[quote who="ryuzu" reply="53" id="3458463"] I'm a bit late to this thread, and broadly I think the information about production, economic icons is correct. My concern is with the graphics of the buidlings though - I just don't like them. They all seem a bit "un-futuristic" - the market looks like a medieval era one for example, the factories look like they're from the 1920s. I think ideally I'd like something that
[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="42" id="3458052"] Quoting Achronous, reply 41 It's good UI design I'd say. Makes you focus on the important parts.

Re: point 1), good call! Just wanted to chime in to add my agreement too. I don't mind the zig zag so much with smaller ships like the scout, but it looks a bit odd when the Survery Ship does it, and I think it's going to look really weird with massive battleships darting about all over the place... A gent over on the Steam boards mentioned the movement of naval vessels in Civ 5, so perhaps they can serve as a basic (starting) reference point for the movement of ships in GC3 t
Hi there, extremely long time since I've last posted, about 8 years I think, but I've been lurking (sounds a bit sinister) around the forums a fair bit over the years, and have been a huge fan of the franchise since I picked up a copy of Gal Civ 1 as a really random impulse purchase in a little independent game shop (long since closed) about a decade ago now! I totally missed the announcement of GC3 until very recently. Thankfully I came back and saw the announc
