Reply to Starbase Maint Idea Thread in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

From a real perspective, I would think starbases in a setting based on the tech in GalCiv would be mostly self-supporting and would be generators of income, especially as tech increased. If they need to be limited for game balance purposes then some sort of simplistic command-point related system as above would be ideal. We do need the ability to mothball ships and bases rather than destroy them to reduce maintenance.

"IMO dialup isnt cheaper becuase you need to have a phone line. Sure it may be that you get both total under $50 but think about what else comes with having a phone line? Endless telemarketing calls :/ Im a lot happier with a cellphone and I can call all I want on weekends to anywhere in the country and unlimited mobile to mobile minutes are sweet. I can talk forever!" Obviously you are not Married with Children :) We have to have a phone line. It often doubles for the internet. M

I am always online when I try to upload scores. Broadband is not available where I live. It is not available in a lot of places. Those of you in college or living in large cities take this for granted. Moving from a large city to a small town can be a shock in more than one way. I cannot even get broadband via satellite right now. Also, $50/month is not "cheap" for a lot of people. Dial-up over my phone is a lot cheaper - $17/month. A survey last year indicated that broadband was losing

I did e-mail directly. No joy, though I did get a message back that my mail had been forwarded to someone. that was 10 days or two weeks ago. I bought the game on CD at EB the day it was available and I update on a daily basis. I really like the game, but I am getting chapped at the inability to continue growing my Metaverse score. Actually the lack of support is more upsetting than the problem itself. I finished my re-install and will try playing without ANY add-ons to muddy t

Reply to Metaverse Problem! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Not true. The first two games I submitted successfully had the mod about the Hostile Alien sea critters (By Nephrinn) that was available for download when the game was released, along with 3 by Frogboy. However, the thrid game I played will not submit. If something has been changed and games cannot be submitted for ANY reason then Stardock should blasted well put a sticky up about it. An increasing number of players are complaining about this and there has been NO official response for two weeks

Minor Civs as your Buddies in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Recently I got myself out of a jam by using one of the minors. Having allowed the Arcaens to get too powerfu AND allied with the other major races (except the extinct Drengins) I was in a jam, specially as I was heavily dependent on trade with the other majors. Soooo, I noticed one of the minors was at war with the Torians And the Arcaens. I began moving my ships into Arcaen space and then transferring them to the minor, who would then proceed to wreak havoc on traders, transports, space station
