Introduction

The Maelstrom Mod introduces four new races to the SoaSE Universe.

It keeps the original races, the TEC, Advent and Vasari who are still to be found building and battling as usual.

All of the new races are independent of the original races and have unique strengths and weaknesses.

On Zombie's list of mods, I followed the link.

I can delete and re-download.  Where should I do it from?

There are no download links in that thread, they'll only link to maelstrom's three locations: this thread, moddb and his external website.

He's asking where you physically downloaded the mod from... what specific link...

Awesome mod :)

 

Any idea when the other races will be released for Rebellion?

THANKS!

Glad you like the mod.

The labs work fine with me, and I tore apart the mod. I haven't noticed any bugs on the Valeron, either.

XATHOS ... thanks for letting me know

Hello lads, I've been playing your mod recently and even with one race it's blatently awesome.

So, how's going the work with the other races?

Not sure what you are referring to?

You really need to reduce the eco slots on the dyson planets by a factor of about 5.  I can get about 300 cred just from trade ports on a dyson sphere.  no upgrades.  Also, make the population on the dyson swarms grow by about another 35% less.  Mine got up to 600 creds a sec with upgrades and that's crap.

I don't know if you guys have fixed this in the last few months, but if you haven't, please do.

The mod isn't balanced, and he already knows this.

I have reduced the population caps and bonus' for a lot of the planets for R9 (O, E, D) and R2 (R). It is converging towards a final solution.

and don't bug me ... I'm on Holidays! :grin:

No, that's not it.  It's the number of, and access to, technology compared to what the vanilla races have is mainly what makes this unbalanced.  This isn't the first time I pointed this out.  I could bring up ship abilities, but I honestly haven't gone over those with a fine tooth comb to claim one way or another.

Regardless, release what you want.  It's your mod. 

Reply #1364 from Sins Forums Top

can you made new version of this mod with all of the original features in it except only the new planets you put in... if cant, can you only take out all the dreadnought for the original faction in soase and make it as a normal ships add on mod... i really like those dreadnaught...

Reply #1365 from Sins Forums Top

Im sure he has better things to do than to cater to your personal needs. :P

Reply #1366 from Sins Forums Top

Perhaps, if the number of technologies, or lack thereof, is an issue, a possible solution is simply to increase the max number of research levels for most of the vanilla races' techs?

Just got to play as the Trade Alliance, and everything seems amazing, just 1 things seem to have caught my attention

 

1. Does the Trade Allinace scout say "what the Frak"? Or something along those lines?

the 4th level of almost all norlamin and trade alliance capitol ship abilities are broken, providing worse stats when upgraded. the contents of the GameInfo folder only have 3 levels specified for abilities when there should be 4 e.g.

this is after i manually changed it. its a fix, but time consuming. sorry for the text wall, just being concise.

Reply #1369 from Sins Forums Top

Ive searched the forum for more peeps withs this problem, but cant find any. I got the steam version of SOSE reb. When i play the game with the mod on, sometimes i can build all ships and sometimes i can build them but the model of the ship is missing. I see exhaust trails and lights but no model.

 

Anyone else had this problemen i mostly play the game on large maps with 4 or 5 ais.

Reply #1370 from Sins Forums Top

just ant to ask...why did some of the ships or structures wont explode although after they were destroyed. anyone got this problem

Reply #1371 from Sins Forums Top

chundai, if you looked at the ability makeup, you'd notice one key line: maxNumLevels 3. That means that the ability intentionally, either due to it being a port from Trinity, a lack of time, or both, does not have a fourth level and it is not made to have one.

Reply #1372 from Sins Forums Top

Hello, would anyone know if there's an (easy) way to mix this mod with Sins: Requiem? (A star wars mod that just adds the factions without any modifications to the original races or gameplay to speak of).

Reply #1373 from Sins Forums Top

most likely not SG23 sorry

A word to the wise ... very few abilities use the 4th level
