* This mod uses some assets from Sins of the 13th Tribe (credit will be listed in the readme when released).

Quick synopsis

This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach. 

 

Colonial Fleet

Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

- Seems to be a mix up with the new "Overload Hybrid" icon that i sent to you in my last lot of changes. The icon appears as "Hybrid revelations" (Apotheosis --> Faith) instead of appearing as the icon for the capital basestars "Overload Hybrid" icon (which is what is should be). Need to put back the original icon for Hybrid Revelations, and use the new icon for "Overload Hybrid". 

The original image I apparently had for Hybrid revelations matched what you sent for Overload Hybrid (Just white versus the redish color). I don't want the same icon with different colors being used for both researches. I'll need something different for hybrid revelations if thats what you want. I'll leave it as is until then.

- Hybrid Hacking Programs research - needs to change because capital ships already generate credits... currently says 2.0 to 4.0, when it is already 3.5 for each? Should say 3.5 to 4.0 

This isn't controlled by the mod. This is an issue with the core game when you increase income speeds the income goes up.

Cylon_Luvr got a question for you. What name would you like for the Cylon homeworld and what kind of planet should be used?

Already thought of this one a while back.... Planet should be called  "Centurion" and have already developed a homeworld/base... its an asteroid with a large Hades Class basestar that has landed on it, which I have already sent through to Z. Each to their own though, the reason why I developed this one is to suit a scanario/map that I developed. 

I think it needs to be modified to suit the last Sins update though.. doesn't work with the latest version. 

cool I am working on a large map for the mod and plan on releasing it when I am done.

I found a couple more people to help out with the Colonial lines and they have sent me demos. I believe I will be able to get you some capital ship stuff later on this week hopefully.

If only life were simple... Something changed in the Bing translator I call. On the plus side it appears to give a better translation. On the down side I'm getting some character that lops the file off part way through when SoaSE processes it. 

A little frustrating to say the least as I don't quite know what's causing it yet.

I think I have it finally figured out as an encoding issue between different files being merged. Yeah for me! Now I have to regenerate every language file which may take all day.

Various bugs identified by the community here and other things I identified I fixed in previous posts.

I didn't get any of the new effects or sounds in.

The cylon planet with the crashed basestar is the starting moon for Cylons when the Moons Addon is activated. I plan to add this to the Kobol package as a placeable planet.

Language translations that are correctly encoded.

Added back in the effects and bonus density addon.

Just did some testing... looks like we're getting close now!! 

- Need to fix up the abilities for Cylon moon bases.... Could you copy the current abilities for the Cylon starbase across to the moon base?   
- Abilities still aren't right for Cylon Titans... they still have some Advent abilities? Also it seems 
as though you can't advance any of the abilities past 1 ability point? See my post Reply #2142 for abilities that the Titans should have ie. Total Atmospheric Expulsion for Loyalist Titan etc. 
- Moons don't seem to "attack" properly? I think it does attack(because ships are taking damage), but you can't actually see any missiles being fired?
- Chimaea envoy - Once you have completed research for Number 2 model, click on the envoy ship 
and move your mouse over its abilities, it says "Number Two?s prophetic.." instead of "Number 
Two's prophetic.." 
- For some reason, you can't research Number Six Model in "The Plan"? 
- Should be "Node V0" instead of "Node v0"... in the list of names for Cylon capital ships ie. the "V" should be upper case, not lower. 
- When the Lockdown Virus is used (Guardian Mk1) and the enemy ship is disabled, my ships seem to stop attacking it? 
- Awesome that you've changed the end screens for when you win, loose etc, but the pictures are too small or something? The pictures dont fit the size of the screen. 
- In "The Plan", I can't research all the items in the bottom half of the screen? i.e. Pricing Advancements, Resource Advancements...

1. Maybe. I need to make it's scripted to move the right files from the cylon folder to the moon folder to handle the case where the source starbase files are modified.

2. It's low on my list todo but I need to make sure all the meshes have weapon points for moons and increase the missile effect being used. It should be more like large nukes being fired out.

Do you mean the icon picture? I've tested this several times now and see the new text for abilities/weapons/durability and made sure all upgrades are possible and in the right ability slots.

Also, like vanilla sins there are restrictions for leveling and upgrades.

Ability A: Atmospheric Expulsion

Level 1: available at Titan level 1 or higher
Level 2: available at Titan Level 3 or higher
Level 3: available at Titan Level 5 or higher
Level 4: available at Titan Level 7 or higher 

* You can't get level 2 of an ability if the Titan's current level is less than 3

- When the Lockdown Virus is used (Guardian Mk1) and the enemy ship is disabled, my ships seem to stop attacking it? 

Correct- It's based on the advent capital ship's blackout ability. Shooting at it wakes it up after it takes a certain amount of damage. I'm open to a redesign of the ability.

I didn't want to stretch the pictures I had. The image needs to be 1024x768. If you find some that size or larger I can add them in (Send me a link to the image). To compensate I added a black bar on the bottom to get the coding in place- swapping pictures is easy.
