Realistically, though, you won't be zoomed in far enough, during normal gameplay, to really see that (or care).

This is strange... in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'm putting some aesthetic touches on my mod, and I noticed that my sound replacement for the opening theme is not working. I thought maybe it was an issue with how the file was generated (using a different program this time), but I put in an old theme that I've used in the past, and THAT isn't even working. I've tested several old ones, and none have worked. I know for a fact that the rest of the mod is working. Anybody have issue with this?

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="916" id="3171706"]Ben asked me to pop-in and comment on this. Here's my 2 cents from my understanding: Debris does vanish after a while and doesn't really hurt performance much (because you can't really interact with it, etc). Trade ships don't really have much impact at all. What tends to bog things down late game are strike craft (fighters/bombers). Each individual ship is its own entity that the game must track. When you start having hu

That's all the files I ever need, I just like to play around with ship speeds/command points and stuff, maybe add an effect to a research subject, but nothing big. (I think I spend more time restarting games trying to get it right more than I ever really do playing it, but I enjoy it ) I didn't expect anyone to upload the .txt versions so quickly after release, I'm happily going to get to modding now

[quote quoting="post"] OK, the dev's said there will be a clues in Rebellion as to what is chasing the Vasari and apparently it's not Sam Neil returning in a ship that vanished into a black hole for fifty years. They also suggested that they thought it was possible some might get it rather quickly. To this end, I posit my guess. I kept noticing in the varying screen shots the new Vasari ships. We know the Vasari are quite happy to hav

If you guys are really worried about the titans or dreads being unbalanced, just edit the galaxyscenariodef file so each side starts with 1 under the quick start options. Remove the spawn ability from the controllers. Problem solved.
