Stalker0 - I'll give you that your suggestion would mimic what sophisticated computerized fire-control utilized by a very good tactics officer would accomplish. However, you'd still have to have an overcompensation x-factor since we all know nothing in war goes as planned [e digicons]}:)[/e]

I'm not sure the "Trample" concept translates very well to space battles. Once a ship has launched an energy beams or kinetic slugs attack it can't make them retarget. However, I think missiles being told to retarget would be believable. Might make missile ships OP though.

Once you collect the parts, the Retribution template will show up in all your shipyards. You can only build 1 unique copy. If it gets destroyed you will not be able to build another.

A couple of others are - 4. Discover Universal Translater tech 5. Colonize a planet and have one of the event choices give you a point Don't be afraid to hold Culture points in reserve until you unlock an ideology you really can really get a benefit out of, because as TheNightman36 said, they're pretty rare. I'm on turn 351 and have gotten 11. The actual Ideology traits that you need to unlock to use your Culture points are obtained in basical

I'm pretty sure the Devs are working on a fix for this. The only way to use a blocked shipyard right now is to either wait for it to go idle or search for it -

Not sure, remember the Devs talking about adding this feature at some point. Try asking on Discord. The hardcore players tend to flock to there & love to answer questions like this.

I asked the question on the Q&A & the Devs did promise to add the ability to assign factions to Custom Civs. They did not say how they are currently assigned. Someone told me on an earlier post they thought they were linked to the base civ you copy, but that was not true for my custom civ., so I still have no idea how the factions are currently assigned.

If by "stack" you mean - can you surround a core world with Economic starbases and receive the benefits from all of them - the answer is yes - <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/18/60/1860429/9f686

[quote who="DerekPaxton" reply="6" id="3850084"] This is great feedback. I wonder if it's worth making all citizens of a specific race have the same stats? Derek - Please do not do this!! If I have a planet that is pumping out Research I want to be able to find a couple of geniuses to really enhance it. Soldiers need high resolve to make planet invasion faster. Food planets need farmers with high diligence. If players

Welcome to the "I didn't know random numbers could be so evil" club [e digicons]}:)[/e] Just for kicks I loaded the game, colonized the planet, and assigned a Governor. It had "zero" tiles with food bonus. It couldn't feed even a starving Mimot!

Freighter ships are used to establish trade routes with other Civs (as Basilisk83 said - as long as you're not at war with them). Establishing trade with other Civs helps with their positive view of your Civ. You can only send them to Core worlds. I usually target capital worlds (esp. Minor Civ capital if close). I've always assumed the higher the output values of the world I pick will yield a better result, not really sure if that's true [e digicons]}:)[/e] &nbs

[quote who="cayenne_spicy240" reply="5" id="3849584"] This was an issue reported during the beta after custom civs were added. In some cases custom civs lacked "template" ships of certain types, and so the default ships which spawn when researching certain techs (such as asteroid mining), "mission" ships, and/or prototype ships were not appearing correctly for the custom civ. It seems to have not been resolved. [/quote] It was resolved for my custom civ [e digicons]}:)[

Not sure how familiar you are with the GalCiv games, but if you're new, you can easily verify if the game is actually sending out the tiny mission ships. Click on the red ship icon in the upper right hand corner. Scroll down the list. If you see a Scavenger mission ship then it worked. If not then there's an issue.
