Going where no bugger's been before? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I cant believe that after all this time there's still no space game to beat Birth of the Federation. In comparison with GalCiz:- - BOTF has better battle options - allowing 4 different real-time battle strategies in a kind of scissor/rock/paper style. - has better race interactions - including insults you can GIVE, not just take. - hs better ship tracking - you can see where all your ships are all the time, and the enemy's too, of they're in range of a sensor. ok - GalCiv ha

ORB - tried the demo, but not sure this is a strategy game Homeworld2 - hated this - way way too scripted I've heard talk of a game called MO2 (or MOO2?). What is this? Is it good?

view-jumping in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've noticed that if I have a ship just sitting around, cos i have no current plans for it, when I move other ships the view always snaps back to my idle ship. I;ve tried the SKIP AUTOPILOT MOVES option, but this isn't it. Does anybody have a way around this? Cheers

MOD Request in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hi Guys Is there a mod in existance to remove ships in a fleet from the 'VIEW SHIPS' list? (and maybe add a FLEET item in the list instead). If not, is there an easy way to manage a lot of ships and fleets that i'm not aware of? Cheers

Very basic rule-of-thumb strategy guide in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Apologies if these are already posted. I dont think they are though cos i spent a long time trying to find just this on these forums, and my rules are distilled from what i've read between the lines.
