Reply to A request for more medals in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hm, I know I have few medals, but perhaps the 'former' medals should be called "Achieved" rather than former...sounds a bit better :D And what about a medal for empire position? Perhaps the top 3 members of our empires should be acknoledged? It may not mean much for smaller empires, but it's certainly prestigious if you're in the top 10 of the White Council or GROSS or one of the larger empires... ~SDC~

Reply to Habitat skill et al. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The 3 points is worth more...just on a cost/benefit analysis... It's just adding a percentage to your PQ...it's not noticable until you actually put PQ improvements on it, but it does come into affect... I'm not fanatical enough to know the calculations, but it's basically stacking in another PQ bonus on top of your PQ enhancing structures... ~SDC~

Reply to Ship design poll: I can't answer it in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yeah...it'd be better to have 'offensive', 'defensive' and different configurations like that... Maybe even changable when the ship docks for different mission payloads (Ie. when somebody declares war on you and there's a juicy resource starbase nearby...) Putting individual components on the ships ala Stars! or Starships Unlimited would really be different from GalCiv... ~SDC~

[quote]May I inquire, because I DO hear about them often- what are rangers?[/quote] It's a capital ship... You need cloaking, and a buncha other techs...I haven't noticed it actually being invisible (though that could be the 1.4 description I'm thinking of) It looks kinda neat... Haven't made your way up the tech tree, eh? :) ~SDC~

Deleting/Removing Movies (bik) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Alright, so I've managed to remove Intro.bik and sf_intro.bik by adding a .backup to their filename... Faster game load for us addicts, you know... Now which .bik is the movie file that plays at the beginning of a new game? I've been thinking of removing that as well... ~SDC~

Reply to Is their any Race modding program? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You mean the minor races? The major's alignments are set at the start of the game afterall... And It'd be nice if we actually had more control over their alignments too... ~SDC~

Reply to Colonizing Question in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think he wants you to be able to have multiple races in the same system (but on different planets). I'd imagine this is impossible, because a lot of things are handled on a 'system' basis rather than a 'planet' basis. ~SDC~

Reply to Minor Stole All the Drengin Techs Message in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It's very annoying... I'm a fan of being technologically advanced and bankrupting the aliens as much as possible (My last game I made 233BC a turn with an average income of -1066BC :D ) But then a new minor pops up and argh! He's got my tech and my cash and builds up wonders and trade goods. :( Stupid uppity minors... ~SDC~

Reply to Trans-Species Mating? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hm, gravity, temprerature, radiation level? Reminds me of Stars!, which is a different type of game entirely... ...and in fact is dealt with in a sideways fashion through PQ (of course, this means all aliens prefer the same type of worlds, but if they didn't, the whole 'get best planets, not most' wouldn't apply.) If you take a look at that game, you'll see why it works for them, but you'll also get the impression that it would needlessly complicates things here... Much lik

Although if you have a good enough range, the survey ship often clears out the anomalies on the far side... Of course, then you have to build more survey ships... ~SDC~

Reply to Preferred degree of scattering? in Strategies Stardock Forums

Less habitable planets is actually easier for me, I've found...I really don't know why. Maybe because with a few good worlds, I can micromanage better... Recently, I've just noticed building everything is not good (Yeah, only recently :p ) so I've yet to set up my own favoured build list... Heck, I haven't even used multiple build lists before... ~SDC~

Reply to A.I. loyalty? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I meant 'logically', as in "inferring from the previous post", not questioning the logic from the post. Brain fart :notsure: [quote]A 60 or 40 doesn't change your screen though... [/quote] Errr, I think it's 70-30, but I could be really wrong. :p ~SDC~

Reply to A.I. loyalty? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

That logical implies that "Neutral" is 50, "Pure" anything is a + or - 40, while "Chaotic" anything is a + or - 10... A 60 or 40 doesn't change your screen though... ~SDC~

Ship models in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

To my knowledge (from browsing the boards) the ships are rendered in full 3D, but are displayed top-down, correct? What a big waste...surely there's a way of using all the pretty graphics? Having the ships tilt while turning? Or have them rock (like a boat on choppy waves) whilst moving forward? Something to show off all the hard work put into the models, in otherwords... It'd be a neat idea :d ~SDC~

The Canadian theme is to be friendly until you look the otherway, then send in our beaver commandos and nuclear canoes. ;) Wait, I shouldn't have told you that. :notsure: Ahhh! The loons are after me! :sniff!: ~SDC~

Reply to Preferred degree of scattering? in Strategies Stardock Forums

Personally, I like tight clusters for maps large or bigger... If I manage to get 3 stars in one system, then my starbase's enchancement modules affect a lot of colonies :d Of course, it's only my 5th game or so, so I could be horribly messing myself up... ~SDC~
