I like the idea. I used to blockade planets if I was at war with AI race in GalCiv2. I'd set up two or three fleets with fighters to go after blockade runners around planets and kill anything coming off those planets. I would station Transports just outside range and when I had decimated their ship fleets I would invade the planet. I am not sure it should be a feature but I would love to have the option to blockade not just when at war but for trade and economics. Backed up

OPPS POST

The OP already posted this same topic on steam and I had already explained to him why it wouldn't work. He basically wants to add "counselors" for Governor's as silent "advisers" that will give planetary bonuses we already get by having Governor's for colonized planets. IMHO this would not work for GCIII because assigning Governors already does this, it just hasn't been implemented yet. See Steam thread here. I thumbed this down because it would be unrealistic to have

My latest contest submission #4. Pure Terran designed small scale Fighter/Bomber. The "Crusader". Nothing but Terran ship parts used.

Darca, if you need help with ship building come talk to me, I think I have mastered the ship designer very well.

Thanks charon! It was a PITA to do but I've been told I pretty much nailed it. Thank you for the compliment!

Will ships designs based on TV shows and movies be qualified?

[quote who="moi-meme" reply="63" id="3490068"] Quoting Rand Johnson, reply 61 IT SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE GC1 AND GC2!!!!! ITS GC3 FOR GOD'S SAKE ITS A SUCCESSOR TO THOSE GAMES. IT'S NOT MOO AND IT WONT HAVE TACTICAL COMBAT THE WAY YOU AND SOME OTHERS HERE WANT IT... GET OVER IT ALREADY. IT"S NOT FINISHED YET!!! ARRRR

Just completed my first conquest victory and noticed even after I destroyed all AI Dregin shipyards they were still able to spawn ships. Also while upgrading planets I see the Xeno Medical Center takes over 4 trillion turns to complete. I dont know if that is a typo or not but it has discouaged me from building it. I can provide a screenshot so show the rediculous number of turns listed to complete Xeno Medical Center. Please check this and let me know if you need a screenshot of build

Hey Trump! Just bumping this to let you know I am not seeing anymore lag or freezing in the ship designer. Appears the Beta Updates have addressed and fixed the problem. Happy Ship Building!!!

Trump, I sent a bug report to Stardock about the lagging in the ship designer. They confirmed it is indeed a bug and plan to fix it in a future update. Brad Ather handled my report.

Look for the Carrier module in ship parts. it is a fighter launch bay module.

OOPS

I have been complaining about this also. I made a similar post about this a few weeks ago and got no reply. Others have also encountered this problem. When building custom ships I always encounter a major lag. UI slows down to a snail crawl. Toggling tools for ship parts work but after saving game and reloading parts flip back out of position. I have not had this problem I see on your screenshot yet but it does look like a similar bug I encountered while playing GCII. When I use to ma

Here are some new ships I designed. I decided this design style will be my Civilizations (Terran) signature ships. Being it an original design and unique. This is the Crossbone, she is a dreadnought destroyer and one TOUGH Lady. I have played this ship on the map against AI. AI ambushed her with 6 fleets of smaller ships. She took out four fleets before she bought the farm. Imagine what a fleet of this ship could do. [IMG]http://i115.photobuck

Wolfleader, I attempted to design an EVE Online NYX class today. However given the limited ship parts we have in the Alpha right now it can't be done yet. I have requested more ship parts be added and Paul Boyer said there will be much more additional ship parts added until it goes gold. There is also a request to have shipyard parts from GCII TOA ported over if it can be done. Right now there just isn't enough ship parts make a decent resemblance of an NYX Class ship from EVE

Played all GCII campaigns and beat them. Research is the key here to stay ahead of the other races while in campaign play. If you can out pace the AI researching tech the campaigns are winnable with constant upgrades to ships with latest unlocked tech, weapons and armor. I managed to research the entire tech tree before I beat the game in campaign mode.

Thank you erisxhild! Here is another one of my original shipyard designs. This is the UFP Wishbone CVB-45. This is my first large scale Battleship made with Alpha 3 shipyard. She is well armed and well defended. Looking forward to seeing how she does in battle. I really love how this one turned out!

Let me emphasize on Rover's reply.... ARE YOU INSANE???? I am having a blast testing this game and making my own custom star ships. Access to the Alpha and beta Phase testing means you will get EVERYTHING the game will have to offer when it goes gold. ALL DLC and future expansion games for GCIII. HELL, I was even offered to create ships for a future Mod for this game. Was $100.00 bucks worth it! HELL YEAH! So again I ask gbaran... ARE YOU INSANE?!

How about something original I created to play on Galactic Civilizations III alpha phase 3 test. This is the UFP ( Universal Federation of Planets) Fighter Assault Carrier Carl Stennis, CVS-21. This is a multi-role attack and defense carrier for assaults, fleet defense and rescue operations. Carrier is large scale, can house two fighter and bomber squadrons capable of attacking and defending itself. Comments welcome. [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMajik/2014-07-05
