Here are two premade files for quickly creating new ship styles:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ixs0y4z20qdwvt/BASIC_SHIPSTYLE_FILES.7z?dl=1
(you don't have to register, just try to download two times )
You need at least six ships (downloaded via workshop or created),
tiny, small, medium, large, huge and cargo.
Better are ten ships (tiny, small, medium, large, huge, colony, freighter, transport, constructor, support)
Here's the readme (also in the archive) how to:
---------------------------
Let's go:
1. Create a new folder NEWRACE (i.e. "Klingon" in Mygames/galciv3/mods
2. Create a folder in NEWRACE named "Game" --> Mygames/galciv3/mods/NEWRACE/Game
3. Copy FactionShipStyleSetDefs_NEWRACE.xml and ShipClassDefs_NEWRACE.xml into Mygames/galciv3/mods/NEWRACE/Game
4. Open FactionShipStyleSetDefs_NEWRACE.xml and ShipClassDefs_NEWRACE.xml with notepad. press strg+h. Replace all "NEWRACE" with your Faction name ("Klingon" i.e.)
Save both files and close.
5. Open two folders/files: a) Open ShipClassDefs_NEWRACE.xml again (muhaha!!!!) ... and the folder
Mygames/galciv3/designs
6 . Go to Mygames/galciv3/designs. Sort by file extension or type, choose and copy the ship name you want to add; i.e "Adv. Tie Interceptor_BFD2E70F261A44EFB596E3221A2EAFFF"
Your desktop should look like this:

"TINY_F" (tiny)

"COLONY_S" (cargo)
and all
"FREIGHTER_C" (cargo)
"TRANSPORT_C" (cargo)
