[quote who="Aplos" reply="519" id="3605146"]And could you add "FriendlyWithPirates" research bool modifier just to become friends with pirates and stay everyone else hostile, please[/quote] I don't think this is even possible; pirates and militia are both expressly designated as neutrals, which is how the TEC Rebels' modifier works.

[quote who="Madriel" reply="515" id="3604192"] Since this has turned in some kind of wishlist, would it be possible to improve abilitys for squads/figthers? Like "ApplyBuffToTarget" or "ApplyBuffToSelf" so the squad can start a unique attack or improve itself for a period of time. Something like that would be awesome. [/quote] You can already achieve an ApplyBuffToSelf by putting an ability on the host ship with ApplyBuffToTargetsLinked.

[quote who="Wintercross" reply="501" id="3601663"]Yup, that was the idea, purchasable upgrades and each ship being able to be named. The idea being each ship can specialise. Had actually coded the upgrades for a cruiser that would have given you an option of upgraded armor, long range missile pods or an upgrade to the spinal main gun.[/quote] You could always make variants of the capital ship itself, some with more armor, some with more weapons, etc, and make use of al

[quote who="Wintercross" reply="496" id="3601354"]My original plan was to make AI versions of each faction (and use the faction selection menu for player and AI versions) that just use frigate variants with alternate versions with the upgrades or something along those lines.[/quote] Might I recommend going that route for humans as well from the onset? I'm really unsure as to what features you need for a general ship that capital ships cannot do.

Reply to [Feedback/Request] On Map Version 4 and the aspect of "Chance" in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Not a coding request, however, would it be possible to have Sins' exe be flagged for Large Address Aware, to allow for the game to use up to 3GB of memory? Virtually all large mods, and even regular Sins multiplayer to an extent, end up hitting the 2GB RAM limit resulting in instability or crashes. Further, from what I have gleaned, enabling the LAA flag has no negative impacts on any post-Windows XP computer in terms of performance or stability.

While it's been quite a long time since this thread was posted... It was found that setting moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius to -1.0 seems to act as a sort of wildcard.

Both of those changes are pretty awesome. For the Hyperion Shrinker, might I recommend it being either reduced to 0.5% or 1%, or the effect being changed to being a minor logistics boost, via the logic that smaller modules are easier to haul around and lighter, thus easing the burden on logistic trains?

This might be a crazy suggestion, but perhaps let military rings be added on in addition to any other single ring? Unless the changes are substantial, and they may very well be, military starbases have always seemed like an utter waste to me.

[quote who="naselus" reply="44" id="3570170"]No. Frankly, I was going to update it this week, but decided against it due to the number of bugs and general instability in 1.1, which means there's likely to be a lot of changes before it goes live. I'll only be making the mod for full release versions of the game from now on, I think. [/quote] I've actually been playing on the 1.1 optin; the mod doesn't appear to be any less stable than vanilla.

The AI will build sensor boats if the designs are avaliable. They are not an exploit in AI vs Human if all of the major races have a sensor boat design.

I started playing this mod recently and I must say it is amazing. Expansion actually feels like a challenge in general, and even on an Insane-Abundant map. I no longer feel like I'll just absolutely roll the AI due handily beating them in the expansion phase, as now I'm starting to feel the effects of over expansion, as I scramble to get my wealth planets up to speed.

[quote who="Taslios" reply="4" id="3568356"] I really hope they get moral to do something soon.... In GCII having low moral would slow down your population growth... [/quote] This is the case in GC3. Having a lower approval results in direct penalties to population growth, raw production, and influence, all the way to -25%, while having 100% approval results in a 25% bonus. In 1.1, this is properly reflected in the tooltips/UI.
