Amen Fuel Chief... Amen. If you think Chavez is a good leader, feel free to fly down and become part of Venezuela. If you don't like America or the leader the American people voted in - why don't you be part of the next wave of immigration, and strap some stryo-foam to your front door - throw the kids and wife on it, and head to cuba. I'm sure ol'Castro will welcome you with open arms. Yep- Face it if you want a better life, your not going to get that in America anymore. We are w

Well- Skyjack without getting to political, American history shows, that any time you cut taxes you stimulate the economy. Any time you let people keep there money they are going to spend it. This is one of the only areas a President can really affect the job market. When ol'G2 came to office and cut taxes, the company I worked for at the time(Guy owned about 50 hotels) recieved 1 heck of a tax cut. What did he do? He finished closing down all his hotels in California- Started to buy

Going to start a new game- work up a handful of high level ships, (my goal is to get a group of the same ships from the same planet between levels 20+ and 5+, and do this again...) This time thou I'm doing small map (cut down my load time), abundant, normal- Just in case the level has anything to do with ship rolls.

Ya- I've done that Raider thing to- I still like them for picking of Transports - found that the cargo raider well still kill the 1 hitpoint armed transports- it fires first, destroyes the target- and since the rules say 1 ship must survive, the other ship doesn't do any damage... (That realy should be changed to a random flip to which ship survives when both ships destroy each other - or let them both die) To answer your question: I play all metaverse games - where this happens most freque

Okay I'm lost... Tom Chick recieved a 1 time amount to write the manual for Galciv2. He has refrained from writing any reviews on GalCiv2 and trys to do so on Stardock products. (For some reason, that seems to reek of Ethics, good lord! This is the 21st century tell him to get Ethics out of the picture!) Now he reviewed a game- And he didn't like it. Big whoop. Thats his right not to like the game. Well I not buy the game now? Well- I might have bought the game, but since your going t

I agree with Byram too- I can make alot of hay with the survey ship, or even the Cargo Hull Sensor ships I build. In one game, I ran into a thick of those anomoly, before I knew it, I had a cargo hull with 17 hitpoints. Let me tell you- When I upgraded that thing to be a armed cargo hull- (55 units of space for guns/armor/engines) with 17 hitpoints- I thought I'd died and went to heaven... Not to mention it was nice when I upgraded it to a Large hull ship-

If you have 10 ships 5 of which are level 1 and 5 of which are level 10 the computer will always target the lower level ships because they have fewer hitpoints and are therefore more likely to be destroyed. That's why your high level ships avoid damage and you end up constantly replacing your low level ships. That isn't whats been said OR a

Oh and more effective with weapons and defence doesn't necessarily mean having higher numbers- if your ship is more efficient with its weapons- a ship thats rated to do 6 points damage- from my understanding does 1-6 base points damage depending on the roll- Total damage inflicted of course depends on the defense roll the other ship throws if it has armor... Now it would be huge if the same ship was a high level and instead of the 1-6 roll, got a 3-6 roll. The ships attack value would be the s

I have many fleets of the same ship. Some fleets are very experienced (level 20 and above) while other fleets are fresh off the assembly line. I have not recorded any explicit statistics, but it's my subjective opinion that ships with greater experience seem to take damage less frequently than ships with no experience when fighting ships of equal attack value. </t

Well, anything that allows you to see how far your ship can go quickly would be more then welcome on my computer. I hate having to count out my squares. As far as if your going to draw the range square around the ship, just have them draw it a different color- Perhaps red or if your color is red, then green.

Trying to find that post- It was here that I read it. Where a guy was getting his ships smoked- and one of the guys answering suggested that he needed to build up the levels of his ships, since they are alot more deadly. I read that and went, "huh?" All I thought you got where more hitpoints. More hitpoints is not something that makes me fear a ship. The poster seemed to imply the ships became mo

Whats the skinny on ship levels? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Okay, I've been nosing around google and the search function here, trying to clear up a question I had after reading a post that stated that ships with higher levels do better then rookie ships in combat. Now, I am well familer with ships getting more and more hit points as they go up levels, but now I find myself wondering if they get any other bonuses. The post I read, led me to belive that the more experienced ship's weapons and defences become more effective. As of patch 1.31- is
