[quote who="Appalachian" reply="4" id="3629485"] Ha! I was getting ready to mention Terra until I saw the last line. I blame sci-fi games for my confusion! [/quote] Yep, it's a useful thing in video games having unique names for our sun, planet and moon :)

Reply to New Guy in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The problem a lot of new comers to Sins has is over emphasizing research and turtling. With Sins early game is about expanding out from your homeworld. You might research only a few key technologies in the first phase of the game (Ice, Volcanic, maybe an offensive like Long Range Frigates or defensive tech like Starbases). What you don't want to do is sit on your home world building up defenses and queueing up research. With your starting credits you can build

Interestingly Sol is not an official designation for our sun. Luna is also not an official name for our moon. Sorry, but the Latin terms aren't officially the names for these entities. Now if you speak latin you might say Luna or Sol but again it's not THE official name. And for funsies, The Sun is in The Solar System which contains The Earth and The Moon ;) Our solar system also contains ~146 known moons with more being verified. Our galaxy, i.e

Our solar system is somewhat unique in it's name is the Solar System. Other solar systems are named based on their primary Star/Sun. Just like our moon is named Moon while other planet's moon(s) would have their own unique names. Consequently, the title saying Sins of a Solar Empire doesn't directly reference an empire in our solar system.

[quote who="Cylon_Luvr" reply="2713" id="3629221"] I do agree that the existing Guardian MkII model doesnt really fit with canon, but I think it would be a bit of a waste to completely get rid of it. Could it be used as a cruiser or something? [/quote] I think we'll evaluate the existing models and possibly shift some things around depending on how many new assets we get.

I'm also ready to send through the new abilities for both the Hades and Guardian caps (and a few other minor changes to some other abilities). I've done all the work, so you should just be abl

Reply to Rebellion - Custom mesh render error, minidump + tanget problems in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Firstly, I like your ship model. It's definitely unique. That said, your issue is likely exceeding the # of triangles allowed. Your model is ~60k triangles. I think one of the old knowledgable modelers put the upper limit around ~50k. If you have a tool for baking detail you could probably reduce that model quite a bit taking the raised detail along the hull and baking that detail onto the texture of a lower poly game version.

[quote who="AKenny47" reply="420" id="3625453"] Oh I know, but I still think these structures should be downsized within the admittedly wacky sins scaling. The thing that I find most annoying is actually the fact that the centrepoint station so often spawns right next to the planet and clips with it, often ending up halfway inside the planet if it were to start rotating to fire. I'm failing miserably in trying to understand the spawn radius values in its entity file, so perhaps you c

I would get a 970 if you want to see a sizable performance gain. The 960 just isn't as great a card as it's predecessor's in the '60s. In fact some benchmarks have the 960 slower than older cards like the 760. Check some benchmarks and make an informed decision.

Reply to Enhanced Capital ships mod. V1.183 in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Adding new weapons without adding corresponding weapon points to the mesh file may cause issues with save games. I can't remember if this happens with Capitalships but I know starbases have an issue with missing weapon points and not firing on targets after loading a save game. If you find capital ships aren't auto engaging, especially for the AI after loading a save game this is likely your culprit. A simple work around would be to add forward/back/left/right weapon points th

Reply to Adding Titan as capital ship in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Simply that you can't add a titan entity as a capital ship. You'd need to make a new capital ship entity using the same meshes, icons and string entries as the original titan. You would also need to modify all of the Titan abilities to work correctly for capital ships. This isn't necessarily complicated but it will require you to learn more about modding Sins.
