Hyperion techs are available to races with the Starfaring ability. I think the Arceans have it, or you could use it with a custom race. Starports are not available to synthetic races, or those with the Zealots ability. What race are you playing as? And yes, you can add a commander to any fleet. It add a "command ship" to the fleet, and you get greatly increased moves and some extra logistics for that fleet. Definitely worthwhile.

The improvements in ImprovementDefs.xml that are marked with Global and therefore should be civ wide are: Singularity Power Plant Omega Research Center HyperSpace Project Hyperion Shrinker Assimilation Foundation Cultural Beacon Galactic Stock Exchange Galactic Bazaar Virtual World Entertainment Capital Restaurant of Eternity Shrine of Tandis Krynniac Sanctuary Hyperion Matrix Dream Concla

I typically find it by looking in my colonies list and finding a planet with population 5 (when the cap should be 3), and then checking to see whether auto-upgrade is turned on for the planet, since turning that off is always the first thing I do after colonizing or invading a planet. Of course it's been a while (before 3.00) since I built it.

It doesn't always show up in the home system, I've had to look around for it.

I have never seen the black hole problem, but in my latest 3.03 game I do see a noticeable slowdown during AI turns. For me it's not a problem, but it is noticeably slower than previous versions.

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="70" id="3716463"] Quoting lyssailcor, reply 55 Playing the 3.03 opt-in as the Terran Resistance I can build the Import Export Center twice. With other civs that happens with other player unique buildings also. I'm unable to reproduce this, is anyone else seeing this?

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="64" id="3716291"] Treaties are one way. There is no modifier for Giver defined for any of them (they have Reciever only), "TwoWay" to my knowledge, does nothing, never has since I started playing this game 2 years or more ago. (Or is does something other than makes treaties "Two Way") [/quote] True. I found the a copy of the old Two Way Treaties mod and it added a section to those treaty types.

What @lyssailcor said is correct. Your changes need to go into the mods folder, and you need to start a new game to see them. When a game is started all the XML is saved in the saved games, so changes aren't seen until you start a new game.

[quote who="lyssailcor" reply="60" id="3716216"] Are treaties like Research Treaty still one-way? Exploration treaty is not, but as I recall it also wasn't before Intrigue. [/quote] TreatyDefs.xml for those types (but not exploration) has a line: [code="html"] true [/code] As to whether it does anything or not, I don't know. I'd try it out, but in my current game I have horrible relations with all the AIs and I can't offer a t

In the planet window, the tooltip for Corrosive World says "Temperatures are too low for standard colonization ." That was probably copied from Frozen world and not properly updated.

In 3.03 Intrigue the AI still does not know how to use the special government ships like the Prefect. Instead of putting it in orbit to get the +5 to all construction, the Altarians are flying it around the galaxy as a scout.

[quote who="kmedler" reply="4" id="3716132"] I got an e-mail saying as a founder my steam account has the new game already to beta but it isn't. how do I merge my account here into steam? [/quote] You're checking the betas for the Star Control: Origins game and not the Star Control: Origins Fleet Battle Beta, right?

Last year there were a flurry of reports that MalwareBytes was reporting false positives, and the local (Utah and Nevada) company that made my laptop recommended that it be replaced by Super Anti-Spyware. I had been using MalwareBytes up to that point and have been using Super Anti-Spyware since and have had no problems with either. My point is simply that there is an alternative to look into. I have no connection with either company.

Wow, a C+ grade from our local Las Vegas film critic. Headlined (in the print edition) "Overplaying their Han", he writes: The 8-year-old me would take his inflatable lightsaber and throttle the current me for even suggesting this, but maybe — just maybe — there’s such a thing as too much “Star Wars.” I found it a very interesting and well written review, with only light spoilers. If you're interested, <a

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="9" id="3715167"] Well i would have to ask how did lucas ruin the movies [/quote] Three words: Jar Jar Binks. But I'm joking, I mostly agree with what you said.

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="5" id="3715132"] A friend of mine pointed out the other day that Disney is ruining Star Wars [/quote] Even more than Lucas did himself? [e digicons];P[/e]

I will certainly see it at some point, but I very rarely go see movies on their opening weekend, I got that out of my system 40 years ago.

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="8" id="3715020"] No, I haven't released an optin yet. I just put the post up so you guys can see what's coming. [/quote] Thanks, I appreciate it. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Wow, thanks for the quick changes! Here's another one that might need to be fixed. The Colonial Hospital has a flat +0.2 to growth. Its upgrade, the Xeno Medical Center, has a flat +0.1 and a multiplier of .25. For most planets, the change from a flat +0.2 to +0.1 is a downgrade, even with the additional 25% multiplier. For my own games I have "fixed" this by changing the Colonial Hospital to have a +0.1 flat growth, the same as the Xeno Medical Center,

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="3" id="3714993"] But please let me know if there are other issues I should be checking out. [/quote] There was a discussion on the forums not too long ago about the starting positions of the races in the galaxy when playing with fewer than the recommended number. For example, in a huge galaxy with tight clusters and 6 AI opponents, I was pretty consistently seeing 2 to 4 AI opponent's home worlds in the same cluster where I started, wit

Should Steam be showing me a 3.03 opt-in beta release?

To me that looks more like abundant/abundant should be. I might have to turn down my settings a bit though. [e digicons]:D[/e]

I've been using Fences and Start8 and now Start10 for quite a while now, they are a great help to me. If I hadn't retired last year I think I'd be trying Groupy as well, but with what I'm doing now it looks less useful than it would have been while I was still working.

That does explain it, thanks. I do have the overlay enabled, so when I clicked on the "Steam Workshop" button it brought up the Steam overlay, not a web browser.

I hate those "works for me" posts, but here's another one. Last night I subscribed to two races from the workshop (from inside GC3) and they downloaded and are available in the game.
