Reply to Tips for overall play, Singeplayer and Multiplayer? in Strategy Sins Forums

I usually use about 1:3 or 1:4 ratio for fighters:bombers. I would suggest not building hangers on every planet because of the resource cost. Try to pick some planets that are on the front line or that are choke points and put them there. Good luck. :)

Lemme know if they want more information. I just played a game and saved at the exact point when it was happening. Hope it gets fixed in the next patch. :)

Yep, mine has a line going to the adjacent gravity well too.

Screenshot of Fleet Bug in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Here's a picture I took that showcases a bug I've viewed for all the races. If I create a fleet, sometimes one ship doesn't want to join the rest of the fleet. I moved the units inside the gravity well but the one outlier there doesn't want to move. It's happened to me quite a bit so I imagine it's easy to replicate. HTH.

Reply to Phase Jumping...Timers? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

How about being able to coordinate 2 or more jumps from different systems into the same system? For example you have two fleets that are at different systems but you want them to arrive there at exactly the same time in order to coordinate the attack?

Reply to REQUEST: Battle Locator in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I tried that too and it didn't work. I agree that it would be a really nice feature.

Reply to A question, bug, and suggestion in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Ahh ok, yep, that's what I was wondering. I'll give that a shot here in my next game. It would be nice to see the queued order arrow (patch maybe?). Has anyone else seen that bug? It happens to me quite a bit.

A question, bug, and suggestion in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Question: What are some good strategies for fleet combat? Are there differences in weapon damage based on the ship or if their shields are down or not? For example, are laser weapons really good against shields but poor against damaging the hull? I don't remember hearing anything about that in the tutorials. Bug: When I play as the TEC (don't know if it does this for other races or not) and create a fleet with light frigates and other units and jump them into another system, they usu

Dual/Quad Core CPU Support? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Not that this is a deal breaker or anything but I was just curious if the game supports optimizations for dual core or quad core CPUs.

Will there be an opportunity to use Paypal to preorder before the game ships?

Copy Protection? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I love the fact that with GalCiv2, it doesn't require the CD to play. Too many games have tons of copy protection and weird software that gets installed which prevents normal users from even playing the game. Ubisoft ditched StarForce (thankfully) recently. I just wanted to check and make sure Dark Avatar doesn't have weird copy protection software on it. The ability to use the serial number and download the game if my CD gets scratched is awesome! Thanks for being a cool indie developer!

Grab Ideas From This Game... in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Has anyone here played Star Wars: Rebellion? It's an older strategy game similar to GalCiv I guess. You have characters that can perform missions, construction yards to build refineries, etc. It's a lot of fun even though it's quite old. I just thought maybe the Stardock team might play it a little to get ideas.

Research Strategy Question in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

In terms of a research strategy, I usually just sort everything by the time it will take and research the fastest item. There are only a few specific circumstances when I need a specific technology when I will deviate from this. Do people think this is an OK strategy?

Stardock Should Show ETA for Download in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I was just thinking it would be nice if the Stardock software (which is excellent) could show the estimated time to completion for the downloads. I'm patching GalCiv2 right now and I have no idea how long it will take... Anyway, just a suggestion.

GalCiv2 Used in Political Science or Economics Classes? in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Hi. I was just wondering if GalCiv2 has been used in Political Science or Economics classes. The in-depth strategies and simulations of entire nations is extremely detailed.

Precursor Tech Ships in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

So in the game I'm currently playing, the Yor received a Ranger. I've tried destroying it and I've created a ship using the most cutting edge technology I have to try to counter it. However, I cannot destroy it and it keeps getting experience. I even have the other groups at war with the Yor just to see if that would help. How can I beat them? Should I try sneaking ships and transports in to take their planets? I have basically no money because t

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I think it's fantastic that you support SP completely and put all your time and effort into it. However, I think either a small patch to provide hotseat or simple LAN MP would be excellent. Or, an expansion would be fine too. By adding MP and SP aspects and content to an expansion you appeal to both groups. Whatever you decide... Gal Civ II is a great game! <

Reply to Star Wars: Warlords in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Wow looks fantastic. I've played Warlords for HW2 and it's sweet. Nice job. Would it be possible to mod the ground units and structures and so on too? Even research? If so, you could go all out with this thing and make the whole Star Wars universe. Good luck.

Ship Design Interface Question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hello. In the ship design view, when you add a component there is the remove button. To the left of the remove button there is a slider. I've moved it around but it doesn't seem to do anything. What is it? Thanks.

Reply to Alt-Tab freezes game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ok thanks. I will try the window mode and see if that makes a difference. It seems odd that because of memory management it would take a long time though. Other programs are very easy to switch between. I suppose there is a lot of information to save in RAM especially on the larger maps. Would there be a way to increase the amount of RAM available to the program if that was what was slowing it down? Thanks. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc

Alt-Tab freezes game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hello. I was playing Gal Civ 2 and I got an IM message in Windows. Gal Civ 2 automatically got minimized and I went back to windows to see the message. When I clicked back on the application to bring it back up it goes to a black screen with the cursor. I can Alt-Tab between programs running and so on. The only way to get out is force quit Gal Civ 2 and start it up again. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks. <img src="smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 A
