Cargo bays provide more storage space but to actually launch fighters during combat you must have fighter bays. I usually design carriers with such CB to FB ratio that will allow 3 rounds of fighters launching.

I, like many others, was also sorely disappointed by Civ 3. Do a search on this forum for it, and you'll see what I mean.

You can load cargo either by using the Load Cargo order or the Transfer Cargo order. The Load Cargo order will tell the ship to load as much cargo of the type you specify that it can hold. The Transfer Cargo order can only be used when the ship is orbiting the planet (or in the same sector (square) as another ship or base). It can let you transer specific amounts of cargo.

Civ III was the best money I ever spent. Because of it, and a couple of other turkey's, I have stopped buying new games from the big publishers until they have been out for at least 6 months. I would have to say that it has already saved me hundreds of dollars, and it also turned me on to some really great independant games...like SEIV!

Same here. Sid Meiers has really lost his touch. I hope he can find that magic that created Civ and Civ 2 again.

Why do people think CIV3 is so lousy when comparing it to the original? The differences between them are so miniscule that I could hardly see liking one and not liking the other.
