I don't even know if that is possible.. Is player index of firstSpawner saved at the time of usage or does calling playerIndex simply check the current playerIndex.

[quote who="Toddwp" reply="10" id="3198426"]Ok so the titan uses itself as a phase gate and can transport your fleet and itself back Returning Armada sounds pretty nice.. How exactly do I use it?[/quote] No. The Vorastra literally spawns a phase gate from which you can use RA or jump. And these were the "above methods:" "Phase Gates, Orkies with Phase Stabilizer Arrays, and Stabilize Phase Space on the Antorak"

Reply to are Vasari Loyalists a little weak? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

How knows what he's talking about. Phase Gates, Orkies with Phase Stabilizer Arrays, and Stabilize Phase Space on the Antorak create Phase Nodes on the orbited planet. Kosturas also make nodes at the target planet, allowing ships to jump from one planet with a Phase Node directly to the target planet. Then, simply use one of the above methods (keeping in mind the Vorastra can spawn Phase Gates wherever it goes) to get back home after stripping the planet.

That's the other thing.. While everyone else is worrying about that petty 75% upkeep tax on income, you can just strip planets for raw, untaxed income, making 2000 fleet supply very viable. Oh, and your advanced version of RA lets you pick what you get from phase gates which you can build with your titan, all at significantly reduced prices from the defaults.

VL are very powerful. Accelerated Wave Cannons puts WC's on almost as good a ground as PM's! Energized Pulse Charging is also very good. Stripped To The Core is incredibly powerful when Kostura-jumping. The Vorastra isn't a combat titan, though Desperation is actually fairly good because it significantly increases the titan's DPS. The Maw nullifies enemy frigates.

Could you perhaps explain your problem? Perhaps there is a way to actually address the issue rather than just ranting? And are you talking about updating Vanilla/Entrenchment/Trinity or Rebellion?

This is odd... Unlike "Projectile" or "Beam" weapon effect types, "Missile" weapon effect types can shoot at anything in range because the missiles simply curve around. Missile weapons are basically omnidirectional; better than three directional beams. I'd thought that Missiles seemed to have wider firing arcs previously but I definitely confirmed it when I replaced the lasers on the Progenitor today with Psionic Surge guns which are of type "Missile." Side weapons are

Most of the buff chains are fairly straightforward. Trinity Alliance on the Kultorask is a simple echoed AND gate. The Holy Trinity and Dark Triad are what I'm calling a "Whirlpool AND" because each one ANDs the next ones in the chain. When all three of either one are present, the consituent ships become more powerful and if the correct titan is nearby, it becomes more powerful. Aside from that, the only other complex one was the Jarrasul's Orbital Rule. &nbs

Zombie, yes I did indeed check the other starbase files I've modified. Anyways, Psychoak, link . While you're at it if you happen to stumble across the reason for the Novalith+Nova Dereg error, that'd be much appreciated as well.

I couldn't get it to work in my testing though so I figured it was bugged.. Also, working on adding a faction-specific SB for the AR with beam weapons instead of lasers.

[MOD] Capital Identities and Rebellion Logic Gates in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Capital Identities Capital Identities is a mod that I've been working on for a while that adds a fifth passive ability to each capitalship and titan that does something unique. Each ability is based upon the lore of the ship. For instance, Antoraks operate best alone, Kols inspire allies, the Evacuator can rule a planet from orbit, etc. The precise changes can be found here . <a href="http://www
