Great one Thrawn2787! Too true that! Of course, not to sound arrogant or like a braggart, but I have a good capacity to imitate several voice accents/attitudes.

Hey, JasonFJ, I thought I'd note something I found that's odd. The Venators for the Empire have the most damage to the front. Why I thought it's odd- well, the Venator has its most powerful dual heavy turbolaser turrets on its SIDES. It also has a pair of medium turbolasers (also dual) that are on the forward spines of the hull, and carries four prow proton torpedo tubes. I just thought that I'd mention this, as the frontal weapons should instead be changed to missiles, while the side

Not trying to sound rude, but it's likely because the SB didn't have anything to its other sides. It may also be how the particle effects work, and there aren't really any emitters that face DIRECTLY to the left/right on the Orkulus.

with something light rig it to have negative armor (I'm sure you could use a passive ability for that) and give it the 'VeryLight' armor type. Voila. Another faux-new armor type.

Reply to ASK DANMAN - Question and Answer in Sins Modding Sins Forums

my guess is that it isn't possible without dev intervention. But there is technically a workaround. If you want something to have super-heavy armor, just give it the heaviest armor type. I'm not sure the exact type that it is, but it's one of the following- CapitalShip, VeryHeavy, or Module armor types. After that, just give the ship/structure/starbase/fighter an obscenely high armor points number. Voila. A faux-new armor type.

probably to bring as many banks (max targets) to bear. Each bank can target 4 ships at a time, without getting the target bank/weapon damage research subject done. After that, the number goes up to 6 I think. Likely a SB turns because the want to try and get as many banks pointing at the enemy, so they can engage as many enemies as possible.

well, Legions has unfortunately kinda died on me. I didn't get that much done (only the SC&Caps for the Taun'Shas, and even then not all Caps), and I've got the entire PAC race done with the exceptions of models/skins. I may end up doing a compilation mod, where some things out of Legions are in it (Taun'Shas rule), and things like that, but for right now, Legions is dead *sigh*. However, this mod isn't as intensive as Legions (existing models for some stuff are more than sufficie

that's in the 'Player[race name here].entity' file. There's a line near the bottom of the file that specifies the AM loss per jump. Ships don't actually NEED AM to jump, but the way that the devs set it up some AM is lost in transit.

well, make sure you enable it properly in Sins of a Solar Empire v1.15-1.17. That means NO ENTRENCHMENT. After that you may have to click through a bit more to find the Republic/CIS/Empire/Alliance. This is something I've never seen before, but from what I hear about the mod (which is awesome by the way) the only serious issue is stability. Try posting on the mod's thread in the Modding Forum, you'll probably get an answer to your problem.

it isn't doen yet (and won't be for some time), but thanks for your support. I wanted to do some things that really haven't been done before (long-range fighters that are scripted as frigates so they can PHASE JUMP. OH YEAH.), like stealth ships that can't be attacked. I am pretty sure that I won't actually be able to make them indetectable to jump radar researches; however I don't think that there will be anything higher than a 'can detect hostile ships that jump to your planets' level for i

Four empires, fallen and disgraced in the eyes of many, are reaching back for the power they once knew. THE EMPIRES- The Pan-Asian Coalition- Tracing its roots back to the ancient nations of China, Russia, the Koreas, Japan, and many Eastern European countries, the PAC has an excellent military, and has the best propoganda of any other empire. Their upgrades for Ice Planets are unrivalled. The European Union of Systems- Rising from a Western-Europe dominated background

Reply to Vasari weapons discussion. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

changing a weapon type is easy. All that's needed is to change a SINGLE line. It goes up if you want the proper effects, or if you want different effects. I once made a little test-mod to see if I could change the effects of a weapon type (TEC Lasers) and make it a different one (Autocannons). The Result? A Sova carrier that looks like it has Kol ACs and sounds like it too, but really just has Lasers

Rez, 'BACKLOADED' refers to the damage application. There are 2 types- 'BACKLOADED' and 'OVERTIME'. Backloaded damage is used on all the projectile weapons, like Pulse Lasers/Guns, Plasma, Missiles, etc. etc. Basically, whenever the entire effects of the burst get to the target, the damage is applied, while on 'OVERTIME', it's applied as the effect is applied. OVERTIME is used exclusively on Beam and Pulse Beam weapons.

thank's very much for the permissions xthetenth. It's mostly for a mod that I'm doing, called 'Empires of Old'. At present, two new races. All the ships will have Missile (TEC, not Vas Phase Missile) and Autocannon weapons. Doesn't seem like much does it? It's not. That is just to help mesh it more easily with the Sins mechanic. Most of the 'weapons' will be weaponized abilities (Like the TEC Burst Rockets on the Gauss Turrets). And that is awesome, especially as it will be a

xthetenth- if your trying to make the Orcas not expire, set the 'expiryTime' line to -1.000000. This will make them only be destroyed when they are actually, well, destroyed.

After all, credit where credit is due.

ah, I believe that the way that you COULD possibly do this is by having the flak weapon, with its flak attack type (ANTIVERYLIGHT/ANTILIGHT), and have it be a RESEARCHABLE upgrade. That's probably how the Vasari Orkulus does it.
