Ton of changes eh? And I hoped only the new races Torians etc. would add their tech trees. I guess mercenaries have added something to tech trees... [e digicons]>_>[/e]

Ok Mercenaries are out I'm not starting the game untill you release the updated mod. I'm waiting patiently..... [e digicons]O:)[/e]

I use the generalized version. I know it's hard to update all techs for all races! I tried several times (and failed) to create a general tech tree just for humans and it's a very long xml it takes too long even by using notepad++. But I guess updating doesn't need so much work perhaps fixing some errors there and there. It's the new races that come to the game they will need a new generalized tech tree! [e digicons]:([/e] No matter which version you

Thanx a lot! I finally played GC3 again. I haven't played it since beta when specializations were enforced. Really dislike them, they ruined the game. But probably the mod needs an update best when the new expansion is released in 2 weeks with Torians back in the game!

I upgraded a survey ship but the strategic icon changed to scout despite the fact it's equipped with survey module and weapons. Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong here?

I don't like the charachter M being used with numbers like M33, M35 and so on. Is it possible to create my own naming? Like X1, F4 etc. I d'like to use different letters for different ships, for example for civilian ships like colony, constructor, freighter C. For tiny fighters T, for scout ships S, for survey E etc. etc. I'm already working on a unique ship style and want to personalize it more to have those different charachters mean something inst

Since I dislike specializations and I don't play the game since they were enforced I'd like to create a mod to disable them. I have tried to alter tech trees but the game crashed. Although I have some experience with mods I can't make it work. Can someone give directions how to disable tech specializations? Or even better is there already a mod for this?

I hate specializations and I haven't played the game since they were added. I have been waiting for a mod but unfortunatelly I'll have to do it myself at least I will try...

I started making my own immense map and it's lots of work because of the missing elements mentioned above. It's really tiresome having to select tiny stars and then move cursor to delete system and confirm! If you click by mistake anywhere else you miss it and you have to click the star again! I want to press delete button, and if I press shift I can select multiple objects instead one. Undo/Redo Action Ability to customize planets colours, terrain size

[quote who="wpkelley41" reply="94" id="3542842"] Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Master Of Orion II had the exact same limitation...a choice of 2 or 3 techs on the tech tree. I remember having to choose between Bio Domes and something, etc. This irritated me from time to time, because I wanted ALL techs. However, I really learned to appreciate having to make the choices. There was a racial trait, "Creative" I think, that allowed all techs...no choice necessary. I stopped picking

It's funny many people here trying to defend the new limitation called "specialization" saying it makes game more interesting, using different strategy or the last ridiculous comment above which suggests that we want to play as several races at once... pfffffff..... Ideology was already enough to pick between 3 choices everytime you colonize a planet, game already had this. Putting a limit in research and say no you can't research this even when you have already your own

Putting some techs in a box and call them specializations its nothing but a limtation. If someone wants to research one of the thre he can and then invest in different tech ignoring the other two. When I want to improve my ship tech I will learn to make it harder, cheaper, smaller why just one? For example today computers are faster, smaller and cheaper than they were 20 years ago. GC3 has been suggesting all the time that things should not work in a realistic way but differen

I really hate it. To the point I don't want to play the game anymore, its a game breaker. In all strategy games I focus on research and in GC3 my custom human race their first priority is to research, its part of my strategy. Playing with "specializations" sucks... I exited the game immediately I can't stand this... Looking in the xml files seems to be a nightmare to disable them someone needs to spend hours and hours to make a mod for tech to work properly. <s

Good news, Im also trying and testing.. A good idea would be to use the techdefs before the Beta 6 and use it as a base to modify the updated one and making it work exactly like it should!

Oh well I was anxious to play the Beta 6 but hate the tech specialization so much that I will postpone it untill there is a solution. My custom race in GC and every other strategy game I play focuses in research, so this limitation it's a game breaker to me to the point I don't like the game like this anymore. They made a really bad decision on this..

I totally agree. There should be borders and respected by AI. In all strategy games and sci-fi movies or tv series there are borders in space. Entering them with no permission means war! Building starbases inside my empire?? What the hell.. I will destroy you... And no culture flips for starbases or shipyards.. when entire planets have culture flips they should a lot easier to flip. I don't know what's Stardock position in this but I have mentioned many times things th

Reading TechDefs.xml I noticed Tech Point which is always 1 perhaps this counts as one per category so the specialization. Perhaps making them all 0 will disable specialization? [e digicons]:|[/e]

Does anyone knows how to disable tech specializations? I have found TechSpecializationDefs.xml one for every race perhaps deleting/disabling them?

I noticed that sea was replaced by a a blue gradient background. I'm still in the beggining haven't colonized other planets but Earth with no sea looks weird. Its like landmases float in a blue haze rather sea. Bring the sea back... [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

My custom human race. They are based mostly on research, spending is locked 60% Research 40% Manufacturing. Plus they get a research trait bonus. I play peaceful and nice investing to develop my planets while I colonize more and more to the farthest possible any direction. By the time I meet other factions I have already a large empire no military power or tech but I play it nice on them and if they dare to colonize a planet in my area they doom themselves... culture flip is

Personally I don't like the globe system in diplomacy screen but ideology screen this is where I would like more prominent rings. What I have alredy unlocked and what not. When you go and check ideology with no points to spent you can't see which ones are unlocked and which ones are still locked the difference between two is hardly noticeable.
