[quote who="Tohron" reply="18" id="3433935"]The problem with trade in GalCiv2 is that it only provides a static bonus - once you have the maximum amount of trade routes, there's nothing you can do to further boost your trade income - so it eventually is dwarfed by your planetary tax income. As a result, it can be useful in the early-mid game, but then fades into irrelevance.[/quote] Is this with or without building economy starbases along the trade route and putting economy module
[quote who="Gaslov" reply="1" id="3433845"] I want a mechanical mouth that swallows enemy ships.[/quote] Yes, it might be very comical to see your ship literally chewing up an enemy ship, with pieces crumbling to the side and then getting grabbed by the mouth and swallowed, complete with swallowing motions. Yeah, maybe for the first five or ten times. Still, a rather whimsical idea.

[quote who="Rudy_102" reply="52" id="3432417"] I think those "capitals" should be "tranferable", and designation should be automatic - planet that surpasses other planets' capacity in certain area should hold title of "capital" automatically. Certain tuning should be implemented, of course - if you build manufacturing improvements on several planets, title could (but shouldn't) jump from one to another as buildinds are constructed. This would reduce micro, and make nation less s

[quote who="Tharios" reply="37" id="3431774"]You all seem to think that the natural laws of the universe are somehow different, not clear on the other side of the universe where there's at least an incalculably small chance it could be true, but right here in our own galaxy, where the idea is so absurd that it would inherently end the concept of an internally coherent galaxy such as we live in.[/quote] No. Let me be perfectly clear on this, we don't know all there is to know a

Since these references, especially Brad's statement, are talking about the Campaign, not the sandbox, and since Brad specifically said he was not certain, and since he was talking about the START of the campaign, we shouldn't be saying that terror stars are gone in GC3.

The original post for this thread seems to be more about how competitive the two manufacturers are going to be, now that I think about it. And it expresses a dilemma all of us users face. The only answer I can think of giving is that if one is better than the other now, the next version of the weaker manufacturer is going to be aimed at reversing which is better. Especially if they wish to remain competitive. So, in the future, expect a continuing reversal of which is better until one o
