[quote who="mikefacciola" reply="73" id="3433326"] Good sir I believe this was a post from last year, so any eta on a first release of the beta?[/quote] [quote who="GoaFan77" reply="63" id="3431043"] Hard to say for sure. I wanted to have the Empire Beta done by New Years but the Stellar Phenomenon DLC of course prevented that from happening. Progress has been good lately though, if this can keep up (and it probably won't) I should have an ETA by the end of January.[/quo

I don't particularly like the footers I have to define terms so I'm adding a glossary. I'm also working towards getting a pdf exporter that allows me to utilize the hyperlinks in the table of contents (this will also allow me to create hyperlinks from terms to the glossary). I've also created a cover page to be included in the next release, you can see a very small image below or on the website. It's pretty bland but I felt I needed a cover page, however poor it ma

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="5" id="3433251"] From what I've seen, the AI is terrible at multi-star maps. It is incredibly slow at expanding to non-home star systems and is even worse at protecting said expansion systems. This is mainly because it prefers to keep its main army in its home system until there are no more enemies left. I would recommend playing either on a single-system map or a map with a large amount of star systems (eg. Voruk's Labyrinth), since havi

I feel like we should be able to shift click a path for our ships to follow when they are built, thus manually have them avoid trouble spots.

The most recent galaxy forge can be found in your sins directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Galaxy Forge) The galaxy forge executable in that folder is updated with the game and will always be the most recent, which means you can use DLC planets in your custom maps. Happy map making :)

Reply to Fixing Underused Capital Ships and Capital Ship Abilities in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

On the subject of the Marauder, I'd personally like to see it have some sort of offensive buff, whether it be worked in to distort gravity or subversion or replace one of those abilities. I would propose a phase missile upgrade in the distort gravity ability (kind of makes sense that if you can phase jump closer to planets your phase missiles would be more effective) but this would encroach upon the territory of the Stilakus Subverter and Distort Gravity is already an awesome abil

When I finally finished what was going to be Chapter 6 I decided that I didn't have enough Vasari characters (or Vasari character development). Therefore I pushed the original Chapter 6 back to Chapter 7 and wrote another Chapter 6, one which introduces more Vasari characters and details their roles and struggles (Meaning you're going to get a double dose of chapters in the coming release). I've also completed the map which is now on the first page of the story (I have yet

Getting goosebumps writing Chapter 6. Not sure if it's the -10 °C weather coupled with my drafty window or the content of the chapter but either way it has begun with a bang. Map is also coming along (As has always been my plan, the Traders will have 6 systems, each with about 10 planets). Anyways, I wanted to get a bit of work done on the chapter before 2013 came to a close. I doubt I'll get any work done tomorrow (with New Year and whatnot). Have a safe and

[quote who="Turchany" reply="3" id="3429807"] The average player who does not even realize static defenses are bad, would not really benefit from this. [/quote] This is true. The AI would need to stop suiciding itself on defensive structures in order to make this a viable method. I'm sure it could be done though.

Chapter 6 will likely be delayed until mid/late January [e digicons]:'([/e] Since I'm pushing back the chapter I plan on adding a full map of the galaxy for reference. I'll likely add it to the front, between the TOC and Prologue. I hope adding the map will make things a bit more clear when I discuss places for both political and military reasons. If the map is too large a size to fit into the story I will have it posted as a separate file. It's possible that th

I would suggest always having at least one guaranteed phase lane (I always go through, lay down my planets, connect all my guaranteed lanes then add my chance lanes). As far as I know there isn't a way to make the lane default to a unique value, meaning you'll need to manually change every phase lane you want to be a chance lane.

Personally, my take on the rebellion is as follows. TEC - Rebels want to fight the aliens, loyalists want to ride out the fighting and persevere with minimal fighting Vasari - Rebels don't think they are strong enough to fight the unknown enemy and want to ally with everyone to increase their odds of success, loyalists just want to keep running, they don't want to fight this unknown enemy if they can outrun it Advent - Rebels don't believe th
