Starport: Galactic Empires

The max resolution on my laptop is 1024x768, so I'm still missing the chatbar.

Is it possible to re-size the SGE window in windowed mode?

Fixed it by changing config file to non-windowed mode. Windowed mode causes the crash.

I just re-installed SGE on my laptop. SGE starts up for a second, shows a black window and then crashes, displaying the Microsoft error reporting utility. I've got XP SP3 fully updated, running on a Lenovo T60 with a T2400 @ 1.83ghz, 2 gigs of ram and an ATI Radeon X1300. I played SGE for a long tim...

Yeah, that's irritating. But normally the NPC's can kill each other so how would you propose that just in some special cases they don't? It would probably just be down to improving the AI a bit. The NPC AI could use some work. Nothing like a yellow NPC barge with 10% shields attacking a red NPC Seth...

I like that they are permanent until destroyed.

I say leave them as is.

Is it possible to change the code for the holdings screen?

Make it so it only loads one page at a time to use less resources?

I'm a software developer and would love the opportunity to help out.

I think the game is stagnating and it's getting boring IMO. Some new gameplay options and felxibility would definitely improve it. Toonces needs some messing with his head! Perhaps he should allow some new development. I'm sure there are many members of the community who would be overjoyed to dedica...

I'm not sure if this would make things too easy. It would surely make building and colony management a lot less tedious, finicky and irritating though. It would reduce the extra trips for oil/org/med/ana when building as your hungry colonists wouldn't be grabbing for it all the time. ie. I bring 300...

hug YOU AND THE GIRAFFE YOU ROAD IN ON MOTHER hugger!

Why don't you like it?

Can you still be invaded during "vacation mode"? If not then I can see the potential for manipulation. Let's see....I'm being invaded by UnhappyCampers Corporation. I don't want them to take my colonies so I go into vacation mode. Now they can't invade me for two weeks and I can get other corps to ...

Bump, cause this is the best and easiest idea out there at the moment to make the game better.

I know this is kind of a huge change, but I wanted to throw it out there anyways as I think it's a cool idea. So your interstellar spacecraft is used for just that. Space combat and flying from system to system. A new shuttle is required that resides in the shuttle hangar bay of each of the current ...

Still down...

Yeah, what's up with that action?

I was just about to post a thread in here but the fellow above me beat me to it.

the colonists would rebel and eat stuff anyway, kinda like what stklr's getting at Incorrect! In a socialist, prison or dictator government resources can be rationed without much difficulty. You would not of course be able to toggle resources in a democracy. Oh please put this in! It would let us b...

Bump, cause this is the best idea lately.

Yep, it's been suggested many times.

I was thinking that since Toonces seems to be so active with changes lately, I'd bring it to the table again.

I've suggested it before and I still think it's a great idea. It would be amazing to be able to allow/disallow colonist resource consumption. We would be able to more effectively manage colonies and it would be a boon to builders. Solar and weapons production would not be effected. The resource cons...

Dumb idea!

NZ'ers...

I've already posed idea # 2, as have several others. It's a very good idea and not that complex to implement I wouldn't think. A check box beside each resource to allow or dis-allow consumption by colonists. Don't have to worry about greedy colonists using up resources when building. Can also easily...
