Just for the record. I'll be too lazy to mod anything towards removal or editing of starnames beyond changing the names of my planets. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

That is insane. I love it. Edit: Question: Are you going to limit the number of players allowed on a small map. Namely, 100 players shouldn't be in a small map, but 99 is perfectly fine ;) Have you thought about having upper end restrictions.

I really don't recommend you do this at this time. You may give some very bad bug reports to the devs. But if you a set on doing it, check out how to mod Fallen Enchantress as I believe it would operate similarly here.

[quote who="alphaprior" reply="81" id="3490510"] A sleeker UI I mean smooth curved lines instead of diagonal ones and black background, the game is dark.. making UI black.. it's too much. To give an idea of sleek design think of the bridge in the Enterprise in last Star Trek movies or Star Wars Attack of the clones the Kamino aliens and their ultra futuristic minimal designs. No they are not interface but it's the best of what I call sleek and cool design. F

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="24" id="3490500"] I never know if my question gets answered, I'll believe it did? Someone tell me please!?!?! [/quote] No. they didn't get to that general discussion question. The stream cut off auto-magically (about 40 minutes into the stream). They did grab quite a few questions from the forums and the chat, but there are always a lot of questions being shot around.

A sleeker UI. I'd like to see a design that you are expecting (or a reference to another game with which you have in mind for UI)? (I'm not defending the current UI, but I'm curious about the UI you'd expect to see.) Something similar to Beyond Earth? The flying zigzag can be distracting, but this problem arises from the hex based map. Making the ships fly in a smoother motion also would indicate that they are not entering each hex. So, how would one determine which he

[quote who="Seilore" reply="10" id="3490424"] 1. Will there eventually be an option to speed up or slow technology progression? Similar to Galciv II although I would like to be able to slow it down to almost a crawl on super large galaxies. [/quote] You and I have similar thoughts. I would also like it, if this slider was seperated from the production... i.e. I can slow production and research or just research and not production or just production and not research

Since Adam showed us one of his ship designs early on, are you going to show one of your ship designs Ray?

You can give the player the gildar / mana directly. But I don't think it is possible to give these resources directly to the city. When you make a special ability, you can have it cast a spell like effect and therefore you can allow TroopCount to work within a spell like ability. You can check out some of the summoning spells in the game.

That is a nice replica. But the colors ;) Good job on it.

Yup, must have been caching as I can't see anyones avatar anymore ;) Well, time to go visit the bar my avatar went to... [e digicons]:beer:[/e] cheers

I can see my own avatar again and yours peregrine23. They are slowly getting it fixed up. Is there a thread that indicates what happened to their servers on Monday or some announcement thread? I'm just curious.

I'm having the same problem, but I think the correct place for this problem is https://forums.stardock.com/forum/503 As all Stardock forums are connected to each other. I'm also having difficulties, keeps saying that my 100 x 88 ~5 KB avatar is too large. I'm sure that Stardock is working on it. They had a very rough Monday I think with that forum and site kaboom.

Same place my Avatar is... at a long distant bar someplace enjoying their break from the forums. By the way, I do see your avatar. As well as Ryats, but not Larsenex or Seilore. And I do believe they are still recovering from the Monday forum boom.

You really shouldn't feed the trolls :) I know its a good deal, you know its a good deal, at least, if you want to play the game within the next 10 years, this is a good price, but after the 10 years, I'm sure a good sale will occur where you can get something better (maybe earlier), but at that point I hope to be playing Gal Civ IV, or Gal Civ III expansion pack 27 will be coming out.

I always loved the interior of the Phoenix. I always imagined that as a place for meetings between corporate heads as they discuss plans for their empire. All the while it is escorted and fully manned complete with bar tender. When the friend code system is in place, I'll definitely send you it. So are these capital ships able to be destroyed? You know if they were able to be destroyed I wonder if any would be left by the games release ;)

Not sure if this will help you or not, but here is a forum where people are discussing your particular problem. http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/220532-sony-vaio-nvidia-geforce-gt-330m-win7-x64-drivers-needed.html

On the note of refunds. You should probably read the policy they have https://store.stardock.com/policy.aspx#Policy_ReturnPolicy They do not offer refunds on beta or pre-release products.

[quote who="Stant123" reply="345" id="3489374"] I'm holding off on the whole organization thing for now. As much as I'd like to be a part of one, I don't want to lock myself into a role only to find out I like something else better. When we get the economy module to play with, it'll be much easier to figure this out. [/quote] Exactly. I'm toying with joining an organization, but I really want to open a "bar" in space. Get some large ship and s

[quote who="quintinparry" reply="38" id="3489356"] (we are in a universe where the hyper-drive has been invented which violates some of the most fundamental rules of physic namely particles with mass cannot travel faster then the speed of light and massless particles travel at only the speed of light).

I do recall playing the old games. Never played wizardry, but I did play Wolfenstein 3D the original, and the 2d version as well back in the day. I've been playing games for a very long time... I miss the TI-99. I know it would add immersion, but there is difficulty when navigating buildings on a 3D map, epecially when building. It would be difficult to place buildings or finding that empty middle spot. Not sure if it would be great or something that I would say cool play with it.

Here is the best analogue for a hex grid on globe I've found. Most solutions I've seen that look good involve including a pentagon every so often. http://www.ucar.edu/communications/quarterly/spring09/latitude.jsp But the amount of hexagons on the earth really hides the distortion. I really do understand wanting to move things to a sphere, but in doing so the icon art would also ha

[quote who="moi-meme" reply="49" id="3489307"] I'm fairly aware of mathematics, thanks. Only five regular volumes can fit a sphere. Actually, there are only five regular volumes at all. Twenty faces, or isocahedron is the best (maximal number of faces) you can achieve ; it involves triangles and not pentagons. [/quote] I also didn't say you weren't aware of mathematics or geometry. I merely stated a mathematical fact, so I'm sorry if you took it that you didn

That is great. As much as I like to support the game by subscribing, my salary doesn't support my habit that much. Which ships do you have? My eye is on a freelancer. That cutlass is nice if it didn't have the pirate stigma attached to it ;) Do you know of a list of trade-able commodities?
