Still on my first game with Firefall v2.1 but I'm loving it so far. No problems yet.

I didn't notice any real change with the pirates. Adding the volumetric explosions was really nice, I can actually see when strike craft go pop. So far I haven't found anything I don't like about Firefall.

RanCid,

                  I'm merging StarFall and FireFall for Entrenchment now, it may be several weeks before i have something approaching workable and ready, but wanted everyone to know. 

Oh, my boy comes home today!!!  Isnt is cool, he is okie and we are so happy to have him home safe and well.

 Thanks, he was tired, meds are doing that, but he is healthy and alive and im thankful for that. Am thinking of doing something else to FireFall before finishing the StarFall/FireFall merge. Anything you can think of you'd like?

-Teal

  Good idea, see what i can do. 

Take care,

unintentional, i need to reload ManShooter's Volumetric Explosions and Damage mod, the one with BailKnight's Graphics mod.  The white you see, is the "lack" of the explosion data (mesh and textures i believe). Will fix it tonight and get a new version up. I will post it to FileFront. I will post back to let you know.   Sorry, i feel bad, that is crappy to have happen in a game.

I know Vunda, but still it shouldnt be there, or really the nice explosions should really be there. I appreciate you cutting me slack on this mess up, but still, i should have checked it more thoroughly. Thought i did, but i missed it. My game went boom tonight, i tried to update my maps in the galaxy folder and kept getting mini-dumps afterward when i tried to load the game. So it looks like i will be spending the night deleting and restarting and then re-installing the game. I will get straight to the FireFall fix though in the morning. Sorry to everyone, take care and see you on the forum tomorrow,

JJBuck2,

                  YOu are more than welcome to take my mod and add yours, right now mine only affects caps in adding the extra strikecraft and in having each cap ship now carry a anti-strikecraft gun. The other changes are planets and the research adding more caps and supply points and the increase on the Pirates. 

If you copy mine, add your cap ships and your new abilities/changed abilities, your research (the ones you changed, if you add your maxcapships, or maxshipslots it will change the count i have in there) but everything else should be fine.

You can call it whatever you like, just credit my changes from yours and its all cool.     Although to be honest my little mod isn't half as complex as yours sounds like it has been, you could duplicate what i have done and not mention me at all.  Haha, but whatever you feel comfortable with. 

As for my adding your changes to FireFall?  I dont mean to sound bad, but im getting ready to merge my StarFall and FireFall mods for 1.02 that add all the ships and the 3 new races i made to 1.02. Its been a plan of mine, but hard to implement as im really comfortable with vanilla, and the new manifest in Entrenchment was throwing me for a loop. It will take me longer to get it merged than if i did it all in vanilla, but its where we can all get the best surge of ships and planets and everything that Entrenchment adds to make one heck of a game.    So that is what i have planned. My tweaks for the caps will probably be different than yours, not to say yours aren't good, because they sound very fantastic! But instead of making the caps stronger, my plan is to make them "weaker". I should explain a bit.

Not "weaker" just to make them weaker, but rather to give them "specific" purposes, like the colonyship will actually colonize and capture resource asteroids, but little else, to strip away the other abilities that dont support that and to add abilities that do for those total slots. What this means is that some caps will be relatively weak and will need to be guarded. The carriers will carry almost exclusively strikecraft, but the power and lifespan will be severly limited on those, but they will carry a heck of a lot of them. But strong anti-aircraft fire should be able to handle them as a balance.

In other words im going to make some strong and some weak, and they will have to have escorts that caps usually dont have now, becuase they can usually handle the burden in heavy combat.

The reason im doing this, or planning on doing it, is to make the combat last longer, be more varied and see if some interesting things happen. In some games in vanilla, the cap ships are quite capable, and battles in early game are short and not very much more than simply having more fire power on your side than the other guy has. But what i want, is something where the fire power is not as big a deal. If abilities, or out-flanking the other armada means keeping two thirds of my fleet intact in a dead gravity well on the way to one that has resources. That means fighting them back instead of fighting to the death on every planet.

Its all meant to make things more fun, and to shake things up a bit,   Haha, just for the fun of it. IronClad has a neat game, but if i take out a lot of resources and raise prices on research and make ships weak intentionally then things take a lot more "watching and microing" on my part, and i think that makes it interesting. 

Of course just because i think its cool, doesn't mean everyone else will too.    But anyway, that is where im headed. As i said you are more than welcome to add merge my mod with yours and put your name on it. But im not entirely sure i can add yours to mine, when im getting ready to shake up my caps in the opposite direction yours are. Anyway, sounds like an interesting mod, im gonna have to download it and give it a play, sounds like fun!!  Let me know how it goes and if you need help with something. I'll help if i have the time and can, take care,

Keep Modding and Have Fun!!!

Recently my real life has gotten very crazy. Would prefer not to go into that, but i have to put everything on hold, until life gets calm again. Nothing can get updated if i cant work on it, and right now, at least for awhile it seems, i wont be able to do that.

I probably wont be on the computer for awhile, and the problems ive been trying to work through for HP, StarFall and FireFall as well as the merger for Entrenchment and the other mods will have to sit, until i do. Sorry to everyone, take care and see you when i have a chance to get back.
