Reply to Merging spy system with scout system in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

exactly, espionage is considered a standard nowadays. which is why they in my opinion would be better off putting in a shitty quickly put together placeholder espionage system in for the base game then none at all. If i were new to the genre or on the fence about buying, it strikes me as better to watch a review and hear espionage is a weaker part of this game vs a rant about why a feature is missing. And those people aren't going to care about a promise to fix 1-2 years down the

Reply to Merging spy system with scout system in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

clearly not putting in espionage, especially when it was in the previous game, is a obvious ploy to divert negative attention in reviews from something else we don't know about yet to lack of espionage instead. It's like the it's better that people complain about the price then about missing features, but for when the game is released. In a unrelated topic, can somebody give me some advice on the best way to make a futuristic looking tin foil hat?

Reply to Suggestion: Quick, No impact battles when facing a very inferior foe in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

IMO that kind of thing is a design problem more so then a gameplay problem. It's common in this gerne to give the AI massive bonuses as a way to increase difficulty, the AI often already plays at maximum "smartness" at low difficulty settings. Additionally in galciv 2 specifially the AI also has to compensate for limited ship designs available to it. This results in the AI having massive fleets. 64bit AI and ship/strategy data mining should go q

Reply to Show a measurement scale/Direction indicator/Ship camparison in the designer in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

A small window on the side with stats on the ship your building, like length and width etc, strikes me as more useful for knowing ship size. any kind of ruler would be hard to use to estimate precise length due to perspective. The compass, or some other way to determine what will be the front of your ship, does strike me as useful in case you want to build ships without a obvious front or are into weird backwards flying ships that defy the laws of nature. I'd

Reply to Custom Races and Ships Database in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

They will be using steam workshop for this. You would still have to download other peoples designs manually, but then they would/could probably be part of random races. I'm sure there will be packs of 100+ civilizations eventually. If you want your race to own others, i suggest making a good scenario or custom map instead, multiple players/races vs your super OP race or some such.

Reply to Gripe About weaponry and defenses in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

Every weapon (or ship) should have a number of points in the ship designer advanced mode. You could spend these points to "configure" your weapon, on bonuses to accuracy, range, damage, fire speed, etc. Negative bonuses could also be a thing ofc for the die hard min-maxer. i.e. +10% x for 1 point, +20% for 2, +30% for 3, -10% for -1. Some research could increase the amount of points you get to spent. This could be balanced against people who do not use the advance

Reply to Can we discuss Minor Races yet? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

you can always ask it during one of the dev streams :) I'm sure they will be more or less the same then they were before. Perhaps with abit more civ5 city-state esque things mixed in, i.e. some minor forms of interaction. Personally id like to see a way to let them join your empire without warfare, but trough diplomacy or trade instead.

Question regarding fleet reinforcements in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I have heard alot of cool talk about how you can make custom fleets and assign ships to specific functions like escort, long range combat, etc. However, it stands to reason that you will loose ships in combat, causing holes in your perfect design. Will there be a easy way to replace those ships? Stardrive for example had a amazing button on the fleet itself that let you replace any lost ships in the fleet, you would click the requisition button and then the game would search for any a
