Action Mod 1.2

http://files.filefront.com/Shawabawas+Action+Mod+12rar/;9708439;/fileinfo.html
from Sins Forums
Just finished the next version of my mod, the key changes from the previous version are:

-Normal speed is roughly the same as Fast speed was last version, Fast speed is much faster. Slow speed is roughly unmodded fast speed.
-Phase jump charge up time increased to 11 seconds from 7 seconds
-Siege weapons do double damage
-Stars have 50% larger gravity well, and have phase jump disruption (Stars are now key strategic points, you can't just run through them any more)
-All projectiles move twice as fast (missiles, plasma etc)

See full change log below for more details

EDIT: Version 1.2 out, link and changelog has been updated

Some good stuff there for people that like really quick game play.

Nice, I've been working on something similar. Looks like there are others out there who want a faster game. How does the size of the star's gravity well affect things?

I just found before that stars gravity wells were too small to have proper fights, and now the increased gravity well, phase disruption and solar regeneration means you can have truly epic fights around stars and you can use them as choke points now.

What does phase disruption do? Make charge up times much much higher or something? And if so, how long is the phase charge up time when leaving a star?

atm it's exactly the same as a phase disruptor, 250% longer charge ups leaving stars.

How did you edit the gravity well size? I can't seem to find the spot. By the way, great mod! I played a game with a friend and we had a lot of fun.

Pirates don't attack for 150 minutes? That sounds a bit much to me, unless they come in extreme strength...

Cheers on an excellent mod addition for gameplay. This will make multi-system maps much more interesting in that you can defend your star's gravity well as a single choke point. That will also lend itself very well to working with the TrueSpace map system. :CONGRAT:
