Re: Start Page opens advance uninstaller


Go to the Start menu, open it, and open the Campaign Series folder. Click on the Campaign Series (Game Manual). Instead of opening the manual, it opens the Advance Uninstalled program but not the manual. The same thing happens with the Campaign Series (Quick Start).

When I follow these steps ...

Bootcamp 5 recon problems

Are there any known issues with Bootcamp 5: Reconnaisance?

I'll give it another shot once the update hits, but I'm unable to follow along as described in the manual.

My Ferrets just refuse to spot anything with Recon Reveal from the village hex--even after taking fire for several rounds. I do ...

Under Game Concepts > Fuel, it says that energy collectors only operate while stationary.

Re: Noob Struggling...

I’m a strategy noob more or less, especially at this level of complexity. I won my first game a few nights ago after several attempts, and I’m still pretty fuzzy on some aspects.

While incredibly intricate, the nice thing about this game is you don’t have to learn it all in one go. I did a little ...

Re: Noob Struggling...


3) I really don't like how the tech tree is presented...each research option has a ton of detail, but NOTHING about what the resulting tech DOES.
If you check the Components in the Galactopedia ("?" icon) I think it has more of the detail you're looking for ("Hyperdrives enable hyperspace travel ...

Re: Noob Struggling...


Yes, I've got the colony ship, it is shown in my colony screen. But when I click on the colony and give the command to "Send Colony Ship X to colonize" (or whatever), nothing happens.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm mistaken... but in my experience if you click colonize from the colony ...

Re: Noob Struggling...


Gents: How do you know the range of a ship and how that translates on the map?

Check out the Fuel entry under Game Concepts in the Galactopedia. In part:

"The current movement range of the selected ship is shown by a dashed yellow range circle that can be seen when zoomed out to the galaxy ...

Re: Noob Struggling...

If you’ve already queued up colonization for an independent you can just ignore a pop-up request from them that happens after the fact, but agree that the stop/decline choice is confusing in that context.

As to why it’s not happening, do you have the proper tech and enough money to build a colony ...

Re: 1.0.8.8 Public Beta Update Available

I mentioned on the Steam forums but Ackdarian prewarp start is broken in 1.0.8.8. It's impossible to build any ships -- no pending ship builds as you would expect, and no option to build anything under planetary build menu. Under research, if I hover over Basic Civilian Ships, Basic Space Stations ...
