That could work sinperium but it would require a complete overhaul of all the titans because they are very different in regards to strengths and weaknesses. I really dont see how a single vessel could be the bane of everyone of them unless it was simply a more powerful titan.

Yes the Dreadnoughts ... I initially included them to go against starbases ... but anti-titans is a thought.

They as still a little bit too punchy currently ... I agree with Malanthor

Hi Malanthor,

Thanks for the feedback!

Still it was a lot of work ...

I wish I could ... only one ability per planet, apart from, to my best knowledge, the rest is hardcoded

Good point ... I'll look into it

Thanks for pointing it out

I agree with your ideas on the Rebel and Loyalist factions ... one more aggressive, the other more "productive"

At this stage I'm working on the Norlamins, so any ideas would be useful

I agree ... for Rebellion, I'll give it some thought

Good idea ... for the new races ... I don't want to alter the original races though

I think this is wishful think ... I also wish!

Thanks

I'll check it ... thanks!

I think if you had a single dreadnaught it might be a nice role for them but when they really level up and you have several, not so balanced in such a role.

So annoying not having the maelstrom races installed (only rebellion installed now since a pc crash)  One thing you could do would be to give the trade alliance rebel or whatever peace treaty with pirates like the tec rebels (i feel it fits better with trade alliance actually)and maybe also use of their forces. Maybe some mercenary forces could be implemented with a different twist than the tec rebels. Trade alliance special powers should atleast to some degree focus on trade i reckon, while the rebel could focus on some form of theft:stealing credits from people in their culture or leeching off money whenever anyone else makes a purchase etc etc, endless ideas here. But then i dont even know how you want to divide the trade alliance yet, my own take is less defense/offense and more legitimate business vs organized crime, that may not fit your idea of the trade alliance at all.

Norlamin should be fairly easy, some specific culture/research and defensive power for the loyalist vs offensive power for the rebels.

Replicators loyalist should prob have offensive weapon research+extermination stuff/planet bombing/virus vs diplomatic stuff/alliances for the rebel faction.

Meh i cant really think of anything concrete without having the factions infront of me. Buhu.

Eagerly awaiting the first race though. <rubs hands eagerly together>

I have a small problem. I downloaded the mod, installed into right folder and also activated from in game mod options.

But..

I can't choose new races? I only get old factions. TEC, Advent and Vasari loyalists & rebels. When I start game, I can see the mod is active because there are options for dreadnaughts and lots of new planets.

What do? How can I play new races? 

Any info when they come out for Rebellion? So basically if we want to play with these new races with my friend we need to play diplomacy then. 

Hi thefinalfrontier,

I can't speak for all the Sins modders, but I appreciate your positive feedback. There are some excellent mods and modders in this community and of course it is great that the Sins developers have given  us all a fantastic platform to expand and experiment on.

I've uploaded R2 which includes the Norlamins. I will release it in a day or so.

With the additional content in Rebellion each race takes quite a lot of work to get right. So at this stage I would say it takes about one month per race.

Awesome!

I'll let you know if you did good after I go through the customary research and ship balancing.  I never could understand why you intend on giving all the new races as much research as possible.  They don't need it and it screws with the balancing of the game.  Your models and abilities (save replication being buggy) have always been solid, though.  Yes, this includes even when the Norlamin capital ships looked like flying metal dildos.

YES!!!! that always distracted me while i was in the middle of a big battle

Thanks, would appreciate feedback. With regards the game imbalance ... the first mod that I played was 7DS, to really understand and appreciate game imbalance you just have to play 7DS. It was never a problem though as you can setup the opposition AI's to counter balance this. So what I'm saying is imbalance is one of my least priorities ... hey, but that's me

Which ones?
