Weapon augmentation numbers in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Beta4. Prob already known but… Numbers are not consistent. E.g. laser range increase is 0.6; missile range increase is shown as 50% Does the laser 0.6 currently translate into a 60% increase ?

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="4" id="3518744"] here are a lot of bugs in the fight viewer. It was not ready for release. Stardock should get an F for this "beta" it's much closer to alpha.

I agree, in those terms GC3 fits closer to an alpha but the whole purpose is to generate feedback, ideas,

Reply to What does save as template do? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Thecw" reply="6" id="3518755"] 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 ScoutBlueprint (as defined in ShipBlueprintDefs.xml) allow the auto ship designer to create the various incarnatio

[quote who="ayork1" reply="3" id="3518737"] I think the designers want you use to use tiny ships as cannon fodder. If you had 10 tiny and a massive with kinetic guns it would tear things up.

[quote who="Taslios" reply="2" id="3518727"] Either way, some indication of what the ranges are would be nice... [/quote] Completely agree.

Thanks all for the info. I have been avoiding actual ship design as they are not likely to be compatible from release to release. I am just using game ships and changing component and if i saved it with template checked i couldn't find it again. Appreciate the explanations.

Return something when destroying a planetary building in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

In GC2 you got some production credit when changing out one building for another (e.g. Mfg bld->research bld). In GC3 you first destroy the old building then rebuild the desired one from scratch. I can understand why you did this and would not mind so much if you got something back when destroying it. If you don’t want to go back to the GC2 method, the simplest may be to provide cash for scrap recovered form buildings destruction. With t

Ships fire weapons in random directions beta 4 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

When my fleet attacks a starbase, sometimes my missiles and/or kinetic weapons are fired off in a random 360 degree direction as displayed in the battle viewer. They seem to register correctly as hit/miss on target despite being shown going away from it.

I know you know this .. but please move it up on your priority list. 1) The ship list (in shipyard/ designer) is really unmanageable, it has gotten so big and I can’t even figure out the logic of the order in which they are listed. Suggestions: Additional “sort” options in tabs or drop downs Fighters vs non fighters Sort/display by hull size Permanently remove ships from list so obsoletes do not return. Create a &

Any thoughts on adding rally points? Pioneers could really use this. On medium and larger maps it can be difficult (time consuming) to spawn a bunch of pioneers to fortify far away outposts.

Reply to Sorcerer King Dev Stream (January 21st) at 3pm EST, Noon Pacific in Sorcerer King News SorcererKing Forums

Consider adding capability to put user defined flags/text markers on the map? On and maps medium and up it gets very hard to remember and later find key items (like a frozen hero monument). it would be very helpful if we could place a user marker of some kind on/next-to it. Added user text would be great but even if they were just numbered flags that we could quickly return to, it would help a lot.

[quote who="Director" reply="67" id="3516866"] Darca, if the weapons and defenses for a starbase are not meant to ever be useful then I think the devs should take them out of the game.
