Reply to [MOD] Starbase Mobilization Changed to an Upgrade in Sins Modding Sins Forums

For anyone who knows how to debug it, here's a [mostly] debugged version. It doesn't work mind you. Also, don't kill Orkies with the dev.exe's a->c->b. It will crash. Normal death appears to function fine however so I'm not as interested in fixing that issue. For whatever reason, SPS isn't removing the buffs properly. I know this block of code is reached, but I don't

That thing would be called a Novalith and they've been around since '08 in vanilla. The TEC build them. The Loyalists get them at T6 and the Rebels at T8. Each race has it's own superweapon. The TEC have the nova, the Advent have the Deliverance Engine, and the Vasari have the Kostura. They do 3500 damage and halve the income of the planet for half an hour. You can't counter them directly, but starbases have upgrades that prevent the loss

It'll do more than just prevent the last damage upgrade. Remember that no one currently used SPS except in very rare circumstances and certainly never on a jumping Orky. That's not just a difference of 1 upgrade, that's a difference of 2 which will make a difference. That said, while talking to Carbon on TS3, he suggested that their engines would also be disabled upon arrival at an enemy planet which would be a very simple addition. The Orky would still b

I think you misunderstand what it would do. Jumping would be just as fast but would necessarily require that Orkies be weaker since the player would have to devote two levels to Stabilize Phase Space which will make the Orky weak in some regard. Right now, one of the main reasons why it is OP is that you can send in a maxed out Orky which is incredibly hard to counter. Something else I thought of was that you could probably give a jumping Orky a negative trade income since

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="71" id="3192075"] Quoting Volt_Cruelerz, reply 67I think that at 10% you'd want a passive, but for an active, you may want 20% or so. It wouldn't be as good as Overcharge mind you which doubles the effectiveness of everything, but the ability to do so to an entire fleet would be incredible. Range and duration will likely be the biggest determination of whether this gets bumped higher than 10%. And being passive wou

People have suggested repeatedly that Orkies would be less OP if it was an upgrade. Some have suggested that this may not be enough and other additional steps may have to be taken, but this IMO is a great place to start. Download NOTE: I reworked the system that I was previously planning on using to be more efficient and simpler (not to mention I actually made it work).

I have no issues with a flat reduction in allegiance, it's just that that you can't do that via modding. You'd need a new entityModifier to be able to do it. While I'm definitely not against more modding potential, it would involve more effort by the devs because they'd have to recompile the game which I'm sure is no quick task.

[quote who="bilun" reply="58" id="3191891"]Couldn't you apply a negative value The Culture Spread modifier used in the Expulsion buff to the targeted gravity well? Then again I don't know squat about modding so I'm probably missing some key engine limitation.[/quote] That wouldn't make anti-culture, that would just make it send out reduced culture.
