If there ever is multiplayer for GC2, considering what happens in many other mp games, it might end up looking a bit like this:



Joking, of course, but if you've played mp anything, you know what I mean. And no, I am not advocating against mp for GC2 - I just thought this forum could use a bit more humor.

lol u noob sp only ftw

marshall: lol Very nice...love the 'f1337' liscence plate

Quality post Marshall!

awesome attempt at a romulan warbird! gj!

Okay, I have to ask this,Enigma any chance you'll upload thoses Battlestar ships onto a site like thegalacticcore?

I love the new show and I friggin' love your ships.

Love the NOOB killer! Wouldn't want to get hit with those icy hot stunnaz!

Here are a few of mine


The battleship, tried to make a galactica style ship but decided on this.





That is my favorite design of mine so far.

Thanks, Yog - I'm surprised anybody can actually read that! Now that I've got the stunnaz, I can't wait to tech up to Bling Stingaz!!

Love the Romulan warbird

Here is one of my massive "Louisiana" Class Battleships I made to fight the Iconian Refuge war.

Here is my "Concorde Mk III" in action. Right now it is the superior battleship in my galaxy. Using it I keep the peace, forcing aggressors to declare peace with thier weaker foes.

I dont understand what's going on in that picture above. The 2 frigates attacked with Beam attack and both scored 0 even though the Concord's don't seem to have any defences. It never happens like that in my games

Some basic stuff I made before (didn't have that much time)

F-100 Laser Jet (first 4 strength beam fighter)



SC-1 Runner (early scout)



SC-512 Astrolens (sensor unit)



ST-A Blitz Krieger (high volume transport)



So, nothing too fancy yet, though I do like them for now...

I coulda swore they have Titanium armor III if I remember right. Doesnt that give some protection even against beam? Maybe that was Mk II

Marshall wins at the GalCiv2 forums.

Anyone have any tips on how to extend the lenght of ships? I have a hard time making them longer and I have noticed some that have clearly been lengthened from the original hulls.

If you're using Kryo's Hull Mod, it's quite easy.

Just use a blank hull hardpoint as your base hull and attach the long beam to it (the bottom one on the extras list will do nicely), make sure to enlarge it to the max so you can still see the thing when you attach hulls to it. Then, simply attach one hull to the last hardpoint and another to the first... well at least that's one way to do it.

I used to use a another method but that'll make placing stuff on it much harder..... since the ship won't be centered in the viewer and when you zoom in you'll have a hard time getting the right angle to see some of the hardpoints.

The new version about to come out in 1.1 will rectify this for tose of use who dont use an external program to assemble our ships! We will be able to pan up and down etc using the left mouse button
Means we can finaly make the sort of ship we dreamed of creating

In short, you just keep building backwards.

In more details: I tend to use the long flat pieces right away when I start a new ship. They are for 2 basic purposes: 1) To extend the length of the ship. 2) To add more hardpoints all the way down.

Basically, I build the general structure of my ship with the long flat pieces then bulk it up with some of the bigger parts (generally those in the collectors edition tab). Once it's all bulked up to the basic shape I want, I start to add more details, protrusions etc. The current problem is that I can't see the end of my ship no matter where I look from (it's a big ship) like my dragon above.... I've done more on it now but I cant be sure if everything is placed correctly because the only way I can see it is from far away - there's just no way to actually get in close to its tail.

Looking forward to 1.1 - I've put all designs on hold until that comes out!

At some point, I am going to start using Darth's mod too..... I just wanted to use the plain vanilla set first to see what's possible.... and it's nearly limitless already, so between 1.1 and Darth's I think I could come up with basically anything in my head with enough time and patience!

here mine, it the first proper custom designed ship I made
I named it the Hyperion

Hopefully, no one else has created one and posted it here, but here's my weak atempt at a Tie Fighter ('cause I looked through all the posts to find one, and I didn't see one).

Specs:
Small-sized Hull
Single Ion Drive
Dual Laser Cannons (Mark 5)
Shields (Mark 3)



And... a larger image. Sorry about the colors (a little dark and hard to see the detail).

you have to upload it first to a website Vernholio. try and upload it to http://www.imageshack.us/ then post it

Hey All,

Please ignore my first post. In trying to "Edit" it I keep getting error pages. So, I'll re-post (Now that I know what I'm doing -- Thanks a lot for the info, therjw!!)

Anyway, my attempt at a Tie Fighter...

Are you saying that we can finally fine tune the looking direction in the build screen? I mean we can look at a specific spot now, not just the predefined directions on the build screen? That will be awesome if its true. Would love to see a light source on the bottom of the ship too, so I can see what it looks like on the underside as well.

By the way, what is the easiest way to post some screenies? I think I dont have my copy of photoshop anymore, so can I use printscreen and paste it to windows paint, unless anyone has a better Idea. I have several ships I want to show off but I dont want to frak it up.
