Quoting parrottmath, reply 25

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.
End of parrottmath's quote

Well this week they've been updating the depots online. So definitely a sign that 'something' is up 'soon'.

 

Take that for what it's worth, the insane ramblings of a GalCiv junkie :dur:

It is released.  Have fun, post pictures of the ships you make and let us know what you would like to see updated or changed about the ship builder.

So far  - only fonts readability, some are too thin, some small, some both.

I'm liking the editor... got some good functionality. I especially like the symmetry switch.

I get a weird "Debug Assertion Failed" error

Expression: vector iterator not incrementable

But ignoring the error twice seems to work. Just odd. Its on an Asus ultrabook running an HD4400 though so god knows.
