[quote who="colsona" reply="3" id="3569916"] Ok, stupid question but how do I correctly identify the base component to move? Because I've tried to do this with no luck. So maybe I'm using the component.

[quote who="naselus" reply="6" id="3569889"] It might be worth seeing what happens if you re-activate the cloaking devices that are presently commented out, too - they might have component types that are usable in the same manner. [/quote] ooh yeah, I'd forgotten about those! I suspect it will 'work' as a container, so long as you give it a handled PrimaryStat. I expect the cloak itself wasn't included because the AI couldn't handle

The problem here is the ship designer measuring something about how far back the rear-most component is from your starting point to determine how big it thinks the ship is. To fix it, you can go to the ship designer and move the base component forward on the Z axis, that will make your design thumbnails go from this: to this: <img src="http://i.imgur.com/4

Yup, I found this one and put out a little patch/fix https://forums.galciv3.com/467065/page/1/#3568838 for it a while back. In the previous dev stream Paul said this had been fixed for 1.10, but its not in the optin.
You can always use the EscortCarrierModule type, that's currently unused :P

Guys, with 1.03 the designs need to go in to the SteamGames\SteamApps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\Designs folder, not the mydocs version, else the shipstyle won't work properly. I don't know if this has changed with 1.10, but I'll check that out (edit, it appears this *does* work, I'm surprised!).

[quote who="naselus" reply="3" id="3569115"] This is largely why I unlock markets, farms and entertainment from the start. Well, that, and the fact it's a bit ridiculous to have a space-faring civilization who have yet to master commerce, agriculture and entertainment.

Agreed on this. Economic tweaks to make you have to actually work to maintain a large empire - rather than it being inherently superior by default - are simply better. Also, I don't think research cost scales with map size but it definitely should.

On the dev stream this past friday Paul said that these were fixed in the latest 1.10 build - that may have been an unreleased version though.

As of yet no reports of further design-screen crashes with vB2! Next version will be out for the 1.1 patch and will be including a few designs by Echillion: his Sabre and Excelsior <img src="http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w31/paulkember/2015-06-16_00001_zpsgikfj

I think the trick will be getting the AI to follow starts like that on a 'regional' or perhaps per planet basis, once the AI is able to specialize individual worlds. I doubt that's something we'll be able to do from our end though, that ball's over in Stardock's court.

Cranky, this will change how the AI plays races, not how you do - so I wouldn't really expect to see much change except for the Terrans possibly working a little better in your playthrough :) Rspiccaver, are these AI tweak similar to Naselus' ones?
