[quote]I think if you watch Firefly with an open mind, you'll agree that it was victim of network stupidity. If that show were just being developed now for HBO or Showtime, it would be huge because of how much grittier it would be.[/quote] I'm familiar with Joss Whedon's work, and I've watched plenty of the Buffyverse shows to know it well, but the quality dipped thereafter, especially with Dollhouse.

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="20" id="3223904"]Babylon 5 production-wise is neither incredible or poor but it isn't epic film--but the characters and story arc are pretty unique in TV scifi and to get five years of it was a treat. Great back story and memorable, unique characters.[/quote] That's an example of a show that was all over the place. The first season was shit, but the 2nd to 4th ones was a continuing trend of epicness, but it settled back to shit in the end

My ideas ( https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/407617/page/55/#3208995 ) will be tested this week. I finally finished updating my mod today. I don't know if 1.04 will be giving me any grief, but we'll see.

Maybe updating DS to 1.04 would require less than I think, but doing my mod seemingly took forever. Dunno if I'll bother with this considering I want to focus on implementing new ideas and incorporating more content. I need to get it done by Friday. When do you think you guys will be pumping out a 1.04 version or are you holding out until the next regular release?

There is no point in throwing in as many models that one can get their hands on, let alone, needing 10+ factions. If you're going to break up the factions, at least, do it like Rebellion did.

I'll let you know if you did good after I go through the customary research and ship balancing. I never could understand why you intend on giving all the new races as much research as possible. They don't need it and it screws with the balancing of the game. Your models and abilities (save replication being buggy) have always been solid, though. Yes, this includes even when the Norlamin capital ships looked like flying metal dildos. [e digicons]:dog:[/e]

On Sunday, I'll be updating my mod. If all goes well, and there are no major issues, I'll see about doing a compatibility patch for the rebellion DS release. Of course, it's 100% unofficial, and only intended to hold you over until they do their next update. No promises, though.

Why do you care? It's on a different, modern game engine with different potentials, even then, all the games I play against involve at least 3 humans and use mods. I know your playing against at least 1 AI. That game also hasn't been artillery and shield spammed to hell (like all my games end up being). Do that, and get 3+ hours into the game, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I think the limit is hardcoded, but there's a list of prestock names you can change in the string file. Should start around line 1749 or so (looking at my mod, at a glance). Just make sure to change it in a mod, and not the core file.
