[quote who="ProudCanadian" reply="4" id="3685123"] Will the fix only work if a new game is created? [/quote] Yes any patches (xml changes) only take effect in new games because save files have the xml data they were started with. the fix should work with carriers you design
[quote]Added new ship weapon components that don't require special resources (But cost a lot more). [/quote] cool but you really need to rework blue prints, ship class defs, and text. just start as Terrans, do an 'unlock' and look at ships in designer. e.g Dreadnought using missiles? -r,-p,-l,-d ships are not consistent in use of enhancements; ship names are screwy (e.g look at ranger class).; new weapons not implemented consistently across weapon types (diff nu
just wanted to say thanks for this
ID thanks for answering
[quote who="thedreamon" reply="14" id="3684613"] To use its buff do ships must be inside of the zone of control? [/quote] yes. also to see the speed boost you ships must start in the zone
[quote who="ProudCanadian" reply="5" id="3684594"] I think its related to the default role that a ship is assigned in the designer. Seems based on the components you put on the ship model. Maybe hardcoding the role isn't easy for them to code? Just a guess. [/quote] You are correct it is based on the components (and other.. hull size). It is hard coded that way based on value, defense and threat. I believe it is well documented in the wiki
[quote who="ProudCanadian" reply="10" id="3684570"] Trade them to another civ for cash! [/quote] yup, i do that too but its still a pain
I agree with many of the points (grips) and the game still has many bugs. However i think it is only fair to point out SD has released many free patches and is likely to continue to do so. I don't know of another game co. that is so responsive, but the number of issues, both trivial and major, is disappointing .... for me its a love hate relationship.

[quote who="Stalker0" reply="4" id="3684558"] At the end of the day, I wonder if this added complexity truly adds to the experience of the game. As you pointed out, the engine sizes really don't start making an impact until the very large hulls. At that point, we could just give large hulls a -1 speed and call it a day. The largest hulls have a bias for defenses over attack, again could we just give them a 1 defense all and call it a day. Could we just lower the amo
The thing I hate about surrenders is having to deal with dozens of small and tiny ships turned over to me. Takes forever to either park or decommission them
OK did more testing to fix change the following in MasterTechDefs.xml under MasterPlanetarySpecialization1 FoodIncome ..... the fix Global Colony
looking to start new insane map but if the next patch is soon will wait [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
[quote who="GrimmAG" reply="9" id="3684501"] I've gotten them [/quote] with what factions?
Ok, 1) the edited file MUST go in a mod directory for crusade e.g. C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade\Mods\'name'\Game\MasterTechDefs.xml 2) edit the MasterTechDefs.xml file and save it as above find the MasterPlanetarySpecialization1 section and make this change Food Global  
in MasterTechDefs.xml MasterPlanetarySpecialization1 > target type, change to Faction . and while i was at it i thought 1 food was skimpy so i uped it
[quote who="tetleytea" reply="6" id="3684229"] I'm trying a new trick now where I slap a long-range missile on my second survey ship, cargo hull. It's still a survey ship and still can't survey defended anomalies alone (nor do I want it to), but it has an added function, as a fast raider of defenseless stuff. I name it the Gremlin. [/quote] I do almost the same but give it enough shields to get the defended anomalies. Early (when shields are weak) i
I had MANY crashes and lock ups prior to the latest patch, seems very stable now. There are good trouble shooting tips in this link, it also tell you how to submit a ticket. Generally SD is very responsive to submitted tickets https://esupport.stardock.com/index.php?/default_import/Knowledgebase/Article/View/496/161
If your Setam: go to Library>gc3>properties>dlc tab and uncheck crusade
it is intentional. Frogboy thoughts were that it would be too easy to 'game' the system if got back an admin point. I did not like it at first but have gotten used to it. You can basically get as many admin points as you want through techs, citizens, and proper promotion
[quote who="The_Last_Jedi" reply="2" id="3683948"] Unless they changed the definition of what can be an assault ship in Crusade you can no longer have assault fighters as they are all tiny hulls now. [/quote] Just checked vanilla and they were all tiny there also, but the load out is different
[quote who="Taslios" reply="14" id="3683951"] Anyone know population's effect on Tourism and or Wealth Generation? [/quote] Pop effects wealth the same as it does research and construction, do not know about tourism
Yes i get the picture and like your story lines. But what i was trying to say (and not very well) was about diplomatic relations with other factions. e.g Unification:- you might get a diplo + from factions that are at war with the civ(s) who's planets you you took but a negative from that civ. and Command Economics might not have any impact on other faction diplo relations with you. Just thinking of other ways to mix things up [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] &nb
could you post a link to the file
nice job
[quote who="ProudCanadian" reply="9" id="3683865"] Quoting a0152570, reply 4 There is a mod in the forums that changes the exponent on pop from .5 to .75 which gives a big bump to production I like to play the stock game with no mods right now, but thanks for the heads-up! I'm hoping Stardock
