An update to star bases does sound good, but I would want it to retain its believability. Starbases that auto-update sounds too much like magic to me. Perhaps if there was a star system with resources of building materials that could be mined for the updates to a nearby starbase would be good, but please do not make it so unexplainable that it becomes unbelievable. Also, if you are going to make constructors re-usable, anything short of them going to a nearby planet or building materi

Frogboy, am I glad you are still in charge of all things GalCiv. I remember you from the GC1 for OS2 beta days. Can you refresh my memory of when that was? I know it was before I retired. I kept all of the GC for OS2 games I had gotten for a long time. It was fun then, through the betas for the Windoze versions, and I expect it to be fun with GalCiv III. I can tell everyone that I expect a lot of people will be disappointed with the level of the gaming in the Alpha test and through mu
