Hm, strange that I can't change my name to 'Captain Sherbert' when there was no problem with 'Grand Admiral Sherbert' before. Oh well, I guess I don't need the space.

Hmm, I guess it's time for me to get 'demoted'.

[quote] Sherb, only the random maps with more than 1 star are having this issue (the stars are too close together, right?) [/quote] Yeah, I looked at it again, and the icons are missing only in the gravity wells that the other systems overlap. So I guess having sufficient distance between systems would make it go away.

The no icons thing makes it very difficult to coordinate a battle, because it is impossible to tell where the enemy ships are unless they're being targeted.

Reply to How to counter enemy culture? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

depends how many broadcast centers were around that planet, I've noticed if its 2 or more, you almost have to destroy them to be able to see the culture lines recede. I don't remember. There was at least one broadcast center. I think most of the stuff in orbit was gone before the colony was destroyed, so the culture was probably already decreasing by the time I was looking for it.

Reply to How to counter enemy culture? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I didn't notice it take very long for the enemy culture to drop when I invaded. But maybe it was only partially developed to begin with.

Reply to Learn from past space game mistakes! in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Karmashock, your posts are very offensive. I am neither an idiot nor a complete f'ing moron, and I think I would enjoy the game physics the way they currently are a lot more than trying to implement what you suggest. You are entitled to your opinion, and you are also entitled to express it, but please refrain from being insulting to people (no matter how superior to them you may feel you are).

From a month ago I was definitely not at war with anybody. I have not been able to reliably reproduce the behavior. If you can get a save game file right before it happens, send it in so it can be looked at.

I think it would be fairly difficult to carbon date something that contains no carbon.

If you contact a different race for diplomacy, you can offer to attack the race you want war with. Also, attempting to attack any ship/base of the race you want war with will prompt you to declare war.

In other words, doesn't whether light "looks like" a wave or a particle depend on your observation technique? Yes. I believe that light is neither particle nor wave, but rather is something else that hasn't truly been classified. The reason we state that it demonstrates the properties of a particle in some instances and a wave in others is beca

You need 'close' relations with the person you want to ally with. To get multiple transports in one invasion, put them in a fleet.

that gravity is so strong in a black hole that light cannot escape You say that like its proof that light must have weight in order for that to happen, which just isn't true. Light cannot escape a black hole because the curvature of space-time is so severe. It's like a 'hole' in space. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=cen

Go to your empire page in the Metaverse. If you click on 'Join Empire', it will bring up your characters. Next to the one in the empire should be a button 'Leave Empire'.

Reply to Any idea how to get GalCiv to process turns when it doesn't have focus? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

There may be a way to get GalCiv and your internet browser to run in separate threads simultaneously; I'm not certain how at the moment.

Reply to The meaning of it all in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

If light is matter as well as energy does it weigh anything? NO Light demonstrates properties of particles and waves, but it cannot 'weigh anything' because it has no mass. If it had any mass, it would be unable to travel at the 'speed of light'. It is not accurate to describe light as 'matter', since it has no mass.<br/

Reply to Any idea how to get GalCiv to process turns when it doesn't have focus? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You could try having GalCiv run in a window and move it out of the way while you view the forum page. That way you can keep the game 'active' while reading the forum. Of course the game would go 'inactive' whenever you needed to scroll or click in the forum...

Reply to UI - Governors - Upgrade Planetary Improvement Type in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

1) ability to have my improvements not auto-upgrade when a new improvement becomes available that obsoletes the existing improvement. This is unessential since I can just mod all the obsolete tags out, but it would be nice to keep them since it shuffles the obsolete buildings to the "Old" tab. You can already stop auto-upgrade.

Peacetime Destruction - bug? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Something rather strange happened in the game I was playing. A number of my mines were destroyed by AI ships without them declaring war on me. As near as I could tell, they were trying to move through that space and did not autopilot around like my ships normally do.

Reply to uncertain, long term rewards for ethical decisions in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I have to say this philosophical discussion is fascinating, but I would like to know: how does it apply to the game? If you have feedback relevant to the game mechanic in question, please share it. It would be appreciated if you refrained attacking someone else's input. If you disagree with someone's premise in what they are offering, that's fine - offer your suggestion. That does not mean you should start an argument. (Please note that this is not directed at one person - the 'you'
