How do I activate the beacon

[mkorin]

I built the beacon and my victory condition says to activate the beacon. I can't find anything in the civilpedia or a missing tech etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Click on the beacon, choose to activiate it in the interface.

Thanks, I thought that was decorotive gilt. Talk about a boring ending. Activate, wait 45 turns you win.

Yeah... Only chance for AI to win is to DoW and destroy or win faster.... -.-

Are there no buildings that speed this waiting time. (Such as the Mind Stem to speed up the transcendence victory)?

Not having ever gone for a Contact victory (sounds boring to me), I can't say for sure, but there should be. Sort of like how in older Civs, you could choose how many engines and such to put on your spaceship, so someone with a faster ship could win even if someone else launched first.

If there is, I couldn't find it. I do every win once (have to know how to stop them) than focus on domination for the rest of my games. Any other win type is too boring.
