Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire Nears Release in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I downloaded some gameplay videos posted by one of the regular Sins forum members and have them on my PC somewhere. The files are rather large (200MB a pop) but here is a link to the thread if you're interested. They may be a little dated though.

I have noticed it and was sorta hoping it would be like this. For me, at least, there is a point where I have too many planets in the bigger galaxies. It's nice to have lots of planets along with some breathing room. I think it makes the galaxy more expansive this way.

Reply to Where is my laser? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I usually do the same. In this game though, no more planets were available. I had 2 and the most anyone else had was I think 5. I was trying to take the Jessuins hone planet with the meager military I thought I had.

Yes, it was a UP event that gave my transport some oomph. I thought it was funny that a ship with no weapons (my transport) has attack value while a ship with weapons (my spirit) has no attack value.

Reply to Where is my laser? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You guys are probably right. There seems to be a general lack of rounding in favor of truncation in GalCiv. Like taking a 10% planet quality bonus and having PQ9 planets remain PQ9 planets. So I've got my ship with a laser that has no attack value. She's a cute little ship though which I may be able to distract the enemy with. And then there's my transport that has no weapons but an attack value in each category. Cool! <a href="http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gc2d

Where is my laser? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

First off, I'm having loads of fun experimenting with the beta. Keep up the good work. In my current game playing as the Altarians, I designed my first military vessel on a tiny hull with just a lone laser I. Here are her details. <br

Reply to Planet rings and research bonus in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

In my game, with no other unique research bonuses that I could determine, a single lab built on a planet with a ring gave me ~10% more research points than a single lab built on a planet without a ring. IIRC, this was not the case before the 1.8 beta for DA.

Reply to Tactics of tourism (too much of the good stuff) in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm playing a gigantic Arcean game with the beta and have never had so much difficulty building my economy. While I've only gathered 100BC from anomolies in the 1st two game years, I've succesfully dealt with this before in DA. For the 1st time since I've been playing GalCiv, I've had to completely halt military and social production (except for market places) for an extended period while I complete some economy enhancing techs and get some market places up on some adequately populated

Reply to The amazingly strong "don't rush" sentiments re TA in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

1. I'm a life long member of group number two. 2. The beta's waiting for me when I'm ready. 3. I'm having fun with DA. 4. I'm enjoying reading the feedback and subsequent improvements. 5. I'm a very patient individual. 6. Stardock has made a great game and deserve the time to treat it with care.

Reply to Unusual Event in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The pirates are beatable, it just takes some serious planning and patience. I was about to give up on my game when they appeared. They were everywhere and they were way more powerful then anyone else. I decided though to save the galaxy by designing fast, well defended ships, using their speed to fleet them together, and making the pirates pay for their mistake of messing with my galaxy. After I took care of the pirates, I proceeded to convince the rest of the galaxy that the Altaria

Reply to Over-looked bug? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

This used to be an issue for me as well until I came up with the brilliant idea of disabling the GNN. Beginning of the turn activities have been greatly improved since then. Using the icons running down the right side of the screen also helps me strategically since left clicking centers the planet in your game window allowing you to see in what area it exists.
