I think the biggest problem concerning a player's ability to mix max is that many of the abilities and bonuses in the game simply give you "something for nothing". Free colony ships, free constructor ships, free research, free population, free buildings... I must prefer and think it is much harder to break, abilities that offer you options, that still cost something, even if only TIME. For example, the Preparedness center and other such ideology buildings ar
Oh well... these are template names, you will find the AI/default ships all named very default things as it speeds up file creation and makes it dead simple to understand what the ship does. Such as "Beam P Destroyer" because the AI ship is the Beam P Large hull blueprint. I WAS thinking of adding unique ship class names in the Descriptions though! For example, my Terrans use Greek nomenclature "Athena class bomber" and such. The Kirani, are l
Stardock is one of the best companies I've ever had the privilege to buy from. Nobody is perfect, GalCiv3 isn't perfect and won't ever be, but it will get the love it deserves. I'll always remember Elemental's release, it was FUBAR, and the subsequent apology and free expansions I got for it. I don't need perfection I need a company courageous enough to stand by their mistakes and make things right, which SD has always done. And for the r
Dear Star Dock: Love you! Annnnd I have some questions relevant to modders about V1.1 1) Will templates files for ships start being stored in a seperate folder than our other ship designs? (I hereby request that, since we can't delete templates without going into the files), same deal for custom components too...? 2) Will ShipDef or FactionShipsetDef be changing at all? IE, are you adding new AI ship designs, or otherwise alter
Hey guys! A little update for you... So for one, I've run into a few kinks with that last ship set... because I actually sat down and played for like 6 hours! I noticed some clipping on some parts that seemingly only appears when zoomed out at a specific level, and someone pointed out that my starting cubes are not invisible on several of the cargo ships, so I have to reposition them so that they cover that up... Point is that means some re-work on the
Nope! Just through the group part feature, basically, construct your item as a ship, and then you can save it and use it as a part. None of those turrets are "functional". Watch my tutorials, they go over group parts! Thanks!
Hey there! Thanks a lot everyone! And guess what! More progress! The KR set is not complete. This one required "repairs" due to the old light bug, and as it was a older set (my 2nd), it wasn't up to par with the newer stuff, especially the fighters and turrets (can you believe I was manually building EVERY TURRET on these? YAY Grouped Parts!). Now I'll admit, this set doesn't have the same level of additional models that the Terrans had, but it does have a
Hey there, I'm sorry to hear you are having so much trouble, I've certainly found the group part system a little buggy, but I've never had something severe as a full game crash. Obviously it sounds like you've given up, but if not, I would suggest saving your custom part as a ship first, prior to trying to use the group command, that way you can try again if the first time fails. Also, I can tell you that you can click save and have it NOT work, but it
[quote who="Duken-FX" reply="1188" id="3557639"] Gauntlet03 make a Minbari inspired ship set pls, but no moving tentacls. it look great as it is and try to limit the animations on your designs on bigger maps..yeah it slows the game down im happy with no animations. And centauri inspired ships any one able to get something that is close? [/quote] Haha I'll think about doing some Minbari when I am just too tired to work o
Inspired by those of you who keep mentioning Babylon 5 (also one of my favorite shows ever)... Minbari, Sharlin War Cruiser has arrived... [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax27UKdHSJs&feature=youtu.be[/video] Could use a little more work, forgot the side fins, but overall I'm quite pleased with it. I might strip the fins off and replace them with moving tentacles and use this as the base for a unique ship set.
They do! The AI will use the ship designs and they will upgrade. I'm using all the default blue prints/ship list though, so don't expect optimized ship designs in terms of components.
Hey guys! Loving the designs as always, Mr. Star Trek never fails to impress, and I'm also happy to see someone taking a stab at the Minbari! I'm progressing on my ship sets, and I am finally done the Terrans! I'm particularly proud of the Transport, the Heavy Bomber, the Carrier with internal bays, and well... everything else?

If you check your options in the ship designer you can enable parts from all styles, no need to mod! My tutorials might help you, Gauntlets Tutorials for GalCiv 3: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVA5Lf10pstMfYckhKGNE2YjlAtbRaTD1
[quote who="Duken-FX" reply="1161" id="3556201"] Loved it! you are like some space version of Círdan Gauntlet03 [/quote] What! Not Telchar the dwarf?! Nerdiest compliment I've ever heard lol thank you! @ theshadowscythe3 I love these designs! Nice use of one of the new parts, I'll have to try hard not to copy how you used it lol!
I have to admit. I want that ship. First time I've really thought that about a star trek federation ship lol, but the color scheme really sells me on it! For my first fan request... ... well... Request Granted!! [video]https://youtu.be/FW5bOF9u0mQ[/video]
