Ok, I tried but maybe (mmm, to be honest it's more "surely" than "maybe") I'm doing something wrong: the wiki says I need to use the internal name of a tech to unlock it (so, for example, if I play as Terran I should unlock the Harpoon tech by typing unlock TerranHarpoonTech), but everytime I try the game gives an error saying that the tech is not in my tech tree.

And typing just unlock to activate everything make my game crash.

Ok guys, here comes version 4.0 of my mod (downloadable here).

This version adds over 50 new ship designs, mainly in the Starbase Hull, as well as several redesigns.

As usual, if you notice issues or bugs, please report them here.

When I did this for a set... I went with rising... it ultimately looked more naturally since the animation repeats indefinitely. Tilting will always make me think of a wheel turning and it just doesn't sit well for me.

Though, perhaps you can combine both in an interesting way.

Good luck. Looking forward to it.

Work is done and now update 5.5 for my mod is up and running (as usual, get it here)!

The highlights of this version are:

- a new shipset, the Zendorak set

- a large update for the Denorian set

Also a little note: I just got my hands on Retribution and Villains of Star Control DLC (man, those Scryve parts look soooo good! - btw, it's me or their shipset template file is messed up? I have the Large hull ships listed in Medium ), so I think I'm going to spend the next months tinkering with hypergates and such - don't expect anything up soon, ok?.

Merry Christmas folks! I hope you'll have fun today. I just passed by to release a new version of my mod, update 5.7 .

It's just a small update, focused on 2 fields:

- a reorganization of the Shipset Template files (now compatible with "Retribution" expansion)

- an overhaul of the Earth Confederation Space Navy set, with updated custom parts and various corrections and redesigns to several models

Guys I need a little help. While working on the template files for the new shipset, the game goes error during loading, giving me this message:

C:/Users/User/Documents/My Games/GC3Crusade/Mods/Ship Design Expansion Pack/Game/ShipClassDefs_Newset.xml(0,0): error:
String collision! String 'ProtoTypeAkroDreadnought_Name' and 'AIDefenseNewsetFury_Dec' produce the same hash. One of these strings must be changed to avoid collision.

It seems that the new ShipClassDef file have some problems with one of my old ones but I don't understand what are these problems (I also tryed to change the Fury_dec value but the problem remains). Any idea on what exactly is the problem and how to solve it?

Hey there. I don't post much for this game right now, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your continued engagement.

Your doing some great work

Sir

 

The rumors we collected about a major technological breakthrough made by the Tarkosians turned out to be true; we discovered that they have built a giant megastructure inside an asteroid near their colony in the |REDACTED| System, something they called "Hypergate" (see attached image).

According to the press conference held by their government, this structure will allow Tarkosian ships to travel faster than using standard Hyperdrive engines. Some of my operatives managed to board a Tarkosian cruise ship which was the first one to use the structure and they confirmed that they travelled to the |REDACTED| System (a journey that usually takes a week) in just 5 hours.

Considering the possibilities of such technology, I strongly recommend to start as soon as possible an operation to collect data and informations about it and even to consider the possibility to kidnap some Tarkosian scientists for interrogation.

So, here comes my first Hypergate. Strangely, even if I used a standard one as model for the size, mine turned out to be smaller.

Hi folks. A new version of my mod, update 8.0, is now available.

This version's highlights are:

- an overhaul for the Denorian set

- more than 20 new models for other sets

As Stardock has announced Galactic Civilization 4 (and development is well under way), is with a mix of happyness and sadness that I announce the release of Update 10.0.

This will be the final version of my mod (meaning that, from now on, there won't be new content released, maybe only bug fixes according to your notification).

The highlights of this version are:

- an overhaul of the Karivor Matrix set, with modifications on old models (now more in line with the original idea I had) and new designs;

- a collection of various decorative custom parts (turrets, command bridges, etc.) you can use to decorate your own ships. This collection contains mostly parts I've used in my set, but there are also some unreleased parts I was keeping in storage for future projects.

It was fun to create this mod and I really hope you had fun playing with it. See you in GalCiv4!
