Star Wars Hyper Drive, allows the ship to enter hyper space, the empire has ways of countering it, so it would likely work on the halo tech. Now i'm goinga hold any more comment untill i talk with my friend who is a halo nut, and a sw nut. But over all i think SW has a scale advantage. -Gabe

You could also base a mod off the more space based Macross line of animes, rather than their robotech counterpart. SDF Macross Macross Plus Macross 7 Macross 0 and the recent Macross Frontier In robotech timelines - the SDF-1 is surpassed by later ship classes with SDF labled ships being flag ships for the most part. In the Macross timeline - The Macross, is followed by the Megaroad class (SDF-2 in robotech) and th

Ah rebellion, i loved that game, one of the last good LucasArts Games till before the Prequls when in every new game there had to be some sort of mechanic where you become a Jedi. As much as i love jedi, i also like it when i can be a normal rank and file guy flying against the empire for my freedom. So along with rebellion i also miss the old X-wing series flight games. i also lost my cd at some point but still haveing my c

Personally while being a major Star Wars fan i've always like the Macross Line of ships. So either the SDF-1 Macross or the newer model Macross Quarter, 'beam cannon not working right?, no problem just go fist cufts with your battleship' I have a few designs of my own but they where all rendered in K'nex so their a bit hard to show off. -Gabe

Here is an idea on my part that i came up with after reading this thread. Note this idea was inspired elsewhere but is being articulated by me. Rather than adding another weapon or retyping them, why not add a new defensive value. Right now ships have Armor and Shield Mitigation So in the spirit of GalCiv II, i would suggesting granting capships (and star bases) another defense stat, called "Po

Is there an option to tell the non fenced desktop to stay visable by default? If not i suggest you add an option that allows the user to have the normal unfenced desktop space remain visible.

Such a tool would make it so non-programmer types like myself could do this type of work as well, i really do enjoy the features of the GalCiv2 program and was just the other day wishing i could design ships without needing to load up the full program and do all the research to get to a full featured parrts list. -Gabe

Ever since John Engler left office in 2002, we have had a single state freefall. (as he left us on the edge of a clift and Bush gave us a little push.) At this point new jobs, to point out new jobs that require college degrees and are in something other than our traditional auto industry is a good deal. Also any new job has an affect on other jobs that is another X0,000 to be earned in the state every year. It is the perfect time to move to Michigan, to start so

okay corrections then, +2 more to the Advent's starting for their bases. Sure upgrade their range as long as when maxed their range is still shorter than maxed range for other force's starbases. And to Viramor I wasn't suggenting offensively droping mines i was suggesting that mines cause eachother to go pop, like in the old old game VGA Planets. -Gabe
