[quote who="Wetballs" reply="11" id="3477828"] quoting post I was indeed expecting fun. Testing software isn't my idea of fun, sorry. How do I get a refund? If you paid $100 simply to play an unfinished game, you've got too much disposable income and should send me some of it. [/quote] Make a check out to me too. I can buy a few more copies of the Alpha for a few frie
Let me emphasize on Rover's reply.... ARE YOU INSANE???? I am having a blast testing this game and making my own custom star ships. Access to the Alpha and beta Phase testing means you will get EVERYTHING the game will have to offer when it goes gold. ALL DLC and future expansion games for GCIII. HELL, I was even offered to create ships for a future Mod for this game. Was $100.00 bucks worth it! HELL YEAH! So again I ask gbaran... ARE YOU INSANE?!
How about something original I created to play on Galactic Civilizations III alpha phase 3 test. This is the UFP ( Universal Federation of Planets) Fighter Assault Carrier Carl Stennis, CVS-21. This is a multi-role attack and defense carrier for assaults, fleet defense and rescue operations. Carrier is large scale, can house two fighter and bomber squadrons capable of attacking and defending itself. Comments welcome. [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMajik/2014-07-05

[quote who="erischild" reply="146" id="3477581"] This is offered as an argument/plea for design-your-own-starport. It is named "Orbiter". It is also an attempt to do complexity through simplicity. There are 6 total parts to the ship. A Cargo starter, where the ship under construction would go, and five copies of an Altarian part. The copies were sized and nested into a set of concentric rings making a disk. Each ring was then given a set of rotations

Wolf, I am going to attempt your EVE ship. I will look for schematics. Give me about a week and I'll post pics of it here. It looks doable. Rand.
Here are my first ships from Alpha 3 Shipyard. It took quite awhile to get used to the new interface. Having lost all the ships from the Alpha 2 Shipyard I am trying to recreate them all again. Thank God for screenshots. First ship in pictures was just messing with shipyard to get used to new interface.

[quote who="wolfleader01" reply="128" id="3477210"] I have a request for all you amazing ship builders! If anyone is up for the challenge, try building the NYX super carrier from eve online! That was one sexy ship that I piloted a while ago [/quote] If you got schematics for the ship I'll give a good shot.
No fog of war??? It looks like Cylon Resurrection Ship. Looks mighty good to me!
Trump, That is some serious ship building. One of the best original designs I've seen yet here. Good Job!
Avatar... I have done that too. I had a few ships custom ships I built bass ackwards and didn't realize it until I played them on the map. Your in good company bro... LOL.
[quote who="Avatar137" reply="110" id="3475729"] Was playing around with the designer last night and did something I don't know how. When viewing the ship in the game it always flies backwards! I like the design but can't figure out how to fix this without changing the design... Sometimes a little knowledge can be very dangerous! [/quote] This happens when you get confused and build it facing backward, On some parts it really hard to determine fore and aft
Thanks for the explanation mormegil!
[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="4" id="3475418"] ^Your a genius! I thought it was either me going blind or the new invisible icons we have been waiting so long for. DARCA. [/quote] At first I thought I researched some hide your planet cloaking tech. Cant invade a planet if they cant see it, Right? [e digicons]:cylon:[/e]
Talking to another Alpha tester Via steam chat we looked up the file paths for colonized planets icons and the file path in planet art def.xml thumbnails file paths are missing and were not re-added. This needs to be fixed.
Glad to see i am not the only one that has noticed colonized planet icons are missing from menu.
But before the update all colonized planet icons showed up in the menu. Why not now? That is what I am wondering.
Playing with Alpha 3 tonight I noticed none of the planets I colonized show as icons in the menu. Its just a black circle with nothing there with no planet icon.

To sum up the Alpha 3 update after looking it over only one word to describe it comes to mind.... OUTSTANDING! I cant wait to start over again and start a new empire with bigger and BADDER Star Ships! WAY TO GO STARDOCK!!!
[quote who="Edladner" reply="103" id="3475093"] I love that fighter, I would use that in the game. [/quote] When we get tactical combat with combat screen I do plan to use it and have it stationed on Carriers.
Anything that can go right is a matter of luck. Anything that can go wrong is a matter of fate. This is how I interpret Murphy's law. However I will not debate this. Take it on faith. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
How about some Romulans? Here is my concept for a Romulan Warbird.

[quote who="androshalforc" reply="23" id="3474836"] Quoting Rand Johnson, reply 22Murphy goes both ways. Hope for the good Murphy. murphys law : anything that can go wrong will go wrong [/quote] And anything that can go right will go right... As I said Murphy's Law goes both ways. But again this is software code we are dealing with so again you might be right :).
I think just to round off Star Trek ships, build one Romulan Warbird class and one Cardasian Galor Class Cruiser. After that probably whatever comes to mind as I get inspired. You know we never would have been able to build ships this good in GalCiv2. The shipyard is so well rounded its just going to get better and better with the updates. I predict GalCiv III will be Game of the Year 2015-2016 because of people like us testing it. It just keeps getting better.
