Whats This? The bash CG3 Thread? I've played GC1+2 for years and will probably be still playing it (GC2 ToA) when most people are playing GC3 (need new comp) and from watching the dev stream and lets play vids on Youtube GC3 in Beta is a better game than GC2! I'm not gonna list the improvements GC3 has over GC2 But take it from someone whose played GC2 for over 6 years and will probably be playing it long after GC3 has been released and gone on budget sale that Th

When I shoot them out of my torpedo tubes into the cold,dark,vacuum of space.....(sorry did I say that out loud?) [e digicons]:P[/e]

[quote who="erischild" reply="2" id="3483463"] Any update on this? I might actually be able to attend today. [/quote] On the 1 day they dont actually do a dev stream? lol just joking but seriously someone needs to give Paul a nudge! ;)

Because they got wiped out in DA but I know what you mean. Perhaps some kind soul with GC2 UE will post the race attributes so you lot can create them as a custom race? [e digicons]>_>[/e] :whisle:

Nothing! - August Fool! [e digicons]XD[/e]

Sweet Ships and pics Stefan [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Can we have some more?

Holy Crap! Batman! These latest designs blow my GC2 ones out of the water! especially that Galor Class Cardassian Cruiser! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Keep up the good work! [e digicons]:drool:[/e]

[quote who="wolfleader01" reply="137" id="3477316"]Here is a better image of the nyx Reduced 33% Original 1680 x 1050 [/quote] I actually built quite a few Eve online ships on GC2 including a nyx but I await someone to do it here with GC3 with great anticipation! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Best Space Battles...hmmm Battle of endor - SW ROTJ Battle of Hoth (space) - SW ESB Opening and ending battles - SW ANH Battle beyond the stars BSG old and new versions Babylon 5 - severed dreams is my fav but I like all of them. All the star trek movies except final frontier which was crap. All the star trek series. On a added note I saw the star swarm demo of the mantle engine stardocks developing and wish it was a prop

Its the same in twilight

IF you only played Dread Lords your missing out on alot! read Tom Francis "Plan B" it'll tell you whats in Twilight of the Arnor - Bigger maps,more buildings,more ship parts and hulls etc

[quote who="Tertullian" reply="8" id="3430588"]One thing I'd like to see done on the research side is to make it less deterministic and more random. In most games, including GC-2, you know the entire tech tree from the start and have exact knowledge of how long it will take to acquire a particular capability. Real life doesn't work that way! Sometimes there are research breakthroughs that weren't expected, other times the researchers go down a dry well and end up with nothing.<br

Much like others that have posted here I agree with some of their suggestions: More cockpit/bridge components. Weapons that can have a recoil action as well as a rotating one,even if its a tick box in the shipyard template page. As for the world laser,we have Terror stars -why blow up a planet when you can blow up a entire solar system!

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="16" id="3409531"]There's going to be a lot more events in GalCiv III than GalCiv II. However, i suspect there will be more player control (at the beginning of the game) in terms of their frequency and power. I don't know if you guys knew this but in GalCiv II I hard-coded the events in C++. Or in other words, I'm an idiot. It meant that each event was very labor intensive and there was no real granularity in them. You

been asked for already and shot down.

[quote who="Tyrantissar" reply="17" id="3411022"]You know what, screw GCII star base construction system, why not make them customizable by designing them beforehand, like a blueprint and the constructor will spend weeks on end trying to get a portion of it done. Once the portion is done then you keep adding constructors till it is fully complete. This way you don't have to send a million and one constructors for 7 star bases. The limits would be the same as any other ship, you

this is exactly the same as Alliance except the time limit but alliances shift and change so thats covered as well.

I havent stopped playing GC2:ToA and been playing SOTS 1 Ultimate Collection.

[quote who="chuck1es" reply="27" id="3408991"] Quoting Gank, reply 26 I am very excited about Galciv 3! I was very pleased to hear the game will be 64-bit and using DX10. I think the hardest part will be waiting for the game to come out since it is probably 1 - 2 years away still. Recently I read an article about project managers protecting their programmers from the user community by isolating them. I wish I could find it again t

You want to increase the AI on a game that has a difficulty level named "suicidual" [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

I suggest you lot go on the GC 2 forum and look up the list of Events-normal/mega and actually read them! on ToA if you dont tick the box at the setup screen you wont get mega events,yes there is a rebellion event called the I league and yes your all repeating yourselves...

If you wanna keep a design for re-use save it as a template with or without components and if you dont want to replace everything there a box to untick in the options menu that keeps components on the designs when you go to upgrade them. I suggest those that are returning to GC2 actually play it before they repost here as their asking for features that GC2 already has.

Hardly anyone was posting in 2012/13 and it was using a lot of my data limit up to upload them so I gave up I hope this changes with GC3

GC2 has a NPC Pirates 2 events actually.There is a pirate logo in the setup screens but I wouldnt mind playing as a pirate civ.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="13" id="3408973"]Most infamous example was Xeno Farming and the "Old McDonald had a farm.." thing. [/quote] That still makes me laugh after 5 years of playing GC2.I like the allusions to star trek on the tech descriptions. "If you cant laugh at yourself being a galactic ruler,who can you laugh at?"
