lemme choose the galactic starting age. with all techs from the previous age researched.

So the race creation is basic, you chose a basic colour pallet, a basic ship flavour, and it's kind of meh. You can make your own race proper with XML editing, but for the average person it's not worth it. Why not make an in game creator that allows you to fine tune the colour schemes, AND specify ships (which can be mounted with special scaleable weapon and module slots) To generate their own line of ships in the style of your designs. For example you can speci

You can massively reduce the logistic cost of ships in a fleet with the hyperion logistic system

I have an issue with tiny ships. Into late game they seem redundant, and are only good because of the free ones at the start of every battle with the carrier module you recieve. However you cannot customize the fighter that is launched, or the weapons equipped. I want to see fighters of my own design, which will actualy launch from my carrier when the battle begins. Whether this means assigning a tiny ship design from my list or manually docking fighters with the

The data folder has an xml titled Formations. Which sounds promissing.

For custom races I'm guessing you can use a static image of your leader, so you need an image, and editing software to give it the correct dimensions.

I am playing as the same race. I looked in designs and only two of my ships are there. I haven't unlocked huge hulls again yet so I don't see them. It seems as if my fighter designs have just dissapeared :( I have a bunch of png objgfxcfg and ship files backed up in a folder on my desktop but I have no idea what to do with them.

I backed them up too so it's not as if they're gone, I just can't load them into GC3 anymore

I made all of my ships on a campaign game, how do I save them for the future?

Created two more ships for the fleet, One is an escort carrier, and the other is a giant shield ship, designed to soak up damage. <img src="https://owktxq.bl3302.livefilestore.com/y2pNMzuAuPYLj1FqYvLd_zWHHXnQJCJC68HF230uxyElc8rG_uxuVSDECwDiIFQkh

Haha, a little bit, I love macross verifighter designs. It's not really a faithful copy of any though.

There's no end to the awesome stuff on this thread, keep creating! I finally made some fighters to go with my beam ships One is a missile spammy sort of ship and the other is mounted with a distruptor cannon, lemme know what you think. <img src="https://owktxq.bl3302.livefilestore.com/y2pAx7vphDC1B8VUpYpUy_pGMtDeJnhLEfP9MPUdd431wOPf8stjcR5X-onpilWQM5MbruBrY2ZMmo-GnbhZZZT5g61WINRBOTu5w5xelezz0_B4N2dnKiuBRlA20kgAZH5/2014-12-06_00008.jpg?

mmeh, I feel like I could make better fighters with some smoother and simpler shapes, but most small components are quite intricate. It'd be awesome if you could animate ships with keyframes, and determin when and why they play, like for firing you could have a recoiling cannon barrel, for turning you could have thrusters that fire, engines that tilt and move. Because then I really could make macross rip-off verifighters

Thanks. I struggle with tiny ships though, In Gal Civ 2 I made some pretty neat Macross rip-off fighters, but I just haven't been able to make a nice looking one in GC3.

Don't look at me. My founder star name was Syracuse

That's nuts! xD Brilliant

I'd love to see how they animate in a youtube clip

Any.. original factions?

[quote who="Nastytang" reply="589" id="3507153"] Quoting Edladner, reply 585 AdmiralPrice I love those ships, any way to obtain a copy? Ditto!!..........

There's some really good ships on here, I especially like the colony ships. I'm not expecting to place in the competition, (though a thousand pounds would be really nice to help me get my life together) But here are my entries Beam corvette, cruiser and battleship resepctively (i've since updated the design a little more and added even more beams) <img src="https://owktxq.bl3302.livefilestore.com/y2p7CXK3XG2_f4EvDJYX-VJ6Ne93nmboctU68tY13oNJc-xv-YG83_wVMAbuTs84Y0rS4
