Reply to Trade Route screen confusion in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"Not sure on the N/A usually means the trade route is no longer available." It's odd because the trade route shows in the mini-map and it's definitely listed but when I click the listing all the fields are empty. Bug? "If you see 3 trade routes on the mini map and two routes at the top. Another civ sent a feighter to one of your worlds i.e. They established the trade route not you." Gotcha. Thanks!

Trade Route screen confusion in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm a bit confused with the Trade screen. First, there's a mini-map showing the actual routes but the lines seem to change color. Why? WHat do the colors represent? Second, the list of trade routes at the top doesn't always give any data when clicked. FOr instance, I'll sometimes get "N/A" or blank fields in the route details area. Third, some routes don't show in the list at all. For example, I have 3 routes in my current game but only two of them are listed. <br

Sector Sweep bug. Ship doesn't go around system. I had a ship set to Sector Sweep but when a system was in its path it stopped and sat there forever, rather than attempting to go around it to resume the sweep.

Reply to Can't join Empire in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"Have you registred a metaverse player? (link on top of the metaverse-page)" OMG, I'm an idiot. I assumed by registering with Stardock.com/Galciv.com I was all set... Looks like that's what I need to do. Just have to wait to get home from work to dig up my serial #. :notsure: Thanks!

Thanks Frog but I have one question RE: Metaverse. I've joined an empire today but my name isn't listed on the Empire's page. I've logged off, quit the empire, relogged back in, and joined and still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Traded for some freighters in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I got some freighters from a trade and I'm wondering what happens if I send them off to create trade route with a friendly civ, what exactly will be the "Source" system? When the freighter is handed over to me does its "home" system change to one of mine? Or do I have to run it back to one of my systems and *then* send it off to its "target" system? TIA

Reply to Suggestions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

My suggestion is a "De-Orbit" button/option on the GNN notification window which would then de-orbit the newly built craft. This might be more efficient than, say, a global, automatic "de-orbit" option since there will be times you'll want a specific ship to stay in orbit for defense purposes. --------------- Also, a forum suggestion: How about an icon flag that indicates a thread has some "official" Stardock reply within, like from Brad or whomever.

Suggestion: De-orbit button on the GNN window in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

There's some discussion about automatically de-orbiting newly built ships in comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic newsgroup. My suggestion is a "De-Orbit" button/option on the GNN notification window when the ship is built that you could click. This might be more efficient than, say, a global, automatic "de-orbit" option since there will be times you'll want a specific ship to stay in orbit for defense purposes.

Forum Suggestion - Flag threads with "official" replies in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

First off, what happened to the "Sticky" flag icon? I don't see them anymore? Secondly, how about an icon flag that indicates a thread has some "official" Stardock reply within, like from Brad or whomever. If you've ever been to Bioware's NWN forums you'll know how handy that can be when searching for official info without having to wade through hundreds of useless crud. :notsure:

Reply to Turn off autopilot? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Aye, Autopilot confused me for a while since I could still click a ship and move it manually even while it was flagged as "Autopilot" but the Find (ie next unit) button does not go to ships on autopilot. Threw me off for a couple hours until i realized the autopilot ships don't move along their routes until you end your turn. :notsure:

Reply to About GalCiv, I have purchased games with rave reviews ... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"From what I have read so far it sounds like people are saying, 'it is basically ok, no glaring errors, nothing really special, if you want to play some kind of space game I guess you'll like it.'" Keep reading. You'll find much more positive reviews than that. I have, at least. Even so, if you're that concerned then you might want to wait for the demo.

Making peace with the enemy of your alliance without backlash (game #5) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Brad, in your gameplay example #5 you make peace with the Altarians while your ally (Drengin) is still at war with them. You wrote: "Okay, I admit, I'm a little bit lame. The Altarians are down for the count but I really can't deal with them right now. The Drengin won't care about this as long as they don't need my help." So there's no political backlash in making peace with a mutual enemy as long as your ally seems to have the war reasonably well in hand? Does it matter who in
