The Drath old ship-style is available through one of the DLC packs. There are also a few examples of this race that other players have created up on Steam. So what's left, just the special abilities, right? I think a fairly easy to mod/implement special ability would be privateers. The mechanic is already in the game for Commander upgrades. What if the Drath had the ability to change any ship to a privateer ship? That fits into their sha

Cool, thanks for the responses. I also literally just won a conquest victory while having a commonwealth. So it's definitely just an issue with the victory display screen. Btw, so far enjoying the new updated game!

I have a question regarding the new commonwealth system. When I create a commonwealth, the conquest victory condition now adds that new "race" as another number (of races) to be defeated in order to achieve conquest victory. If that is not a bug, then why would I ever want to create a commonwealth if I have to just go back and reconquer my old planets? Maybe I'm missing something but as soon as I saw this in-game I stopped so that I could ask...

Some great changes in there! Looking forward to the release...

[quote who="BuckStrider" reply="1" id="3687496"] You forgot to mention in your tutorial that you'll most likely encounter the annoying bug of "just seeing kinetic weapon effects" in the battle screen when using customized racial ships. [/quote] When I reported this bug some time ago, the Stardock tech support indicated that it was something with my cpu, drivers, etc. I was convinced that this bug was just happening to me, and since Stardock wouldn't be addressing it, I

[quote who="leiavoia" reply="13" id="3680116"] On Minor Factions: One thing you might try is to set the game to have zero minor factions, but then put in a few random empires with the AI level configured for cakewalk. That way you get a full-fledged AI but it is purposefully gimped. They are invasion fodder for larger empires. [/quote] That is an interesting solution to the minor faction issue. If there was a way to turn off these n

Same issue here. Large galaxy, started w/ 12 opponents. Around turn 200, the "waiting turn" lag has gotten to around 45 seconds.

[quote who="lycan371" reply="8" id="3679698"] Hi, I've always placed all of my legions on the same tile - or split them between two if there's an extra city - and haven't had any problems at all. Cheers, Jon [/quote] Thanks! I had no idea that you could place them all on the same tile. That is very helpful!

I have also been having this issue. Any solutions yet?

I've used the Anvil in every game that I've played. I definitely think that it is an exploit, and I now just buy it to "block" the AI from doing the "blitz" tactic. I personally think the Anvil should be moved to a higher tier in the Merc screen or have a substantially higher cost. I haven't said anything about the issue though because there are several other more higher-priority issues for me regarding bugs, etc.

"Wait" error - I am also getting the "wait" error where the game just hangs with the "wait" button grayed out. This error has occurred on each of my games, shutting down and reloading doesn't help, and it is at the point now where I won't even try to play the game again until it is patched. The game is very enjoyable, and it would be great if I could progress through a full playthrough!

Does this mean custom ship styles can be assigned (finally)?

I'm actually quite excited about what I'm seeing Stellaris do (based on the dev and let's play vids) with the 4x space genre. I see myself putting in lots of hours playing it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it impacts other 4x games in the future, including GCIII.

[quote quoting="post"] A Ship Set Creation Tool [/quote] Yes, please!

[quote who="JTS80" reply="2" id="3621809"] Or do you mean a creator for "custom ship styles" where all the Federation, Klingon, Star Wars etc. ships created can easily be assigned in-game as a new ship style? I would highly second that request. I think this, together with really custom ship colors, is something that the game needs. [/quote] Yes, this! Was hoping to hear Stardock's thoughts on this... Gauntlet, I would argue that something like this would

I bought the game, most dlc, and now the expansion. I cannot fathom why players don't have an easy ship style set creator. I see the instructions on how to do this for modders. However, I have zero skills in that area. If this was easy, I imagine we would see lots of ship style sets rather than the thousands of individual ships or collections in the Steam Workshop. Really, Stardock, I just want to know if this is something that you are working on.&n

Ok, thanks for the info! Hopefully we've get an easy way to do this at some point....

I recently came back to GCIII with the expansion, and I was wondering if this issue has been resolved yet. I love that there are so many neat ships in the Steam Workshop. What I'd like to know is where do I find completed ship style sets. I don't see this option in the Workshop, and I don't see links to completed sets in the forums. Is there still no list of ship style sets (besides Gauntlet's awesome mod)?

Ok thanks, I'll check those out!

Ok, thanks for the info! Bummer to hear that this issue still hasn't been resolved with Steam though.

Been away for a bit, hoping some of the kinks would get worked out. With 1.2, is there a way to download new (modded) ship sets? I see on the Steam Workshop that users can download individual ships, but what about a complete ship set? If not, any timeline for when this will be implemented? Thanks.

Same issue here.

It seems like it should save as an xml file, I wonder why it doesn't?!

I'm sure that there is an easy way to do this, but I can't figure it out. Once a custom faction has been created, how can I go in and edit the file? I see a .Faction file but can't seem to find the xml files. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't really need or care for tactical battles. I just would like the current system to make sense. With range and speed being featured aspects of a ship and weapon type, it is illogical for combat ships to not fully utilize their range/speed advantage. As others have mentioned above, perhaps range should be taken out until it is fully fleshed out by the developers. Combat speed (ie thrusters) could just add to the evasion factor/roll. &nb
