Reply to Sensor range bug? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

For the game with (no mods) the 15 parsec range makes sense. Despite the "eyes of ..." wonder, come on - what ship, starbase or planet could see EVERYTHING ??? If you want to mod this feature, well then go for it ... but other wise it is a good game limit IMHO.

More OT: I love the BLack HOle Gun !!!! But those darn torpedos did help me win my first Tough level game ...

That would be "enemy resource bases".

Reply to Constructor ships in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

The reason is each ship has a different cost. I also include the #2 type in Battle fleet groups to grab enemy resourse bases.

Constructor ships in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

When I first started playing I used the default constructor, until I realized it was just too SLOW !!!!!! Now I build 3 types #1 - 1 engine, no range mod - used to build local econ starbases only. #2 - 2 engines, basic range mod - used to grab resource starbases. #3 - 2 engines, max range mod - used for range extend on gigantic maps. Are there any other type that other players use ????

Reply to what is it with the abilities? all the time with them in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks to Mumble for the Race bonus stats, I just "cut/paste" that into my strat guide. As for the Torians, Uck!!!! They are so ugly I don't think I could EVER play a game as them. They look like a green version of that weird, creepy "phone home" alien... And they are sooo much fun to destroy, I think that is the reason they are in the game !!!!!

How many Save game slots?? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

How many save game slots do players use for thier active games ???? At first I used 5 slots, and I kept a paper "starlog" to keep track of alignment events and anomoly bonus stuff, etc... Now I just use 2 slots and alternate them as I save my current game. What do other players do ?????

Reply to Strange Game Behavior and Possible Exploit in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I see your point Mumblefranz, I have always seen a pretty reasonable amount of "credit" in the ship build after conquest...so it seems that Mistralok may have experienced something unusual.
