Reply to Building rather than buying upgrades for ships? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thank you for your reply Mumblefratz, I have one question you may be able to answer. When I am in the shipyard making an upgrade is there any option to keep the weapons shields and the like on the design so that if I want to make a minor change to a complicated ship eg. engine change I can change just one component? I am playing DA as I am waiting for TA to come out of beta.

Building rather than buying upgrades for ships? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

First off is this even currently possible? I think not. If we could build upgrades then they would be much more viable. No 10X penalty for buying! What reason is there for not allowing the building of upgrades for ships?

The one tip I found is do not build buildings until you have let you new planets get a high population. Then they will pay for the buildings.

Ah ha I now see your looking to blow loads of cash on pc well http://www.falcon-nw.com/ do expensive top end pcs that cost the earth and are faster than anything else inc alienware. Even the top end dell XPS nowerdays are not totally rubbish! You can easily spend £5000 if you want to get all the best! Here is the Xtanto rundown of top components as I see them note I would never buy these as I have no monies. CPU - intel 45nm QX9650 quad core memory - DDR3 1800Mhz HDD ei

Resources change all parts of your empire while Asteroids only give some production to your planets. This makes resources much more valuable. You can 'blow out' an enemy asteroid mine and then build your own.

Does the wiki have some detail on asteroids? I have yet to find that page.

If I hit F6 when looking at the map in the game it just quits. Like I said above this may not be a real way of exiting the game but it works for me.

As I have not read the manual I am not sure if F6 is a bug or a feature but it is what I use.

I press F6 and BANG the dirt is gone! I mean it instantly quits out.

Do asteroid mines require any sort of maintenance? Like money? Or are they just free manufacturing?

I find the pop increase you get at 100% approval is very useful to try and have on those new planets just to get you started off.

I run Gal Civ II on AMD thunderbird XP 2.0 GHz (cira 2000) running windows 2k sp4 1 GB of DDR 266 ram ATI 9800 pro 128 MB And a nice VP2030B Viewsonic monitor at 1600x1200 Seems to run fine you could get a PC far better than this for £200 here in uk ~$400 so unless you like games like crysis (that no pc can run on max settings) then you do not need to spend much. I would say:- AMD X2 4400+ 2GB DDR2 250-320 GB HD Ati 1950 pro if y

You know that when you change a colour of a race it keeps that colour when it is played by the AI?
