StaticShipBlueprintDefs problem - game hangs when referring to a modded static blueprint in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

While experimenting with changing the equipment on the starting survey ship, I found that if I tried to link to a blueprint other than the original, the game would hang on galaxy creation (no error shown in debug.err) So, if I make a copy of the information in SurveyStaticBlueprint , and call it SurveyStaticBlueprint 2 (i.e. I copy everythig

Thanks for the enthusiasm everyone! And no worries James :) [quote who="Christian_Akacro" reply="5" id="3558958"] This is awesome! Looking forward to other races and eras! The Klingons and Romulans obviously. The Dominion's would be great as well as the Cardassians. Can't forget the Borg of course. Probably not possible, but I'd love it if you could force the shipyard near Earth to be Utopia Planitia in style. [/quote]

With the changes to kinetic mass (along with the changes to carrier modules) could the GuardianFighterBlueprint get a KineticWeapon line added?

Agreed! It's way too easy to succumb to the feeling that the negative outweighs the positive, but the forums are full of people helping out with issues and improving the gaming experience together. Perhaps that means we should be a little clearer about how appreciative we are for the work Brad and the team put in to this.

Hey guys, as some of you may have seen in the 'show your ships' and 'share your template' threads, I'm working on a stable of Federation/Starfleet ships from Star Trek! Due to getting a little annoyed at having to manually design and upgrade craft with my new templates, and having found Dumhed's excellent guide (here: https://forums.galciv3.com/465834/page/1/ ) I started work on a c

[quote who="Sansloi37" reply="6" id="3558600"] Hey TurielD, great post! I agree with pretty much all of your points, and have in fact modded my game to do almost everything you've suggested - increased maintenance/manufacturing costs, and assaults made into tiny missile bombers (and switched them with interceptors, so that now interceptors are the base fighter and carrier focus unlocks either "bombers" or kinetic Guardians). I also changed the high capacity carrier module into a one-

Reply to Pics of self-designed ships in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

What's happening is the ship designer thinks the ship is so big it needs more space - it's basically measuring the distance from your starting part to an edge (I dunno which edge). So, if you move your ship forward by grabbing the base part and moving it along the Z axis, the ship will change size in the screenshot.

[quote who="wuphonsreach" reply="10" id="3558455"] My feeling for the diplo-timer of 20 turns is that it should be scaled based on how big the previous interaction was. And it should be by "category" instead of an entire "do not talk to us" switch. Traded me for tech? First off, there should be a limit of no more then 3-5 techs traded at a time, then a 20 turn average cool-down before you can trade tech again with that race. Races that like you might be willing to
