I found that same thing when colonizing a planet and a ship was a near it. Clicking on the hex would make the ship appear.

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="3" id="3455822"] I like the alpha, but without diplomacy/the shipyard/big maps, the game is really only a shadow of what it could be. The final release can't come soon enough! [/quote] If the current AI were actually active (in wars too!), it could be "fun". I miss diplomacy a lot too but it'll come in time. Ship Viewer would be legendary and cannot wait to mess with it. :) In addition, I had no issues with the

A starbase-like starport can be a issues in the smaller maps where rushing a fighter can lock the enemy. Allowing some kind of basic fighter to be produced on the planets (come on, trans-atmospheric craft powah!) could help maybe. Or just lead to a boring game of rushing ships? Bigger maps wouldn't have such problem due to distances, right? But I like the idea. It makes more sense. It makes the location choice to be really important. May be more difficult to develop/balance but it

More than 140 names so far. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

I hope that for release day, the Altarian's race description is changed. If the most interesting thing we can say about them is that they look like humans, then we have a problem. We are in Gal Civ III. About time they get something else. Look at the Iridium!!! That said, the Drengin may use some new description too (altough by itself, it's quite better and informative than the Altarian's). Today I culturally flipped by first planet in the game. I was playing Iridium and p

So we get to discover Cthulhu and Gallifrey. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

[quote who="Earth Force Captain" reply="35" id="3455510"] Is there a closing date for this? Just I'm having computer troubles at the moment, so might take a little while to get the star name done.[/quote] Until alpha ends and beta begins. https://forums.galciv3.com/453185/page/1

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="19" id="3455398"] Planets should be able to build scouts, survey ships and colony ships imo; non-combat ships should be an exception, not just constructors. At the least, give us a starting constructor so we can build a shipyard on turn 1[/quote] We should be given an initial starport, much like now. The location would be the only difference. Or so I hope...

Topic SY100: Excellent. Cannot wait for it. It sounds really interesting and with tons of potential. Please, add visual help like with the asteroid fields of GalCivII sending resources to a planet. Topic id100: Still studying it. If we can delay buying ideology ranks (currently not an option), some of those listed options are legendary. Like Belevolence L4.4.

[quote who="Verenti" reply="23" id="3454278"]If...[/quote] Interesting thoughts. :) Would you consider malevolent to allow a person with HIV to have kids? Would you consider malevolent to allow a person with hemophilia to have kids? While both of those are different, I don't think that from the usual moral point of view (in some places), any of them could be considered good. Species or not. Someone please point me at someone who wanted to be born with hemophilia (and

We will likely expand on minor civs but they're not new to GalCiv.

Maybe this time they get to occupy a few planets, ally between themsel

Standard is a discount over the base game and beta access. Elite is like: https://www.galciv3.com/store which includes the current alpha or naming a star. Plus all the expansions/DLC in Galactic Civilizations III.

[quote who="grandmc117" reply="6" id="3455018"]ugh..i always HATED the jagged alliance. especially when i lose 50 planets including my manufacturing or research capitals[/quote] Galactic Civilizations III. 64bits. Tons of RAM. Huuuuuuuuuge map with tons and tons of planets. Jagged Alliance hits in the late game. Cry in a corner. [e digicons]8O[/e]

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="2" id="3455067"]Even if it is, the 50 races should be easy to do once Custom Races are enabled.[/quote] But unless they are done by Stardock or very dedicated modelers, we wouldn't get super duper 3D animated leaders!!! [e digicons]8O[/e]

Wasn't that a Mega Event? Mega Events were toggeable. GalCivIII would follow same path. Never had an issue qith that event anyway. Waiting for Jagged Alliance v2.0 tough.

With the glitch to get double colony capital and using the console to bypass the idle colony button, you get double building queue. :p

[quote quoting="post"] I can only assume $100 USD to help you bug test an incomplete alpha build is a poorly though out April fool's joke. Reduced 38%Original 640 x 1136 [/quote] Does the product description say that you pay just to test? Nope? Case closed. :p

[quote who="Dumhed" reply="2" id="3454550"] cultural expansion strategies could also be seen as a form of Culture War[/quote] Cultural expansion strategies are invasions. Be them about Torian fastmeat chains or carefully placed immigrant baby booms in foreign planets. :p I'm ok with the name being war. And not everybody will play peaceful (including AIs).

[quote quoting="post"]The thing I hate the most is that I never know when my ships are completed. I have to check all my planets (which gets old when you have even 15) to see if any more ships were built, and then mouse over all the little icons to tell which are the ones I need to 'EJECT'.[/quote] 15 isn't that much to look at. At least in full screen mode. That menu to the right is quite nice. But I do agree, specially when kicking ships from the planet. [quote]T

Despite the slider saying that the difficulty is set to Beginner, we only have some kind of proto-AI. It manages to build some stuff, do some survey/exploring/colonizing and... er... look nice in the diplomacy screen. The challenge right now would be the multiplayer. The single player is more like a planet builder with some enemy stomping when you want to finish the game. As time goes by, the AI will be improved step by step much as Chibiabos already said.
