Lol I though back in 2010 Impulse was your ( Stardock ) Launcher , silly me .. I am stil no Fan of Tencent ( the Company behind Epic Games ) however I like Galciv to much to NOT support your Work so I jumped over my Shadow and bought it ( IV ) on Epic Time to rework my Fleet ( again )
weird - havent seen anything yet - to make things even funnier ,Streamers are treated with higher Value then the elite Founders ,i cant explain it otherwise
first a Lineup for Size betwen Ship Hulls - first one is a small Hull ,second medium ,last is a large ( Huge are roughly double the Size of a Large Ship ,@ least in the Editor ) new large Beam Cruiser ,named Corvus for ovious Reasons ( like all Ships named after Birds from the Songbird Family,only Exeption will be the huges named after mythical Birds ) <img src="http://i.imgur.com/B2xZGr3.jp
the first new Ships of my Fleet (( had to rework them - again [e digicons]O:)[/e] ) a closer Look to the new medium Beam Ship <img src="http://i.imgur.
With the Dread Lords in Game I would love the Opportunity to play or get Arceans,Torians, and Dominon of Korx as Minor Races if they are not planned as Majors ,you could use the same Trick you did for the Dread Lords and give them one long forgotten Colony to explain their Return. Game play wise I have no Ideas @ the Moment as I spent more time in the Ship Designer

Thanks for your Work so far - your Racemod is really helping filling the insane Maps with proper made Races ,without picking from existing Scifi Universes - which is never an Option for me it just feels wrong. Just a Question - do you make the Custom Races Pictures yourself or where do you get them ,i am stil looking for a good one for my Custom Race.
the Problem with Laptop Coolers is that they have to sit right under the Air-Intakes to get some cooling Effect on CPU / GPU ,second Problem is caused by the Power Limitations from USB Connections - those Fans arent very efficient ,to slow and not enough Air moved into the Laptop - if compared to a regular Fan in a Desktop Computer. For Example i am using a MSI GE 70 ( not exactly the Best Product if it comes to Heat Management ) it is running @ 70 Degrees Celsius under max Load on GP
@ crystlshake [img]http://i.imgur.com/XFpgT72.jpg[/img] this is a Picture of my (unfinished) new Phoenix Avatar ,lets say i want make use of some Parts in it [img]http://i.imgur.com/JsnPsHO.jpg[/img] I want that Head in this Example [img]http://i.imgur.com/jioBIJP.jpg[/img] select the Part where it begins by holding down left CTRL and leftclick that Part ( you have to start with the Part that connect to the Rest of your Ship ,otherwise the
@ crystlshake more complex Ships do indeed bog down the Game ,but once the Ship is done in the Designer and saved as a Ship ( not a Template ) its basicly one piece and your Framecount is not that much stressed then it is in Design Mode. I havent tried Ships with 700 Parts yet as my Ships are made of many custom Parts which keeps the Numbers lower - but there is no Way to tell when the Parts used are "to many" - your game could crash @ that Point our simply slow
Are you making these Ships from Scratch or are you using some Referance Material ? Because thats quite some nice Detailwork and Imagination if made from Scratch.
@ Gauntlet - thats interesting - kinda reminds me of a Starcraft Pylon @ Raindreamer - very catchy Design ,truly Alien in its look - just a quick note you can scale down funtional Parts and hide them inside your Designs if needed ,that Way they dont interfer with the Design itself ,and you can even make it look like your "Beam Crystals" are actualy firing the Beams ( tricky but possibly ) here are Pics of my reworked Kiwi Cargohauler - i wanted to get rid of the blocky Drengin
@Mr StarTrek - No Reason to feel offended here ,i was just asking out of Curiosity. Regarding Diversity in Federation Ships - take the Klingon Starships for an Example and you will get what i meant by Diversity ,they come with slightly different Design Ideas and Shapes + uneven Surfaces ,all of which makes them alot more interesting to me then the average smooth hulled streamlined Federation Starship. Regarding Star Trek Novels and Strategy Games etc or the Ships coming
first Freighter looks smaller then it really is ingame ,more Pics on my Steam Account Colony Ship - the Idea is the first Colony gets dropped on the Planet with everything needed to start ,thats why the whole middle Section looks like somekind of Spacestation <img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://i.imgur.com/VTL
here is a Shot of my Fractions ( the 5 Talon Coalition ) latest Ships ( edit - hopefully fixed all the messed up Pics ,unhappy with the size - redone it [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ) Phoenix Avatar <img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http:/
sitting in the same Boat ^^ But thanks for Beta 5 - now i am finaly able to start making Custom Ships for my Race ( I needed some Iconian and Thalan Parts for them - alll those rounded shaped Wings and Hulls will help ,Altarian Ships are to organic in Look )
the Game is simply not optimized to Ultra Widescreen - in fact there is rarely a Game which is optimized for ultra Wide . Most Games tend to look best on Full HD 1920 x 1080 . Sitting in the same Boat - facing the same "Bugs" - if you dont mind a little side stretching just play in Full HD on Fullscreen and the "Bugs" are gone until Stardocks releases some fixes for widescreen Resolutions
switching works on mine - however Performance is horrible on the Nvidia Chipset ( which supposed to be the high Performance Card ) dunno if this is just Driver related ,i started testing Gal Civ 3 with Alpha Build 3.1 and Driver Version 337.xx on my Laptop here is my Debug File ( sorry if i missed a better Way to post it ^^ ) Debug Message: Version 0.40, last updated on: 08-01-2014 20:22 Debug Message: Activation successful.

While i dont face the flashing Texts i stil have trouble with my Nvidia GT 750M as well - the Game is running fine with the second Card and stable 20 FPS ( Intel HD Graphics 4600 ) however with the 750M the Game is running @ 15 - 25 FPS on the Main screen and around 7 - 15 FPS in Design Mode ( V-Sync on and off - doesnt make a Difference ) which should not be the Case , i dont know if it is just the wrong Driver for the Nvidia Card (340.52 ) or the lacking support for Galciv 3 from Nvidia at

you can replace Ram on most of the Laptops - even Hardrives if needed - however its a bit more expensive then a Desktop Version. Graphic Cards and CPU are permanently attached to the Mainboard of a Laptop so no replacement here - however for most of the Games a Laptop will work well in medium or high Settings ( if you dont buy the average Crap from your local Electronic Superstore ) btT : I replace my Hardware every 3 Years ,but only in Parts recently i bought a FX8350 and a R
Any Chance for a Import Feature of old Gal Civ 2 Designs ? That Way I dont need to rebuild them in Gal Civ 3 - a huge Timersaver in my Opinion
ooh new Chances to build large Scale Starships - i am in [e digicons]B)[/e]
Thanks a lot ,that helped me out. the grafic Bug is gone now Now i can throw these Beasts into Battle :LOL: btw - where is the Custom Ship Style Button gone ? I want to save my Ships into a Custom Ship File,so i can use them from Startup in any Game
I dont belive its just caused by a Parts Limitation - as i said i have older Designs (made with Dark Avatar)with about 1/3 more Parts than this one ,and they did not show up any Grafic Glitch
Helllo Its me - I am sitting here trying to create the last missing Ships for my Custom Race and while doing that,i tried out if my old Friend the Grafic Glitch is still present - [IMG]http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh74/BigGreenOrk/GC2TwilightOfTheArnor2008-04-111-1.jpg[/IMG] and yes he is [IMG]http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh74/BigGreenOrk/GC2TwilightOfTheArnor2008-04-1114-2.jpg[/IMG] Does anyone have a clue how to avoid this ? Because it is anyoing to create a Mother o
