I would like to request if anyone is willing make them, the first 2 are Star Wars designs and the third is a Mass Effect design. I'll probably pass the Star Wars schematics on to Omnibus since he's the head honcho of all Star Wars designs, but it wouldn't hurt to share them with you guys either. I was going to also request an X-wing but don't have to request the X-wing since it's probably already been done by Omnibus. First is a schematic of the V-wing, a sin

[quote quoting="post"] UPDATE: Opt-in released 5/27 Galactic Civilizations III v1.02 is now available on an opt-in basis. This patch adjusts the balance, improves AI priorities, fixes bugs, updates the UI, and speeds up performance. Features When playing with a custom faction in multiplayer it will now send your custom leader foreground and background <p style="padding

[quote who="TurielD" reply="1153" id="3555937"] Oof, this was a harder one than I'd expected. Had a lot of trouble getting a smooth triangular surface for the saucer section. Nevertheless, it turned out alright: Template link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45479330/GalCiv3%20ship%20templates/GalCiv3%20Federation%20Cerberus.rar <b

[quote who="TurielD" reply="1140" id="3555547"] I've been thinking the same, lot of people are having a hard time with it it seems. [/quote] Yea, I'll get to work on it as soon as I'm done with my Lavendarian fleet ship set. Also you seem to be the Go2Guy for accurate Star Trek replicas, any chance you could make the Cerberus Class? It's my favorite Star Trek ship, a cousin to the Prometheus Class warship. Link her

[quote who="TheBirthdayParty" reply="1138" id="3555433"] I know all this. I've tried grouping them when they've been placed on other ship parts. I was using a blank schematic to illustrate the problem. Also if you notice they are not mirrored via the mirroring button. They are two separate parts . If you think I'm incorrect and are willing please do try and see if you can do it and then tell me how. : ) <div class="meats"

[quote who="TheBirthdayParty" reply="1136" id="3555377"] I've been unable to group two parts into one saved part. Or just grouping them together. I made a video of what I am doing. Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Or is it a bug? [/quote] It's pretty obvious, both of your parts have been connected to the center cube instead of each other. Because of this, both of those half-circles are separate parts and are in no way connected to each

I've been looking at the tech tree but still have trouble figuring our what unique bonuses and buildings each tech tree provide. This makes it harder to choose a tech tree for a custom faction and I would like to know what the average end game stacked bonuses come with each tech tree. There isn't a real in-depth explanation of what a tech tree's con and pro's are over another tech tree in comparison. I've recently checked the official wiki: <a href="http://galciv3.gamepedi

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="76" id="3552759"] If you are using external game assets then you are playing a mod, not just using a custom faction. The other player doesn't have your local assets (your pictures in this case, though it could be custom music in the diplomacy screen, custom race traits, a new tech tree, etc). Our plan is to use Steam workshop to share files for that functionality, which we are currently working on but won't be in this patch. [/quote]

[quote who="TheShadowscythe3" reply="1099" id="3552153"] Heh, I saw these designs go up in the Civ/4x thread on 4chan a few days ago - they look pretty damn awesome old chappe.

I'm still happy to h

[quote who="Gauntlet03" reply="1089" id="3551333"] Hey thanks! I'm afraid your carrier idea is likely impossible, there are no pausing commands for animations, and generally they all act simultaneously on the part. You could get one to run off and up a straight runway, but it would then reverse backwards back into place... The closest I ever did with this sort of idea was housing fighters in a carrier, and having doors to reveal them, its in this set, I think ar

[quote who="Gauntlet03" reply="1086" id="3550975"] Hey there! Another day another ship set! I think this is the last basic set for a while, and now its time to go back, play through some games and flesh out all of these with variants and such! This one was fun with using the big weird resource orb as a power source for the main cannons! [/quote] Great work Gauntlet03, really inspiring me to push it

@Plasma_Wolf_4X Mostly Iconian parts with Terran/Drengi/Yor used for wings.

Please TheSoloDriver show us your secret to making those sexy mecha heads, they remind me of sexy Armored Core heads!!!

Hello, Stardock I have a followup question to a question I've asked in last week's stream reagrding custom faction leader portraits: I've successfully uploaded a custom portrait and leader foreground .Bmp image file from my computer for my custom faction's leader to represent an alien race I designed. I'm able to see it in single player and multiplayer, however in multiplayer games my buddies

Hello Stardock, [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I'm happy with the update but I have three questions concerning the newest update on created/custom race/faction content: 1. Currently with custom races we can't select an an option to use an imported custom portrait of our alien leader or a custom em

2 questions for the Dev stream: 1. In GalCiv 3's Intro Cinematic, the planet Earth is a Shield World protected from Dregi invasion by a gigantic energy barrier. Is this represented in game? Is it a tech or wonder we can research in multiplayer that offers our home world a huge boost to planetary defence from in

I have couple questions based on custom race portraits in multiplayer. If we want to import custom made custom faction portraits for our alien leaders what pixel resolution do they have to be, what extension file (.gif, .png, .jpg, ect...) and also would other players be able to see our imported custom race portraits in multiplayer? I would love to show off

A couple of significant questions for the stream: 1. Currently despite the size of ships, all fired projectiles/beams are the same size. Will there be a tweaking of the firing of weapons in the future in respect to ship size? It does not make sense that currently a Tiny ship and a Large Ship firing the same huge caliber shell (imagine the recoil effect on the small ship) or have the same beam thickness. (the larger ship would have more reserve power.)

I have one new question that I was saving for when Custom Races are implemented but I guess I'll ask it now: In online multiplayer in the future or post release will we be able to show off our custom races by playing with our friends in the multiplayer 4 player game as well as show off our custom ships designs to them in war with the battle viewer by fighting their fleets?

1. In Gal Civ 2 the Arcean Empire was my favorite race choice, I know they won't be making it in the base game but is there a chance that the Arcean Empire will return as DLC or with an Expansion? 2. Is there a possibility in the future that we could have a choose beam color/missile exhaust color option, I think this would help later when seeing beams in the battle viewer to tell which ones are being fired by your ships and which missiles as well in the more high logistics value b

We already have a Ship Designs thread, so why not also have an epic spatial battle thread? I noticed people were already posting screenshots of their custom designed ships doing battle on the Steam community forums so why not here as well? Let's post some screenshots of the epic moments our fleets do battle in. Or if you really want to please watchers like Stardock today with their Dev stream featuring epic battles, make a Youtube video featuring a battle or two with the current b
