A QUESTION If you want to keep rogue stars in the game but render them uncolonizable even with gas giant colonization do you just change 'iscolonizabe' to FALSE, and 'planettypeforresaerch' to "uncolonizable"...? or do you have to make changes elsewhere... do you have to change all the numbers to 0.0000(pop, modules, asts,...etc)

btw...dont get me wrong... i play sins now and love it. really u cant compare sins to ta(total annihilation) and say ones better as they are completely different experiances. sins is rt4x and theres more to it than blowin s*** up (diplomicy, research, scouting) ta is geared towards just creating armies and destroying everything in epic battles (the name says all)

[quote]b) Second issue is using random maps it seems to create the "rogue stars" around the map and makes them colonizable? Not sure if this is what you intended but find it odd my guys can live on a star.[/quote] They wouldnt live on the star (lol). The same goes for gas giants. it would an orbital platform city thing like bespin in star wars. (notice when you do colonize its expensive untill u research both levels of advanced gas giant colonization.

Please refrain from using the words "realistic" or "unrealistic" when talking about a game. IT IS A GAME. A rt4x game. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE REALISTIC. it is meant to be fun and intertaining. i beleive someone has stated this point before but i cant remember who or where

damn no edit edit button i may have misunderstood you question...a planet group is a 'group' of planets. planet group contents are what is in the planet group making a large map....id recemend using multiple groups with differing distances from the star. doesnt matter obviuosly. or you could make just one planet group group that spawns anywhere. (min/max is min/maxed out) if you make just one group that is close to the star then you starting terran and ast will be far away from the

Reply to Need help with the ingame map designer in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Example: You want to make a map that makes sense (volcanic close to sun or close to gas giant, and ice far out) so...you want 3 volc, 4ice, 2 des, and 5 ast. Make one planet group. add in volc. 3 of them. Then make the min/max closest to the star. (this means the planets will spawn close to the star. Make another group. Asterid. 5. Make their min/max closest to the star and farthest away from the star. (theyl spawn anywhere in that stars grav feild. make another group. ice. 4

The best strategy against noviliths is a very aggessive one. Its simple...keep the pressure on them enough and dont let them build them. If your oponent builds several novaliths your fleet should be at an advantage (he spent alot of resources and research time to get them). Simply [I]hit'em hard, hit'em often[/I]

Reply to Where to aquire free maps? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think i understand what was going on now... When i was creating maps. I made only one planet group and made its distance close to the star...You home planet and neighboring ast & ice/volc always spawn at the max distance from the star. When i make maps with several planet groups, some close to the star others far away this problem doesnt happen... This makes sense and i wonder why i didnt think of it earlier...
