Good observations! Do you randomly pick a weapon and focus there or try to move all three up evenly?

Yea, I did Occasional on all options. It worked out pretty good. Uncommon would be just that..not enough. I would like a tool tip when I hover over a resource that says, 'build starbase near, X Tech needed". Also do we have 'asteroid mining' yet?

Great, I must have missed that. ..DOH>

Gaunathor, this is great but what would help is if I hover over Orbital Manufacturing in the tool tip it would say "Unlocks Constructors".

I would also like something but i realize this will be a big part of Beta and I am content to have it as is. Bring us diplomacy!

The missing ship on the map bug is also something I encounter as well. It comes up more often when I form fleets also.

My computer build in case its needed. No issues other than the artifacts and horizontal lines. I do get some hesitation when scrolling. The lines ONLY occur midrange on viewing map, not zoomed in, nor all zoomed out.

Greetings, First off great job! The game and its features are progressing very well in my opinion. This build feels like a game. Below are some things both positive and somewhat less so. My game is on occasional Stars, Planets and Habitable Planets with lots of asteroids. I felt this was a GREAT setting. I had about 6 planets I was able to colonize yet I would definately need life support to reach other areas of the map, which ment that the AI als

Well that seemed to work. Clicky on the photo and you can see.

Sorry i am trying to drag n drop a photo. I do not know how to upload via a link as I do not have a cloud based photo dump.

Well that was supposed to be a photo. sorry.

I have heard no mention of the Gal Civ II style of mining stations at all. I believe that entire method of gathering resources is now superseded by the new way of planting a star base near some resources and it will now 'harvest' said resources ...all of them. I have not seen anything for asteroids. I would think that a star base will eventually harvest those somehow. I am patiently waiting to get off work so I can down load th

Yea I am at work and really looking forward to waiting,...and waiting...and waiting..for download to complete! Great job Dev team!

OMG, see the change at the top..it says RELEASED!!! WOOT!!! Thanks Stardock Devs!

I agree, I would like a check box where all buildings would auto upgrade. Unchecked all buildings would be avail in cue area. Thus if I want to do marketplaces i can or if I want I can auto upgrade strait to Financial Centers and only have those buildings show in my cue. Also, I am not sure if i like the dual purpose of some buildings or how they function, such as 'Tourism' impartments/buildings/whatever. Also shouldnt Tourism buildings/impartments gain an

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this game.

There will also be a drop down (I think) which will let you select either 'even clusters', or 'Varied Clusters' these would be galaxies with no form but a random distribution of stars. The Even Clusters will give you a smooth, 'uniform' distribution of stars, while varied clusters will give you 'clumps of stars separated by large gaps of nothing, making your empire either link up or not.

Frogboy, I play the following when I want to do 4x or strategy games: Gal Civ III (Alpha) Coming along very nicely. Gal Civ II Ultimate pack. (Classic space 4x, never loses its luster.)

I love the game, and purchased several DLC's for it.) Civ V (all expansions, gr

The last dev stream mentioned that the frequency slider is in the 030 alpha. They also mentioned that putting your stars and/or habitable planets to 'uncommon' and suddenly you cannot reach ANY stars at first, you would need to rush life support techs to get your colonies rolling. Personally I am really looking forward to this as it, (to me) is what exploration really should feel like.

Didn't the opening episode on the New Battlestar Galatica show some scenes where the Galatica took TWO broadsides of hits by nuclear anti ship missiles and 'shrugged' them off? That kind of durability means fighters would do very marginal damage to a capital ship. The hit points analogy is good in this example.

Not the lame kind in Galactic Civilizations 2, but the full, balls-to-the-wall "let's turn this place into a glass parking lot" kind. -80% to planet quality not good enough to satisfy your malevolent urges? <

Awesome! Ill watch after I get home from work!
