What exactly are the different custom maps? I see the names, but I'd like descriptions of what they are, if possible

Just FYI, but I have gone through the manual, and can't seem to find what I"m looking for -- am I missing it, or something?

Selecting Ships in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm having problems selecting individual ships out of an entire stacks to access such features as "upgrade" "sentry" or "guard" -- and I can't find a hotkey shortcut for upgrade! -- and I'm wondering what the trick is. This would be especially usefull for ships that are "in orbit" around a planet that I want to upgrade "in place".

Another reason your ships might stink is because (with a few exceptions) they don't really come pre-designed -- its best (IMO) to upgrade them every couple of new technologies, whereas the pre-made ships will only pop up if you have THEIR list of tech requirements... which usually doesn't happen (for me) untill long after I've had the fun of designing a new vessel. And don't worry about the whole "how many factories? What do I research first?" thing -- I played GalCiv1 to death, and

Reply to I wish the game would not go to the next turn if all my ships have not moved. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Is there any way to take ships OFF the "don't turn green if this ship hasn't moved" list? I've tried a few things, but I still can't figure out how to "park" a defensive fleet on top of a threatened starbase when, say, the previous tenants just had an accident and I just HAPPENED to have a constructor -- and a battlefleet! -- ready to replace it...

He's asking for what they're an analog of... warm blooded? Cold blooded? (There are some other things in there that are involved in "yes its a mammal" but I dont' understand the biology of them, so oh well) and those aren't really "this is an ****"" question as "whats it like" question.

Reply to BUGS: Compiled hardpoint list in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Lol, beat me to it... I came over simply to whine about the one on the tiny human ship -- the one with a cockpit fore, large fin on top and small fin on bottom has a reversed hardpoint on its starborde side, front.

Reply to [bug] Ship upgrade and removing parts in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Very annoying bug -- I've had it too. In fact, I couldn't figure out how to upgrade for a good 2/3 hours because I had to just redesign ships from scratch!
