[Mod - Beta Release] Star Trek Federation faction style mod

Posted on Tuesday, June 2, 2015

Release vB2

 

This is a Faction and ShipStyle mod for GalCiv 3 - that is, it adds a new custom set of ships and templates which you can use in place of any of the standard races, linked to a faction. It currently features 20 ship models that will take you from Tiny exploration ships all the way through to Huge warships. These template ships can be used with or without the StyleSet modification and Federation faction.

If you have placed these correctly, when you start up Galciv 3 and start a new game,you will see there is a new Federation faction in your faction list, and in the Faction creator the ShipStyle list now contains a new entry: Federation (Star Trek)

 

 

If you select this Faction and/or Ship Style, you will be greeted by a pretty new Constitution class exploration vessel instead of the standard Terran/Drengin/Altarian Survey ships.

 

 

Eventually, through unlocking the tech tree your fleet will grow to include all kinds of Starfleet vessels.
