I like the oscillate tool, as it allows me to build moving pipes up and down to look like an engine. It can be difficult as all animation stuff can be.

Reply to Is the FE map pack still available? Is it the same as LH Map Pack? in FE Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Peter Cohen" reply="4" id="3467293"] Well, I bought the map pack, and it turns out that I already have everything that was in the pack. I do not remember buying it before, but it appears that I have given Stardock a $5. gift, meaning they got the fiver, and I got nothing. Oh well. I can confirm that the maps do work in Fallen Enchantress.[/quote] There was an old bug that gave the map-pack for free to many people who did not purchase it. Apparently, you we

Don't forget to use your seta drive, speeds up space travel when you are doing menial travelling. As you get more ships to your fleet, you can set them to trade and travel while you go shooting pirates and starting wars. The early game is rather slow, but as you explore and upgrade your stuff it gets better. If you are looking for the most dog fighting capability and ship flying you want to put yourself in a fully upgraded M5. That will travel quick and get you to place to place,

The map pack for FE should be the same as LH. You should be able to use the maps with FE.

The X-universe, I think I've logged roughly 300+ hours in X2 and 300+ hours in X3... They are rather expansive and in the beginning it is a space sim and then the game shifts into a management sim afterward (although you can still fight around). X-Rebirth tried to keep the space flight sim throughout the game at the cost of management towards the end. Hence, the large rebuff from the fans of the X-series. (Also, can't forget that rebirth removed the aspect of piloting different ships

The other bit about the proportional scaling is mostly to scale proportionally from the users presets vs. the original object definitions preset. i.e. you drew an object that is twice as long as tall, then I modify this object that is half as long as tall.

Ship Design Feedback (some editing suggestions) in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

So, I like all the little features provided in the ship designer. I spent about an hour working on making linear motion from rotational motion when I realized that you had a movement animation. So after I created a walking spaceship (moving legs and such, inspired me to possibly create a walking AT-AT) I like the symmetry, but I do not necessarily like the fact with symmetry comes any component placed on a symmetric object automatically gets duplicated. (Although, I don't think yo

You could try out the x-series (I know X / X2 / X3 will support joysticks and it is a space sim) Mouse and Keyboard are perfectly reasonable to use in these games. In fact, I think you cannot get away from the keyboards in these games.

Currently working on adding skeletal pedestrians. Need to update the 80+ tiles with the pedestrians I've made and will soon have an undead empire using skeletons instead of the fallen people. Unfortunately, I was unable to get Banshee's to work. But skeletons are a go. For people looking to see what I've been doing lately. I'll be going through my mods and updating them shortly with all the updates.

Reply to Feature suggestion: Track races of planet citizens in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I do not necessarily support this idea. It is needlessly complicated and I only see game mechanics at its raw state. With 100 different races / species in the game it is plausible that the most populous race is 1% of the planet. Even if they do not support the 100 races, it removes the fact that my civilization does not label other species and treats all species equally. We don't even go as far as saying you are not my species. There is no need for the labels beyond cultural follower and
