I have been using the version before this update in all of my games except for a few special cases. I consider it mandatory to use, so I just downloaded the new version and will use it in my next game. Many thanks for this.

I had strange things happen in some games I played with your UCP mod version 1.12 in Intrigue. In different games the default colony ship population would be different, and the time to wait to change governments would be different. I found the cause, and it still exists in 1.13 and in this mod. When the initial installation is made, the UCP_Enhanced\Game folder contains the file GalCiv3GlobalDefs.xml. When UCP_Intrigue.rar is unzipped, it adds another copy of GalC
In the game I'm currently playing, I flipped a Yor planet when they settled it deep in my area of influence. I didn't have to do anything except wait for it to flip. Since it had only one population and my influence was already high, it flipped in one turn. I'm not going to promise using the starbase will work for you, but I think it will, so I think it is worth trying.

I am seeing this a lot with the Import Export Center. It seems to have something to do with other races loosing a planet that has their Import Export Center. When they loose theirs it allows me to build another one. I recently had 5 on one planet. I found a way to allow me to build more that one that works every time that supports the planet loss idea. I find a planet of another race that has an Import Export Center and use the console to destroy the planet. 
Steam updated my 3.04 opt-in. I checked the xml for the Hyperion Shipyard. It has been fixed. I started a game with the NoMinSpec launch option. My computer has the specs to allow me to play all the galaxy sizes, so I didn't see a change there. However, there also has been a limit to the maximum number of total players in a galaxy. That restriction is gone, so the galaxy size restrictions are probably gone also.

I started a new game and played normally until I was ready to train a Commander that I could promote to Privateer. My government allowed declarations of war. When I was ready, I saved the game then promoted the Commander. Everything worked correctly. I loaded the save, changed to a government that prohibited declarations of war, then promoted the Commander. Everything worked correctly, exactly like the previous time. I've decided it's not worth pursuing

Here's an issue that may not have ever been reported. I don't remember doing it, and I don't remember seeing it anywhere. ShipComponentDefs.xml has costs for prototype Elerium, Antimatter and Durantium weapons. The Elerium weapon costs 1 Elerium. The Antimatter weapon costs 2 Antimatter. In the base game the Durantium weapon costs 1 Durantium. In Crusade it costs 12 Durantium. It looks like someone accidentally pressed the 1 and the 2 to get 12.&

I can only get the new races to show up in GalCiv3 if I use the Steam Workshop button in the race selection screen to open the Steam overlay. I then find the race I'm missing, unsubscribe from it, subscribe to it, then click on Click here to return to game at the top of the screen. If that is what you are doing and it doesn't work, here is another possible solution. When I subscribe in Steam, all the data get downloaded to m

I was going to promote a Commander to Privateer, but I had also read about this causing a crash in some cases. I saved the game, then tried the promotion. I got a crash instead. I loaded the save and tried a different commander and got another crash. This post is here to make the save available to the devs. I also included a text file that gives more details.

[quote]Added the ability to trade from the first contact dialog [/quote] I really like this. I rarely think to trade with a race as soon as I meet them, then I usually don't until they initiate a trade later in the game. I tried one game, not the one mentioned in my previous reply, where I used this every time I met someone. It was a good way to immediately find out what they had that I might want.
[quote]Fixed an AI issue that allowed freighters to go way beyond their normal range [/quote] This isn't fixed very well. I started a new game without mods in an immense galaxy using the races that come with the game. I started on the edge, so I didn't have to restart the game. I then opened the console and used the fowtrans, god and soak commands so I could watch what happened in an automated game. The AI that took over my race build freighters and sent t

We were not at war before this happened. I got the declaration of war just before the attack occurred. If this is the intended behavior, it works. It is also a dirty, rotten, sneaky, terrible thing to do, so congratulations there. I'm not sure it matters, but the race that did the surprise attack was the Snathi Revenge. It does seem normal for them. I may have to start escorting my colony ships.

I haven't used this mod in a long time because you change some of the same xml files that I change for my personal mods. I decided to check the 8.5 version and found that there is very little overlap in xml files that are changed. As I looked through the files we both use, I thought I found an error. I installed the mod and used it without any others and found that I was right about the error. In the GRM 8.5\For Your My Games - GalCiv 3 Crusade Directory\M

[quote]The AI will no longer eject colony ships with no population. [/quote] I started a game on a tiny galaxy against the Yor to see how they handled this. They always launched many empty colony ships before this patch. With this patch they built two colony ships with two population each and sent them to colonize planets. This reduced the population of the home planet to one, so they shouldn't be able to put any population on any colony ship they built.
Here are the player limits in Intrigue and probably in any version of 3.0. I don't know if the amount of RAM changes any of this. I'm on my laptop with 16 GB of RAM. I'll try my desktop with 32 GB of RAM later. Galaxy S
