Reply to The One Thing I Wanted - Better Starbases in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="node10" reply="14" id="3558031"] Off the top of my head, there are a number of things that could be done to make Military SBs worthwhile:- Increased auto-repair for fleets stationed within its ZoC. Increased Logistics for fleets stationed within its ZoC. (Although when moving a boosted fleet out of ZoC there will need to be a pop-up telling you that you need to break the f

Reply to The One Thing I Wanted - Better Starbases in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Here's an idea: Let military starbases exude a zone of control that doesn't protect things directly, but involves the base in any battle happening in that zone - 2 hexes or so. So, if you have a starbase next to your planet, troop transports and attacking craft can't just go to town without going through the starbase. But, due to the starbase overlap issue, you will have to choose between surrounding planets with production/culture bases, or having a militar

A couple of issues with ending wars in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hey all, here's a couple of minor gripes I have with how ending a war goes while you're winning. First, the AI will tell you they've had enough, and you get this message: To which I say 'very well' because I am a benevolent god, and I'd like to negotiate the terms of their surrender. But what "Very Well." actually does is immediately accept

[quote who="a0152570" reply="2" id="3556523"] They actually mentioned making all the mass the sames, may nee to be adjusted but prob not a bug [/quote] Yah I think 6 is perhaps a bit too light (that's without any mass reducing tech at all), but I certainly understand making them lighter than they were. I was more surprised that for my high-tech terran they were way heavier than for a new game. Perhaps a save/legacy issue?

1.02 kinetic weapon mass weirdness in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Hey there, I just opted in to 1.02 and was checking out some things in the Default tech tree on a new tiny world when I noticed that kinetic weapons seemed really light. So I looked further in the tech tree and found this: Odd... surely they're not all supposed to have the same mass. Then I checked it with my ship-building save, using the Terran tech tree, and

[quote who="MrStarTrek" reply="1169" id="3556491"] Turiel, If you actually knew ammount of parts I use to design ships especially canon Star Trek ships it would blow your mind. I use about 5X more parts to get the level of detail I want. [/quote] Haha fair enough; the transitions you've got are so smooth, maybe I'm underestimating the number because of that. Fed ships are all so curvy and rounded, it's hard to find any parts in the editor which

[REQUEST] slightly smarter AI ship design choices (examples included) in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

So I've been a little frustrated by the ships that the AI auto-designs for me, and also by the similarly weak vessels it fields against me. So, I went looking for just how it chooses to build them. A little info on that for those who don't know: Turns out, it's actually not too hard to understand; when a tech becomes available, the AI looks to a list of ship designs and sees if the newly unlocked components make a new design (or new version of an existing one) available.

[quote who="Osbot" reply="75" id="3556471"] I think you just need to tick the boxes on the different settings. If some lunatic wants 6400 stars, I say, dare to dream young man, dare to dream! Right now and for me, abundant looks just a little too sparse for my taste, and that is on the highest stock star frequency setting and I'd consider myself probably about middle of the road regarding how many planets I'd like to manage. I'd guess that for

I remember reading that the AI would learn and improve - and learn from our play and adapt to that too - does that cross-propagate among players somehow, or is it on an install-by-install basis?

[quote who="SorrowKnight" reply="39" id="3556381"] Carrier modules reduced from 3 units to 2 units I think... Carrier rebalance shoud go another way. May be it shoul have much more fighters (about 10-15 per module), but(!!) that fighters should be a tiny size, whith maximum 2/1/1 attack and 1/1/0 defence or something about this. So we`ll have Carriers, that send into battle masses of small, fragile and weak in single use
