Will you include your wormy ship as part of the patch... I think you should name it Kraken and when you release the patch tell us you released the Kraken ;) (You know you want to... everyone wants to say that one)

Export won't be in this build so 3D printing of ship designs isn't ready yet.

Reply #21 from GalCiv3 Forums Top

This is awesome  :grin:

 

Can't wait for release to give it a try. Many thanks Stardock devs.

Next year I'm looking into buying a 3d printer and by then I'll own maya, 3ds max, etc... Oh man looking forward to that.

Reply #23 from GalCiv3 Forums Top

Hmm, interesting.  I could print out all my ships and have an instant fleet for my table-top games.

I keep restarting Steam thinking the beta will be there......

 

In the mean time I'm refreshign SteamDB trying to find any indication of the patch.

I suspect that the soonest this patch will be out is this Thursday. But that is if all goes well from now until then... They might push it to next week which qualifies as soon. But I wouldn't suspect that it would not be more than 2.5 weeks from now.
