Reply to Slotless Module Concept in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Personally, I feel like the system should gravitate toward the module-based command-ship methods. You only EVER get 7 command ships....yet you could get a dozen or more specialty modules. (kind like how you keep discovering "free planet upgrades" long after you have upgraded all your colonies) In other words, why not just let you swap each module off your ship "for a cost" after you have researched a better module? This helps both the "upgrade mod

Reply to Turn is stuck with Torian ships shuffling at hypergate in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

Sorry for my comment. I mis understood and didnt realize until I got hit with same thing. Krynn had like 8 survery ships trying to get through hypergate. They actually DO eventually get through, but they have SO MANY moves (like 17) that it takes MANY MINUTES per month.

Reply to Random Tech Tree??? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I do kind of agree with the random tech stuff. But i do kind like the mechanic of the "discount" on research for those defaulted techs. It sometimes stops me from "doing the exact same thing" every game. However I feel like you should be able to force a specific tech, even if maybe at a penalty. However I DONT agree with your assessment of the cookie-cutter research model. There are LOTS of play styles. You can do things like re

Reply to Turn is stuck with Torian ships shuffling at hypergate in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

I have had turns stuck...but never figured out why. However almost every time it was resolved by saving the game.,..and then loading that same game back. A couple times that didnt work, I had to revert to an auto-save.

Reply to Custom Ships Necessary? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Custom ships can help a lot....depending on the individual game. What I have notices is that the "stock" ships, are based on what weapon techs you research first. So if you research beam weapons, and missile defense....you will get default ships with good defense against missiles, and beam weapons for offense. However if later in the game you need to fight an enemy who also uses beam weapons....you then research beam defenses....but your default ships will s

Lost my Custom race in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

I had a custom race I was playing with. Then I downloaded a custom racee from the library, and now my own is gone. :( I have save games with my race...is there any way to bring it back?

Map Settings not honored in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I don't know if this is for ALL game settings but certainly for "starting sector size" If I set it to TINY, and then begin a game, it still has settings from last game. Exit game and start new...sometimes it honors the "tiny" setting, sometimes its small or medium. I cannot really find the pattern.

Thanks for Discreet 5.1 audio! in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Dont know if GalCiv 3 had this or not, but man it sounds great on my speakers. Subtle, but immersive!

Reply to First impression of .90 in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="slarjy" reply="2" id="3845538"] I still have high hopes for this game but not if they rush to release it before it is ready. [/quote] What I'm about to say might sound bad, but it's not intended that way: No GalCiv game has ever been what I think it should be until about 1.5 years after release. But this is NOT a comparison like a lot of games that "ship before they are ready". GalCiv is just very deep and complex. &n

Reply to Galactic Civilizations IV 0.92 Update in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="slarjy" reply="11" id="3845550"] the game it seems... that everything revolves around combat, and yet combat seems to be something they're mostly ignoring in regards to really changing up how things work from how i [/quote] This drastically limits strategy though. The reason combat is so boring is that you MUST have overwhelming force to beat the enemy. Having ships behave differently would open up a lot of precision research to buil

First impression of .90 in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I played a couple hours of v .90 over the past 2 days and wanted to share my impressions. I want to start by saying overall I like it alot! Seems like alot of game mechanics are being streamlined. But admittedly I haven't played all aspects so this is just going to be a smattering of my observations. I absolutely LOVE the bottom bar, which shows you all your actionable options and analytical tasks in one place. I

Awesome thanks! Will play with this when I have a little time and see if i can make things happy.

Btw, both of those screen shots are with the browser window being inactive. When it is active the "non-active tabs" are also colored...just with the primary Curtain theme color and not "grey".

How do I change tab button colors? in Curtains Stardock Forums

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I cannot find where to modify coloring of tabs. Specifically in the theme i like, the browser tabs on in-active window show up as "light grey" which doesnt match anything. Seeing as I almost always have a browser open in the background it really looks poor.

Simple Addition that would help planet management in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

Here's what I think we need, could be per-planet....But should also be a global function: "Do not auto-upgrade planetary improvements that require: [Checkbox] Arnor Spice [Checkbox] Thalium [Checkbox] Etc... " Problem is that in some games, you just don't have access to all resources. I have had times where I managed to trade for a few precious Arnor Spice, and then, because I researched a Moral tech....the armor spice got u

Reply to Stardock Releases Fences, Application to Solve Cluttered Desktops in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Very nice!!!! I was getting worried that Stardock had lost it's creativity! something I REALLY want to see added to this program: Fence as a symbolic link to another folder. This way you can still keep your files in a standard organized structure, but view them on your desktop easily. Would also LOVE to see a fence be a link to a remote store, such as FTP, SkyDrive, GDrive etc.

Is Impulse for Real? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Let me start by asking. Is there a forum for Impulse Support? Because I cannot locate one from inside or outside of the Impulse application. Is this intentional? Second, it seems that there's no way to only view the applications I have installed. I can do filter-based searches, but the only way I can tell what applications are installed is to hunt down the list for the tiny "installed" text beneith the app title. Up until Dec 9th when logon

Reply to Impulse Phase 2X Beta in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Looking much better. However.... I cannot understand for the life of my why these applications are still seperated into "pages". First I have to go to Games, then Strategy, then Page 1 of 10 !!!??? This is a LOCAL application, it has the ability to scroll through vast amounts of items. If you insist on making the UI as clumsy as a "Super Cool AJAX Web 2.0 Website"....then why not just make it a website

Reply to Impulse - Phase II in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

[quote]JeremyG complained about the store being ADS, ummm a store is ads in a sense. The usual intent is you want to buy something when you go to the store, so hence ads to entice you to do just that. Apparently JeremyG also didn't check out the filter tab which would allow you to view just themes or just apps. The reason why some themes appear in there is because they are applications as well (MyColors). Also click "Expanded View" and that games page is only 12 pages I find it irrational to th

Reply to Impulse - Phase II in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Uhhhh Is this really what people wanted? When I click Store, the first thing I see is not content, but ADS! Then if I scroll down a bit (my window wants maximized) i see a tabbed control styled EXACTLY like the application itself, which is pretty confusing. Worse yet....it only shows a few items "per page". Click on the games tab, I see "Page 1 of 23". 23 PAGES? Who has time to look through that. Isnt the point of having a client-side application so that you dont have to
