I tried to upload a set of ships to the Library here and got an error message. I have uploaded the Thielfin Ship Pack 1.0 on the galciv2guide.com site. So if you are interested you can find them there. Please provide me some feedback if you try to download and use the ships in game. I just want to know if the process works the way I think it should. Thanks -Thielfin

Thank you General Homsar. I am new to the Gal Civ II forum but as soon as I research what the Library is and how to contribute to it, I'll do my best. These ships were created in GCII Dark Avatar with the latest updates installed. If you can run a savegame I can send you a copy. If interested you can email me at [email protected] .
