[quote who="Lord_Rasalom" reply="54" id="3490079"] I have one question (for the moment) Do SD plan on introducing carriers into the game; like a fighter hangar module? I would love to build big-ass starships with ballistic, beam weapons, torps. and fighter/bomber hangars... Or this is just too much to ask? [/quote] Carriers were confirmed to be in the game a long time ago. They are currently disabled and will be added when the combat viewer g

[quote who="Seilore" reply="30" id="3489493"]This was in Galciv2, Tiles aren't red in Galciv3 as they only appear with the specific techs/buildings that are available to choose to build anywhere that meets a certain % land. In one of the Dev streams a few weeks back it was mentioned that they may put a tech toward the end of the tech tree that will allow one to build on all possible tiles that have x% land on them. I don't see that in the game currently, was wondering if t

Haven't tried it yet, I know in GCII you could increase your ship range with starbases, best bet is either to colonize a planet or research life support.

Yes, provided it has something in it's zone of control in can mine, like Duranthium or Antimatter.

Build constructors, send them to starbase and then you can add modules. Most modules have to be researched first.

Look in the Founder's Vault at the image Ship Designer - Advanced Mode Toolset, we will be able to change ship colors. So just a bit of patience is required.

[quote who="moi-meme" reply="45" id="3489033"] Just an idea for planets: instead of being a flat hex grid, it could appear as a 3D model (sphere with an hex grid imposed on it) that you would rotate to place your building on. It is not that complicated to implement, and it sure would feel more like a planet! [/quote] What value would this add? Look good? With the current setup I can see the layout at a glance and it is easy to place improvements, with your suggest

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="4" id="3488751"] Rhonin, can we manually make changes to the information in the folders or does it have to be done at stardocks end for the corrections to show in game? I can pull up the docs as well and run through and correct but I don't want to break my game. [/quote] In theory, yes. But, I don't see the point when SD will correct them themselves, especially if descriptions might be rewritten.</

The concept art for the Xendar from the Founder's Vault is rather nice looking, any plans for the civilizations to make an appearance in GCIII? And speaking of the Founder's Vault is it ever going to get any new content? Are trade routes going to be limited in number? Because 9 or so on an immense map isn't a lot. Will shipyards be upgradeable like starbases? Will space monsters(they were in GCI) make a reappearance?

Looked at the files the problem apperas to be the tag true , the question is if this is intentional or an oversight. The techs that follow it also have it, AltarianApprovalFocus, AltarianPlanetaryRefection, AltarianSerenityTech. And they don't unlock anything so I believe the tech isn't implemented yet. This is true for the Terrans as well.
