[quote who="Darkrenown2" reply="8" id="3660608"] Oh good, that solves the need for h ypotheticals, Brad states in that thread that he agreed to the lowered price. Screw keeping to you word, screw giving refunds to unhappy customers, but send out emails claiming to condemn poor business practices when you are one of the worst examples.

Returning Player in Galactic Civilizations Series GalCiv3 Forums

Hi everyone. I was very active in the alpha and beta stages of this game, but stopped playing soon after the mercs expansion release. There are just too many games out there. Anyway, I want to dig back in and see where the game has gone. Are there any features/big changes I should be sure to explore as I dive into the game again? Thanks!

Reply to Get ready for a lot of bitching in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Hey Frogboy, glad to see the old gang is getting back together and glad to see that this game is going to remain a priority. I invested in being a founder because I trusted you guys mainly because of my experience with Elemental. I saw that when you guys see that a game is not up to snuff, you put it right. I liked GCIII at release, but it never grabbed me the way GCII did. I think it is very positive that you look at this game and say, "good, but not good enough," and am very excited about t

Which beta? in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

Hey sorry if this has been covered, but i couldn't find it. I've been playing other games lately and thought I'd check back in on GCIII, especially because I know the starbase update is coming soon. When I went to check for betas I had 2: Preview 1.7 and vip_build. What is the vip_build and which one of these should I be playing?

[quote who="peregrine23" reply="71" id="3618412"] We're pretty close. As much as we love early access, we don't actually rely on it for our QA needs. At this stage, it'll be more about balance and seeing if anything went through. I am expecting a VIP code to send to founders immently. It'll be in the founders forums.

[quote who="stevezar" reply="13" id="3617901"] I know this isnt the right forum, but I just dont get Xcom. I see it tagged on steam as turn-based strategy, but the videos look like 3rd person shooter to me. Anyway, at least I have one advantage over you founder guys....I KNOW when the release date for me is....

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III: Mercenaries adds New Factions, New Ships, Mercenary Bazaar and more! in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Surge72" reply="63" id="3616877"] I expect that Thrusters and Tactical Speed are also still a complete mystery in terms of mechanics. [/quote] What is your confusion about tactical speed? It is the ship's speed while in battle. It dictates how fast a ship will reach its target, and so is useful on shorter range ships, while you want to keep longer range ships as slow as possible, as ships do not fly away from each other

Reply to 1.4 Planetary governance in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

There are a couple of different discussions in this thread, but what I'm getting out of it is that there should be a notification on the start screen when there is a major patch with a link to the patch notes. Weather or not you like the change, it would be good for SD to do a little better job of communicating with those players to do not frequent the forums or streams.

Reply to Are people who demand the wheel back selfish? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

OP is epic troll. He complains that people talk about economy too much and starts a thread not only discussion economy, but discussion the discussion of economy! Also, OP assumes that discussion is a 0 sum game where for every post about economy there is less room for posts about other stuff. That is silly. People who talk about economy are not any more selfish than those who talk about any other topic, and in no way to the many economic threads, or the length of those

Reply to GalCiv III: Economics, Command Economies and Citizens in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

I don't buy Frogboy's ideological justification for this latest tweak to the economy of GCIII, but I think it sounds very exciting from a game-play perspective. One minor tweak that I think might make it more interesting: Give different races different default resting points and/or have the default point be effected by tech i.e.: -Terrans default is 33/33/33, but the Drengin default is 40% man/35% research/25% econ and the Iridium default is 25% man/25% research/50% econ.

Reply to Reinventing the Wheel in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Hey Frogboy, and everyone else in this discussion. First of all, thanks for taking the time to have this conversation. There are not many devs, let alone heads of companies that would engage with the community like this. As you may remember, I was a very vocal opponent of removing the wheel once it was announced. The reasons for its removal were clarified and I resigned myself to the idea, knowing the game would still be fun, if not tailored quite as much to my particular tastes as pr

Reply to Tech Tree differences? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I won't list them all, and you really have to play each faction to understand them anyway. That said, Terran and basic are the same. The Drengin get the slave pens, their factories and labs are not as good but give military adjacency, and I'm pretty sure they have some differences in their weapons as well.

I don't know OP, I just can't agree with any of your points. It seems like you haven't actually played the game much, or if you have, your experience has been drastically different from my own.

Reply to Maps are too boring in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It is much harder to have an interesting map in space, because it is mostly empty. There are plenty of goodies to uncover, but the terrain is all pretty much the same. The main thing that I think might help with this would be to have a few really interesting/valuable spots on each map. Maybe a cluster of resource nodes, or a single one that gives much more than a normal one; maybe a giant nebula that has some kind of effect beyond the normal ones; maybe a solar system with multiple high-level
