Thanks, that should help quite a bit. 

Thank you. I've been playing a very long 3f game but only saw the 3h version via Nexus. I'll install 3h on a PC other than the one with the 3f game. I decided to play as the Borg and am dominating. I'll play as the Federation in the new 3h game. One thing I've noticed is that when I create my own Borg ships they are white and blue rather than the green / black of the system generated ships. Why is that?

Great mod, by the way. The best Star Trek game I've played in a long, long time.

Borg are intended to be very OP. If I could I would make them AI only.

Sounds like you may be missing the Gradient maps?

EDIT:

Just did a test on creating user design with the borg, mine turn out the right colors:-

Playing a game with tech trading turned off to see the impact, interesting results so far. The Federation is by far the strongest faction when the races must rely on the strength of their own tech tree only. They are ahead by a very wide margin which is an interesting result compared to all the other games i played. The Klingons can hold their own, the new building that gives an extra 20% research makes a big difference.

Astus here.

I noticed that the Borg miss stations so I just uploaded mine.

Feel free to add them to this mod.

Thanx! I will add them next patch!

I just tried to install the mod and the game crashes after the load second new graphic screen. I will admit I am a little lost with all the steps for installation. I followed the instructions in the main mod. I kind of got lost after than there was no instructions for the patch or the string fix. I just deleted GC3 and doing a fresh install.

I would like to request a little better install instructions like with the main mod which was very helpful.

Installation

ALWAYS Remove any Previous Versions of this mod, ALL folders, as I regulary have a Folder restructure and edited some filenames to be more inline with the rest of the mod.
If you do not remove the old version you will have duplicate entry errors.

Make a back up of GradientMap.png & GradientMapLights.png located in ...Steam/steamapps/common/Galactic Civilizations 3/Gfx

Place the two folders located in: [For You Game Directory] here:-

...Steam/steamapps/common/Galactic Civilizations 3 (Or where ever you installed the game)
Overwrite when prompted.

Place the two folders located in: [For your My Games - GalCiv3 Directory] here:-

Your game was crashing due to the Text Overflow bug.

That was my problem then. I did not extract to anything. I tried placing the files manually.

Thanks, look forward to playing your mod.

Let me know if you have any further install issues.

Feedback on the mod is welcome also!

I placed the folders manually as well but I text files I dropped into the respective folder they were supposed to be in..

Everything is working well on turn 25 atm.

Just finished a game playing Klingons on immense map, tight clusters, with tech trading turned off, 0.3h Patch 1.1, here are some observations no specific order:

1. Without tech trading the Federation is by far the strongest race, their influence is overwhelming. I see patch 1.2 addressed this

2. The Klingons are about just right, not sure what the latest tweaks do but they play well, those Polaron missiles are absolutely deadly

3. The AI does not build fleets well, the federation kept coming at me with vast amounts of single dreadnoughts, they were impressive but I was able to cut them down with Cruiser fleets since I could use all my logistic points. Towards the end of the game the Feds built larger fleets but never to the full extent possible, game bug?

4. The BORG are well designed and OP on purpose but without tech trading they seem to fall a bit behind, they lasted but where no threat to the Federation or the Klingons once I was able to build up. They were somewhat isolated which helped a lot too.

5. Diplomacy seems to work well with the latest tweaks, I was universally hated in the end due to the infinite "War Monger" penalty but that was to be expected 

6. It was quite a surprise to see the minor races colonize 2 or 3 planets, they did not build up fleets or thry to conquer planets but it is going in the right direction, beefing up their ability to defend themselves would be cool. Having an old minor race develop into a major due to some kind of game event would be cool.

7. The base game bugs about the multiple "one of" buildings is definitely there, all AI planets had multiple versions of capital buildings and precursor buildings, in the end I must have had 15 tech capitals Had 211 planets though.

8. Precursor anomalies are still OP for the human player, AI did not touch them

9. For some reason the AI likes to station overwhelming numbers of ships in shipyards and planets instead of using them to ravage their enemy. Kind of a waste actually.

10. The AI concentrates too much on asteroid fields, if you build them strategically you can use them as an early detection system and stop the AI from doing real damage before your fleets can come to the rescue, helps defeat cloaking too . Should be a priority assigned where higher lever targets are taken out first.

11. Related to the above, the AI will make a couple attacks in one turn but never to the full extent of its capacity and usually only against asteroid fields. 

12. The Romulans seem a bit weak in this game maybe due to tech trading being turned off, They should be a turtle type of race with heavy fortifications but inside their territory they should be very strong. I found them quite easy to overtake. 

13. The Ferengi need work, right now they feel like a minor race. Not sure what to do there since they should be money oriented and in a game where only military domination counts they are at a very big disadvantage. maybe beef up their ability to form alliances?

14. Still hate the starbase mechanics with a a passion. In the end I had over 150 starbases and every time I researched a new component I had to click 450 times to put it on all of them. 3 clicks times 150, one to pick the starbase, double to tell it to build. That's insane and I am getting repetitive stress injuries from it Hopefully that gets fixed soon.

15. Minor races have to stop threatening me when they have a score of 100 and I have a score of 57000, That feels wrong especially when the diplomacy screen shows them as saying "Please don't hurt me"

Overall the game feels good, might be time to go to 0.4 LOL

Hehe, on the Horizon! Three new major factions! (Minors converted)

I am at a bit of a loss for the Ferengi military wise too tbh.

Maybe I pushed the "defend" values to far.

I have pushed starbase minimum radius to 6 in thelast patch. Should help a bit with this.

Hmm, I play the Feds mostly so have not come across this with them.

Hey there, been playing the mod and it's absolutely awesome.  Such great work, way more interesting, challenging and varied than the main game.  Thank you, and hope you keep it up!

Glad your enjoying it! Thanx for the compliment!

Just realised what that means, the AI actualy built the Federation Council! Woot Woot, I was not sure they would build the Uniques!

Patch notes from 0.4 Alpha which I am still working on, bit slow going due to been called into work on my days off!

• Sensor Techs now effect Colonies.
• Base races have been hidden.
• Start Date changed to 2150.
• Vulcan, Andorian & Tellerite changed to Major Factions.
• Added 6 Ship Appearances 2 each for the new factions.
• Changed Homeworld descriptions to be more informative.
• Federation changed to United Earth Republic. (To better match the star date & new Factions. More inline with canon for the time period.)
• Removed Encounters from Anomolies. (To give the AI the same advantages as players)

Hey Horemvore

First of all thanks for that awesome mod!

But sadly now comes the bad news (for me after all) All my games crash around round 40+ i never get until round 50.
I looked up into the debug files but as I am not familar with the games engine/mechanics at all i can't realy see what is the problem all i noticed is that everytime i get this specific CTD (wich is always on the same turn in a savegame, even after reloading 10 turns earlier) the debug file looks like this at the bottom.
