I think just to round off Star Trek ships, build one Romulan Warbird class and one Cardasian Galor Class Cruiser. After that probably whatever comes to mind as I get inspired. You know we never would have been able to build ships this good in GalCiv2. The shipyard is so well rounded its just going to get better and better with the updates. I predict GalCiv III will be Game of the Year 2015-2016 because of people like us testing it. It just keeps getting better.

[quote who="Edladner" reply="96" id="3474655"] thanks Rand Johnson, just having fun till there is no worry of losing your ships on the next patch.[/quote] I'm not worried either. The good thing is we might get more ship parts to work with in the next update, I do know they are adding a feature that lets players make their own ship parts and save them. I am off to build a Klingon Bird of Prey.... [e digicons]}:)[/e]

[quote who="lowell4" reply="18" id="3474627"] I noticed an update yesterday. After it was done, I checked and it had turned off the Alpha testing in the beta test tab area. I paid a hundred bucks...I sure hope I get the new Alpha and Beta loads. Inside Steam options, the Alpha test link is missing.[/quote] I better check and see if mine are turned on...

XWerewolfX as everyone has tried to tell you WE DON'T KNOW when it will be released. How about this.... the next Alpha patch will be released...WHEN ITS READY!!! Calling everyone a smart ass even if we are Smart Asses! If I had E=MC2 tattooed on my ass would that make me a smart ass???? [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

Now I know what I want for my birthday next week.... Yup, a 3D printer. I just know the wife is going to say NO. [e digicons]:cylon:[/e]

Battlestar Galactica style Colonial Battlestar. Built this one just to see if it was possible with limited ship parts until next update.

I have been posting these ship screenshots on Facebook and have actually had people make requests to make certain ships. As a matter of fact some people on FB have actually gone and bought the Founders Elite Alpha after seeing what I've been able to reproduce while still testing the game. I hate to say it but I am having a blast with the Shipyard as you can see. I cant wait to see the revised Shipyard.

You need to concentrate on researching. Unlock and research hull sizes to make bigger ships. Possibilities for making custom ships are endless and only limited by your imagination. Be BOLD and experiment with the shipyard. Try facing parts in different directions to make your ship stand out and look different from others.

Just use Steam and take a screen shot. That is what I used. Looking forward to seeing your ships. I know they are going to revise the shipyard. I can only hope it will be as good as the one from GC2. I know the Dev's told us not to have fun but once you get used to using the shipyard as it is it becomes quite addicting. I am enjoying it. [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] Maybe a little to much. I was up until 3 am last night messing with it. Will post my latest creati

I'm going to be holding off on posting anymore ship pictures. I have some annoyances with hard points on most shipyards parts not being symmetrical and also noticing tilting parts when they are placed on the starter blocks and hard points. See Picture. I've already reported this to the Dev's. I hope it gets fixed soon. [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMajik/2014-05-31_00011_zpsd6530d17.jpg~original[/IMG] This needs t

Thank you for the compliments! Keep Watch... more to come as I get more practice at using shipyard.

I think it's better to wait. the Devs will be adding more stuff later and I hope I can remake these ships in medium, large and huge size. Right now the Shipyard is very limited as to size of ships you can make. I have to use a Cargo starter block just to get them to show up larger on game map. When testing is over I would be happy to share files.

Here is another Constitution Class Star Ship in the Star Trek design. This is my USS Constellation. A bit boxy but I am still experimenting with shipyard.

After spending several days messing with the shipyard (and NO this was NOT FUN) I finally got a handle on GCIII star ship building 101. Here is my Constitution Class Starship in the Star Trek style. Comments welcome. [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMajik/GalacticCivilixationIIIUSSConstitution002_zps8e412e87.jpg~original[/IMG]

Ethan, Do you realize the amount of computing power you would need to do the things you have suggested for players. It just seems unrealistic as I would have to combine and network the CPU and Ram of several computers alone to be able to run a game. I would seriously need a mainframe to play a game with all your suggestions. This not feasible for the average gamer. Although I do like your thinking and intentions.

I recently had the same problem. I accidently fleeted two colony ships and sent them to the same planet and it was colonized twice and shows up on my colonized planets column. Does seem to be a bug.

I don't know how it happened because I had been playing with cheats on throughout the whole game and this only started to happen once I got past Mission 6 Rock and Hard Place. I checked to make sure auto-turn was off and indeed it was. This is looking more like a glitch or a bug in the game. I updated my video drivers and this seems to have solved the problem. My video drivers were two years out of date .

While playing GC2-TA mission 8 "Nightmare", the game suddenly starts playing by itself without any user interface. I am totally locked out of control on the game.The only way to stop it is to either use the task manager and end program or shut off my computer. I have auto-turn in the game turned off so this should not be happening. I am playing campaign mode with KHSM for TA as my only mod. Playing on Win7</span
