Suggestion/Question

April 13, 2008 3:18:47 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
I just found out that you can rename the planets under your control (and the Capital Ships as well). Its not that big of a deal, but I thought it would be cool to rename the faction for a game. I did hear you can do that and upload your own pic into the game with some program but I'm not really good with that kind of stuff. Just thought maybe that could happen, unless someone would like to run me through on how to do this...

Now for the question...What exactly do those plasma/magnetic storms or whatever that I find do? Are they just there for no reason?

Click on the icon of the magnetic / plasma storm, or even some asteroid fields or space junks, and in the 'button area', there should be an icon. Mouseover it to see what it does.

For what it's worth, Plasma Storms are supposed to disable strikecraft from launching (though mine still seem to do it), and Magnetic Storms disable antimatter from being used (or maybe it's the other way around).

Asteroids of Space Junks sometimes cause a 20% chance to hit penalty.

For adding a new race etc, check the modding subforum.

Oh...I didn't notice the little button there, lol. Thanks.

As for the other thing, is it possible for someone to move it to that forum? That way I don't have to make another thread asking the same thing basically...
(Or can I move it myself?)
