Reply to GalCiv 1.11 Stuff in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Personally, I rather get a kick out of taking an influence resource, maxing out the starbase on it culturally, turning it into a terror star, and then sending the terror star rolling across sectors in cultural conquest. Actually using a terror star to take out planets should have serious consequences. Just making a starbase mobile should not---terror stars already cost enough that taking a couple culture assault starbases and having them hop over a sector division is pretty expensive.<

I do use control+n, but will have ships stay invisible or go invisible again even after a save/quit/restart cycle. I've had a couple games where I've had to do the cycle every couple of game years, in which situation I usually end up reading a book instead. Annoyance, though I guess my luck has been both better or worse than average.

There's no picture of the ship if you select it for a planet to build, and nothing shows up in galaxy views either, rendering them invisible on full size view and the tactical diagram. This makes one's own units diffi
