Oh definitely. At least for the big races I care about. IE Terrans, Ukaros, Zrenrakka, Aquilarans, Tothk, and Fulgar

[quote who="General Pants" reply="628" id="3667091"] Hrm? I certainly don't consider the Zrenrakka a minor... shouldn't be any mention of them in my minor races, if that is what you meant? Do you mean the Zrentak? I am confuzzled... Do they use a different name in the game? [/quote] Sorry their species name is "Zrenrakka" but their various empires are the Colonies of Zrentak. Zrentak being their ancient homeworld. [quote who

Reply to My list of grievances I have with GalCiv 3 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hey... I tried reading through everything... but maybe I missed it... has no one pointed out that you CAN upgrade all ships of one class to another through the govern/orders screens? Not ideal since you likely only want to upgrade ships in a certain fleet/etc. but it does help. Personally I think upgrading is handled badly... upgrading should only be possible in a certain area around a shipyard, and be much cheaper. I'm a big fan of how Stellaris handles it honestly.

Reply to Just to clear it once and for all - no hull modding? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Or how about a component that provides - capacity.... IE grants space on the ship. Then it can be tech locked. Just a thought. I was able to create additional hulls, which was fun, but it caused issues where the ships you'd design would transform to the default hull types as soon as you saved and reloaded. Absolutely useless as a result.

True. I mean... There's a reason virtually all my ship designs rely on turrets. But I was thinking purely that the current combat model is sadly underdeveloped and not engrossing.

New Civ Editor : Nuanced Issues/Questions in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

As someone with a lot invested in GC3 and the ship editor as a creative outlet, I'm wondering if the Civ Editor will be robust enough to satisfy my needs. 1) Will you be able to set the portraits of new leaders/spies/etc. Will these default to the default 'base' race portrait? Will they be based off the leaders of the base race you use? IE, you start with Terrans, modify them into the "Auslandic Consortium" and now all your leaders are John Johnson and such? 2) It

Reply to Broadside Weapon Layouts in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

While I know SD is deeply against adding tactical battle control, weapon facing, if combined with the role system and ship behaviors would be a great way to enhance the battle system, however, it visually still would be a bit clunky because you have such maximum freedom of design with the ship editor. Basically, you'd have to design ships as you do currently, but the Role you picked for the ship would dictate where the weapon shots actually come from/arcs and when they fire/etc. a

Reply to Will Crusade allow the player to build fleets using Mods - like Gauntlet's Mod or Horemvore's Star Trek mod? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Just so you know, GRM will be remodeled for Crusade to either utilize the editor and be on steam or continue to be a mod. But either way I will find a way to maintain it. I doubt Crusade would make it impossible for me to keep it as a mod.

Custom Component Menu Limitation? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It would appear, that eventually, you can fill the component list with enough custom components, that as you scroll down, eventually the list stops displaying pieces and shows blackness... making certain parts at the bottom of the list, un-selectable without changing how you organize the pieces. Anyone else notice this...?

Reply to [MOD] Gauntlet's Race Mod (UPDATED R-1.7 for Retribution 4.21!) in GalCiv III Custom Races GalCiv3 Forums

Well based on my download rates, I think the audience that is active for GRM is about 250 to 300 people. Pretty sure I could have a lot more than that through Steam... but we need SD to support mods there, which I don't think they will do. So yeah... we will see... I'm on the fence.

Reply to CRUSADE DIARY 2: The Civilization Builder in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Well this is all a step in the right direction. Customized diplomacy responses was a nice touch... wouldn't have been my priority, but it does help with immersion. What I'm worried about, is what happens if I upload a race that relies on a custom color palette or custom home system... the palette is pretty limited as of now... granted looks like your adding more, but still... I'd recommend adding a color palette editor first and foremost, then give us like 20 more

Reply to Mercenaries upgraded in Crusade ? in Galactic Civilizations Series GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="treborblue" reply="15" id="3666761"] Hopefully crusades will fix that long running bug where you don't get weapon animations with custom ships in the battle viewer. Then I will be able to use Gauntlets creations in all there glory. [/quote] Just so you know, that only applies the AI designed ships. Custom ships you design have weapon effects as normal.

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="11" id="3666700"] But does Gauntlet have the ship that converts a single Class zero to an awesome class 16? [/quote] GRM should be replacing all original MERCS and does not change their abilities. Changes were made to ship components to make them a little more standardized and to match player play styles (more engines duh) and also changed roles to Capital/support since the role system is essentially broken. So yeah,

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: Ship Designer in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Hey there! I have a few questions/thoughts. 1) While I greatly appreciate that there are fixes and additions that could be made to the ship designer, I will disagree with many here, in that I think it is and should be, a low priority. Games like Spore for example, focused too much on their creative generator and not enough on gameplay... I've spent just shy of 1500 hours in GC3 and I've never finished a game properly, and I doubt even 100 hours

Reply to [MOD] Gauntlet's Race Mod (UPDATED R-1.7 for Retribution 4.21!) in GalCiv III Custom Races GalCiv3 Forums

Hey thanks for the heads up on those bugs. I'll look at it... but it might not matter once Crusade is out, as I may have to stop supporting GRM-A when it does depending on how the civ creator works. As for the Daleks... well you'll have new turrets and various components to play with if nothing else. Those wired generator pods you see there for example. I also may use the Daleks as a funny minor race primarily.

Reply to Custom ship factory: how to centre it on its hex? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

You use a very, very small part, place it above or below your design. That recenters the design on the vertical axis. You might want to check out my shipyard designs in GRM for a reference. It will take trial and error to get the placement right, but it does work.

Love these... especially the Large... agree though, that the tiny doesn't quite work... maybe make it a more traditional fighter? Or are your ships never that "scale" and that tiny is like a destroyer?

Reply to [WIP] Faction Pack in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Well this is quite the collection! Its a little hard to judge fairly from 2d images alone, and from the top down view for me (I'm always rotating things lol). But I definitely like the Vic Vipers, the Psylax, Caimanoid, and Mirrion. I think all of these do a very good job of mixing "organic" parts with the inorganic. The triangle ship images are simply not visible for me to judge. The dreadlord-y race would be best in my opinion by dropping t

New Scaling Bug in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hey there, I use the ship editor... a lot. Since 1.9 and the 2.0 Opt in, scaling behaviors have changed. 1) Make a custom starbase, the starbase model is using an absolute scale and goes off the hex significantly. 2) Attach a part or custom part to a custom part, and scale down the original custom part, it won't always scale the subsequently attached parts as before. Doesn't seem to affect parts made before the updates though, so it might
