Does this still work or nah?

Cool

i'm having the same problem this ship it used to work now it crashes the game just clicking on it in ship designer, i beleive it's to do with reaching the RAM limit, i don't know how but Gal Civ 3 has wrecked it's RAM optimisation in general recently so it's using up stupid amount

Damn, lol I thought I had this one working, too. I got it so I could build and equip it, but the graphics for it glitched up and it is now invisible in battles...

I've posted about the problem on the technical support section of the forum, I'll post any updates here as well.

had a similer problem to Volundz. When i try to use the design in game by selecting it on the designer tab the game just stops and crashes

Sorry to hear that Volundz. When you say equip, what exactly do you mean? is it as soon as you subscribe to the workshop item / or open it up in the designer / or start building one / or have finished bulding one? Is it just these workshop ships or does it happen with anyone elses? have you tried opening a tech support ticket with the developers?

Also, to anyone else, has anyone else been having this problem?

Looks awesome, but whenever I try to equip this one it crashes my game

Wowowow.

This is absolutely astonishing!

very good

ah... darn. Sorry. Guess I'll give it a shot with a new game, see how that goes.

Anyway, thanks for your speedy reply.

if you read some of the earlier comments, you'll see it's been a recurring problem for me and a number of other people when it comes to new subscriptions appearing in existing games (they will appear in games started after you subscribed). Some people seem to have got around this, but how they did so still eludes me, sorry.

won't show* even after i restarted my current game several times.

This looks awesome. You got way more patience than I do, because most of my ships look sort of.... hill billy... or ramshackled like the Orks...

Anyway, I subscribed and the design show in my existing game. I've got the massive hull tech, most of engineering researched... is there a list of tech requirements to have this ship avaliable in ship design?

not a great deal i was able to do with this as the game scales your ships by their hull class, not by how much in the way of comestic parts you put on them. The only work around I've found for this was to put some 'invisible' (really small) parts floating out in front and behind of the sword frigate to get the game to 'shrink' the actual ship model in comparison to the cruiser.

As for the official scale, I was working to the actual battlefleet gothic miniatures scale more than the 'real' ship stats, as it's more aesthetically pleasing than having some tiny arse escort ships that you can barely see (bearing in mind that i still have to make a cobra destroyer and marauders for the small and tiny scales, while still having them actually be visible).

Very good. The only thing that's feels off is the overall size of this ship. The scale of both this ship and your Sword class compared to eachother is off and also compared to the other ships in the game. Hell, the Sword class is supposed to be 1.6 kilometers long! The Overlord class is over 5 kilometers. They seem much too tiny... Is there anyway that we can increase the size of these ships in the designer?

Hi,
What piece(s) did you use for the prow in your Sword and your Overlord?

it's working now, i appreciate the help, thanks!

@Ghazef they do for me. All subscribed to ship designs have appeared in my ongoing game. The only issue is that you have to restart Gal Civ III before they show but if you load up an existing game, the design should show, at least they always shows for me.

On a different note, any ETA on the other ships? These are definately the best ship designs on the workshop!

as Eumenesthecardian said, subscribed designs will only appear in games you start AFTER you subscribe to them, they won't appear in games you started before subscribing. (yes, it is a bugger)

it should be under large hulls, did you subscribe then go into a game you already started?, cause i think you have to start a new game for the new ship designs to appear

okay, i'm terribly sorry for this, but i subscribed and went into my game and researched the max hulls to see if this ship were available...but it doesnt appear. i am extremely impressed and in awe of the design, but cant seem to use it. please help

yeah i use the console command to unlock all the techs at the start of the game if i want to design something, i dunno why they removed it again since having it on the main menu worked in Gal civ 2

Thanks for that! getting to seeing them in different colours is great!, but a real nightmare to arrange until they implement the ship designer from the main menu!

that's fine i've just uploaded some of the prettier ones to my profile, i'll do some other schemes if you want :D

i'd prefer you uploading them to steam if that's ok?

do you want me to upload a few to steam or shall i email you the lot cause i've got about 15-16 images

please, yes!

i've done a bunch of screenshots with a basic terran scheme and a orange kryynish scheme of the overlord, the sword class and them together if you want them

if anyone who's used this has any screenshots of it in different colour schemes, I'd appreciate being able to see them if you are willing to share, thx.

Wow. This is FANTASTIC!

I can understand that. I ended up giving up on a whole ship back back in GalCiv2 days. Still, kudos to you. The shp is still fantasticly realistic.

It would be skill were they my original designs but they're not. This is not so much skill as it is mild-to-moderate OCD causing me to want it as accurate as possible to the original designs.
The OCD was constantly warring with my lack of patience, leading to some real tearing-out-of-hair moments

Have you thought about doing a Battle Barge or Space Marine Strike Cruiser? They would look amazing with your level of detail. XD I'm in awe of your skill.

hadn't planned on doing any of the other races, but i might do at some point. With regards to battleship class, I was going to do the Retribution class, i might do an emperor class afterwards (was already thinking of making a mars class battlecruiser for a carrier version by modifying this one)

By the Emperor's Holy Light! That is fantastic!!!! Please tell me you're going to do BattleBarges and the Emperor Class ship?

do you have any plans too build ships of other factions like Tau or Eldar?

thnx great mod

yay im going too add my very own too my adeptus astartes

of course

so can this be played with any faction?

nice vessel

yup, retribution battleship for huge, currently working on cobra destroyer for small, and a wing of marauder bombers for tiny

But you're planning on doing one of the Imperial Navy Battleships? Basically Hull size I'm wondering about rather than the specific ship.

there's a possibility I might do the space marine ships, but I wasn't that much of a fan of their design over the imperial navy ships...... that said, the prows would certainly be a hell of a lot easier to make.....

damn I cant like this hard enough

A work of art. Will you be filling in the gaps with Strike Crusier and Battleship/Battlebarge?

the chaos ships look quite a bit different (in battlefleet gothic at least)

nice now all i need to do is repaint it red and slap a word eaters flag on there :)
