Well i test your new release, and each time i start play there is a black cube that explode shortly after the game start near my planet, the moon starbase work, and the flagship work to, nothing missing so i don't know what is it...

Ah, I only included 3 militia mods? Did I miss some in the upload?

Hi ZombiesRus5,

i really love your mod, with all the stuff its nearly a new game

but i miss 1 "mod" the fights between to ships are to "static" it is possible to let the ships move around while they fighting each other? ( the SoA mod has that) its look a little bit "realistic"

sry for my broken english, iam a german old man

Why?

Currently you can choose between three types of planets, why not just "normal combat motion" or alternatively "moving battle" it's just an idea, if it comes in as an option I would find it good, if not also not bad at all, still the best mod in my opinion

I see someone hasn't played the star trek mod, they use the dynamic movement mod which is incorporated into the mod. It works so long as you adjust the speeds of the ships right. AND I have already suggested this to Zombie as it was one of the suggestions I made a while back when I was more active in model making. As the saying goes we'll get there when we get there. The flagship addon mod was another merge/suggested addon I suggested to Zombie and he as of recently has brought that to us.

and truth be told... I hate static fights, this isn't a freaking turned based strategy game this is a 4x RTS. In real life if we had fights in space I doubt ships would stay in one place as the saying goes your a sitting duck if you stay in one place to long, your practically painting a bullseye on yourself if you stay static in place. It's harder to hit a moving target and the fights are more interesting that way instead of the same ol' boring "Oh look we'll just stand here and get shot at and killed." like they did in the Revolutionary War.

Cool. Working on a massive map. the fix for galaxy forge is working great. awesome Mod Z.

Weekends don't allow much time for modding

It's the flagship spawner temporary mesh. I'll likely reduce it to a very small mesh with no explosion or sounds in the final version. A spawner structure is required though to get the random flagship at game start.

It's not an unreasonable request so no harm done. It's more a matter of how much time and effort would I have to spend tweaking to get it to work reasonably. I'm still curious to see what is done with corvettes as I see the hybrid approach for DBS more interesting personally. 

To me it seems dynamic movement in the core game works good for bombers because they attack heavy (mostly stationary targets) and fighters then chase the bombers. Flak look confused sometimes chasing the fighters but then they have 360 damage capability. Overall it's a simple approach. It seems to break down some when many frigates use dynamic movement causing wide swings outside of the gravity well causing the majority of gameplay issues IMO or odd bumping and pathing issues. Maybe if fighter movement used the entire gravity well (z-axis too) and wasn't along the horizon only it might work better as well.

SOA2 is good but they've also had over 2 years to perfect what they have 

Not really sure... I dislike doing small patches because of things like this but prefer the smaller downloads during test windows. I'll likely put a full build up by the end of the week.

I've not seen the icon change on any of the Colonial ships, but I've never seen them have an issue with actually docking back up. I think the graphic is just the same for both launched and docked.

Is it that launch stealth bomber? If so it's temporary and will go away on it's own. If you don't want it to launch disable the ability.

Did you enable the mods in the right order?

Well, this is my test release so mini-dumps are bound to occur during this process. I'll have a full build ready in a few days to avoid an errors while patching.

The reason for the ordering is because of the way I am handling stacking in the mod. If the mods aren't activated in the correct order you may not override the appropriate files. Here's the summary part of order of activation and how many can be activated at once. 

SotF Planet [System] R5 (Activate 0..1 only)

SotF Addon [Type] R5 (Activate 0..many depending on preferences)

SotF Militia [Name] R5 (Activate 0..1 only, Requires corresponding SotF Race to be activated if not Tech/Advent/Vasari)

SotF Race [Name] R5 (Activate 1..many depending on effect settings and system specs)

SotF Core Flagship R5 (Optional)

SotF Core R5 (Required)

Failure to activate in the above order will likely result in a mini-dump.

0..1 = means only activate at MOST one or none at all.

0..many = means you can activate none or all depending on system specs and hard code limits

1..many = means you have to activate AT LEAST one or more depending on system specs and hard code limits

I will create a installation guide as I get closer to a formal release and decide what will be in that release.

Sure thing, don't read too much into how I write answers to questions. They are generally matter of fact and not intended to make fun or be irritated at the person asking. It's hard to read a persons intent or feelings through the written word Well... unless they are making an ass out of themselves.
