While there are a lot of (hot)keys not yet in the game, this post is not about that. The "Done" button/action in the shipyard is not bound to the "Done" key. The default binding in the Options->Input for the "Done" key is "Enter". The "NextNotification" key (default the "Tab" key) also invokes the next turn. While it should take you to all outstanding actions, but not end your turn. To go through all the outstanding actions and th

A lot of sensors have the wrong mass class. The resulting effect is that specialized scout / survey ships have an incorrect sensor range, because they now depend on the life support mass reducing techs. If you have researched all life support and sensor mass reducing techs, then there is no difference because they both have 3 techs that reduce the mass by 20%. But at the moment the sensor mass reducing techs are quite useless. The following sensors have "Life Support Mass" ins

[quote who="a0152570" reply="7" id="3518763"] Is this a modder only thing or will "save as template" update the *.xml's based on the assigned role? [/quote] Consider it a modder thing. The "save as template" will not touch any .xml files. And in the current version you can no longer specify an assigned role. The game will assign the role depending on the actual active components on the ship. So if you don't want to mod, you can still use the templates

While the above about using the template to create functional ship designs is true, there is another reason for template creation. The real need for the templates is that (custom) ship classes use them to allow the auto ship designer to generate the various versions of that ship. So there is a Terran_Scout template (in "steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\Designs") which in combination with the TerranScout class (as defined in ShipClassDefs.xml) and the ScoutBlueprin

Change in version .70 (Beta 4). Roles (except Assault and Support) should no longer be specified in ShipBlueprintsDefs.xml. Specifying any role other than "Assault" or "Support" will result in multiple ship-design-versions being created. So for the earlier mentioned example, that should now read as: TerranVoyeurBlueprint

The sounds are stored in a Miles Sound System Compressed file (\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\Sfx\GC3_SFX_Bank.msscmp). Unlike previous versions of the RAD Game Tools there is no non-commercial/home-use version available.

Franco fx, It is already possible. I am doing in my current games. See my previous 2 posts: they explain how to do it. Because the blueprints of the standard ships are useless, i actually already play with 17 active custom ship classes (all with their own custom ship design); Which the game automatically updates (like "Voyeur M1", "Voyeur M2", e

Horrible post title, but i will try to explain. When creating a ship class in the ShipClassDefs.xml file - so that the game will create auto-designed versions - and you use an user-made design (template) that is created with only techs available at the start of the game, then no ship (version) design is created upon game start. Lets say i have a design called "Voyeur", and made a template of it, and have created a ship class ("TerranVoyeur") for this ship template, and this sh
