Replaces the Anomalies and greatly increases their diversity and coolness!Replaces all Mercenaries from the BazaarReplaces the Mines and Bazaar modelsReplaces the Pirate models and grants them a few starting ships!Adds additional Abilities!Adds additional Starting Ship Combos! KNOWN ISSUES and USE1) If you use this mod for your own ships/races/etc. a brief credit to this mod is appreciated. 2) Turn ship-trails off, I use engines as parts in turrets and hulls, it can be distracting.3) If you experience performance issues, it is most likely the result of the heavy use of animations in any/all of my ship models, or otherwise GC3's general issues. If you experience issues, I recommend either playing with less total races, less races utilizing the ship sets, or otherwise upgrading your PC. 4) Under no circumstances may you upload any of these ship designs or factions to Steam.THANK YOUPlease reach out and report any glitches/bugs, any ships with clipping or other issues. Also it would be great, if you end up adding to the designs using the custom components, for you to share them with the community! Please credit the mod if you do!Special thanks to: Horemvore for his helpful attitude and Diplomacy UI mod!R3bel02 for one of his logos. JP193 for submitting a design via the contest.Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more!

I'm not certain what you mean. But if you design a unique ship and use my custom parts, that ship will be designed by you and give you the credit. If you upload the design to steam, that's fine with me, since users can't duplicate a custom part.
A credit to the mod as a comment on the steam file would be very much appreciated.
I think that's fair?
Let me know if this answers your question, and I'd love to see what you come up with!
Perhaps drop some of the negatives that are associated with the egalitarian choices. Nearly every one of them carries with it some negative trait, such as a hit to morale for example.
There is also a curious issue with the mercenaries only using mass driver weapons despite having other weapons installed on their ships. Any insight on that one?
Great mod by the way.
That's a well known bug with be any custom shop being used in place of a game design.. including fleets made with the fleet editor. Basically... Since your designs don't specify a exact component or placement the game default renders the kinetic animation for all weapons.
Personally I think it was a mistake to depict weapons and components physically on our ship designs, as it results in this kind of silliness and the weapons fire from arbitrary points on the ship anyways.
Also thank you! Lol sorry... Posted too quick!
Greetings
Gauntlet, just WOW and really impressed with the MOD and the ship parts just what I wanted to use and you can have the full credit you deserve on every thing, I would like to do. Just the way ships sway like in the ocean or hover or bobbles or however you did it.
Midnight_Terran-Fleet and PubMaster's Space Works and zCroc's Naval-style revisited ship-pack from GC2: Twilight Of The Arnor were my favorite ship builders.
My Faction is called Adepta Sororitas from StarHammer 40k (from Dungeon III) funny stuff

May I ask, How do you feel about Steam? My GC2 and Fences is on StarDock and I do like StarDock alot.
Do you have a Steam Account? Its up to you but if you hold your roots in StarDock and up load your MOD onto Steam Workshop. You might be able to require some extra donations. I would add you to My friend's List.

He doesn't put his mod on steam atm, because he can't put it all in one piece IIRC.
Correct. Stardock... Despite early promises... Never came through for mod support on steam... Also, the fleet editor is not "full" and excludes certain designs.
If they did the fleet editor... I'd most likely provide shipsets on steam.
Currently though, I refuse to lower the quality of GRM by doing so, and I can't host the other cool stuff (replacements for mercs, mines, Bazaar, anomalies, etc.) Anyhow.
Uploading stuff now would only steal traffic away from the mod I suspect.
I have been thinking of offering one or two shipsets on steam as "advertising" for GRM...
But I digress...
Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm dealing with some job stuff at the moment... And playing too much battletech lol... But I'll get back to work on GC soon!
No Problems, I would like to help advertise by linking this thread with a link and say that the ship set was just the beginning of your awesome work. if that is ok with you, I could up load for you. Which ship set was you thinking of?
Anyways I tried using the faction solar system tool. It dose not work for me because of path ways. I could use some help writing out solar system with 3 or 4 habitable planets and have total of 8 planets plus a large asteroid field. plus some tips or links.
Thank you
There is a maximal limit for how many things you can have in one solar system IIRC.
If your very specific about the 3-4 planets, their class, and general type (ice/water/whatever) I'll try to make it for you. Because your probably an awesome person, and I know your offering to help me about the whole shipset stuff...
HOWEVER, regarding uploading my shipsets... I'm on Steam and will upload if I decide to. No one has permission to upload my content except me. Uploading my content without my permission will be met with general harassment by me and anyone I can leverage on my behalf and pursuit of the removal of my content according to Steam policy and I will relentlessly pursue your account being disabled. Furthermore, its honestly the most likely thing to get me to stop producing content for all of you.
You are free to upload your own content as you see fit, even if it includes my custom parts (as they cannot be duplicated by your uploaded ships)... a brief credit is appreciated, but if you forget, I'll simply remind you privately.
Thank you kindly!
There are 6116 downloads of Gauntlet's Race Mod without your advertisement nor publishing GRM on Steam Workshop. I don't think Gauntlet needs your help. GRM is the pinnacle mod for GCIII, please don't piss off the author.
Why don't you just design your own ships?
There is no need to harass the guy, he just meant well without knowing that it's a sore spot.
And unfortunately, do we even have other active modders? I know that the planet/star types mod is abandoned, and many others are outdated and don't seem to be worked on.
I have found no dreadnought come after researching huge ships for terran
was this an oversight
Another experience unrelated is on the trade screen the turns to research become not applicable and then mysteriously return to normal
Also how can the dalek ships go 39 hexes with large ships and 27 on medium with no experience
The downgrade of the durantium drive to two has made it obsolete and fast travel nearly impossible why is it only two in speed making ludicrous maps truly ludicrous unless you can magically achieve the dalek unbelievable speed of 39 hexes wow
Sorry no punctuation my phone is breaking
I see there is a patch now for 3.01 , maybe this will fix CTD after many turns. There was a ctd associated with multiple trade routes. I really just want to play and stop trying to fix this game. I post this in follow up to former reports I made of CTD.
Thanks and get that Durantium drive to 3 at least. I think the distances you go with drives should be DYNAMIC in proportion to the mapsize not static. And I am still puzzled about Dalek going 39 hexes lol
Have a great day and are my posts posting ?
DONT GIVE UP GAUNTLET YOU ARE TOO AWESOME !!
Thank You
JJ
Thanks everyone. Let me clear some things up.
1. Saint Mina is cool, and I'd like to help him as I started. My more severe comments are for anyone else reading. This topic of uploading content comes up every so often... I'm but flustered. It is hoped the severity of my attitude on the matter acts as a deterrent.
2. JJ, your comments have little to do with the mod. The Daleks probably have a survey ship super powered by anomalies... The durantium driver isn't handled by GRM. GRM isn't focused on balancing the game proper... Make a thread for others separately on the balance issues... Also drive speed is dynamic to map size I believe.
I'll look into the huge Hull issue with the Terrans, but I doubt it's a issue for others... Other people would likely have posted about that by now?
Thanks again everyone.
While Horemvore is around on the forums, I don't think he publically provides his mods anymore. Which is too bad because his work was top notch.
So yeah... I think I'm the only active modder. Admittedly the delivery of new content is slow, but the mod gets maintained version to version, I respond to posts and bug report, and I'll continue to do so.
Frankly the fact that I get donations for it is a good thing to keep me working on it. I'm always looking for a few bucks to finance my other hobbies lol...
Don't quote me on it, but I think he made the planet/star mod, and his other works, open source.
Ok, I feel like I have poke a Dragon and now he is eating me with ketchup.
Saint Mina is the leader of The Order of the Bloody Rose of the Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas on the planet Ophelia VII in the Ophelia System. My user name is GmOOnii and on Steam, its Sesshomaru so you all can call me Sess.
I do have the most up respect for your work, Gauntlet. I would not load up anything on Steam without your blessings.
I have been working on Adepta Sororitas custom faction on Steam workshop and I want to know, customizing your ship beam and missile turrets (my rail guns are to big to be put on a turret because in this game I played, rail guns are the spine of Capital ships ) to fit in Adepta ship set that is apart of the faction to be loaded up on Steam workshop if that is ok with you.

Orders Militant of Adepta Sororitas are female warriors of the Ecclesiarchy, a religious inquisitors that bear a resemblance to several Knightly Orders from Medieval Europe, and have a strong Gothic appearance of the Imperium to the extreme feel. Many of their heroines have the personae and attitude of Joan of Arc (especially in Martyrdom and Sainthood). Being an elite army of female zealots, they also bear some resemblance to the Fish Speakers from Frank Herbert's Dune universe.
Ophelia system should have a giant Purple star with a relic mining base in orbit just for eye candy
Three Gothic style habitable planets is ok with me because your mod lets me fine lower class planets
Ophelia VII should be class 20 relic planet because its a Forge Home World ( add +20 % Bonus to ship construction only)
Ophelia VI should be class 18 bread basket planet ( add +15 % Bonus to farming only)
Ophelia V should be class 16 place of wonders like a stone arch that is bigger than Mount Everest planet ( add +10 % Bonus to tourism only)
Lots of asteroids 10 to 20

I have a problem at present with this mod in that the bazaar comes up but all the ship placeholders are there but no actual ships....I can't buy any even when I have enough credits. It says I have purchased one but no money is spent and no ship is there.
I have uninstalled the mod and reinstalled...verified files and acquired new ones but it is always the same result..nada. The races are showing up ok, as are the different anomalies and other features associated with the mod... it is just the bazaar which is not showing correctly.
I have all DLCs and am using the latest opt in.
Sounds like you didn't copy and replace the ship file zipsb that go into the game's directory.
Or that your game updates replaced those files.
Apologies but where should I find the ship file zipsb file? It doesn't look right...did you mean the ship.zip file in the Design folder?
Correct. And the other zip file for object files. Both need to replace their counterparts in the game's directory for mercs to work.
It's a very wonky thing... Sometimes a version won't need this... But more often than not you do.
There are many great features available to you once you register, including:
