Ok if you want to ship limit is to make the ship limit to an insane number

and to increase the number of building you have to increase the number on each of the planet types

First donwload the forge tools, but they are out of date, but use them as a template.

If you are using xp go to

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\

There you will see folders marked mod-(version) go in there, and create a folder called Limit and planet or whatever, then open the folder and create a folder called gameinfo

go into the forge tools open the reference files, copy the files called researchsubject_maxshipslots(race)(number).entity and then paste into in to the mod gameinfo folder and search for planet copy all of the files that are marked planet(type).entity copy them and paste them back into the mod folder as well.

Ok lets do the maxshipsslots(race)(number) first, open with notepad, and change

researchModifier
    modifierType "ShipMaxSlots"
    baseValue 0.000000
    perLevelValue 320.000000 or whatever number you want

change perLevelValue to whatever number you wish and go thru each file and change as you please

Now for the logical and tatical, open planet(type), with notepad,

and change for each file

stage
            price
                credits 450.000000
                metal 150.000000
                crystal 75.000000
            upgradeTime 45.000000
            maxModuleSlotCount:Civilian 18.000000 change here to whatever number you want
            maxModuleConstructorCount 1 change here to whatever number you want

same for tatical

        stage
            price
                credits 0.000000
                metal 0.000000
                crystal 0.000000
            upgradeTime 0.000000
            maxModuleSlotCount:Tactical 5.000000 change here to whatever number you want
            maxModuleConstructorCount 1 change here to whatever number you want

no no, easier way, just make all ships have 0 slot counts, found here:

basePrice
    credits 1010.00
    metal 160.00
    crystal 140.00
slotCount 14.00
BuildTime 63.00
hasLevels FALSE
ExperiencePointsForDestroying 80.00
MaxHullPoints 1460.00
MaxShieldPoints 780.00
HullPointRestoreRate 1.50
ShieldPointRestoreRate 1.00
BaseArmorPoints 3.00
maxMitigation 0.60

as for structures change this to 0 in the panet module entities:

planetUpgradeSlotType "Civilian"
planetUpgradeSlotCount 4.000000
basePrice
    credits 1000.000000
    metal 200.000000
    crystal 200.000000

Karma much appreciated

because forge tools is outdated. you have to converty files yourself using the ConvertData.exe found in the sins install directory. there is several graphical user interface's on the forums that makes this a LOT easier.

cant someone just  make a mod that does not limit the number of capital ships / freight ships / or squadrons for a player?

actually, harpo99999, i have 8gb RAM and my computer slows well before the RAM tops from the CPU topping out.

and i have a 3ghz core2duo

dammit i did not know that. that is why, in my mod, i totally remade the strike craft and ships. to better balance it for the "lags" i was experiencing. and i built this computer better than my last one, for xmas, because i thought it would run SoaSE better. /sigh

mooster, for your info I had turned all effects off and all details to low, and STILL had a slideshow

harpo

An even easier way to do it is just up the slots in gameplay.constants for the "large" fleet sizes. One line affects everything.
