[quote who="KingMakerRook" reply="142" id="3058077"]Any particular reason that there is no script to have the first free Cap ship? I'm really, really enjoying this mod (bloody fantastic work), but the "no-free-flagship" kind of caught me off guard.[/quote] Primarily because eventually that would mean free supercaps. As a compromise, that's why you start with enough credits and resources to buy a capital ship right off of the bat on any map, assuming you select quick start.

Sorry for the double post, but I was wondering if getting "FAILED VERTEX CHECKSUM" with ConvertXSI means anything? I've gotten it before with some models, though they look fine ingame.

EaW is really moddable, I remember that from back when I made the Hull Breach mod years ago. Vanilla though, is weird. Like Zeta said, Petro suddenly decided to switch to new ships rather than use existing ones, heck even the Tartan's files clearly reference the Carrack. Then there's the entire Zann Consortium in which every single unit is overpowered. Literally, every single one of their units, in comparison to their Rebel and Empire counterparts, is superior. The one example I alway

For some reason, when I got coruscant and a few other planets, I still had more credits than my brother even though he had more planets and they all maxed with econ. Thats just one example of many. So, I suppose Requiem might be a better choice? I mean, I would prefer Requiem over Galactic

PlanetModuleBuildTime is a percentage, ex. 300%, UnderConstructionRate is probably a fixed amount, i.e. X seconds, but I can't confirm the latter.

Reply to How to make the AI "cheat fair", tips for balancing mods for the AI in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I've found that if you give the AI capital ships that level up to 3 as soon as they are built the AI will spam capital ships. It isn't unusual to see fleets with 6+ capitals per fleet with such autoleveling. This was observed in the SoGE beta, before this was bumped down to level 2 due to being overwhelming because of our titans. As well, if you reduce the research cost to 0 for the AI, it will keep researching. I realize this sounds silly, but it makes the AI play a good deal better,

Requiem keeps the vanilla factions and balance currently set up in Sins, while Sins of a Galactic Empire is a total conversion mod (i.e. no vanilla factions, etc). While both are Star Wars mods, they've set out to do entirely different things.

It's an ability that is used by both frigates and capital ships (capitals have a version that's stronger). I'll play around with the ranges though, and see if that works. I had attempted to set the aiUseTime to OnlyWhenManyTargetsHaveShieldDamage earlier, to no avail unfortunately. Bah, if only there was a constraint of "IsSelf" then this would work pe
