Reply to [MOD] The Mars Effect v1.5 (Updated Sunday 2/3/2008) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

If the so-called ai is spamming AF turrets just because some dps calculations may look more favorable then lets just call it a spreadsheet-macro and not an AI ! btw i played fandangos first epic map should have a subtitle "pirates behind every rock" without pirate changing mods and no crash in 7 hours ! xXAequitasXx can you mod the add to bounty value to a higher value - like pressing shift does increase bounty by 5000 and not by the default 500 - that is after the pirate raid

Reply to [MOD] Procyon Expanse in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Gameplay changes looks nice - i just hope that the AI can cope with it ! It screws itself just by waiting to have enough resources to build smt. and then expand to get a better resource income rate. Maybe you need to tweak the research ai for the increased amount of labs needed. And i dont mind if i cant get even techlevel 6 on a small map - quit the contrary ! Good luck finding a way to have maintenance (in the sense of periodic expenses of resources/credits) on structures.

Reply to {DISCONTINUED}[MOD] Extra Planetary Bonuses (by Uzii) v1.1 in Sins Modding Sins Forums

There cant be a thing like too much planet bonus ! Makes at least exploring the planets worthwhile. Is it possible to dynamically alter planet bonus e.g. a planet got bombed several times into oblivion and it gets the war torn bonuse or if a trade route runs for X minutes it may receive a trade bonus if the next planet to a system is a pirate base , make it have additional tacticslots like "increased police presence" or the other way a reduced trade bonus

Well i guess not much comments cause no one complains about the imbalance of the +100 and -100 button Its just perfect in my opinion and very very useful if you want to change / add a lot of research subjects.

here my feedback: 1. the rapidfire especially the autocannon fire of the akkan looks very good even as i was on the wrong side of the barrels :D 2.a)this was the first time that the AI carrier spammed me to death b)if you made that much changes to buff defenses, why not make a tactical structure like Point Defense autocannon that targets fighters and bombers and use that nice rapidfire gfx 3. now it is really hard (for me impossible) to take down a lonely capital

Reply to New Map Released! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I didnt complete it - just made a pause after 6 hours to make a few comments and rest. Player setup was : 10 players FFA random normal AI, locked teams, speed and research normal, resources set to low or normal (dont remember - but i have more than enough) Normal AI is really bad at economics - at least they seem to build insane fleets. Even after 2/3 player were wiped out (one of them my unlucky neighbor ;) i was still ranked in fleet as No. 9 ! only two of them could made

Reply to New Map Released! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Just played your map Fandangdo - with my evil expensive-tradeship-give-fleetpoints-mod The map works still quit good considering the really huge dimensions of the map. (At least on my rig : intel E6750@2,67GHz - 3,5GB usable Ram - 8800GTX) Slows a lot down if you use the 4xtime multiplier or more. Big fleets (around 3000 points) doesn't seem to be much of a problem - but then i reduced most of the gfx details except the planet textures and didn't watch the battles.

First of all thank you for all your suggestions, but i think i can throw that one away.

Reply to Do NOT backup to an USB-Stick in Sins Modding Sins Forums

i got one very old 256mb usb stick / mp3 player that used fat - i thought that could be the case considering there were almost 900 files kicking into file system limits. After the first incident i used it on a rather new 1gb stick (buffalo) wit fat32 and this is the one that seems to be out of order. The files and folders had all weird looking names and the file info told me they used 110GB ! I always use the safely remove hardware button though the drive is even set

It would be help if the modders would state the changed files or just pack the changed files.

Just to place a little warning : wasted two USB-Sticks after copying the GameInfo folder of my mod to them. I could rescue the first one by formating it - but the second one caused even an error that format couldnt be finished.

thats the right map for the weekend :D will use it with my fleetcap mod ...100planets - around 100 tradeports x 5 tradeships giving each 10 shipslots + the same with refinery ships = 10000 shipslots ... sounds reasonable for an empire this size (and thats the reason why this game needs multicore support) In the skat, shaula and mira systems there are homeplanets for each 2 players while some have no starting player in there. Me thinks that the players with a neigh
