The only thing that I can honestly say is bugging me is: Can we please get a little arrowhead at the top of red war lines in the Treaties screen to indicate who declared war on who, so it's easy to pick war mongers and know who doesn't like who at an even quicker glance? ie: Korath [color="#FF0000"]------->[/color] Terran Cheers Brad, your game is incredible!
Constantine the SSX Nova Hound looks sleek, smooth and durable from every angle, like a poisonous dart from the top to a slippery, aerodynamic (excuse the spaceship not being in air) and sensor-invisible shell from the rear. Especially loving the engines aye, they have an incredible amount of detail in them and they look awesome! Definitely stealing that style as well :D
That Scorpion is really well done HazMask! the detail in the legs and torso is really good, along with the way the pincers line up. Well done mate! Mzuz the Helix is an incredibly attractive fighter, its smooth lines and semi-modular looking sections look swift and lethal with an elegant pose about it. I love it!! Somehow I think that Lord Vega is going to imitate that design as soon as he gets a chance :HOT:
This is Galatic Civilizations II as danielost said, and it came out two years ago. The new expansion pack (second one), which a fair few of our ships are based on comes out on April 23rd but is preorder-able if you have a bit of extra cash laying around. Jump in and join the GalCiv community and show us what you can come up with!
[quote]even though there might be the occasional gripe about grammer. But that isn't a problem for me since, "I no my letters."[/quote] Because you brought it up, it should be know, rather then no my letters. I'm going to guess thats why its quotation marked but =)
[quote]I have found that the ship intel function does not provide accurate size proportions(unless that changed in TA-beta). Best views are taken in the shipyard where the proportions are still in the size they were set at.[/quote] No, it still doesn't scale them right which is something I would really like to see happen in a patch some time down the track. I'll grab those pictures when I have a moment for you Pesky.
The Ophois is a very impressive vessel constantine, is it based on a medium or large hull? I'm going to guess at large given the Shogun references (thanks, I didn't know the Shogun was good enough for comparisons with others work)! I really like the way the engine's at the back have been made to come out from the body in a flowing way, not breaking any of the sleek, deadly lines that the Ophois possess. The wolf head at the bow of the Ophois is incredibly realistic and very fitting with the name
Cheers Uorx :LOL:
Super Carriers. The Flagship of every fleet to ever progress to a stage that they are able to build and operate them. The Arcean Empire has reached this point and has revealed plans for their first Super Carrier, taking the best lessons that they had learnt from the outstanding still in service ship designs of the Ronin class Frigate and the Shogun class Battleship (like not using to many pieces, and using a stable TA beta) and applying them to the biggest vessel to ever be created in the sector
Yeah the sort of quasi dome thats flat on one side with some funky stuff pointing out the sides, then I chuck on the thing that looks a bit like a tazer prong from near the bottom of the 'Generic' piece's section and if I'm feeling adventurous sometimes, like in my newest creation to be posted in about 5 minutes I'll even whack two of the buggers on and have a rotating 'quad cannon'. Looks pretty sweet!
No, I don't even have KHSM downloaded! Yeah, I've normally been satisfied with the parts and stuff that I've been able to find in game. Most of the pieces for the Shogun have been in favorites since the beginning of the year and the Ronin's creation, with the exception of the new turret and the rear hangers hexagon floor/walls (which I'm not using again due to the massive amount of pieces required to make it right and my humble system choking badly on them).
Uorx, the top down in ship builder of the Shogun at maximum range that you requested. [img]http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f57/Fate_001/Shoguntop.jpg[/img] With twilights beta change I couldn't open up my Arcean save game, so I started a quick battle of the god's Terran match with Arcean Hull style and grabbed that pic for ya. Hence my Terran colour scheme =p
The finished Shogun has arrived in its final production form and the Office of Lord Vega has let official information finally come out as to its specifications. The Shogun class Battleship has seven Capital Weapons grade fully rotating batteries each one individually being able to tear any Dregin vessel apart in a single shot. A three shot salvo from these vastly improved batteries can destroy even the toughest of battleship sized vessels as proven in testing by firing the monsters at solid tris
[quote]That 'big slab' piece that forms the Katana's main hull seems to be really popular as well. It's used on the General's Katana, the Ronin, the Berlin, the Crusader, my Poseidon, the Shogun, and the Ragnarok.[/quote] Yep, shamelessly stolen from your original post to trial in my Ronin, then because it was so very awesome it became the foundation of the Shogun as well! [quote]A huge-hulled carrier could be added to the design, with the fighters pushed over to the side, but
Hehe, it seems that I created a "Hanger craze" with the Ronin class's pioneering design! I name Terran Starfleet's Berlin class Frigate sized vessel and the Ven Protectorate's esteemed flagship the Crusader class Dreadnought sized vessel, along with Arcea's own Shogun class Battleship sized vessel as prime examples. Congrats to the General, Uorx and PeskyFly on creating some absolutely amazing vessels, the talent of the players around here is amazing!
The Ronin class Frigate of Mother Arcea was - and still is - a marvel of modern engineering with only one (AES Dawn, KIA Jun 2236) every lost in combat, and only so when on route to a rally point and ambushed by a Dregin killer fleet. And yet now news has arrived that will send a cold shiver down even a Korath.. A leaked Spy Picture of the Arcean Empire's latest warship, the battleship sized Shogun class, ruler of the space lanes and everything she sees. From what we can see from this p
The hanger of the Berlin is very impressive General, the Arceans shall learn the valuable lessons from the Terrans improvements and return, with an even greater ship to defend the glorious name of Arcea!
Theres no Tech being researched.. which is impossible to do, normally with sliders at zero it will say something and "Never", therefor I'm going to hazard a guess that thats the bug your on about. Ouch, that would suck!
OoO!!! Brilliant, well done good sir! A brilliant story with a stunning conclusion, and I hope to see what the Coalition is pitted up against next..
Biggest battle in the History of the Universe to come? Looking forward to it!!
WOOT!! The General Lives :D :D :D :D
Agreed, bring forward the rise of the Snathi!
I concur with Mac, the Arceans are my favorite race and they are really struggling under Beta 4C.. They could hold their ground on small maps with rare everything, when you basically only get two worlds but once you get up to a size where you actually have a colony rush they're in trouble. They don't need anything anywhere near as badly as the Thalans do (although the Thalans impromptu Embassy Warfare Tactic works well on small maps - by chance), but they definitely need something a lit
Try to reinstall the game and if the problem persists then the next step would be to email stardock at [email protected] and get them to help. Their normally pretty prompt during business hours and sometimes will be around after hours as well. It sounds like the Huge Map size dimensions file may be corrupted though, so a reinstall should probably fix the problem.
This is a really great idea Dregin! I remember back when I started playing the demo for DL just after it had come out and I heard about this game down here in Australia, and being completely confused about how bad the ships were and why my enemies were always building better ships then me.. Then I read the basic strategy guide on the site and found out about the shipbuilder, and that saved my life. Went on and bought the game and its been my favorite game every since, thanks to that guide.
