hi ,

i enjoy the game for almost 100h on gog (thanks for that) , about late game fleet size i think prod/ore maintenance could be a solution :
prod and ore maintenance with "exponential" cost for larger hulls .
gold maintenance only for mercenaries .

The vast distances I set in the galaxy ...

This is On a large map. to which I have only opened up half of it so far. I have a fleet of about 50 ships and these two races have these many ships. If ever these fleets would meet, Im sure something ...

I'm not sure if anyone else feels overwhelmed form managing these number of ships but I do.


I have been playing all the three default size maps a lot + maps with around 170 stars, but have never come across such a situation.

Reason being: If I have a strong enough fleet sitting around doing ...

This is an old build screen shot, but I'm seeing similar results with 99 star galaxies.

How do you folks handle large fleets like this? I mean when you enter into combat, they practically fill the entire combat screen.
We all like the turn based combat but does it ...

Give me a bit on the file part.

Regarding the slow start time issue you reported: I've just written up a post with strategies for speeding up game load times on the Steam forums. They all involve adding exceptions to your virus scanner, which is not always a great idea, particularly if your ...

That game lock up again. This time when loading a game.

On the file, and I have a file dump if need be. I'm going to see if I can recreate the issue once more.

It's not a massive issue but when you 1st start the game, it seems all the text jumbles and pixilates. When you press the windows key to window -size the game, or if you start in a windowed size, then make the game full screen it goes away and never comes back.

I uses the sis.exe for the 1st and last part, then the sis64.exe in the middle.

So to clarify: have you experienced any crashes since installing both versions of vc_redist?

If so, the next time the game freezes or pops up a 'serious bug' notice, before closing the game, could you open the ...

Also there is an sis.exe and sis64.exe. Does it matter which one I star the game with?

In theory, it shouldn't. Which one have you been using up until now? (If you've been using sis.exe, then it's vc_redist.x86 that's most likely to help with these crashes.)

I uses the sis.exe for the 1st and ...

Always glad to help anyway I can!

I didn't know if it was note worthy or not but I ran into this http://i.imgur.com/EceGW9I.jpg this morning just before you sent the update you asked me to test. I haven't seen it again.

vc_redist.x64 - installed the package

I uploaded Game_4056 prior to this ...

I'll have to get back to you on the uploads, I started a new game, but now Im encountering this http://i.imgur.com/Z5CBTnm.jpg and this http://i.imgur.com/QxoD3wO.jpg And YES I finally uploaded a game file
Game_4053.

The lock up happens right after I attack the 4th planet where the fleet is

Can we make that Dreadnought “guardian” a lot more powerful? As in give it the top of the line armor, shields, generator, and weapons? On brutal mode it seems the AI was able to take it out with 2 carriers and 3 heavy cruisers after about the 30th turn.

1. I remember there being various types of music, but I think I keep hearing the same in battle and on the star map?
2. Some systems will not allow me to build an artificial planet when there is an open spot
3. some lag? when selecting single ships in combat
4. Ships with no damage and out ...

Is there a reason not to allow transferring the rest of certain race from a planet if it's less than a 1000000 (but more than 250000)?
Ive been able to take a population off a planet the moment it its just about 990,000 which in game math is close enough to 1 population.

I think the most basic ...

Working as intended then ?
I doubt that very much. :D

When intervening in an invasion between two of my allies, a number of interesting things happened:
1. The diplomatic relationship did not suffer from me attacking one of my allies to protect the other (has been reported before)
2. The ...
