Does this mean custom ship styles can be assigned (finally)?
TS22
I'm actually quite excited about what I'm seeing Stellaris do (based on the dev and let's play vids) with the 4x space genre. I see myself putting in lots of hours playing it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it impacts other 4x games in the future, including GCIII.

[quote who="JTS80" reply="2" id="3621809"] Or do you mean a creator for "custom ship styles" where all the Federation, Klingon, Star Wars etc. ships created can easily be assigned in-game as a new ship style? I would highly second that request. I think this, together with really custom ship colors, is something that the game needs. [/quote] Yes, this! Was hoping to hear Stardock's thoughts on this... Gauntlet, I would argue that something like this would
I bought the game, most dlc, and now the expansion. I cannot fathom why players don't have an easy ship style set creator. I see the instructions on how to do this for modders. However, I have zero skills in that area. If this was easy, I imagine we would see lots of ship style sets rather than the thousands of individual ships or collections in the Steam Workshop. Really, Stardock, I just want to know if this is something that you are working on.&n
Ok, thanks for the info! Hopefully we've get an easy way to do this at some point....
I recently came back to GCIII with the expansion, and I was wondering if this issue has been resolved yet. I love that there are so many neat ships in the Steam Workshop. What I'd like to know is where do I find completed ship style sets. I don't see this option in the Workshop, and I don't see links to completed sets in the forums. Is there still no list of ship style sets (besides Gauntlet's awesome mod)?
Ok thanks, I'll check those out!
Ok, thanks for the info! Bummer to hear that this issue still hasn't been resolved with Steam though.
Been away for a bit, hoping some of the kinks would get worked out. With 1.2, is there a way to download new (modded) ship sets? I see on the Steam Workshop that users can download individual ships, but what about a complete ship set? If not, any timeline for when this will be implemented? Thanks.
Same issue here.
It seems like it should save as an xml file, I wonder why it doesn't?!
I'm sure that there is an easy way to do this, but I can't figure it out. Once a custom faction has been created, how can I go in and edit the file? I see a .Faction file but can't seem to find the xml files. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't really need or care for tactical battles. I just would like the current system to make sense. With range and speed being featured aspects of a ship and weapon type, it is illogical for combat ships to not fully utilize their range/speed advantage. As others have mentioned above, perhaps range should be taken out until it is fully fleshed out by the developers. Combat speed (ie thrusters) could just add to the evasion factor/roll. &nb
It is a design flaw though. I get that lasers and kinetics need to be viable options, but what is the rationale?! As it currently plays, if you use exclusively missiles, you just have to assume your ship captains are morons charging in guns blazing rather than utilizing the range advantage!
This has bothered me as well. It makes no sense! I hope this gets redone in a patch.
Count me in on this!
Ok I'm not sure how to attach images to this so here's the link for the Bulrathi pic that I'm using: http://www.moddb.com/games/stardrive/images/kulrathi-diplomacy I think it captures what the Bulrathi are about (plus samurai swords!). If you send me instructions on how to post the pics, I'll send you the others that I'm using.
[quote who="wpkelley41" reply="2" id="3547434"] Absolutely, thank you. I've made 4 or 5 of the original Moo races, lol. I'm just having trouble finding good pics. I'm having no luck finding logos. Any suggestions as to good sites or sources for either? Thanks! [/quote] I love the MOO races, and have about 8-9 of them in my game! Getting good quality pics hasn't been easy. I ended up using a mix of stuff that I found through Google Images. Ma
Got it, thanks!
Yeah, that didn't work...
How do you figure out what version you have....the main start up screen just shows .97..... I'd like to get the hotfix (assuming that it's out) and verify that it downloaded properly.
I got the same bug with the Yor. I could click around but nothing would happen. I tried rebooting a few times and nothing worked. I wonder if invasion is messed up in the new beta...really hope not!
[quote who="Casorian Emperor" reply="2" id="3538546"] 4. Will we finally be able to rename Stars (and thereby their planets) that are not homeworld systems in Beta 6? Some of the names totally break the immersion and make me feel like I am playing a game for juveniles. [/quote] Yes, please. I thought that I was the only one who had a problem with this. Some of the star names are absurd. It really does end up detracting from the ga
I tend to max out the queue. However, that doesn't take into account any new buildings until the queues are empty. Anyway, it's not that big a deal, just odd that they wouldn't have this feature in the game. If I played on the larger maps and had to deal with all that micromanagement, it wouldn't be much of game...more like a job.
