

How do I stop planet from continually making ships?? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Sorry if this is a noobish question but how do I get a planet's shipyard to stop continuously making the same ship over and over again? First I've clicked on the planet to bring up the planet build screen, then I click on the shipyard link in the top right, then I click on cancel on the ship build screen that comes up but it doesn't stop them from being produced?!! Even after going into the OPTIONS menu before the game and shutting off the

Reply to Can I buy collector's edition now? (Post Release) in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Also, if you get it from a store who only JUST got it in stock, especially a store like EB or GS, then it will be considered a first-edition print run which StarDock has graciously said they will accept as a CE box as well, due to the mix-up with the shipping and all that crap, which wasn't their fault anyway. (Glares at TAKE-TWO...) Then all you do is get home, install the game, register your serial # on this site and download the 'enable CE Content program' from the Downloads area,

Reply to Collector's Edition? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed at the slightly clunky feel of the shipbuilding portion of the game, also not to be terribly ungrateful but it would have rocked to have MANY more pieces of jewelry and parts to make your ships with. One can hope that this will be something they can add in a patch or upgrade / expansion. HINT, HINT SD!!
