Show off your ship designs 2007!

Ship designs from around the world!

Last year, we had a thread in which people showed off some of the great ship designs they created with Galactic Civilizations II.

With the expansion pack adding so many new components and so much free form support, we'd love to see the cool things players create.

The cool thing in the expansion pack is now you can save your creations as templates and then assign the computer players to make use of those ships in various roles. Combined with the capability of creating your own custom opponents, now you can create your own sci-fi universe within GalCiv without modding.

Aha my oopsie

I see your line of thought now.

The Battlestar images have been made in an external application or two. i am sure the guys will be happy to tell you which programs they used etc.

if you are thinking of building a model or two then the best of luck to you

Cool designs... i'm working on one at the moment. not too long till i put it on. but i need to know how to take screenshots. does anyone know how to take them?

hit the print screen button and then transfer to a paint shop

but you have to exit the game without ending it

LostHero try this link > Screenshot Captor
The program allows you to take multiple images whilst in the game and then edit them and use effects from its own interface. Plus its free

see ya later.

I love the ships on here, and I have made a few of my own. Due to my view of the galaxy, during some games, as needing a good police force to keep things stable, I have created some "police" ships.

This seems to be a good place to ask for help on a particular ship design. I'm trying to, more or less, 'copy' the Haulmaster long-range freighter pictured in the second post of this thread, in the sense that I'm trying to design a ship with a very large, flat hull. I just can't wrap my mind around the right parts I need to get all those flat beams connected as they are in the picture. Does anyone have any theories? I PMed Bingjack about it, but I'm curious as to what others have in mind.

Generally my attempts to create a flat-topped ship like that end up terribly inefficient (though that's not saying the Haulmaster is any better) or the parts just don't connect right and end up jagged and lumpy, whereas the Haulmaster is actually rather streamlined in how flat and seamless it looks.
