Malanthor, [quote who="Malanthor" reply="906" id="2954909"]Oh yeah, i am playing your latest mod 1.21 [/quote] What is happening is that the raider pirates are not going raiding (explore does not seem to work for the pirates in patch 1.21) so they accumulate at home. The normal pirates, who should be whittling each other down now have too many targets to keep their numbers in check.

Hi Malanthor, Thanks for getting back to me. [quote who="Malanthor" reply="903" id="2954775"]You were right on that the super-dread enhancement is the culprit i think.

[quote who="Malanthor" reply="901" id="2954087"]Have a short cooldown on actually building the dread (like 10-60 sec) but let the antimatter go up really slowly so the antimatter in effect controls how long it takes.

Hi dresda, [quote who="dresda" reply="896" id="2953873"]How would I go about removing the asteroids from each planet in the game files so they do not appear when I play?[/quote] You need to change the following file: GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef (in the GameInfo folder).

[quote who="Malanthor" reply="898" id="2953888"]So my suggestion is simply to increase the general fleet cap one takes up to the mentioned 50-100. They are stronger than normal caps so logically they should cost more than the 50 a cap cost. 75-100 maybe?[/quote] There is still a balance problem with this. If you don't have the '75-100 logistics available at the spawning time (i.e autoenabled) then you miss the Dread production till the next cycle (i.e cooldown time and
Hi Malanthor, [quote who="Malanthor" reply="893" id="2953811"]So i really wish you could make the dread cost a little more population cap. Make it so it wont build if you dont have a free cap spot for instance, because right now i dont uppgrade either my fleet cap or my cap ship cap and i can still roam around with 20 dreadnaughts. pretty overpowered.. hehe.[/quote] If you remember based on the limitations of the engine I can either 1.

[quote who="Peter1x9" reply="891" id="2951573"]All of the combined settings will put them over 100% when they reach high levels.[/quote] I think it only takes it to 95%, also it was in R3 that I added 10% mitigation in culture ... hence you have to fight a high level Replicator cap outside its culture.
Hi Ryat, As always thanks for the advice. [quote who="Ryat" reply="889" id="2950949"]Just to give you some advice about shield mitigation from one who has had to balance it out, never ever go past 94%.[/quote] Understood. Though the mitigation, in case of the Replications, is increased via abilities (with cooldown) and hence is not always so high. I think typically it is 84%.

Hi Pena, In the Maelstrom mod you loaded there is a folder called "String". In that folder there is a file called English.str. Change the name of the file to Italian.str Good luck and have fun.

Hi luschetk, Glad you are enjoying the mod. To change the mod is easy. 1. In the GameInfo folder find the Planet entity file you wish to edit i.e PlanetRing.entity (ring world). The names of the Planet enity files all begin with 'Planet' so they are easy to find and the additional description is simple (i.e PlanetDiasporian.entity for Diasporian planet) Its a good idea to backup the original file somewhere as a single typo can
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="107" id="2944715"]You're actually one of the few teams modding Vanilla, so you would probably know more than anyone. Its possible it may have been an unlisted Entrenchment only change. If you are certain its the hardcode you may want to try and Email Blair about it.[/quote] Yes, it is what I thought, though I could have missed some reference to the issue buried in the forums. I'll email Blair for clarification after some further test. Thank
I was wondering if anyone can clarify whether the follow hardcoded limits Increased maximum number of meshes allowed (400->800). Increased maximum number of textures allowed (1000->2000). (from the post: "Sins of a Solar Empire v1.19 and Entrenchment v1.05 Change Log" [ https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/374465 ]) apply for the patch 1.191 (original Sins). As stated in the post ... "the engine can now reference 800 meshes and 2000 textures".

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="871" id="2942693"]I have it working in 1.2/1.21. Also--is that release 3 or 4 in your downloads right now? I have 3.[/quote] Thanks for letting me know. You can get R4 (E & D) at ModDB. Will update links here in the next day or so when I release R4 (O).
R4 includes bailknight effects for weapons and explosions (the sound effects for weapons and explosions have been updated also) for the new races. The original races have the original weapons and explosions.
Though I have targeted Dip v1.011, feedback from some (see Reply #845 ) indicates that it will work with Dip 1.2x. I haven't personally tested it though. Will get around to releasing a version for the latest Dip patch soon.
Hi CKayote, Glad your having fun with the mod and thanks for the feedback. My response 1. dangerous asteroids are meant to slow everyone down, especially on high value planets. 2. I'll look into it. Thanks. 3. The expansion series includes a number of things people don't like i.e dangerous asteroids, expanded pirates and Dreadnoughts. The non-expansion series is your typical 'classic' Sins. Personally I find the pirates weak, wit
