I loaded up the mod, and right off the bat I noticed a pretty large bug. No icons lol. It was stuck in cinimatic mode permenantly. No phase lanes, no icons, nothings. Kinda hard to play that way really.

The rebels should get a special unit that specializes in boarding actions. Make a special animation that it comes up alongside an enemy ship and attaches to it, and it'll have a certain percentage of victory. And if succesfull the rebels would acquire that ship. Since in the SW universe, most of the rebel ships were stolen imperial ships. Even their famous X-wings were imperial designed fighters.

What you all must keep in mind, is aslong as they provide us with the tools to make as much depth as we want, that's all that's needed. They may put a cap on how much content to add, but aslong as they give us the option to go above and beyond that limit, the game is fine.

[quote]I've gotten to the stage where I have a cruiser which can spawn the station, with appropriate stats on the station.

lmao, oh tell me about it. When I make an advent ship, like a radiance or halcyon. I ALLWAYS want to name it 'Celestial Dawn' but I am exactly ONE letter short. I can only get 'Celestial Daw' lmao. And even then I'd rather name it 'THE (Without caps lmao) Celestial Dawn'. So longer names would be nice.

Yeah, I must say the Vasari's voices really wear thin fairly quickly. 'What would you have me do?' in that gravely hoarse voice... -shudder.- This is obviously a race who never developed Cough Drop technology.

Reply to [REQ] Outpost / Station in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'd say that you give a ship, like the carrier cruiser, the ability to drop a space station. Then, like what Silver said, give it the ability to build other structures around it (But give it a fairly decent number of tac slots atleast, so you could build quite the defense system, since as we all know, defenses in Sins are all but useless unless spammed in large numbers.). But also make sure the station itself has guns and maybe a single squadron of fighters to defend itself. A nice little outpos

I noticed the mod you posted Quinn, I even Dled it before lol. But it never worked so eh. Plus it still has a little glow around the stars that I don't like, that fogginess bugs me. But you know, for those who say multi-stars would hurt tactics and strategies. How so? Think about it, which is easier 'Ok I put my fleet here and they can't get deeper into my terrirtory.' Or 'Ok I control the entire system but like five planets connect to the sun, so I must figure out how to efficiantly pr

Quin, you got a link to that mod. I'd rather just see the bright balls of color you see when you're zoomed out, but not so far you get the galaxy swirl. Plus it'd allow me to make vastly bigger maps :D

Reply to The expansion... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I for one would love to see more ways to win. When I go online it's really the first to spam LRM's and take more planets, too combat oriented. I'd like to be able to just kill my opponent by turning all his planets to my side through culture, or to basicly buy out all his manufactorers through my economic might (Making it so it takes longer to buy things and they're more expensive or something.) As it stands, Sins is just far too combat oriented for my tastes.

Reply to Way too many planets, too few stars. Anyone agree? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Box, stop trolling. It's not much to want to have realistic sized systems in your space game. For a while now I've wanted a mod that removes the galactic swirl around stars at max zoom. And if I had that, I'd make my own realistic looking maps. But really man, you need to lay off. Go troll somewhere else. And P.S. I've noticed one of the most limiting factors in map size, are the galactic swirl affects around the stars. My comp could probably support 500 stars, each having arou

Reply to Star Wars Mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I have come to the conclusion that making the full SW galaxy is impossible. On my map there's like 200 or more planets. But then each planet is really a system. And, for example, I made the Coruscant system in galaxy forge. THIRTEEN planets and one sun, so fourteen in all. For ONE dot on the map. You'll have to take a page out of EAW's book and just make the main planet of a system.

Reply to Aligning Muzzle Effects? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Well, even if it is possible, it's still gonna look silly. Without turreted weapons, no matter what it will look odd. Currently it looks odd because it fires straight, yet the projectile goes off in some odd direction. If the fire affect was in some random direction same as the projectile, it'd still look odd because the gun is facing forward, yet shooting at an angle. To be honest, just slap on the affect and don't worry about what direction it's facing.

My fleet will finish killing the buildings like 45 seconds before the planet goes pop, so seige frigates simply aren't needed.

I like all the ship designs. In a whole the TEC has that 'It's an ugly ass floating brick, but it's an ugly ass floating brick that will kick your ass' look, which I love. The Advent however have that 'Our ships are weakly armored, but look sexy as hell, and our super tech and shields more then make up for it all.' look, which is nice and suits them well methinks. And the Vasari have that 'We're scary and mean and love to fight and so we'll just steamroll you no matter what' lo

I find a good strategy is to place a refinery, trade port, and media center on every world I have (Some changes are made to asteroids to suit my needs). That way every planet gets good culture, good credits, and good resources.

Reply to How to combat the LRM? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I noticed something, it's kinda offtopic but oh well. The TEC and Vasari artillery cruisers were really good, those missile spams will do huge damage to the enemy fleet. But the advents Illuminator flat out sucks. I mean while you can kill like 5 light frigates with 2 or 3 LRM's. You'd need ATLEAST 5 illuminators to take out those same 5 light frigates. Which doesn't make much sense to me.
