Reply to Day one Crusade bugs (post them if ya got them) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

The ship templates all seem so messed up. Various alternate ship templates all having the EXACT same set up, but the description describes them differently. For example, one template saying it is equipped with a Fast Recharger, but it has no such component. This is just one example.

My biggest hope for Crusade in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

There is a single change which I would LOVE to be implemented with Crusade, which will give the biggest change to gameplay for the better: Nebulae (nebulas?) should block sensor line of sight (as they would in the real world). Why? Introduce meaningful terrain to the map. A much needed change to the current bland galaxies where the terrain features are pretty meaningless. Ability to sneak fleets around the map - allows for guerril

Reply to 1.7 Patch Change Log (Release 4/21) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Fantastic improvements and fixes, thanks Stardock! I especially love the detailed tooltip on the Sensors - it even works in the fleet window! Sadly none of the other ship stat tooltips do. Could they also be enabled in the fleet window, just for consistency? Also, the Tactical Speed tooltip still says "Missing Info". Could this tooltip get an overhauled detailed one like the new Sensors tooltip, explaining what it does and giving numbers?

Reply to Nerf to Sensors in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I don't understand why people want things to scale with map size. Doesn't that just remove the point in having a bigger map? If things take too long or the map seems to big for what you have, then surely you should just play on a smaller map, as clearly you aren't a fan of the big ones with the added challenges?

I'm loving the sensor change! The straightforward linear increase with additional sensors was ridiculous. Now you have to actually build sensor ships into fleets, and put thought into positioning them around your borders. Space is big after all.

Reply to Please review Ashes of the Singularity in Ashes of the Singularity GalCiv3 Forums

Congratulations on the release. A few questions questions on conveying information that I couldn't find answered anywhere (including the wiki - early days I guess): Different coloured weapons on the unit card - What do these mean? Most are what I expect is a standard blue, but there are also red and tan ones. Surely these mean something? Each weapon lists a "DPS per unit" - Is this per bullet/missile/photon, or is it per weapon/launcher (so two missile lau

Reply to An easy fix to a common complaint in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Taslios" reply="12" id="3621852"] The thing of it is that on the really really big maps if you do not have sensor stacking or engine stacking it becomes almost impossible to explore and then conduct any sort of real war that does not take a mass number of turns higher than my boredom level. I've suggested this many times but they really truly need to make a "map size" variable into a lot of the techs. Base = Map Size *X + Bonuses&nb

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III: Mercenaries adds New Factions, New Ships, Mercenary Bazaar and more! in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

I see in the Gamespot video that there is a mercenary ship that has "75% evasion", yet in the same video the evasion stat is still shown NOWHERE (Ship Designer nor Fleet Details), nor is it explained anywhere. I expect that Thrusters and Tactical Speed are also still a complete mystery in terms of mechanics. Are the combat mechanics and ship stats pertaining to combat ever going to be explained (and even made visib

[quote who="Go4Celerity" reply="232" id="3613802"] Quoting node10, reply 211 Every linear additive stacking bonus needs looking at in this game. Honestly, you should look at how daft Drives get with this sort of abuse: fleets have so many moves they're effective teleporting stacked death around the galaxy at will

Reply to How does Tactical Speed affect battles? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Sorry for the necro, but thrusters, tactical speed, and acceleration are still all completely undocumented in the game. This is a pretty huge oversight in my opinion. The Tactical Speed stat in the ship designer still has "Missing Info" as its tooltip. This makes me sad [e digicons]:'([/e] . I don't like mysterious mechanics in a 4X, and just having a tooltip saying "higher tactical speed

Reply to Maps are too boring in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="MacsenLP" reply="9" id="3595838"] I'd make nebulas larger and nearly impassable without tech. It would make the map a lot less open, military starbases might actually become useful GC3 could really benefit from some sort of genuine "terrain" features.[/quote] I agree ever so strongly with this. In fact, during the beta, my questions to Paul during the streams were pretty much only ever concerning the map and how incredibly boring and empty it
