Reply to Missile Assister shows as 13 mass, but only adds 9 in GalCiv III Support Stardock Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="3" id="3689297"] Basically, what is happening is that something will advertise its base mass but what it actually uses applies all the various bonuses you have. What I think the UI should do is update the advertised mass to be what it will actually use and then put into a tooltip what it would have orignally consumed without your tech. [/quote] Yes, this would avoid a lot of confusion. I always design my own ships when I play.

Reply to GC3 Crusade 2.5 opt-in fleet battle bug? in GalCiv III Support Stardock Forums

There is a bug that has existed for a long time (at least since the first release of Crusade) that makes support ships appear at the front of the battle, when they are really at the back. I'm saying "really at the back" because that's where they are supposed to start combat according to the GalCiv III docs that I read. I posted a thread about this quite a while ago, with a video clip that shows the problem: https://forums.stardock.com/484035/pa

[minor bug] "Turns Remaining" value is wrong after survey ship get a +15% bonus anomaly in GalCiv III Support Stardock Forums

Just after a survey ship scans an anomaly with a "+15% of current research project" reward, the "Turns Remaining" tooltip for my current project is wrong. It usually shows more turns than it should. After I play through to the next turn, the Turns Remaining is updated to the correct value.

[minor bug] Tooltip for current research is always "N/A Turns Remaining." after loading a savegame in GalCiv III Support Stardock Forums

Post title says it all. After I load a savegame in Crusade, the tooltip for the Technology box that shows my current research project always says "N/A Turns Remaining." It will show a proper value after I've played through a full turn. This problem existed in the 2.32 and 2.33 builds, and still exists in the 2.5 opt-in build.

Smaller galaxies can sometimes be missing some of the exotic resources. Depending on the resource, there might be a Shipyard 'mission' project that you can build to get small quantities of it. The option to speak to the civ you're at war with will eventually be reenabled and you can negotiate a peace treaty.

Sometimes I will trade (give really) a bunch of my older ships to a weak AI ally. They never seem to just form them into fleets, and the ships end up dying one at a time.

Reply to Ground Invasion Demo in GalCiv III Future Ideas Stardock Forums

I like where you're going with it, but I didn't quite understand what to do. Your idea is definitely going beyond what Stardock attempted to implement in Crusade. More interactive and not just "place your legions and see what happens".

They also don't try to unanchor them and slowly move them to their nearest colony.

Nah. It seriously needs to be explained better to the player. Like I had no idea you could even stack multiple units on the same tile. So I was losing 40:1 battles I should've effortlessly stomped. So after that is fixed I'd make actually placing the units less taxing on my mou

Reply to So what is the point of the United Planets now? in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

This happened to me in my last game on build 2.31.4. There was an unimportant proposal on "1% tax to fund Intergalactic Tourism". Could not be more boring. Out of nowhere, Torian and Thalian both defy the vote and leave the UP. Why?? Next election the UP chair proposed the "All UP members declare war on UP defiers" and it passes. Those two races (who were both doing OK before defying) end up surrendering within 25 turns. It made no sense at all.

Says "Pirate Units Lost" after I destroy an Altaran shipyard in GalCiv III Support Stardock Forums

Minor bug. After I destroy an Altaran shipyard, the end of battle summary says "Pirate Units Lost" on the opponent side instead of "Altaran". I don't know if its relevant, but I believe this shipyard was inherited by the Altarans after another AI surrendered to the Altarans (much earlier in the game - not recently).
