My Enhanced 4X Mod has a series of little minimods , one of which is called Faster Combat and does exactly that. It increases all ship damage by 50% and thus causes battles to be finished much faster. It would have some bad side effects if you just used the minimod without E4X though.
You actually used to be able to do this before Rebellion, but it was taken out for some reason. Best you can do for specific maps is to set randomize positions to false and have player 2s homeworld not have any phase lanes. That's what I did in my free tutorial map. If you're just using it for testing, you can disable the AI via the developer.exe.

[quote who="Faceless_Wanderer" reply="485" id="3648935"] I concur with the other post there that the No Superweapons mod is broken. [/quote] What was the difficulty of the AIs? At harder levels one of the AI cheats is to get some research for free, I wonder if this is causing the superweapons to be unlocked. Unfortunately, the way this minimod used to work was broken for some reason with the 1.84/85 patch, so I can't restore it to how it was before. Just have to

New version of the optional minimods released! Now Sins 1.85 compatible.
The optional minimods are back!
Do we need to make new accounts for these or is it a standard Stardock Account?

[quote who="JoshuaTedder" reply="2659" id="3646551"] What sort of abilities can fighter squadrons have? For example, I would like to add a self-destruct ability to a squad to be activated at the user's discretion. I heard that they can only be equipped with AOE abilities, since they are many entities and yet one? [/quote] Very limited. Having to use AoE is the big limitation since you cannot use "ApplyBuffToSelf", as the ability is on the squad but the squad
[quote who="AKenny47" reply="481" id="3646339"] The constraint in the "Buff_ING_RebelScumTarget" file is "HasAntiMatterPool", whereas in the parent "Ability_ING_RebelScum" file, the constraint is the appropriate "HasWeapons" value. Considering the nature of the ability, I'm guessing you don't mean for there to be different constraints? [/quote] Fixed. I've removed the constraints from both abilities. Thanks for your ever reliable observations.
[quote who="psychoak" reply="2626" id="3645919"] I cannot find anywhere where it makes it invulnerable, capturable, and not able to be scrapped. It has to be somewhere in the haystack. Much is hardcoded, that would be one of them. There are buff settings to make other things behave that way, however, the wiki has them. [/quote] Actually this is not one of them. If I'm remembering this correctly there is no ability for it, but the buff f
[quote who="Eefwee" reply="2" id="3645667"] "Hide the flagship!" [/quote] That would be because that's what the AI does. And there isn't much anyone can do about that. [quote who="Eefwee" reply="2" id="3645667"] For a Galaxy Forge walkthrough, would you recommend just the one on this site? [/quote] Honestly there is no up to date walkthrough for the galaxy forge. It might help but its changed a bit since then. Basics might still be the same.
Seems like you should try the galaxy forge tool first. It handles making maps. It's really more for planet placement and spawning starting fleets but that would be the first step of any scenario. Do you not like flagship victory?
There's a video tutorial for that and much more. [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKR7MNZtr2A[/video]

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="10" id="3643068"] Oddly the Universal translator only translates audio to American English. Not sure if it's broken or by design. Fortunately the Universal Translator will translate written text to various other Human languages. So it's really more of a semi-Universal translator.

[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="2617" id="3643574"] It isn't a huge problem. Poly count isn't too much of an issue in Sins so long as they're under 25k or so. [/quote] It is a big waste of RAM though. We've seen noticeable performance improvements since switching to Sins style shield meshes, especially by players on the lower end of PCs. Ideally the shield mesh should be specially made as basically an extremely low detail outline of the hull even for "hull

[quote who="In_dy" reply="1044" id="3643104"] Are you able to edit/mod that trait? Then a passive bonus could be added (race-specific!?). I'd like to see something that tempts people, at best also the AI, to acutally use the ship. Something as a damage bonus in enemys gravity wells.

[quote who="In_dy" reply="1042" id="3642711"] I have not tested them all, but the stats are not level 10, more like level 5. I would not give them normal abilities. Coming without antimatter has advantages, especially for this ship type. They also only have 3 abilities, haven't they? [/quote] The fourth ability is used by the game to mark the ships as the flagship, but I could probably move it to the 5th ability slot, since it has no real impact on gameplay.</p
[quote who="Sucal" reply="478" id="3642734"] I'm not sure if its on purpose or not (and likely already has been reported) but for the Imperials at least, the Admiral Piett and Harrask researchs (the level three hero units) require resources and credits to research rather then being free [/quote] This is intentional, because Harrsk and Piett command Allegiance class Battlecruisers, which have a bit better stats than other hero flagships.

[quote]TEC's case is obviously Earth [/quote] Actually it is not obviously Earth. There has indeed never been any mention of Earth, so if it is in fact human's homeworld in Sins, it may have either been lost and forgotten about long ago or no longer has the same economic and political importance. Or perhaps in the Sins universe there's a different homeworld for humans, as in Star Wars.
