A little feedback just for the sake of conversation. Your ships are great as usual, but I don't get the organic looking bug legs for a cybernetic race? I suspect it may have something to do with the ship designer limitations.

I like your animation for the most part and I have had no performance problems with it. I am not a fan of the ship bouncing since ships don't bounce in space. I realize it is a personal preference and it is worth it to get the ships. I love the weapons animation.

Have you mentioned in any of your videos how you control oscillation. I have a devil of a time setting the range of oscillation.  

It did occur to me that the original race might have been insectoid. That is certainly an acceptable explanation. You would think that a cybernetic mind would choose something more mechanical but in BSG they chose the human form, so there you have it. 

Hey Gauntlet. Would you mind when you have time, to take some screen shoots of the ship sets and post them here or on Nexus. I love your work, but have to watch your videos to help decide what ship styles I want to use in my game and were. Thanks

Also, does your files on Nexus work with the GC3 1.3ver ?

Very good mod! Gratulations! Its working wonderful with 1.3

The reason the Kirani got a different colorscheme is because they use a default one, and a minor race was prioritized so the Kirani were given one used by nodoby.

I was thinking of commenting first when the next version was done, but heck, here we go. Long time (gc2 era) fan here, and "troggleballs" over at the nexus (a highly unfortunate name that kind of stuck, long story) and I must say I am really looking forward to this just as much as official releases. Whenever a new ship set is released I rework my existing factions and use the new ship sets and colors were they fit the best, and over time making the universe more and more diverse. I love every single ship set, and must also praise the creativity and diversity in the sets.

A small bit of criticism I have, which is really a nitpick, is that the "strengths and weaknesses" info on factions should not really outright say what strengths and weaknesses they have (that's what the stats info is for) but why, which is not the case of some. Again, really minor nitpick.

Gauntlet - it's been a while. I think the last time we spoke was you kudos'ing me for one of my ship designs.

Buuu-uuut I has a question.

Would it be possible for your next update to include more colour palettes? For increasing the variety of the ships already there both vanilla and modded.

Also - would it be possible to include a scroll bar on the ship selection menu when choosing a style/creating a new race?

At the moment on my 1200x1024 monitor the drop down menu reaches the bottom of my screen before reaching the bottom of the styles and I have to keep hitting "random" until I get the style I want when creating a new race.

Keep up the good work chappe!

Hey gauntlet, thanks for the reply.

It's a shame you cannot add a scroll bar function - my mouse does not have a scroll wheel as it's an older model logitech trackball mouse (as it's the only one I can actually use without being in agony) so I guess I'll have to make do for now. Thanks for the help old chappe.

As for number two - I'm looking forward to the 5 extra schemes and I'll look into the mod page now.

Thanks Gauntlet!

Blank sets remove the default designs, saving me from endless obsoleting them. Keeps my lists clean. Removing them has zero effect on anything else. 

Hhmm, have really enjoyed using your mods in single player but just tried to setup a LAN multiplayer with a friend and get the message that your factions can't be used in a multiplayer game. It seems the shipmates are the issue as I can't use the factions I created using your shipmates either - but a single swap to use the core shipmates and these races are fine - ditto, if I 'edit' your races to use a core shipmates then that works too. This is a real shame as it is not as though you are modding the game by adding your races - pse fix Stardock. We really need to be able to add in multiple races on the bigger maps.

You cannot use mods in multiplayer. This is not a problem Gauntlet can do anything about and you should go tell Stardock about it in a separate thread. I believe many have done so before as I also think they have stated it will be added in "later".

Hordesman - I absolutely get that you can't use MODS in multiplayer. My point is that Stardock trumpet the 100 players in multiplayer and it would be very boring to be ltd to just the core races. Shipstyles such as gauntlet's excellent work do not change the game settings and so should be allowed. Providing the race has been created using the in-game editor rather than rewriting the XML then they should be playable-and it greatly adds to the immersion if they can be given unique shipstyles. As Gauntlet's races are 'legit' in that they don't break the attributes, starting forces etc - then I cant see any reason why they should be barred from m multiplayer. Surely Stardock can provide a checking utility to alleged w them to be used. That was my point.

Indeed, and I'd happily drop the more mod stuff, like appearances, to comply. 

Alternatively, since it seems very unlikely this will be addressed soon, I'll double down and start offering additional mod content as supplements to GRM. 

Have you tried to allow mods in the options menu? Sounds like that is the one thing missing.
