In the GalCiv3MapDefs.xml file: 0 Do NOT put a value above 9 here. At 6 and higher, planetary systems will overlap; At 9, stars might end up in adjacent tiles; At 10, sometimes multiple stars are created on the same tile, resulting in a crash. A value of 3 gives some nice results.

I can feel the thoughts (and murderous intent) of the ship designer's programmer from thousands of miles away: "what raving insane maniac builds a ship with hundreds of animations, and now i have to spend time making the game deal with it."

PSAAS-1 watched as the scientists and engineers around him were working. Some of them busy with their regular tasks, but quite a number of them were cleaning and organizing their workstations. PSAAS-1 wonder why they did that, those tasks were normally performed by interns and cleaning staff. A group of the leading scientists approached him, led by the Administrator. He did not like the Administrator, that one always talked about him as if he was not even there and when he looked at him never

[quote who="Edladner" reply="1" id="3509886"] the umbrella spyship, hope you get it working, I'd sure like to see that animated. [/quote] It is fully operational and animated. Best guess: there are more than 300 animations in the complete ship. Editing is hell, you have make lots of saves to fall back on, because you can not delete those parts. So every placement must be done perfectly. If you do place a component at the wrong hard point it is back to the last sa

When designing a ship with complex custom parts the designer crashes (reproducibly) to the desktop upon removal of one of such complex components. No crash files, or dump files will be made. The custom component must be quite complex, before this to happen. The screenshots of the ship complexity i am talking about. Each of the unfurling antennas is made up out of three (identical) complex components. <img style="vertical-align: baseline;" src="

[quote who="trumpeter87" reply="16" id="3508645"] Good call on the naming convention. I suspected it may have been because I was using an initial, hyphen, and number before the name, which isn't something I normally do, but that seemed to be about the only difference. And the ships named like that were not saved about half the time. [/quote] t

Update on the not saving problem: After an email exchange with Brad Ather (Stardock support) in which i supplied a game save file which contained an unsaveable design, they came to the conclusion that there was something (invisible) strange inside the name field; even while there was nothing weirdly done during the naming of the ship. The resolution (that works for me) so far is: During saving of the design, use the key to completel
