mindlessly ignoring warships in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I've been able to do the following trick and get similar results every time: 1. Send a scout into a system known to have hostiles 2. Have a task force ready to jump to that system 3. Have the scout "run around" the system - the hostiles will follow attempting to destroy the scout. 4. Send in the task force 5. HOSTILES WILL CONTINUE BRAINLESSLY FOLLOWING THE SCOUT WHILE THE TASK FORCE BEATS THE CRAP OUT OF THEM. HOSTILES will not FIRE ON TASK FORCE UNLESS SCOUT IS DESTROY

Spies in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Ranking Data on Diplomacy Screen in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I started playing the campaign. It was cozy - just the three of us: Terrans, Drengin, Altarian. I noticed that in the rankings list (e.g. Research, Military, etc) both the Drengins and the Altarians were ranked 3rd in military. Explanations? thank you

Colony Tax Rate in Colonies GalCiv2 Forums

I would like to have the ability to manually override taxation at the colony level. This would allow the development of economic powerhouses whose approval might not suffer as much from a higher taxation. Thank you, ejmh

Tech Values When Negotiating Trades in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I find myself wondering if I'm giving too much away when I trade techs. I often forget how much one tech is worth vis a vis another tech. I would like to be able to access the Tech Tree WHILE negotiating a trade. Thanks, EJMH

Objectdock 1.0 memory leak in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

As eye-candy, objectdock is second to none. However, after running for about five minutes, the application uses over 100MB (and it keeps climbing)of RAM, rendering it unusable.
