Ben_Maxwell - I do have some skill in modding, and asked Kyogre if he needed any help some months ago. I did not receive a response.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I have shared mine. I side 100% with Unikraken, and the opinions he expressed almost 6 months ago.

That's a shame Kyogre, that you dont "care about the community dissolving" - My question is, if you don't care about the community around this mod, then why do it at all?

Kyogre have you ever been to scifi Meshes and looked the blender fleet that Ice-Dragon made? Some of the best I've seen.

Thank you Microsoft Security Essentials for removing that add aware thingy.

If like me you have troubles downloading big files from megaupload, try this link :

( for version 0.96 )

Okay, I just upgraded from 0.85 to 0.96 and I can honestly say that I am the happiest I've been in weeks. I can't wait until my good computer comes back so I see it on the highest graphics. Low just doesn't do Sins.

the entrenchment v 1.051 update is only available through impulse.

and as for the hidden folders inside a hidden folder to find the mods- folders here is my standard advice

assuming you have sins 1.191/entrenchment 1.051/diplomacy 1.31(the current non-beta versions), AND your windows is installed on the 'C:' drive,  the Mods NEED to be placed here for xp
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.191
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.051
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.31

or here for vista/windows 7
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.191
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.051
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.31

NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop

NOTE 2 the 'user name' in the above paths is your WINDOWS login user name, eg Administrator

and if the mod you want to use is from an EARLIER sins/entrenchment version place the mod in the mods folder FOR THAT version eg mods-entrenchment v1.03, then download and run my mods updater from the latest version archive which will have the same number as the vanilla sins version number, and AFTER updating the mod(s) to the current version for any mods of pre 1.04 entrenchment ALSO run the manifest maker on ENTITY manifests on EACH of the mods EXCEPT for total conversion mods

harpo

That one ship alone can take out a fleet, it reaches level 10 in maybe two large battles so then it's pegasus-class making ability gives it reinforcements it doesnt even need (and can bring a person over the population cap making a literally endless supply of ships) and is quite possibly an unstoppable force if not alone. Making it any less expensive would probably be a bad idea.

Well, it looks like there a few different scifi at war mods given permission to use Sot13t. I'm also working on a fallen version of the Colonial and Cylon with permission, though mine will balanced a bit more towards the stock races.

Hey ZombieRus5.... thank you so much for picking this up... where can I download this? What has been done on the Cylon side i.e. have you updated hud buttons, main view icons etc, and does it include the Boomer Class basestar?

I can understand that. You make a valid point. However, if someone has enough resources to research and build it, is it not likely that they will have already won? I mean, Battlestars are pretty tough as they are. Back in v0.85, I used two Mercury Class Battlestars and one Galactica Class Battlestar to defend against endless onslaughts of the unfinished Basestars. The A.I. was on the Hard setting.

Not sure, but don't think this is the case.

I have no idea what all the feedback is and won't be reading through 58 pages to see. I do have what I think is all his current work though I do have a few questions I'll be posting back to him.

Really what I view I'm doing is a reboot of Sot13t, so it will be a bit different and won't be constrained to the current mod giving me freedom to make changes as I see fit especially in regards to balance.

On the research, the current mod uses primarily Tec and Advent trees with only a few modifications. On the icons, they just weren't very pleasing or uniform to me. Additionally many hud icons were replicated for colonial and they were all using the stock main view and info card icons. I consider this adding polish not covering the same ground twice.

So... still working on the colonials. Found several issues in the textures I'm trying to resolve. Here's a couple shots of the fixed textures for the constructor and shipyards...

The Jupiter is going to be pulled for now as it has some Tangent problems causing weird lighting. I'm going to put in a new Thor class Battlestar in it's place.
