[quote who="Gilmoy" reply="1" id="3520235"] So right now, it gives you +0.05 logistics per fleet? That's enough for, like, a dashcam GoPro ...

At the moment building the Hyperion Logistics System does not raise your logistics cap (the maximum number of logistics points for a fleet). To correct it, the following xml (found in the ImprovementDefs.xml file): HyperionLogisticsSystem ... LogisticsCap Global <br /

The Hyperion Logistics System is supposed to decrease the logistics cost for every newly build ship by 1 point. But the logistics cost of those ships are not lower than the ships build before the Hyperion Logistics System was build. The Hyperion Supply System is supposed to give newly build ships an additional range of 10%, and it does not. I could not find a solution in the xml (and i tried a lot of combinations), therefor i have got a feeling that the entire OnCons

Lucky Jack, Expect your usage to climb significantly. My current game: Fullscreen 1920x1080; Immense Galaxy - fully explored; All races are in - playing as the Terrans; Near the end of the game - turn 191; Ships in game 633 (of which 281 are mine); Starbases in game 287 (261 mine); <

While there are a lot of (hot)keys not yet in the game, this post is not about that. The "Done" button/action in the shipyard is not bound to the "Done" key. The default binding in the Options->Input for the "Done" key is "Enter". The "NextNotification" key (default the "Tab" key) also invokes the next turn. While it should take you to all outstanding actions, but not end your turn. To go through all the outstanding actions and th

Gauntlet03, Very nice, especially the gun boat and the destroyer. And your small defense station is cute. [quote who="Gauntlet03" reply="796" id="3519958"] Nice ship the CW!

A lot of sensors have the wrong mass class. The resulting effect is that specialized scout / survey ships have an incorrect sensor range, because they now depend on the life support mass reducing techs. If you have researched all life support and sensor mass reducing techs, then there is no difference because they both have 3 techs that reduce the mass by 20%. But at the moment the sensor mass reducing techs are quite useless. The following sensors have "Life Support Mass" ins

[quote who="a0152570" reply="7" id="3518763"] Is this a modder only thing or will "save as template" update the *.xml's based on the assigned role? [/quote] Consider it a modder thing. The "save as template" will not touch any .xml files. And in the current version you can no longer specify an assigned role. The game will assign the role depending on the actual active components on the ship. So if you don't want to mod, you can still use the templates

While the above about using the template to create functional ship designs is true, there is another reason for template creation. The real need for the templates is that (custom) ship classes use them to allow the auto ship designer to generate the various versions of that ship. So there is a Terran_Scout template (in "steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\Designs") which in combination with the TerranScout class (as defined in ShipClassDefs.xml) and the ScoutBlueprin

Change in version .70 (Beta 4). Roles (except Assault and Support) should no longer be specified in ShipBlueprintsDefs.xml. Specifying any role other than "Assault" or "Support" will result in multiple ship-design-versions being created. So for the earlier mentioned example, that should now read as: TerranVoyeurBlueprint

The sounds are stored in a Miles Sound System Compressed file (\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\Sfx\GC3_SFX_Bank.msscmp).

While this motherboard supports flex memory access just replacing the 1 GB DIMM in slot 1 with the 4GB might work, but then you are going to mix single
