<t> Galciv 2 was a great game but its main problem was its broken econ system where you were balancing taxes, research, and building maintenance all with a slider system that left you smacking your head trying to figure out what was going on. All galciv2 needed was a straight forward civ type ...

<t> I would say one of the biggest differences you'll notice in this game compared to other 4x's is the extremly bare tech tree. All the tech is basically for building ships, there's no tech to improve economy, dipolamcy, espionage, or other things. Probably the single biggest weakness of the game ...

<t> Well one of the reasons I shelved it as well as it just being too easy was that there are no graphs or anything at the end so you can't even do the "play yourself" thing and try and max your stats. The victory screen is easily the most hollow part of the game. <br/>

The game would easily ...

<t> There is diminishing returns with adding engines for sure. But there are some messed up calculations going on as well. I posted about not being able to create an exact copy of the default constructor using "add new" and the main numbers messed up are speed, can't get the thing over like 1 2 1 in ...

<t> Tried it about 6 times now, creating a construction ship from scratch, using add new ("copy as new" from the default works ok), will give you a ship that moves at like 1 2 1 best speed once you have 3 industrial plants on it. If you recreate the default at game start constructor ship it will be ...

Fighters, even soon on Earth, are going the way of automated/non piloted.

No, but remote piloted with alot more computer automation of systems yes. This is actually one of those questions I kinda fight about ...

I think a planet should just have an inherent defense force = to say 3 or so troops. They should be free and troops you buy should need upkeep, you should also need 3 to 1 to win on the offensive.

Latest 1.0.4 I was redesigning all my ships after installing at the start of a game when I noticed this.

Pretty sure this is a bug, when I hit "copy as new" the maintenance fee on the new ship is actually increased over the old design and stays that way once saved. As best as I could check the ...

Oh and not just star wars.

Battlestar Galactica
Space: Above and Beyond
Babylon 5
Stargate
Wing Commander (well there was a movie)

and a few more im probably missing

<t> I couldn't disagree with him more myself Xorn, with pretty much everything he has said. Missle systems have their own place as well as there own unique problems. He kind of sound like the guys who thought there would be no need for cannons on fighter jets in the vietnam era cause missles would ...

Pretty sure this is a bug, when I hit "copy as new" the maintenance fee on the new ship is actually increased over the old design and stays that way once saved. As best as I could check the component list has stayed exactly the same.

I would like to see some gas giants near the sun in a few systems, we have pretty good proof this happens, actually kind of shocked astronomers a few years ago when they figured this out.

<t> The more mass something has the more energy it takes to move it. Thats the main reason for fighters in space. And I think the other standard "technical" reason would be that fighter craft would be too small too contain a hyperdrive system and it if not a drone an organism cant live in a confined ...

<t> The way building maintenance, empire sliders, and the general economy worked in Galciv was one of the most convoluted messes in any turn based empire game I think I have ever seen. The fact they didnt fix it from 1 to 2 says alot about the game in general. Mastering the economy destroyed the ...

Galciv had a broken economic model which after about 20 games you either learned to tolerate or u just shelved it, i shelved it.

Still pushing for a 0 tech level / 0 ships & bases start so you can have a saved design of ships that you can import that you don't have to redesign every new game due to the varying tech levels but thats minor ...

Guys they can't implement all the changes you want within one update, have some patience. If you're not aware off what it takes to release major updates such as this look into software development life cycles, and the reality of releasing major ...

I do understand its just really frustrating, wanted to play so badly but cant bring myself to it knowing how much time is going to be wasted because of the problem. I guess I just like designing my ships too much.
