Basj: No joy. It has the current, post-restart settings with no way to go back. AzDude: So what I'm hearing is that I have to completely reconfigure my dock to get it back where it was?
So I just had a power outage. After power returned and I booted back up, all my objectdock settings are fubar. It's at the bottom instead of the top and seems to just have random icons instead of the menus I'd set up. Help?
i would like to see a galciv style civic and military production queue where you can distribute the total production of the city between the two
[quote who="Rabenhoff" reply="1" id="2778571"]No. What you advocate is basically the outsourcing of QA to the customer base or to be more specific that part of the customer base that is willing to do anything to have the product/patch a little bit earlier than otherwise. And while this may be a win/win situation for this group (gets to play earlier) and the company (saving money) it will most likely be a big loss for the overall customer base ... and if other companies or even indu
I don't even use Teleport. For that matter, I barely use magic at all. I have yet to actually imbue a champion....actually, I haven't quite figured out how to use champions...I just stick them as city guards for new outposts... I guess what I'm saying is: I'm doing it wrong.
Obviously, I have absolutely no idea what kind of QA system you have in place, but perhaps, in addition to internal QA, you should release each patch as a pre-release version for a week or so before making it final. I'm sure there's enough folks that would play the pre-release patches to make it worth the effort. Yes, patches that fix important issues will take longer to come out causing the current breakages to remain longer, but you'd have a much higher chance of not accidentall
Last night I noticed that the AI doesn't appear to understand the concept of resource limitation. He was functioning on -1260 gildar and kept on expanding further and further. At least, according to the diplomacy screen he had -1260....whether that affects other resources or whatnot, I dunno, but it is rather obnoxious.
personally, I find all of the popups annoying. I don't mind having that info be tossed into a queue somewhere that I can look at, like the gnn window, but I hate having to click "ok" through fifteen yor mining bases that defected to join the arceans... and why can you turn off super project notification for your own empire, but not for all of the others? Please, less popups!

I feel so bad for the 3D artists because they put so much work in and I never see any of it! :p It amazes me to find a game so well done that I don't need graphics to sustain it. I just find it much more informative to play on the icon-only level because I can identify ship types and planet class at a glance....plus, I can see more.
I need a game with GC's turn based empire building and SoaSE's miltary and gravity well/phase line setup. I would be a GOD at that game. :P So, as a general rule, always build something? (obviously something useful)
Personally, I miss the DL style of espionage. I liked the fire and forget espionage spending, I'd put it on minimum for each race and then ignore it and let my intel slowly climb. now I have to micromanage the intel...which means I'll probably forget. Maybe I should make a Turn Checklist. :P
So I'm starting to get the hang of the economy, sorta, except for that whole rated at 40-60 thing. and tech is easy to sort out. Expansion..I'm decent at. But fleets. Fleets kill me. When should you build a fleet? What should you build in each fleet? Where should you put them? Why do you need them? It's generally been my practice to build
also, what's with the 10 point techs that don't unlock anything? Like the race history techs and such.
another disturbing/disappointing thing is that certain race specific tech trees gain no extra bonuses from certain ethic choices...like the Altarians as neutral only get neutral shipping and learning centers, but if you choose good they get a half dozen extra defensive techs as well as some fleet defense and attack modules.
Every game ends up the same situation for me. I'm doing good, I'm expanding....and then BAM! suddenly, I'm stretched too thin, I can't keep up with everything and my treasury is self destructing! usually, this happens when I need to start building a military. But if I stay too small, the computer has out-colonized me and has a bigger population base to work with...it seems a no win situation....the computer always has loads of money to fund it's empire and I have nothing...can't even
Yeah, I definitely design my own ships...usually not very varied, tho. heh, I have a fighter, a constructor, a transport and a colony/scout (and a freighter) I've never seen any high class planets...a class 12 is the highest I've found so far...
[edit]What the deuce? I didn't post this in this thread....
I just got the game a couple days ago (sue me, I'm behind the power curve) and read a bunch about it here and on the wiki, but there's still some stuff I'm fuzzy on: -What's the best way to build each type of planet and how do you know which to focus on? (eco, inf, manu) (if you could, give an example for a class 5, 10 and 20) -Planetary defense strategies? Locations for putting starbases, fleets, etc. -Is it better to group like planets for specialization? i.e.
