[quote who="DraconicSpeaker" reply="6" id="3696998"] Gotta agree right there. They said they're gonna add arena options however, so I hope one of them is the original arena. They've changed up the way ship movement works and now I can strafe using space gravity and shoot ships again. so that's cool [/quote] Gravity strafing is one of my favorite moves with the Scryve Battlecruiser. :)

[quote who="Zenchess2" reply="3" id="3696973"] I couldn't tell if you could do this from the games but I suggest the ability for The Phamysht's opponents to be able to pick up their own crew back up if they manage to fly over them. The Phamysht already has the advantage because the crew floats towards its ship, so it would be nice if there was at least a chance to recover your crew. [/quote] That's how they should be working now.
Hello! As a special post-Thanksgiving treat, we are releasing a new ship from the Phamysht! They would consider it rude if you didn't allow them to eat you. We have also done a game balance tune up and fixed bugs. Read below for details. Summary Phamysht (new ship) It would be very rude not to let them eat you. They have the following attacks: Charbroiled - Single-fire shot that roasts enemy ships.
Hello, Based on feedback from our fans (you!), we've been working on an update.

Please read below for full details. To enable the patch, please do the following: Select Galactic Civilizations III in your Steam Library list Right-click and
Having a "Zero Player" option is on the roadmap albeit for internal testing/benchmarking reasons. Its something we may consider opening up to players as well as kinda a spectator mode.
[quote quoting="post"] Okay, I love the gameplay. It feels super smooth. Although something about the sounds is bothering me. They're either too quiet or just right. And 90% of the time, they're too quiet and so I gotta constantly glance to the right side of my screen to see if I even delt damage or the bullet was just outta range. It's weird. Although I'll give em credit for the ship creator. As it's about as freeform as you can possibly get with such a thing. Amazing work on that. Anot

[quote who="PalaceGuardian" reply="44" id="3694461"] Does this mean the AI will no longer be moving 30 tiles on Godlike with its Colony ships at the start of the game? I think it used to be about 15 but I started a couple games recently and thought this is ridiculous with their 30 move limit. Definitely made it harder. [/quote] Yes, that's what we've addressed (the doubling wasn't intentional)

Opt-in Updated 11/7 AI much better about prioritizing construction of transports if they have military dominance. Assassination event made more common Fixed issue where the AI move limit was being doubled multiplied.
[quote who="Kavik_Kang" reply="5" id="3694166"] This build doesn't like my computer, it is crashing a lot, so I haven't played it much yet. But I will keep trying to play it. I am loving this! But it's definitely not what the audience is expecting of Star Control. Not that there is any big problem, but just like in the original Space Wars the gravity well at the center needs to be an option, or the gravity nee
Thanks for the feedback everyone. We just posted a fairly large update including balance and gameplay changes. We'd love to get your thoughts on it.
[quote who="Kavik_Kang" reply="3" id="3694156"] Thinking about this more... since the fast player knows the map will shrink, and it will be harder for them to win once it does, simply the threat of the map shrinking will make them want to engage and destroy the enemy before the map begins to steadily shrink down into a boxing ring. You might wind up being to find a balance in this where the threat of the map shrinking solves the problem to the point that it rarely ever gets to that
