SoGE-Team

Thank you. However, now that I've downloaded, extracted it, and enabled the mods, I can't start a game without it closing on me.

At first I didn't. However, I did it exactly as on the ReadMe and still the same result..

Hey, how many patches are out for the Rebellion version of this mod? Where can I find them?

Thanks guys for your help. I was able to extract and play the game without it crashing.

One question for you, I know there is technology to get titan class ships but where is the structure to build them? I couldn't find it.

Edit: I tried a new map and I found the supercap foundry. I tell it to build the supercap and the game crashes on me.

Having a bit of a weird problem. Had a working perfectly version (latest for entrenchment) of SOGE. I needed to update to 1.34 Diplomacy for the startrek mod, and while doing this (did not realise at the time) entrenchment was updated from 1.051 to 1.053. So, I grabbed all of the data from my mods 1.051 folder and copied and pasted to the mods 1.053 folder.

Started a new game and was playing away, with, apparently no problems. I then discovered that all of the ai opponents had zero costs for all of their research, and, fleets supply was at the second level (as if they had researched it) but the actual research tab was still able to be selected as if they had not researched it (nor were they getting the effect of the 9% economic penalty, just the supply bonus). I went searching for an older save game, and, at the start of the game, the ai's research was normal, so something they do (I think researching somthing) is having this very weird effect.

Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas?

Edit. After some save/reload investigation, the ai starts as normal, then as soon as it selects anything to research (not finished, just selected) all other research costs go down to zero, and, both max capital ship, and max supply goes up one level with them being researched. ???? Please help.

Ah. Thanks for the reply. Where is the mechanics behind this, as, because I like to alter my games in terms of hit poits, shield points, planet growth, and a whole host of other things, rather then changing hundreds of files, I did my modifications in, you guessed it, max supply ships, which usually the ai researched very early. However, now that they get these for free they are not researching the max ships slots from the start. (Which I require for my modifications to work)

Effects:

I am meeting the ai and my ships are 100% hull, and 200% shield stronger. Also, does their zero research cost go on for good? Is this a SOGE thing, or an Entrenchment thing? I have found that on any of the 'extra' planet maps (which is all I play) the ai on very hard seems to go alright. Thanks

Edit. Found a work around, as I put my changes into the base artefact research, so, my changes are in for all factions right from the beginning now (which incidentally,  is better then my old way-thanks to a previous poster for this idea). Still, I would like to know is this is an entrenchment or SOGE thing, and, how long does this effect last?

I think something is broken with this mod for Rebellion(both patches).  I might be crazy so I'll explain.  I played Random Small as CIS against Republic.  It was a normal AI random to just play with the mod.  Everything went well, the Repub AI just turtled. I destroy a couple of their planets and then stuff got bad. Media Hubs.  Their culture spread started reaching all over, trumping my established culture spread.  An hour later of losing and reclaiming parts of my area I go back onto the offensive. Warp in to one of their planets and BOOM! 25 media hubs all grouped together. 

Not sure if that was intentional or not by the mod.  Knew it was sort of weird that I had 5 titans. Only 1 of General Grevious's ship tho.

hey, is the beta just for entrenchment? or does it also include rebellion?

so what happens when you say you want to sign up for the beta?..

The Lucrehulk DCS' ability fires off at random.

Looking over it again, it shouldn't be random; it just reapplies the buff every 5 seconds. However, I do have a possible solution, in fact it's one that I'd enjoy seeing you test out. First, open the file "BUFF_DROIDCONTROLSIGNAL.entity" and change Level:0 of actionIntervalTime to 1.0. Second, go to "BUFF_DROIDCONTROLSIGNALEFFECT.entity" and change Level:0 of finishConditionType "TimeElapsed" to 3.0 and this will result in the buff being applied, and reapplied, more often.

As for planet characteristics, you will first have to create a new one (or copy the one from stock Sins) and add it to entity.manfest. Then open "PlanetPirateBase.entity" and increase requiredPlanetBonusesCount by 1, then after that add in the line: bonus "NewPlanetCharHere"               Do note that this bonus line does not include the .entity suffix.

Sounds good, thanks a bunch! And yeah, that's what I intended to do with the buff. I mean theoretically you can speed up the application/removal of the buff even more, which would make it instant, but that would make the ability overpowered, and just another Coordinated Targeting.

This is intentional. If these planets benefited from refineries, they would be absurdly powerful. I am also working on strengthening refineries, so they become more useful, versus the halved tactical slot cost stopgap they currently have.

Save games don't work, test ability alterations in dev.

DCS is set to apply to fighters and doesn't require shield damage, I don't know if I was the one that did that tard setting or someone else was(I did a lot of tard), but if it's on a fighter you'd have a hell of a time noticing.

It should come with HasShieldDamage as an additional constraint, and without Fighter in the target list.  As they can't have shields, a shield restore and steroid is even more wasted on them.  Elite Engineers was written much better, having a proper target filter.

I really need to come back and rewrite a lot of stuff in ways that don't suck, but I'm seriously lazy.  This particular ability needs redone to only affect droid ships, something I wasn't smart enough to figure out when I did them.
