Yes, but with less than 2Gbs of RAM, and a 1Ghz processor, Steam eats my system alive.

Steam is not as bad as you all think. as it is, I bypass it everytime I play it.

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="8" id="3397843"] I'm really not wild about Steam but so long as it is around to stay, you may as well bombard Balbe with suggestions to improve the sucker. Like a Library-only mode, so it's not hogging memory when all you want to do is play a game.[/quote] YES and "Balbe" cannot tell if typo....or if the joke flew past me at hyperwarp III.

1. I'm no help here, wait for a SD official. 2. Domestic and Foreign Policy? I've never seen those. 3. you should have at least one circular, orange hammer icon at the top center-ish area, if not nothing will ever build. 4. None so far.

And if you had any brains: never get the toolbar in the first place. And use FF or PM. Honestly, after I started with FF in...gah...when was it...v0.13-ish, all my toolbar and spam issues went away.

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="5" id="3391578"] I think that you need to remember that because a supernova is a normal-space phenomenon, it wouldn't take very long for the planets in the same system to feel the effects, but it would take years for planets in other sectors to be affected.[/quote] Good point there. but what I was thinking recently is that stars above a set size always produce black-holes and a gama-ray burst that moves 1 sector every 2 turns for a smal

[quote who="Aerion Istari" reply="701" id="3391018"] I started out being impressed with this mob until I noticed the lack of farms. I played a couple hundred turns figuring I just needed to research the right tech. When I finally realized no farms were forthcoming, I quit the game and headed here to verify my suspicions. Nice mod but the lack of farms is a show stopper for me. I want more control over the population of a planet than the one-size-fits-all solution

Alright. some things I noticed: 1. some look lego-ish 2. some look well for the GC:II art style 3. most were...weird at best. 4. a few designs looked like they were either: A: Cannibalized from http://www.i-mod-productions.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=127 OR B: they stole those from you(or that was you.) 5. the recolors were not needed, and can be easily done.</p

From what I understand the library is broken and no longer being added to, as I've seen no new stuff...ever, only things from back ~5+ years ago... A better idea would be to upload it to Mediafire and give it out here.

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="1" id="3388292"] Probably because Gamestop applies a force similar to a black hole.

Don't worry about their "DRM", it is barely noticeable and still allows offline play without launching steam.

Reply to How can I tell how fast my internet connection really is? in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

Low ping numbers are better, higher numbers show that it takes longer in miliseconds to reach the server in question. There are a few ways to deal with slow connection due to being cheated by a company. 1. Call an complain and threaten to switch companies 2. sue them (won't be likely to win) 3. Call and have your connection evaluated, it might be that it is broken or damaged. 4. Call and ask what your MBs cap is, and if you have excee
