[quote who="Rosco_P " reply="4" id="2557006"]You all have the right of it. Initially, for pre-orders and whatnot, Trinity was a bundle, where you would get seperate registrations and keys for the base game, Entrenchment, and Diplomacy. When the boxed version was coming about, Trinity became its own thing, with only one key. The content is exactly the same, the files themselves, with some very minor exceptions (launcher, etc), are the same, and for things like multiplayer, th

So obviously you can use either the Cardie or the Dominion one for the Dominion (or if you're really sad, you can do what I do and set one to each- aligning the race pics up with the flags, and then play against them as Feds, with a friend/AI as Klinks ).[/quote] Great, Thanks! I was always just using the Cardassian symbol for the Dominio
I have a basic question for anyone who knows the answer: There are two player-theme-icons between the Cardassian.. thing and the Borg hand. What races do these align with, and what color would they be under normal circumstances? One is a diamond with two little tower-things in it, the other is sort of a curved X around a central pylon. I only ask because I like to set each race to the proper icon and color before I start a game, and I don't know these two. <br
[quote who="tesb" reply="561" id="2525534"]since jtaylorpcs posted that the patch will arrive today i am pressing the refresh button [/quote] I'm guessing it'll be closer to EST 12:00 AM, so it might be alright if we all just go play the mod or something for awhile yet.
Hey guys, BORG observations here: Borg Assimilator (Crusier which doesn't have a unique model yet, not the planetary one): It says in the description it can assimilate more than one target at once, but the assimilate abilities it carries share the same cooldown/cast: two buttons for one ability, as it were. I know you're still working on the Tech Tree, so I'm sure you're aware of the weapons tech issues. Also, the "LIGHT" tech does nothing- but should it really? improv
I was playing dominion just now, and I had a few thoughts: As far as the cardassian ships go, it seems strange that the Galor class, which was the main warship of the Cardassian Guard and a crusier/destroyer, is used as a light frigate while the Kimal class, a light crusier of much smaller stature, is in the Crusier build menu with slightly greater stats. I propose that the Galor take the place (and stats) of the Barkus as the toughest Cardassian non-cap, the barkus replace th
[quote who="NHD-151" reply="475" id="2522410"]Nevermind on the checksum, i got that figured out. Another issue, however, is the federation abilities that give the ships over 100% mitigation (cough nebula cough). -snip- Now, i dont care how balanced the game truly is, but a fleet of level ten tactical cubes backed up by a bunch of other powerful borg ships should NOT be defeated like that. If anything, the battle should have been the other way around, with m

Several major bugs were corrected [/quote] I did download the hotfix... I just made the mistake of not trying out the feds after I did. Keldon still has fighters, so I guess that's intentional? or they're placeholders? Aww, you scaled back the mitigation increase... I liked having a few galaxy class caps hold off wh
This mod is... there are no words. Your skills as modders are proven, and I have no doubt that you could get a job with a major developer with this in your portfolio. I mean, this is ver .04- and it's better than most the offical games released under the Star Trek IP. One thing I'm wondering about- Dominion, Keldon Class Capital ship, it says in the description "Elite Carrier/No Strikecraft", but it does in fact have fighters- five squadrons worth of Advent strikecraft. It also appear
interesting that the tech-tree has that much effect on AI behavior. Now, when you say the current settings allow the hard AI to be challenging, would you say they're on par with vanilla hard AI, better, or worse? and you say your rommie cap ship tweaks made it in? does that mean you know what capital ships the Romulans have, and would you like to share the class names so I can go look them up on Memory Alpha before release?
[quote] Welcome back Stress. Agreed on diplomacy . We will be releasing a download tonight before midnight sometime so check back soon!!. Also all team members, Please turn in your work by 10 pm est tonight that is the deadline. [/quote] So tonight is the night! Yesss! Edit: made the b'rel into an avatar, and took the Alexandria from the borg chase pic, edited out the cutting beam, and made her into another Ambassador avatar, which I'll show off later.

My family actually had a christmas ornament B'rel when I was growing up, and you could plug it into your christmas-tree lights and it would light up the windows and engines and weapons and such. My parents still have it around, only now it dogfights with the wooden-cats-with-wings series each year.
[quote who="harpo99999" reply="332" id="2518878"]for those that want to update yet also have the current versions, all you need to do is copy your current program files \sins of a solar empire folder and all it's sub-folders to another folder and create a new desktop shortcut to it. the copied version still uses the current (1.181/1.041/0.95) mod folders and when the new patch is released it will use the new (1.19/1.05/095?) mod folders. harpo [/quote] <
To kill time till release I've started cutting ships out of the Screenshots they've shown to make avatars out of them. I have an akira, an ambassador, an excelsior, a saber (kinda bad, edited the textured saber onto a sample of blue backround taken from Akira picture, but it's under 100 X 100 pixels now so it's hard to tell) and a Galaxy (not good at all, even though all I did was cut out the backround and shrink the picture down). All the storyline based hype and the upgrade to red a

Meh. I'm checking back every hour now, just to see if anything else has been posted. Can we get an itty bitty hint as to the release date? such as "Not This Weekend" or "Before The End Of The Month But Not Before Wednesday At The Earliest"?
WOOT! perhaps it's not too long after all! You guys did some great borg work there too! :to comm officer: Signal the fleet! Form up on lead and set condition red! When the borg come calling, Admiral Teridoc will not be found wanting!

YAY! I can hardly wait to see what you all've put together!
Hey, nice Kron! Nice to see you all still puttering away, hope the Major gets through his Real Life Issues mostly intact. Work looks to be around the same quality as an expansion pack that I'd pay for, so I'll wait for that next update and not pester you all about it. Good luck, Gents and Femmes, I look forward to whenever you let us see 0.4e!
Hi, Having tried out your mod with a few medium-sized games against three or more Hard AI, I can say that this mod is well put together, contains high-quality models and is very exiting to play. I have, however, noticed a minor gameplay thing that was not mentioned in the "Known Bugs" section of the OP, though it may have been noted at some point in the past 40 pages (that I haven't read all of)- My main problem was with ships like the Venator I (republic crusier) and the CIS
I have this same issue, where every response appears to be a random selection from the voice files. I am currently re-installing, and will report back if that fixes the problem. That will take some time, though, with my connection.
