Reply to Why NOT an expansion pack with user created ships???? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]but what about just the graphics for the ship design? that is what se3 did once, you sent in your image files, and when they had enough submissions, they sent out an expansion pack with tons of new ship graphics to choose from.[/quote] They still do. You don't even have to submit them to Malfador. There are shipsets all over the web for Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, and some just made up altogether. You can even make your own race pictures and shipsets for the races in SE4

Hey, Spellforce, Mister Prime Minister Sir! Shouldn't the motto on your web page be "Come in peace. Or rest in peace instead of piece? It should be either peace or pieces for the phrase to work right. Just a suggestion, made most diplomatically (notice all that humble reverence type stuff when I addressed you ;))

[quote]se3 had a very neat game editor[/quote] [quote]Another interesting idea[/quote] Remember though, that most of SE3 and SE4 data for the game was stored in text files, which made them very easy to edit. You could even add facilities, components, races, abilities, and change graphics easily. I think the original poster's idea was to be able to design your own battleship for example, much as you do in the Space Empire games (and others like MOO, Stars!, etc) and th

[quote]I hope it's nothing too serious[/quote] Not serious as in life threatening in any way. It is diagnostic stuff for my wife. We don't have a health insurance system like yours so we have copays, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs. Some companies have better, some worse, and some have little if any. Big issue here... [quote]dentist, I'm still paying for the later, 8 months after he finished the work... --ie turturing me on his chair[/quote] I have alway

[quote]You haven't gotten any snow yet Terl? I would've thought upstate NY would have been hit pretty hard by now. Or are you talking about more snow?[/quote] We have some on the ground of course. I am talking about the latest storm coming today through tomorrow. I think the city will get hit worse than us in the upstate areas (I am about 3 hrs drive north of NYC).

From KitWarrior: To combat frigid temperatures and declining morale, emergency shipments of booze have been requested. Please take a brief moment from your busy schedule to assemble all of your spare booze. Illegal alien pornography and delicacies would also be greatly appreciated. Message ends.... OK, we will send copies of Torian Tushy and Drengin Derrieres along with some watered down Bacardi and a couple barrels of Torian Tornadoes. Heck, we'll even toss

[quote]Oh and congrats, I didn't know the US won the 2 world war alone, I always thought, Australia, New-Zealand, Brits, Canadians and French in Exile helped. But then Allied meant as much then as coalition now I suppose... [/quote] No one said otherwise in any of the posts above. The poster qualified the statement made with the word: unassisted. And I doubt very much if any disrespect were meant in any way. I think everyone is aware of the sacrifices made by many, many count

[quote]I've also never played loose clusters [/quote] I find it easy, but then again that is all I've played. If you start out in a nice cluster with a few planets it is not bad at all. If you start out in a corner with the next good planets out of initial range it is a pain. I try to "play what I am dealt" and have actually one with one planet and one sector. It was on normal ai. I did everything I could to stay under everyone's radar, waited until all that was left was "close" wi

[quote]Any win is a good win! There are no paltry submissions.[/quote] You are right about more people submitting. I have noticed quite a few of our members don't post at all. My scores, numerically speaking are low compared to 60k, but, I don't like gigantic right now and true to the word, maso hurts. I tried one on normal and just thought it was too big. I would rather finish multiple smaller games that are roughly equal to time and scores of one larger one. What type of
