What am I doing wrong (ship designer) in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I was surprised when components started randomly appearing on my custom hall after dropping them into the Equipment Manifest. If I don't want my design covered in weirdly placed components I need to individually hunt then down an manually shrink and/or offset them. Some of them are quite hard to select. This is a nightmare to deal with. I must be doing something wrong. I also would like to know my attack and defense stats specific to their type (beams, kinetic, shields etc). A single Co

On a similar note, I have a hard time telling the difference between explored and unexplored space without a grid. Having more contrast between the two would be good for my eyes.

Not receiving survey outcomes in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Hello. Is anyone else having issues with not receiving the completed survey outcomes? If I have multiple surveys complete in one turn I will only receive the outcome for one or two. I can see in the events list the names of the outcomes but I do not receive the choice prompt nor any benefits for all bit one or two.

Bizarre the ship designer does not display specific weapon and defensive stats - exactly what you would want to see while loading up equipment. Combat rating is too general to be useful or interesting.

Being able to select number of sectors in addition to overall galaxy size would fix most of these issues.

Ship equipment slots cut off in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

When using the Ship Builder, I only have a single row of equipment slots visible at the bottom of the screen. When I add more equipment items (engines, weapons, defenses etc) than there are visible slots, these the additional items are not visible and can not be selected. Are others having the same issue?

I have never wanted to play campaign. For me, the point is the variable challenges and opportunities presented by random sandbox galaxy generation.

Reply to GalCiv IV: Supernova - The Combat System Discussion in GalCiv IV Dev Journals GalCiv4 Forums

I agree with the sentiment that PD should be restricted to missile defense. I wonder if having damage to shields and armor vary based on specific beam, missile, and kinetic weapon types would add interesting strategic decisions. It certainly would make a weapon tech discovery more exciting and loudout decisions more significant than simply opting for the latest in a linear series.

Or upgrade kits carried by constructor or a dedicated platform. One upgrade ship could carry multiple upgrade kits.

I am observing the same behavior - AI leaving their ships after battles. Some areas are littered with dozens of ships from multiple civilizations.

Need influence starbase AI response in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hi. AI does not prioritize precursor relics for mining. As a result I find myself easily grabbing the majority of them throughout the early game. I use influence starbases to mine them. This creates massive territory and tourist income that makes winning too easy. I would help if AI was far more aggressive competing to mine precursor relics.

Also you can simultaneously upgrade multiple ships to a design with a unique precursor component resulting in multiple copies of what is supposed to be a one-off.

Related to this, if trading organic only techs with machine and silicon species the techs remain available for trade after successfully making the trade such that you can resell the same tech over and over again.

Reply to The GalCiv III wishlist thread in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Thank you for the opportunity to weigh in. My requests are all management related. 1. Overhaul of zoomed out graphics. I find I really need to stare to sort out what I am looking at. Visually very difficult to find what I'm looking for as compared to Galciv II. My ship icons within other influence zones are almost invisible. Ship icons don't seem to match ship types - should have the icons scaled to hull size. Starbase types are also hard to rapidly differentiate. 2. O

Reply to Things that would be nice in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

+1 Research queue +1 Better and more sorting and filter options. +1 Planet centering from gov screen +1 Select constructor type and location for request tool. +1 Greater focus visibility. All those are great suggestions. I'm not sure how to quantify this, but it is difficult to visually scan a zoomed out map and find what you are looking for as compared to GalCiv2.

Ascension crystals and asteroids in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm not seeing any benefit from mining ascension crystals or asteroids. What do ascension crystals do if not playing with the ascension victory option? Also, are the asteroids supposed to boost production as in Galciv2?

Reply to A more realistic future in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

More abstracted development units would also get around the unrealism of vast numbers (billions) of population that get piled onto transports. If the number represents population and manufactured resources that would parallel the social and material strain an invasion represents.

Reply to Some quick first thought on Beta in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

5. Another management thought. Being able to custom flag objects by changing their color or setting color coded dots would help immensely for locating objects you wish to remember to return to for further action or quickly identify the strategic purpose of the object. A common need is to know which fleets are fully assembled versus those that you are still building, which star bases you still wish to upgrade, or to differentiate production, economic, and research planets.

Some quick first thought on Beta in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

1. Would like to pan all the way out to observe the entire galaxy. Overall shape and layout is vital for strategic planning of expansion and for targeting the enemy. I miss this mini map feature from Galiv 2. 2. Would like to be able to select sets of planets, stations, docks, or ships via click-drag and cntrl-click and then be able to cycle through the subset to help with spatially explicit management such as updating builds specific to the enemy in that region. 3.

TA Download stuck in a loop in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Anyone else have problems downloading the TA beta? The download just starts over again after it reaches 99%. I've left it running for 12 hours in which it repeated many times. I purchased the preorder and have restarted both Stardock and the computer and the problem persists. Any suggestions? Is it possible to download and install outside of the Stardock Central interface?
