As most of us know, there are two main communities in Sins of a Solar Empire, one for multiplayer and one for modding. Bar the occasional group of friends playing a mod on ICO together however, these two communities rarely interact with each other, besides occasional discussions of game balance.

 

Therefore I propose a little icebreaker in the true Sins fashion, complete with the typical disintegration of metal, screams of nuked worlds, and if we're lucky even the rare space pony sighting, that we've all come to know and love, regardless of which form of Sins we get most of our entertainment from. Yes, I think its time for the first ever Pro Player vs Modders MP game!

 

Of course as we are meeting in the Pro player's home court, I think in the interest of a semi-interesting game the modders will need a team advantage of some sort. Any ideas on the exact number of players on each team as well as the best time to arrange this will be welcome (I'd guess sometime on Thanksgiving weekend). And of course, if you're interested do let us know.

I'd like to have one pro player sort of be in charge of the logistics of making the game who promises to be there, presumably if any of the other pros don't show we can find substitutes at the game launch. As modders don't often log on to ICO don't commit unless you're sure you can make it at whatever time we agree on. Also if possible I think it would be nice for as many different mods as possible to be represented, but obviously filling the roster comes first.

Friends.

We now have Rebellion.

We now have mods for Rebellion.

We are lacking casual modded games on multiplayer.

I think we all know what we should do this Saturday evening.

Quoting -Ue_Carbon,

Well it doesn't have to be Saturday, if I remember correctly its just that Seleuceia can never do Fridays. It might be amusing to see how well hungover Carbon plays on Sunday.

You only have to put it down for a few hours.

Seleuceia can do some fridays at some times....

Here's the deal, I'm usually with the lady on fridays, but it isn't always a late night so I can usually get on sometime after midnight or so...additionally, me and the lady don't always do stuff on fridays, so some fridays I'm completely free....free to either play sins or do...other things that might involve bottles and shot glasses....

So, if you want me online with 15 shots of Vodka, well...I suppose I can get on...fuck it, this friday I may do just that...or saturday....or both...which nights do you want to play with buzzed Seleuceia?

FYI, I think I'm likely free the next 2 friday nights...I think....

If Boshimi is able to come to this, you have no excuse. Speaking of which, I hope he sees this.

I guess then the question is what mod to use. These are what I can think of. Any other suggestions welcome.

Infinite Space

Sins of a Galactic Empire

Blood and Chrome

Enhanced 4X

Yes yes I can see just fine. I just don't have more than 10-15 minutes during lunch or at 11pm when I get home from work ...

 

Are these mods all compatible to the latest version of Sins? If so I'll start downloading them tonight when I get in. They might be done by the morning.

After double checking Blood and Chrome is still lagging behind at 1.031 (Come on Zombie! ). SoGE is up to date but you have to sign up for their beta. If you guys really want to try it though I'm pretty sure I can just put it on my dropbox for a day or something.

Infinite Space and E4X are both publicly available for 1.04 on Moddb.

You should see all the red X's in Eclipse 

I actually do have a lot done with the Colonials, but also have a lot of WIP stuff I've decided to slowly go through over the next several months. Plus I want to work on my Quasi-total conversion mod at some point.

Fair enough, but I hope we get to add something of yours in the near future to our mod list. It will be fun to have another WTF are we doing moment like we had in Maelstrom, so I guess we'll see which of the Battlestar Galactica/Mass Effect/Star Trek/Halo mods gets done first.

Did that titan just spawn 14 missile turrets? I would be pissed if my ships didn't automatically clone themselves.

 

Seriously though guys, if no one has any comments I'm picking infinite space as the mod we'll use.
