I purchased Galactic Civilization II Gold Edition about a week ago and have not gotten any sleep since then. I love it. I started to download ship packs from the galciv2.com library. I have been reading post after post for the entire weekend on how to get the ships to appear in the game. I have not yet been able to get anything to work. I have downloaded many ship packs and none work. I tried the Kligon, ImperialShip pack, Kryos Hull system, LOC ship packs 1-2 and 3, Nothing shows up in my build screen. I have tried a new game with and without using the battle of the gods. I checked each file to make sure that it have an. xml and shipcfg file. They all do. I then make sure that the file name matches the race like S2 = Yor s0 = humans. etc. I tried playing different races and nothing shows up.

Maybe it how I expect the ships to show up. I am simply going to the shipyard and clicking on the templates tab. Should I see them there? I also click on new ship and nothing but the default ships show for that race. I am coping the ship pack files to \\...\My Documents\My games\Gc2DarkAvatar\Ships. Can someone help this beginner.
