There are times (early/mid game) when you may be forced to use a policy that has a negative effect because you can't proceed without all policy slots used. Like needing to use a policy that buffs production but also raises pollution.

So you can have one spiral from a given start point in ever bigger circles. In the early game it would map the local starting area. I also wonder if having more ability to customize things like this might lead to greater complexity/ or a steeper learning curve.

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="8" id="3905871"] Exactly - As currently configured, the game on Conquest setting is simply a race to colonize planets so that you can build more Orbital Academies than anyone else and over power them with your invincible fleets.

I acknowledge the stats are from GC3: Hmm, so Deep Space9 repairs faster (6) than a dedicated shipyard (4)? Or do the numbers mean something other then 'hit points per turn'? I think invoking the repair command is '4' vs '1' just running around. Do you/anyone know if these stack with the repair command somehow, like it is assumed if a ship is in a yard it is repairing so 4 for the command plus 4 for the yard =8 points base? Also if you are in repair mode ou

Reply to Turning off Fast Exploration causes the fleet to catch fire in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

I also find interesting, is when a flag ship levels. If the ship is at full hit points when it levels the new hit points are added and the ship is at max full 'new' hit points. But if the ship is damaged when it levels, the max possible hit points is raised to the new level, but the ship stays at the previous damaged number of hit points. I would think the behavior would be both one way (add the net new hit point always) or another (never add to the current level of hit points but jus

Hi, Where are these from? Top Gun, OTS, Tactical I/C... etc. I know starship specs is a policy. I think orbital academy is a planet orbital build, but I did not know it was 150% buff. Is there a link to where these are discussed in detail? I can't see them when I go over the tech tree as to the tech needed for them.
