[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="42" id="3455742"] Gallifrey, like in doctor who. I think it was spelled different, so no violation. I think. DARCA. [/quote] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallifrey I cannot wait for the Gallifrey's system inhabitants to battle Cthulhu's ones.

[quote who="Seilore" reply="1" id="3455840"] If that's the case than starbases should be able to be captured, or turned to your side.... otherwise I'm just going to build starbases all over your space to prevent you from building any lol.[/quote] Some would just mop their space from alien junk. Stupid AIs would just suffer the spam.

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="3" id="3455822"] I like the alpha, but without diplomacy/the shipyard/big maps, the game is really only a shadow of what it could be. The final release can't come soon enough! [/quote] If the current AI were actually active (in wars too!), it could be "fun". I miss diplomacy a lot too but it'll come in time. Ship Viewer would be legendary and cannot wait to mess with it. :) In addition, I had no issues with the

A starbase-like starport can be a issues in the smaller maps where rushing a fighter can lock the enemy. Allowing some kind of basic fighter to be produced on the planets (come on, trans-atmospheric craft powah!) could help maybe. Or just lead to a boring game of rushing ships? Bigger maps wouldn't have such problem due to distances, right? But I like the idea. It makes more sense. It makes the location choice to be really important. May be more difficult to develop/balance but it

I hope that for release day, the Altarian's race description is changed. If the most interesting thing we can say about them is that they look like humans, then we have a problem. We are in Gal Civ III. About time they get something else. Look at the Iridium!!! That said, the Drengin may use some new description too (altough by itself, it's quite better and informative than the Altarian's). Today I culturally flipped by first planet in the game. I was playing Iridium and p

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="19" id="3455398"] Planets should be able to build scouts, survey ships and colony ships imo; non-combat ships should be an exception, not just constructors. At the least, give us a starting constructor so we can build a shipyard on turn 1[/quote] We should be given an initial starport, much like now. The location would be the only difference. Or so I hope...

Topic SY100: Excellent. Cannot wait for it. It sounds really interesting and with tons of potential. Please, add visual help like with the asteroid fields of GalCivII sending resources to a planet. Topic id100: Still studying it. If we can delay buying ideology ranks (currently not an option), some of those listed options are legendary. Like Belevolence L4.4.

[quote who="Verenti" reply="23" id="3454278"]If...[/quote] Interesting thoughts. :) Would you consider malevolent to allow a person with HIV to have kids? Would you consider malevolent to allow a person with hemophilia to have kids? While both of those are different, I don't think that from the usual moral point of view (in some places), any of them could be considered good. Species or not. Someone please point me at someone who wanted to be born with hemophilia (and

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="30" id="3454755"]Minor civs have been part of GalCiv since the beginning. That's why I didn't break them out into their own section. We will likely expand on minor civs but they're not new to GalCiv. We had them first.[/quote] There is hope for minor civs in GCIII to do more than occupy one planet and spam the univese with starbases (and offer cheap tech trading). Maybe this time they get to occupy a few planets, ally between themsel
