What an awesome creation. I would love to follow this thread, but the watch feature never works on this forum As I have a high end (ish) PC I would love to see ships that have a greater than average poly count. How many poly's before a big slow down would occur I am not sure but no doubt you will test that <img src="http://images.stardock
Hello Sadly I had to remove the 1.1 beta patch as it would CTD every few turns, although I did like the differences that the patch brought to my game. Whilst I appreciate having the opportunity to test out this beta all it has done, apart from providing Stardock quality feedback from users that they will work with, for me is whet my appetite leaving me wanting the final patch even more. I have, hopefully, been keeping up with the

Well if you try the 1.1 beta patch you will notice that at normal level you are no longer given that safety net of 2000 being your maximum debt, I gave in to temptation, and being desperate as well. I did a mass upgrade to my fleet to find myself in some considerable debt for ages afterwards Then again maybe the cost of the upgrade wasn't as high as it was previou
Hello I would REALLY appreciate it if you could fix the 'watch post' function of the forum as I have have found that it will never work and thus making it very difficult to keep track of the threads that you have contributed to. At least with the ones that you start you can use the 'My posts' feature to track them. I would like a few other option for the forums but that one would be at the top of my list <img src="smiles/Smile.g
If you spend long enough reading the forums you will notice that there are many people that have a similar problem as yourself, in regards to creating a fleet. Whilst the type and number of ships might be different to a transport the issue remains the same, providing that you are doing it correctly of course - which you do seem to be. Then again ther might be an issue with no more than one troop ship at any one time invading a planet, as you mentioned.
Another one (CTD), I will now uninstall the game and then install it again without he beta patch - good luck with its development, most appreciated Debug Message: Random Event: Begin Debug Message: Random Event: Checking for Rebels Debug Message: Random Event: End Debug Message: Destroying ship Defender M4-2 2779.

At least the problem does seem to be reported, in enough detail, for it to be resolved. Lets hope for a fix soon, I must remember to save often
Hello CTD whist playing a newly created game with the 1.1 beta patch..... I simply pressed the end turn button when it happened.

I have never been able to 'watch' a post as it always times out, and so I can't ever find a thread that I have responded in. Although I can use the 'my posts' feature to find threads that I have started. The edit function doesn't seem to work and the general layout and the ability to customise its appearance is a little lacking, I find the white texy a little difficult on my eyes. Good job the game is superb <img src="http://images.stardoc
I have posted this before in the bug forum but I will add it here, I didn't get a response there. Others have noted this problem as well. At random there seems to be a problem with the fleet creation system. With a logistics value of 16 I sould be able to combine my 3 own built large hull ships with no problem. The vast majority of times that does happen. However every now and again a ship is produced that will not be able to join
I am new to the game and my first impressions were similar to the OP, why were there so many techs that were quite similar to each other. But then I got more and more involved in the finer points of playing it and realised that, in context of the military aspect of the game, whilst weapon X is good Weapon X+1 might only add a little bit more fire power BUT it weighs a little less and so now and can carry that extra piece o farmour or fir tha
You need to ensure that the resolution is set to be below that of your desktop. For me, if I wish it to run in a window, I will set the game to 1024x768 whilst my desktop resolution is at 1280x1024. Otherwise I experience the same problem as yourself. HTH

I suppose, rightly enough, the jury is out on whether this is a feature that should be used by the seasoned veteran playing the game or the newbie who presses the upgrade button for their entire fleet without realising the consequences of their actions, although they wouldn't do it twice...!!! As it has already been mentioned that newbie mistake could simply be avoided by making it impossible to go too much in debt, the amount of debt could be ba
Hello I suppose the title says it all really. The maximum deficit that you can go into is -2000 and so if you upgrade your entire fleet of ships in one go it would plunge you into debt no more than that after one turn. I have read a post that suggests that this was a design feature and not an exploit bug which will be fixed. Up to now I have avoided using that, even though I'm really struggling, as I have been met by fleet after fleet of ene
Glad that you are now sorted - I too went through more trauma in trying to register the game than I have in learning the fundamentals of playing
When I bought my copy from amazon.co.uk I had to go to here..... https://www.galciv2.com/paradox/index.aspx?c=1 ...to get a valid serial number that would allow me to register the game. HTH
I had already posted about this in the bug forum, where at times it becomes impossible to create a fleet even though they are within my logisitics ability.
I tend to think that some of the descriptions are incomplete and it is not just the matter of scrolling down.
Hello With a logistics skill of 16 I have found that I can group three of my own made fighters together to form a fleet, as they in total have a logistics requirement of 15. All has been well with my fleets except every now and again when two ships have been in a fleet together for a while I find that it can be impossible to add a particular third ship once it is built and ready. I even try and disband the fleet, which I can do, a
I really do hope that this can be resolved as I have found that evenwhen you are at war the enemy continues to send thier transport troops out unguarded, then again I am only playing at the lower levels, maybe it changes at the later ones...?
Many thanks for your answer
