To accomplice this you will need to create both a ship and a template of said ship and edit a number of the xml files since modding support is not yet in. I will use my design of the Voyeur in the examples. For the design files go to the "Post Your Gal Civ III Ship Designs!" (page 31) thread . First the ship. Design your ship as a hull; so no active components. To get the look and feel you can add

Madman (Kinectic fighter craft) The Exterior superstructure plating is supposed to compensate for its lack of armor, but no pilot has ever returned from battle to confirm whether this actually works. Only mad men take this ship into b

thenewteddy, Please specify your motherboard. Because you might be going the wrong way. As far as i recall the only (E8500 LGA775) motherboards that support DDR3 are the ones with the intel G41M chipset. If so then the following is very important: those motherboards (that i know of) use a combination of a DDR2 dual channel and a DDR3 dual channe

Gilmoy, you are right it is not the happiness that account for the 50%, but the Active Core planet trait. The rest (about the build cost points) is correct. [quote who="Gilmoy" reply="6" id="3513936"] Anyways, you can see that even the game engine itself thinks that "+30 mp" (for an Entertainment Center) means 450 bc rush cost, which is indeed a rate of 15.0. That's what it tells you in both hover windows. Somehow, it's letting me build a 30 mp th

Now for something completely different: Not a ship, but an observation concerning ship design. When the origin (cube) is not near the middle of the ship length (as measured over the z-axis) the game will scale the ship incorrectly. This can be quite clearly seen when you select the ship in the shipyard where the ship then will appear to be too small relative to the available view (screen estate), and in the ship icon where the ship will not be properly be fitted to the icon.

Once you place the origin (cube) its sides determine the orientation of the ship. The best way to keep track of the ship orientation is to immediately attach two dummy parts to the cube (and give them an offset away from the cube). This allows you to see which way is which. And because of the hex grid map, any wobble during flight is to be expected, but its stem should always be (roughly) pointing toward the destination. If you fly by hand (eg manually 1 tile at a time) the ship

The origin (cube) determines the orientation of the ship. When you place it (by selecting a hull size), the side of the cube that is front left-facing is the stem-side (front) of the ship, the side of the cube that is front-right facing is the ship port-side, and the upward facing side it the ship top-side.

In the GalCiv3MapDefs.xml file: 0 Do NOT put a value above 9 here. At 6 and higher, planetary systems will overlap; At 9, stars might end up in adjacent tiles; At 10, sometimes multiple stars are created on the same tile, resulting in a crash. A value of 3 gives some nice results.
