thanks for all the advise everyone. I have thrown in a new psu but no difference.

Reply to too many roaming pirates!!! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

the situation is absurd, the pirates i encounter have dozens of massive ships with 120 hit points, surley if you must have priates they should be weak and scattered, not all powerfull like something you would expect from the Borg!!! is there a file one can edit to remove/reduce them? as it stands the game is unplayable everyones trade ships are destroyed and stations the game is no fun whatsoever all my attempts to wipe them out are fruitless.

too many roaming pirates!!! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I havent played GC2 for a year or so and having come back to the basic DA i am amazed to see how many pirates there are. I know they cant invade planents buts there are so many in fleets of 10-20 ships noone can leave thier planets friends and foe alike. Its taking the fun out , is there a simple way to remove them from the game code or something? destroying them is just not possible.

which weapons? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

What weapons should one devolop? sorry if this is a bit noob. I am in the middle of a long game and my rivals all seem to have lots of armour , what is best to counter this? beam. missiles or guns? can someone tell me what is suited for what? is for example guns good against enemies with shields mainly as their defence? and does it pay to heavily arm ships at the expense of defence? any advise would be helpful.

confusing map etc in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Does anyone find the gmae hard to follow as regsrds to who owns what on the map? i really really hate the way there are no actual borders and the way anyone can just park dozens of ships next to our yuor planets, they could do with taking a page out of Civ 4's book in thisa regard. Comments? and are there any mods that can enable borders...
