Reply to help!! Pirates are too hard in Game Talk Stardock Forums

Out of the limited number of games I've played, my biggest fear was a pirate fleet of 11 ships. The combined mass driver attack was 125 and their shield rating was about 50. I had been focusing on beam attack so I was quite shocked when I found them. I quickly teched up to nano rippers and upgraded my heavy cruisers with about 3 or 4 each. It cost me about 7-8 turns with expensive upgrading and researching. Fortunately the pirate fleet didn't move

SDC in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'm unsure if this is the correct topic heading, but I figure more people will see this here. When loading Stardock Central, I'm presented with the "Welcome to Stardock Central!" frame where I enter my email, password and all that fun stuff. I already have a .net account as I had to login to download the .exe to begin with. Upon entering the information and clicking 'Next', nothing happens. The mouse pointer gets a little hourglass next t

Reply to A few questions... in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

1) Seeing as hyperdrive is the first space-folding engine available, I can see your idea. On sensors and life support, I don't think any pilot would want to hold his breath very long and only be able to use iron sights. 2) Max pop is limited to how much food (in mt) you can produce. At least it is in 1.0x. 3) Moons don't really give bonuses, but Economic starbases too. Have your first constructor build an Econ base and make sur

Reply to Need tips on keeping approval up on specific planets. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

What's the population of said planet? From what I understand, the various happy buildings modify the remaining morale - so an insane pop count would benefit very little from a score of happy buildings. There should be a tooltip explaining the various numbers if you hold your cursor over the 'Approval' percentage. In theory, at least. I'd check, but any 3D app overheats my proc (fan dying) and the mobo safety feature kicks in.</f

Reply to Immortality Event? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I've had this happen to the Drengin when I was playing. As I had advanced espionage, I kept very close tabs on them. Every 3 or 4 turns it seemed 6 or 7 random attributes were bumped by +1. It could very well be every attribute was bumped by +1% and my espionage is just a rough approximation. If it happened to a human player, it's kind of like an automatic win event.

Reply to SDC & Betas in Game Talk Stardock Forums

Thanks for all the fast replies! I'm not sure what my browser would have to do with the problem, but I included it anyway. I haven't even bothered with the metaverse. I've tried the verification process more times than I can count. As I type this, it is still trying to verify. I click on the next button and the only thing that changes is an hourglass icon appears next to the cursor when I'm in the frame. As for duplicate accou

SDC & Betas in Game Talk Stardock Forums

I've been wanting to download the beta for a while - when it comes to ethics just call me Switzerland and I'm looking foward to the NLC. As such, I've downloaded SDC. It installs fine, and upon loadup I'm presented with the "enter your name, email and password." No problem, I've already got all that jazz. Enter the data and I click next. And I wait. And wait. And wait. And wait some more. Nothing happens. My gues
