[quote who="kaomkteek" reply="628" id="3508497"] Hi, I'm new to the GalCiv universe, stumbled upon it by accident. Looks like I've been missing out on a great franchise, glad to join in now. My first starship creation is very simplistic, I am thinking it'd be fun to have a race that likes to use orb-based designs. Without thinking "death star" too much, orb shaped capital ships would (real-world physics) open up the largest firing arcs possible pe
Here is one completely new ship in my Star Trek designs. No blueprint or schematics used to design this ship class, I did this one from visual memory and I think I got it spot on. Springfield Class Light Cruiser.

Sorry I still do not like this Idea .It adds more what I feel is "junky bulk" the game doesn't need at this time. Perhaps in a future expansion, just not now.
[quote who="Hamilmac" reply="620" id="3507963"] Rand, the Federation ship designs are so very cool. Your talent with the designer is impressive! I've always been partial to Klingon designs. Do you do any of those? I tried with our current part set and couldn't come up with anything that looked good e
Thank you for the kind compliment Allan.
Two entirely new Star Trek design. Danube Class Runabout.

[quote who="Hamilmac" reply="53" id="3507429"] I think we should have another contest when the ship designer is fully polished. Imagine what we will be able to do when we can apply color and texture schemes, etc. [/quote] I wholeheartedly CONCUR!!!
OK Thanks for clearing this up. I do think the ship building contest should be an annual event. Especially just before expansions are released or Ship pack DLC. Let us build ships that could be included in game for expansions and DLC if that is planned. Stardock Annual Star Ship Build OFF Contest. So say we all???
Adam, Sisko, many of us submitted a single view screenshot of our entries. Yours was a single pic but it had 4 to 5 different views of your ship. Many of us did not do that and it appears the only ones Stardock considered were pics that had 4 to 5 views of the ship. We are not told they had to be submitted this way. I find this unfair and your right Stardock could have been a bit more specific about it.
Well I just voted and have seen the ships stardock selected. Just one little peeve. I am a little disappointed that anyone who sent in single view submissions were not even considered. There was no rule or indication we had to send in 4 and 5 view schematics formats. I find this very unfair to those of us who busted our butts for a hours making ships to enter in contest. Just my opinion. [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e]

At least I get to vote on awesome ships :3 . [/quote] Thanks for the awesome compliment DARCA! I'm curious to see what ships they did select.
[quote who="trumpeter87" reply="593" id="3507278"] Rand--that Lexington Class rocks. I love the mix of parts... this may be my favorite (thus far) of your Star Trek inspired ships. How would I go about getting a copy of it, I want to take it apart and see how you did that... [/quote] Thank you for the kind compliment Trump! I did the Lexington Class from schematic file I downloaded from web and printed it. It's from an actual Star Trek ship, PM me your e-addy, I&

I like the idea. I used to blockade planets if I was at war with AI race in GalCiv2. I'd set up two or three fleets with fighters to go after blockade runners around planets and kill anything coming off those planets. I would station Transports just outside range and when I had decimated their ship fleets I would invade the planet. I am not sure it should be a feature but I would love to have the option to blockade not just when at war but for trade and economics. Backed up

Well there goes my chance to win. You guys have blown my contest designs away. Great ships guys!
I tried to tell you why this was a bad idea on the Steam forums. Don't get me wrong I am glad you made a suggestion you thought would help. The system for getting planetary bonuses is already in development for Governor's. Your idea changes the perimeters for getting the bonuses and forces the player to do the extra work of "hiring counselors: with a cost attached to it. Assigning a Governor(s) will cost the player nothing in the way of credits, your idea will cost the player
OPPS POST
The OP already posted this same topic on steam and I had already explained to him why it wouldn't work. He basically wants to add "counselors" for Governor's as silent "advisers" that will give planetary bonuses we already get by having Governor's for colonized planets. IMHO this would not work for GCIII because assigning Governors already does this, it just hasn't been implemented yet. See Steam thread here. I thumbed this down because it would be unrealistic to have
[quote who="trumpeter87" reply="520" id="3505919"] Just curious, how are you guys all submitting your contest entries? Are you submitting a single view or a combination of views? Or are you submitting one view and then a link to a video? I'm just torn about the best way and figured I'd ask what you all are doing... I'm finishing up a few designs and I'm really excited to post them here. [/quote] I am sending mine as single views. I think most a
