[quote who="Edladner" reply="96" id="3474655"] thanks Rand Johnson, just having fun till there is no worry of losing your ships on the next patch.[/quote] I'm not worried either. The good thing is we might get more ship parts to work with in the next update, I do know they are adding a feature that lets players make their own ship parts and save them. I am off to build a Klingon Bird of Prey.... [e digicons]}:)[/e]
[quote who="lowell4" reply="18" id="3474627"] I noticed an update yesterday. After it was done, I checked and it had turned off the Alpha testing in the beta test tab area. I paid a hundred bucks...I sure hope I get the new Alpha and Beta loads. Inside Steam options, the Alpha test link is missing.[/quote] I better check and see if mine are turned on...

XWerewolfX as everyone has tried to tell you WE DON'T KNOW when it will be released. How about this.... the next Alpha patch will be released...WHEN ITS READY!!!

Now I know what I want for my birthday next week.... Yup, a 3D printer. I just know the wife is going to say NO. [e digicons]:cylon:[/e]
[quote who="Avatar137" reply="92" id="3474604"] I was wondering what was taking you so long! Nicely done.[/quote] I was bound to get around to it, ya gotta know that. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Thanks for the compliment!
It just wouldn't be Star Trek without our beloved Klingon's... Klingon Battle Cruiser Concept. [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMajik/2014-06-21_00002_zps41a84b95.jpg~original[/IMG]
Battlestar Galactica style Colonial Battlestar. Built this one just to see if it was possible with limited ship parts until next update.

Edladner , Nice ship! One question though... Are you utilizing the the offset feature in the shipyard? I only ask because your ship appears to be stacked and not blended. The more you use the shipyard the better it gets.
When is the new patch to be released? I'm waiting like a kid on Christmas Eve for this! NEW TOYS!!!!!

I posted this same idea and request a few weeks ago on the Steam game forums and no one seemed that interested as there was no reply to my thread, I am glad to see I am not the only one that would like to see shipyard parts from GCII TOA ported over to GCIII. This would create an opportunity to create ships styles we couldn't get done in GCII. I say HELL YEAH!!!
Star Trek style NX Class.

I have been posting these ship screenshots on Facebook and have actually had people make requests to make certain ships. As a matter of fact some people on FB have actually gone and bought the Founders Elite Alpha after seeing what I've been able to reproduce while still testing the game. I hate to say it but I am having a blast with the Shipyard as you can see. I cant wait to see the revised Shipyard.

Here is another version of an ST Galaxy class I did. [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMajik/2014-06-09_00026_zps69724f35.jpg~original[/IMG] Steering away from Star Trek style ships here is is one off the top of my head. Think of US Navy meets BSG meets Babylon 5. Naval Aviation being one of my hobbies I wanted to make a ship that had resemblance to a modern US Navy Aircraft Carrier [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n316/MerlinzMa
To keep this idea in the scope of reality then all Dev's need to do is limit the scope of a Mech hull to TINY size. Yet, allow player to research weapons and countermeasures options for Mech suits, There is really no need for HUGE mechs for combat. This fits into the reality because as of right now mechanical combat suits are being developed and tested for soldiers.
HOLY SH%T!!! The new shipyard UI looks AWESOME!!!! I cannot wait to get a chance to use it! Holy MOLY! I love it!!!! I have done pretty well with the GCIII Alpha Shipyard given what we had to test with but the newer interface just look SO damn good and pretty easy to use as it was for GC 2. I am gonna go crazy making the ships I really wanted for GCII! I cannot wait to test it out! WELL DONE!!!
As a long time RTS gamer the idea of Mech combat on the space base or planetary level in not that far fetched. I do like the idea. I think this could be achieved with a Mech building factory that works the same as the shipyards. It would need some RTS aspects and can still be turn based. How about Planetary Base building with a Mech factory that can be researched and implemented for ground base combat
I think I finally got a decent looking Star Trek style Sovereign Class Star Ship. It looks pretty good on the game map too. This took three days to get right. Comments welcome.

You need to concentrate on researching. Unlock and research hull sizes to make bigger ships. Possibilities for making custom ships are endless and only limited by your imagination. Be BOLD and experiment with the shipyard. Try facing parts in different directions to make your ship stand out and look different from others.
Just use Steam and take a screen shot. That is what I used. Looking forward to seeing your ships. I know they are going to revise the shipyard. I can only hope it will be as good as the one from GC2. I know the Dev's told us not to have fun but once you get used to using the shipyard as it is it becomes quite addicting. I am enjoying it. [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] Maybe a little to much. I was up until 3 am last night messing with it. Will post my latest creati
