[quote who="Starbound_Dust" reply="40" id="3417408"]This one tickled me, a responsible parent would teach their child that just because something happens in a game or in a movie doesn't mean it can happen in real life. It is not the developers/directors of games and movies responsibility to teach these things[/quote] Wait as a parent I'm responsible for my kids and what they think or do, never, I will just search for a blame on everyone and everything but me. After all m

Even in Galactic Civilizations II, you can turn off the sounds (turn them down to 0) you can do this for Game Music, Special Event Music, and Sound Effects. So there it's already in the previous version of the game so I'm assuming it will be in the third installment as well. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

[quote who="Breadshaped" reply="13" id="3417350"]There should be a reward/risk component for class 0 planets I think if you are allowed to extract from them. Not every single one should be useful or profitable to mine. Maybe some could give large bonuses for a while but they might be extremely unprofitable financially.[/quote] I disagree, I think everyone should be profitable for some reason or another, or even multiple ways. For instance an snowy ice world could pos

[quote who="Stohrm" reply="54" id="3417338"]Check out any of the TOTAL WAR games: they are turn based with RTS combat (if you so choose) and that would be totally acceptable to me in Gal Civ III[/quote] Even though I like the Total War games, I didn't like the RTS combat options, typically you have a huge advantage taking the RTS route vs the automatic so if you wanted the best possible results you have to play out them which draws out the game grossly by playing out all battles.&

[quote who="michaelwhittaker" reply="1" id="3417143"]If u haven't played all the techs through in at least on tech tree then why do u want more techs. What's your average research rate in Bc's per week. Personally I think there is enough techs, so why r u posting this. I can at least see why u want a slower tech tree the slower the techs the more the Ai and u can enjoy them right.[/quote] Yes I have played all the techs through at least one tech tree, Personally I fi

I don't know about everyone but, when playing GalCiv2 I always played on extremely slow tech rate, on immense maps to try to keep the game going at a slow speed... I would like either one of the two things... Longer tech trees with more techs to research in each race, or even a slower tech research rate, or something that can be scaled compaired to the number of habital planets. Thoughts?

[quote who="michaelwhittaker" reply="1" id="3417133"] Interesting what r u talking about.[/quote] I think what he means first player to 1000 research points gets a random reward +1% deplomacy 10000 research points gets a random reward +1000 credits so on...

Is it me or do both ships look like faces? Look at the Yor and the Drengin they have white specs on the top equally spaced showing where eyes are and a middle hull that kinda looks like a nose w/ a small spit near the front appears like a mouth :D

I think there should be a quick link to this on the main page?? Or am I just blind and it is there and I completely missed it :(

I'm assuming this will be added to the founders repository, hopefully soon more audio tracks too :)

[quote who="The_Tsurani" reply="29" id="3416933"]That might be even worse than expanding galaxies. Bear in mind that the nearest galaxy to our own, Andromeda, is millions of light-years away. In order to traverse the immense void between them in such a fashion your starships would need to have FTL engines so fast that they could instantaneously travel from one end of the Milky Way to the other, going outside the galaxy even at these tremendous speeds is very dangerous - what if you happen acr

[quote who="joeball123" reply="54" id="3416456"]You'll notice that nowhere in that paragraph of mine which you quoted did I ever refer to how the borders should be generated. And for reference, I think that the GCII influence borders, which are the only auto-generated borders that I can think of in GCII, would be absolutely awful as territorial borders.[/quote] I realize you never mentioned borders, and I didn't say you mentioned it, I said I agreed with some of the things sai

I don't think we need this argument about reality in the game too.. After all the sun is approx 1.3 million times the size of the Earth, and about 150,000,000 km/ 91,000,000 miles away on average. So could you imagine trying to create a game based upon the science and the pure sizes of objects of everything with distance? Once again it's a game, it gives simple representations of objects not based on scientific fact, it's just based in space. W

[quote who="joeball123" reply="46" id="3416369"]Borders should only be inviolable in the sense that if you cross someone's borders without their permission, it hurts your diplomatic standing with them (and probably their allies), and gives you a bad reputation. If you ignore their demands for you to leave their space, it hurts your diplomatic standing even more; same goes for if you use your violation of their territory to move forces into position for surprise attacks. And if you accept

[quote who="Omsad" reply="14" id="3416297"]Is the aspiration to make galciv3 scale to the amount of memory the computer it's running on. For example if I have 16gbs I'll be able to run a game "x" large but if I have 64gbs I'll be able to run a game four times larger than "X"?[/quote] I hope that they don't go too big as the most I will have is 32gb's as I'm not spending more than 2k on my new system :S but I'm sure looking forward to this game either way. :

Dyson Sphere (Shell) - Could this be added to the game constructed to either harness the power of the star (Sun) or even like in Star Trek TNG give you a massive area of population? Space Dock - Could this be a new type of station to fix your ships faster or reload supplies to give more range? Brown Dwarf - Hazards that you wouldn't know exist until you fly to close enough to feel the gravitational effects which may or may not cause you to run into it.</p

Stop being so critical about what is "real" and what is not. It's a game, get over it. Whether it's green/purple stars or sound you could also argue light/warp speed. There are many things that are not possible as currently known, are any of these game breaking, no as if they were, I hope your not science fiction fans of Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, or most other sci-fy movies.

[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="9" id="3415736"]It was bad enough that I used to research "Xeno Ethics" early so I could avoid random events (thereby keeping a good conscious), so that I could be good without being crippled for doing so.[/quote] I usually hold off on researching or trading for Xeno Ethics so I can get the random events that potentially give me extra research bonus/influence/moral so on, then once I got it accidently I'd pay to be good :P
