Game Play Questions

from GalCiv3 Forums

So I have a few questions.'

1) I accidentally sent a ship to a planet, can I get it back somehow?

2) I built my Shipyard too far from the planet and my Transport was then built without any soldiers on board, is there a way to then load soldiers?

3) I sent a ship to the Shipyard, and I couldn't get it back either. Did I mis-interpret the instructions? Can I get it back...and how?

 

Thanks

Yes, click on the planet, you should see a list of ships on the bottom left corner, select a ship than click somewhere for it to go.

Sent the transport to one of your planets, than launch it.

Same thing as question 1.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply!

Okay, Maybe I'm dense or blind, but I'm looking in the bottom left corner and seeing nothing that mentions ships. Sorry if I'm crazy, but I just don't seem to have a list over there. I found one spot that says I have "ships defending" but that didn't lead to a list of them. I'm running v 1.2. Something that didn't make it out of beta?

 

One really confused Woozol

You right click on the "Ships Defending" to pull up the list.

When a ship is stationed and you click on the planet or shipyard, you will see tiny icons of the ships stationed there. When you click on an icon it will give the option to eject the ship you clicked on. hth

Let's try again with pictures.

Step 1: left click on the planet.

Step 2: left click on the ship.

Step 3: right click where you want the ship to go.

Thanks so much, I finally found it. Doh!

 

While your answering questions, I'm playing the Arcean campaign and my ship won't colonize a planet. Ship has a population of 3.0 and there are no planet defenses. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks Again

Which mission? The things that come to mind are it's a class zero planet, it's already colonized or you are using a troop transport instead of a colony ship. A screenshot would help.

By saying it has no defences i assume you mean its already colonized by a different faction if so you need to send a troop transport to take the planet over

THANKS AGAIN, my problem was that I was using a Transport instead of a Colony Ship. It matters a lot that there's some helpful peeps out here. The game isn't intuitive to me and I would have just given up playing it without the help I've gotten.
