Reply to [Exploit] Constructor modules and upgrading in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

what I have been doing with upgrading is taking more expensive ships that have served there usefulness and instead transforming them on the spot into something that is more regionally useful to me. Taking ships and changing them into either a constructor, transport, or colony ship. Usually I'm getting free ships from anomolies, so I xfer those ships into one of the other 3 types previously mentioned when needed. The ship I am xfering to is a bare bones ship with noth

Reply to [Exploit] Constructor modules and upgrading in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

what I was doing was make 2 designs with no engines and nothing but 2 constructor modules. The cost to upgrade is 57 credits and takes one turn. This lets me spam upgrades at 1 per turn with little cost. The final upgrade also doesn't consume the ship, letting me use it else where. I've heard that if you make a shipyard it consumes the ship, even if it had multiple constructor components, I haven't tested it to confirm this though.

vaguely heard something along these lines, but also heard that no mod was possible, so not sure....essentially if you add any extra ship components then I believe that particular mod will not work with metaverse

Reply to Attacker Advantages are Exploitable! in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

I find that its always better to be attacking than defending, and most of my battles are me attacking the enemy at my choosing ( fast ships). I also try to minimize the damage I take, I don't have first strike ability in game I'm playing, so I do work up defenses to whatever their attack is and use only ships against weapons that use that damage type... most of my ships survive because of my strategy, and working up defense tech is part of my strategy. I rather have a balanced ship wh

Reply to My oddest game experience yet in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

The drath started off quite powerful in terms of planets and influence, so I declared war on the altarrians and immediately got into war with the drath and Torrians, or whoever you spell them. The drath I'm at war with again and they are on the ropes, similiar to the Drengin, although the drath aren't stupid and would agree to peace unlike the drengin. I was concerned about Drengin's mass driver tech so early on a built the defender 6 that had armor agains the mass driver, and that defender 6

Reply to My oddest game experience yet in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

actually I killed the altarians as the first race to die, while I was fighting 2 other races, one of them being the torrians...who I recently completely wiped out... seems I attacked the altarrians and two other races that I was neighboring with declared war on me, only reason I ended the war with the two other races including the torrians was because I got free planets to declare peace, I gave them alot of peace time because I was going after the Yor, later ended up fighting the korx

Reply to My oddest game experience yet in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

game I'm playing started in gigantic map with abundant planets, and was kind of getting sick of the game, because there was like 800+ planets and I had like 300+ planets, and it was getting old. So of course in the middle of the map there was the mega-event with a whole section growing all uninhabited planets go to 13 tiles, which I had just gotten into the area killing Yor, so also expanded more and grabbed about a third of the planes that were available...... since then I have crushe

Reply to Stategy, helpful hints for Normal difficulty? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

my strategy is realitively simple, don't mess with the sliders, do 33% in all areas, and instead, focus on the more important areas you need to develop....colony rush and how you rush is extremely important...in my first metaverse gigantic map abundant planets, I new there was a ton of planets out there, so I had to make it a priority to grab as many as possible... I started in not quite the corner but close to it, so instead of branching into the corner, I ignored it, and branched out from tha

Reply to Fix the sizes of ship components in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

1) easy enough to work around and figure it out..... 2)) notice this, but really you don't want to use the in-game ships anyhows, best to use small hulls with a colony module, costs less...... basically it sh0ws two but really its only one, and I think this would also come across if you priced it out, besides the extra range/life support they put on the ship, it doesn't charge you for two... 3) really the bigger ships can carry more, so even though the components

Reply to Having trouble with ship movement in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

there is an option that lets you move all ships with movement left after you click turn end, so if they have any movement left after autopilot, gives you the option to finish its move....helps alot...also if you missed ships that still have movement, then you can finish thier movement with this option selected ( or turned off). if you cannot find it in the options list, I'll specify the exact one, but think its pretty obvious.... So basically I use tab/find to get all ships that I can

Reply to Terrans discover class 18 planet in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Actually, time doesn't slow down at all if I remember my physics class correctly... not on the inside, at least. From the perspective of someone outside, though, time would be steadily slowing down (and whatever you are observing becoming more and more redshifted) the close you came to the event horizon. if you put two very precise clocks together, and sync them, then put one on a plane, fly it around, the clocks will no longer be in sync when it lands.

Reply to Terrans discover class 18 planet in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

we already know how to make artificial gravity ( at least theoretically ) by using centrifugal force.....I'd love to see us develop more in space, I think that is the next major frontier. If we used what we know about using centrifugal force, made an actual space station that had artificial gravity, and with that knowledge created a space city ( hundreds of thousands of people who live in space ), then from there we could alot easier colonize the moon and mars. After that, we could conceivably

Recreating Enterprise - the challenge in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Been playing alot in metaverse, and unfortunately you cannot use any mods in metaverse.. I'm playing Terran and still on my first metaverse game. So set about recreating Enterprise, and got a basic design set up for that ship. Made me think that it would be a fun challenge for people to use the default ship building blocks and attempt the same thing, recreating the enterprise, and then sharing what you have gotten with everyone else here.... If your up for the challenge, recr

Reply to Ships in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

you really shouldn't set up each ship as different, but set up a basic class of ship and then build many of them.... You can even use the basic designs of the computer like defenders and just upgrade them, and add your own choice weapons/defenses.... the biggest problem I find with the pre-gen ships is that they fill up the space with alot of stuff you probably don't really want on a warship. Range/life support, etc. you can use small and tiny ships and throw on some
