[quote who="riviaguy221" reply="1421" id="2780085"] Dolynick, why not remove the Sins original races from the game? It would remove a lot of the stuff the engine has to remove, which would likely improve the game rate... [/quote] I never intended to remove the stock sthips from the game in this mod. It's always been meant to be a supplement to the game and not a total conversion. That's the biggest difference between this mod and the SGI mod. SGI is removin

Btw I watched SG:U on Netflix with my gf not long ago and noticed that the Destiny actually has laser/energy type weapons. The crew uses them to shoot down incoming fighters and there is a much larger cannon on the bottom of the Destiny that is used against larger ships. Anyways, the weapon fire color was yellow just like the drones, not sure if you already knew this and

[quote who="Mystic Angel" reply="14" id="2734575"]Unfortunately, it would take a lot more than a simple manifest change, though I wish this were true. Once a manifest no longer references files that are still in the appropriate folders, the dev exe spits out a whole slough of errors, including minidumps. The mod contents and the manifests must match. If this is mod idea is truly being considered, my suggestion would be to create a base mod folder with all of the c

When any ships fires drones, and you click on the ship it is firing on, the ship recieves the damage before the drones are even close to impact. I was wondering if you could change that so that it would be more accurate. If you have already encountered this problem and fixed it then thats good, if not this is a pointer to it. <b

We have experimented with the different ways to build atlantis , The issue with your suggestion is that atlantis will be built as a frigate . NOT a true captial ship. Being that a few races have the capacity to board and take over frigates we dropped that idea. Also with the replicate abiltiy in play makes for a nightmarish scenario. Oh btw we did already impl

For what it's worth, having the Asurans able to construct Atlantis city ships (presumably at a huge cost) and the Tau'ri not having access to one is the right way to go. So good choices there. Unless you're going for a re-enactment of the series, there is no reason why the Tau'ri should be able to build Atlantis. Starting with one would a HUGE balance issue and problematic. Plus, to do it properly you would have to have the ship virutally useless at the start and som

Reply to Fleet Supply in Sins Modding Sins Forums

250,000 fleet supply per player is a bit insane. I have a supply mod out that gives up to 6,000 with large fleets selected and even that starts having an effect later into the game. My guestimate is that around 15,000 to 20,000 (total, amongst all players and AI) fleet supply in play starts gets to the point where the game is crawling, and game time is probably 200%-300% realtime. So I have to agree that giving 250,000 fleet supply is not a good idea from that perspective al
