[1.0.3.3][Bug] You can upgrade ships to unbuildable ship designs. in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

There are a number of ship designs that are not supposed to be buildable by the player, however if you have got a compatible hull size you can upgrade to them. The Drone interceptor can't be build in the shipyard, but a scout can be upgrade to it. The blueprint for the drone interceptor (DroneFighterBlueprint) has the CanBeBuilt tag set to false, which does prevent the ship from being build, but it does not prevent it from being upgrade to it. <img style="vertical-ali

[quote]Black Market: alot of the new BM items add fun variety to the game. However, it also creates some un-fun situations where the BM dictates the endgame, such as when there is no protection (too risky offworlds) or there is no sabotage (no way to impede offworlds). Overall I like the new options. Scientific gets wrecked by magentic storm and Pirates. Expansive/Scav wins easy when theres no way to slow them down, or destroy the offworlds when it gets to end game. If theres no

XwerewolfX, you are using the wrong tactics. Offer him the choice between a threat, a treat, or a thread. With the last two i can help you. I probably have some leftover candy lying around and a loose piece of sewing wire is available as well. If you have to resort to the first option then you are on your own.

Therefore not always the best of the best. [/quote] While i like this, i see a massive problem with it: The fighters are generated on-the-fly based on their blue prints. The actual components (number and type) and bonuses depend on the state of the tech tree. This wou

Seilore, I think Paul may have said something along the lines of it in a dev feed. But I have observed this: In the turn notification list (right most tab, in the list panel on the right hand side of the main screen) you have an entry (when applicable) that states "There are x foreign ships in your territory without open borders permission". This notification is defined in the UIText.xml as the string for the ALERT_ForeignInZOC tag. Occasionally i see AI ships (of AI i do

[quote who="rspiccaver" reply="12" id="3563722"] Quoting Deathwynd, reply 10 From what I have learned in my own modding this fix will work because something targeted at "AreaEffect" will alter the values that all AOE applies. Every race has a similar tech and I cannot fathom why it would be set to effect Research. I think what you may not be realizing is AreaEffect is a code object just like starbases ships and colonies, it is generated only

Long, long ago it did some testing and no matter what you do, the AI can pick which fleet to attack. Build order of the ships, nor creation order of the fleet, nor arrival order in the tile seem to make any difference. I mentioned this in a dev stream and Paul said "Don't worry about this, the battle dialogs are just place holders. We're going to overhaul the combat interface when the battle viewer comes in, and in the future this should not happen.". And that was either durin

Reply to Pragmatic V: Watchful no ships? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The actual bonus according to the xml and the description does not seem to match. Looking at the xml you should get a single interceptor fighter per fleet. The interceptor fighter is defined for the standard races as a drone fighter, which means you must have both a beam weapon ('Weapons Systems') and a sub light engine ('Interstellar Travel') researched for them to show up - rather low techs, so this should not be a problem. Furthermore the Zone Of Control is

[Beta 4] No in-game UI when starting game with 7 AIs in Offworld Support Offworld Forums

I am not talking about the menus, but about the UI that is shown when you actually start the map. It does not matter what kind of map, or display settings, as long as i am playing with less than 7 AI then the game shows the in-game UI. In the previous version it did work properly. I even tried the DX9 or the OpenGL modes, and those did not matter for the behaviour of the showing of the in-game UI. Map settings 6 AI. <img style="vertical
