That would have to be done in code, which is not moddable.

Comments?

I can tell you for GCII. In the tech definitions file (techtree.xml for the base, then one for each race that are mostly tweaks), for each tech there is an attribute with a nominal range of {0..100}. There is also a flag that I don't recall the proper name of. I rather suspect that GCIII is doing something quite similar. First figure out how to mod, and where to put the changed files. Then find the tech trees an

I wonder how many Trekkers were able to translate the Klingon in real time? They did speak slow. Sheldon, maybe?

[quote who="SchismNavigator" reply="16" id="3690822"] but steamrolling over the legacy of Star Trek by setting it near the same period and timeline as TOS. [/quote] Mmm??

[quote who="SchismNavigator" reply="62" id="3690821"] Apparently, the next episode is going to be directed by Jonathan Frakes! [/quote] Missed that. I was too busy ogling Charlize Theron. We know she gives good villain!

[quote who="tungchiawah" reply="2" id="3690802"] Actually, Factory has Maintenance 1, so it's questionable whether or not it even pays for itself over time. Assuming that it does though, it takes a very long time, making it a bad investment. [/quote] Hmmm. That would make it situational (adjacency). And possibly a placeholder for a more productive improvement. But it wouldn't be the first time an improvement just didn't make sense to build. Anyo

Interesting summary. Thanks.

I don't play with Music so can't say definitively that sound goes out, but there are periods when I notice that the game is suspiciously quiet. So this might not be unique to you. (I don't have Crusade.)

Define what you mean by "bad". They all increase production. Thus they eventually pay for themselves. Is your criteria that they take too long to pay for themselves? How long it long enough?

[quote who="trims2u" reply="34" id="3690765"] About the best "FPS"-style game I can do is the World Of Warships [/quote] WOWS, eh? What's your handle? Mine is iDuckman. Mired in Tier IV. Yes, boys and girls, you can play for free on a rig that will support GCIII. For a free ship upgrade, follow this link. https://playtogether.worldofwarships.com/invite/en

Ep. 4 Redux: For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky spoiler: [spoiler]Gratuitous Liam Neeson[/spoiler]

No suggestions, sorry. I guess you need to file a ticket with Support.

It might be related to the number (or %) of planets that you control. In my first big scenario I won a Diplo Vic and scored X (I forget). Then I continued to play to get some experience and every session I started I got a Victory! screen and the score was higher and higher. But of course everything was bigger, so no clue why.

So what goes into a game score? I score 17. What does that mean? Why didn't I score 21? Is there something I can do to make my score better?

What version of the game? What flavor (base or Crusade)? Admins are different between these.

Finally! I lost a 14 ship fleet denting the last stronghold planet, and that seems to have motivated the Thalan to clean out orbit so I could invade. Total time: 170 turns (3.5 years at wk/turn). Score: 18. Whoopee. Now I have to carve my way through the right arm of the Drengin Empire to get to Earth. I think I'll take a break.

Could you possibly give us any less information?

If it's you, then the real problem is your password, right? Did you try to reset it?

trims2u, I will defer to your more recent experience. If I didn't have to pay to do it, I would gladly participate.

That was fun. I gotta get me another 12GB RAM and a new MB to carry it and a new video card and a power supply and ... Crap.

[quote who="DMF" reply="12" id="3690609"] Quoting GrimmAG, reply 9 I do seem to remember a bug with counting the Admins. It might show -3, but you are not really negative. Still, you cannot build more starbases until you get more admins. You think the negative count isn't real? Hmm.&nbs

[quote who="Lucky_Jack" reply="14" id="3690613"] It takes an administrator to build a constructor, colony ship, or surveyor ship. Administrators are assigned when construction of a ship begins. [/quote] NO. Not in the 2.3.3 base game. Admins are used only on the construction of a SB, and are released when (voluntarily) decommissioned. Not sure

Backed up a half year to try the new strategy. Without me on the front line the Big Bug finally delivered and took out the main Drengin planet without AFAICT breaking a sweat. Of course, the Planetary Invasion tech I gave it helped... So victory is in the offing. Now as for bugs (the s/w kind) not only is the -3 Admins still there, but the game seems to forget tech. I had to negotiate Open Borders** and Research Treaty twice each. There's no Exploration T

Me too. The first one was good. This one is frustrating because you can't even see the strategic situation until you're nearly two years into it.

I offset the deficit (by destroying SBs) and am back to (displayed) zero. If you're right, I should still be able to build a starbase. I'll give it a try.&nb
