cap ship level in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

What is the highest level cap ship you have seen? Is there a limit?

Reply to The Mission system Sucks in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

In the early game the mission system is necessary to secure a flank from attack. It works pretty well. It doesn't help me win on unfair, but it lets me win games on hard, because I can get an ally on one flank by attacking the other....

I am on 1.04, but it must have been the countdown. I did not realize it was there. Thanks.

Can't go to war. in Technical Sins Forums

I am playing a game and am at a point where it is most convenient for me to go through an ally to expand. But when I say go to war, it will still not let me target his ships or infrastructure.

Haha, yeah on a few of the line it almost sounds like the are pre-orgasmic. My favorite line is "White lies ahead!!"

Reply to Total noob, i need help from the get go. in Strategy Sins Forums

Yeah I am still playing against the AI and have been iterating toward many of these strategies. You really do need to focus on building a big fleet of frigates fast. First I had to get over the desire to build my economy. Then I went through a phase of learning that devensive structures in the early game are a serious waste of money. I lost Gateway against hard players over and over trying to defend long enough to capture Gateway and break through to the other star system first. Serious was

Reply to GalCiv II: May Roadmap in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

THE single most annoying thing about Galciv2 is the trade screen. Can you make it so when I offer a bundle of tech, and then I call up his cash bar to ask money for it, that the screen come up automatically set to how much he is willing to offer for the bundle. I mean, it is a single answer for any give bundle of goods, and it is a huge pain in the ass to have to search for that optimum level. It adds no value to the game other than to test one's patience. Can you PUHLEASE fix this. It woul

Reply to Race color, blind toggle, Control N all broken? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I too had no problem with CTL-N before. It always worked for me. Bumping you back to metaverse log in is effectively an elimination of the feature, since it saves on about one mouse click and takes about thirty time longer. The CTL-N feature is completely usesless as currently implemented. You might as well have left it as it was before. Then at least SOME people go value out of it. Now nobody will, because it adds almost nothing that one cannot accomplys by clicking Main Menu and then Met

Reply to Control- N nerfed? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I am sorry, taking one to the metaverse login is NOT a fix for the CTL-N problem. It is effectively an elimination of the feature. They completely broke it.

Reply to 200 years, 5 mil points in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

This had better be fixed and pronto. I am not a brilliant player and will never compete for the high scores, but I can compete to help my team get higher. Until this is fixed, I have ZERO motivation to do that. doug

Reply to "Scan" planets before colonizing? in Colonies GalCiv2 Forums

If it really matters, there is a cumbersome way to do this. Save the game. Colonize. If you don't like what you see restore the game at the point before you colonized. doug

Reply to GalCiv II: v1.1 preview in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Looks like a lot of great upgrades: Please give constructors TWO circles. I want to see the area of influence before I build, but I also want to see the three parsec limit. doug

The option would be nice. Against stronger opponents, sometimes scorched earth is necessary.

Ship templates in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I am starting to realize that if I don't want to keep rebuilding ship aesthetics over and over, I have to build the hull and not outfit it with any weapons or shields or anything. Otherwise you have to wait for all the enabling techs to show up before you build it, which doesn't always make sense in any given game.

Detected Cheat Codes in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The Metaverse is not posting my scores. I looked at my results and it said that it detected cheat codes. I have no idea what it is talking about. Is there something routine that one might do that would look like cheating? Please help me on this, since I would like to participate, but I have no idea why it is not posting my scores. doug

Scores Not Posting in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, My scores are not posting to the Metaverse. I read that if it detects cheats or certain things it will not post them, but I am not doing that. I saw other people are having this problem. Has anything been resolved yet? doug

When does the metaverse count your game in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

When you log in to play a game on the metavers, does it count every game whether you finish or not, or do you only submit the ones you want to submit? doug

What if you basically suck? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I love these sorts of games, but I am really only a fair to middlin' player. I can usually beat the games on average difficulty levels but never better than that. If you join an empire as a basically lame player, are you dragging it down?
