Modifying Starting Planets

January 16, 2009 3:36:25 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Okay, here is a question that I have yet to find an answer to.  Is there a way to mod the Starting Planets in the game based on race other then making maps?  Basically I want to further increase race diversion in my mod and so have the TEC's default home planet as Terran, Advent as Desert, and Vasari as a Volcanic home planet that I will make myself instead of all three races starting on Terran Planets.

Starting points are based on the map. There's at least one map where everyone starts with desert planets as home planets.

Granted, and I understand that.  What I am trying to find out if there is a way to be able to get each race to start on a different planet within the same map as their own default.  Its a long shot but figured I would ask.

Not that I know of. With some work there might be a way to make certain maps do that, but I doubt it.

might be, but im not sure, last ive heard of the general topic was in 1.05 before all the changes and i think map scenarios was the closest that came to it. other than that, you got to edit the home planet in the map settings.

Yeah I think it's impossible as is.  But since the original intent of the game was to have each race start on a different planet, maybe they will give us this ability if we ask :/
