Reply to Sins Beta 1 - Gameplay Feedback - *Post Here* in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

My quick takes on beta 1: 1. I also think that jumping through wells should be impossible. I think ships should at least have to move far enough that they have a clear line of sight to their destination before jumping (this way they can't jump through the gravity well, but they won't have to move all the way to the other side of the well either). 2. Generally, I would like to know if the pacing/speed of the game is likely to change much? To me it is way to fast to really feel "

Reply to My thoughts in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

-The camera controls need to be reversed or at least have an option to reverse them. After a couple hours of playing i had adapted to the controls with no issues but when i first started playing it seemed very counter-intuitive and would be likely to turn me off playing the game if it were a demo and i was trying the game out. Yeah this should be optional. I found it natural the way it is, but lots of people seem to like it the other way around. <div

Reply to High Res Ship Models, where? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Would it be problematic to have an option for this in the video settings? You could even have a big scary dialogue pop up when we select 4096 textures or something I'm looking forward to the higher res textures (will probably be uber cool on my 23" 1920x1200 screen) <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Congrats.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle

Reply to Supported screen resolutions? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Are people having resolution problems? I am running at 1920x1200 and there are absolutely no problems with that. And the developers are trying to support all resolutions above 1024x768, so if you were to have a problem then it should get fixed pretty fast.

Well the 9.0 grade is certainly deserved (and it should be even higher!). The Norwegian site gamer.no also liked the game and gave it a 8/10 (which is really good. A 9/10 is extremely rare). Go Stardock

Reply to too much to ask? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

If you want an effective invasion and war fleet you should have fast ships, and for transports you really should research advanced troop modules. You can then have really fast (10+ pcs/turn) troop transports and warships, and each troop transport can hold several thousand legions, so you only need a couple of them to take a planet. That's how I play at least. If you only focus on weapons, and no engines, then of course it is going to be a very slow pro

There is no such thing. Espionage will only give you access to their planet details and starbase details screens. It also allows you to steal techs from them that you dont have researched.....

Are you just looking for a place to upload the file so that others can download it? If that's the case there are lots of sites that offer this. One such site is www.rapidshare.de (no costs, no registration). Is this what you are looking for?

Reply to How do you know what weapons your opponent is specialising in? in Game Talk Stardock Forums

I believe you can recieve intelligence reports if you are spying on him when he designs a new ship. Maybe there is a screen somewhere that gives some insight into his weapons and defense techs if you have a high enough espionage level?

Reply to Does Idle production eat credits? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thank you for that explanation Now I at least know how this is handled. This system just seems strange to me (so I needed to have it explained)... I just don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to "produce" 30 research points, while at the same time using my 36 manufacturing points. Factories and research centers are independent structures, so I don't see why they should limit each other. Edit: Veinless and I are in agreement it

Reply to Does Idle production eat credits? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It is the case. You must choose how you are spending you BC But I am not sure to undersatnd your problem. To illustrate with an example: I have a total of 20 military manufacturing points, 20 social manufacturing points and 10 research points. The way I think would be logical is to then be able to set the spending slider up to a max of 50b

Reply to Does Idle production eat credits? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Frogboy said: Right now, social production is still "wasted" but military spending simply isn't deducted from your treasury. So if you're not building a ship, you're not wasting the credits. So wasted social production is intentional? To me it feels like an unnatural way to handle production. I would

Reply to I want to buy this game but... in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

It is stated explicitly in the FAQ (sticky in the galciv II forum) that there will be classic downloadable patches as well as updates through Stardock Central. The classic updates are just like all other games (a new version released once in a while, though most games don't get the king of support stardock gives). If you use stardock central you get the updates much faster, and much more often.

Reply to Does Idle production eat credits? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I have been wondering this myself. The manual left me a little unsure. Is it then true that it is impossible to waste credits? No matter how I set the sliders, every credit that is not put into my treasury is actually used to manufacture 1 point, or to research 1 point?
