[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="4" id="3475418"] ^Your a genius! I thought it was either me going blind or the new invisible icons we have been waiting so long for. DARCA. [/quote] At first I thought I researched some hide your planet cloaking tech. Cant invade a planet if they cant see it, Right? [e digicons]:cylon:[/e]

Talking to another Alpha tester Via steam chat we looked up the file paths for colonized planets icons and the file path in planet art def.xml thumbnails file paths are missing and were not re-added. This needs to be fixed.

Glad to see i am not the only one that has noticed colonized planet icons are missing from menu.

But before the update all colonized planet icons showed up in the menu. Why not now? That is what I am wondering.

Playing with Alpha 3 tonight I noticed none of the planets I colonized show as icons in the menu. Its just a black circle with nothing there with no planet icon.

[quote who="Edladner" reply="103" id="3475093"] I love that fighter, I would use that in the game. [/quote] When we get tactical combat with combat screen I do plan to use it and have it stationed on Carriers.

Anything that can go right is a matter of luck. Anything that can go wrong is a matter of fate. This is how I interpret Murphy's law. However I will not debate this. Take it on faith. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

How about some Romulans? Here is my concept for a Romulan Warbird.

Murphy goes both ways. Hope for the good Murphy. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Avatar137" reply="92" id="3474604"] I was wondering what was taking you so long! Nicely done.[/quote] I was bound to get around to it, ya gotta know that. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Thanks for the compliment!

It just wouldn't be Star Trek without our beloved Klingon's... Klingon Battle Cruiser Concept. [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMajik/2014-06-21_00002_zps41a84b95.jpg~original[/IMG]

Edladner , Nice ship! One question though... Are you utilizing the the offset feature in the shipyard? I only ask because your ship appears to be stacked and not blended. The more you use the shipyard the better it gets.

When is the new patch to be released? I'm waiting like a kid on Christmas Eve for this! NEW TOYS!!!!!

Star Trek TOS style Lexington Class Command Cruiser.

I posted this same idea and request a few weeks ago on the Steam game forums and no one seemed that interested as there was no reply to my thread, I am glad to see I am not the only one that would like to see shipyard parts from GCII TOA ported over to GCIII. This would create an opportunity to create ships styles we couldn't get done in GCII. I say HELL YEAH!!!

Star Trek style NX Class.

Here is another version of an ST Galaxy class I did. [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMajik/2014-06-09_00026_zps69724f35.jpg~original[/IMG] Steering away from Star Trek style ships here is is one off the top of my head. Think of US Navy meets BSG meets Babylon 5. Naval Aviation being one of my hobbies I wanted to make a ship that had resemblance to a modern US Navy Aircraft Carrier [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMa

To keep this idea in the scope of reality then all Dev's need to do is limit the scope of a Mech hull to TINY size. Yet, allow player to research weapons and countermeasures options for Mech suits, There is really no need for HUGE mechs for combat. This fits into the reality because as of right now mechanical combat suits are being developed and tested for soldiers.

HOLY SH%T!!! The new shipyard UI looks AWESOME!!!! I cannot wait to get a chance to use it! Holy MOLY! I love it!!!! I have done pretty well with the GCIII Alpha Shipyard given what we had to test with but the newer interface just look SO damn good and pretty easy to use as it was for GC 2. I am gonna go crazy making the ships I really wanted for GCII! I cannot wait to test it out! WELL DONE!!!

As a long time RTS gamer the idea of Mech combat on the space base or planetary level in not that far fetched. I do like the idea. I think this could be achieved with a Mech building factory that works the same as the shipyards. It would need some RTS aspects and can still be turn based. How about Planetary Base building with a Mech factory that can be researched and implemented for ground base combat

I think I finally got a decent looking Star Trek style Sovereign Class Star Ship. It looks pretty good on the game map too. This took three days to get right. Comments welcome.
