I have got a change of mind, I go to upload the mod because perhaps the problem is from me. Who knows, perhaps the LAA is not working. Live is strange.

After forget the last problems. I have started to improve a bit more some of the additional factions. The Hutts will gain some new units. Some of them are replacements for other units and others are additional units.

At first place the new colony ship from the Hutts. A small frigate with light weapons and the addition from a hangar bay. Perhaps I will add some new fighters.

Another addition is the Hutt Corvette. This model has a ??? because it has some bad triangles and first I must see if I can remove them but thinking what I could make with other models, I believe how I will add this.

I suppose how you recognize it as the model from Warb_Null with a new skin from Nawrocki.

This other of the new units. The Narshadda Destroyer with the skin from the Hutts made by Nawrocki. In a first place, I had several problems with some vertex and after one hour working with 3Dmax and Softimage, I got a good model for the game. I have this design with a skin from Rebels and other from Empire, perhaps I will add it for these other factions, who knows.....

At FOC, this model had a animation making it larger or shorter. At SOASE there are not animations and it will look as you see always. It is not the last, I have converted other models as the Jabba Cruiser and the Hutt Cruiser. However I could not add them to the game by the moment and I have not screenshots. I will show you them tomorrow.

Thanks. Probably many of you will like the next. It is the biggest missing unit in the mod and I can not remember exactly because I did not add this unit at first place. I am speaking about the Jerec SSD Vegeance. A model made by Evillejedi many time ago and rigged by me with several improves in the skin made by Nawrocki.

This powerful unit will be a hero from the Galactic Empire. But perhaps I will add it as a capital ship for the Warlords faction.

I have been playing a bit with the reflection effects from SOASE, I like it a lot.

The Jabba Cruiser is other of the new ships from the Hutts. 

This is other of the missing units in the mod, the Hutt Cruiser, I made the model with a very good skin from Nawrocki many time ago for my other mods but never I added it at SOASE. Now the fleet is complete.

It looks as if I had left far away the problems and now the mod runs without strange crashes. I have made a lot of additional fixes because after the 1.85 there was more small mistakes with icons and text. I do not go to publish a list but I am sure how you will recognize how it looks different.

About the engines by example, they are unfinished and clearly, the last engines will not be released with the next version. It goes to take more time. Mostly now all the units look different but some of them can be more perfect.

For the engines, I used some similar to the engines from Goafan77 Interregnum mod made by ERock72, not exactly a copy because I used a original particle effect edited with different textures. Now most of the engine lights are spheres, there are some of them different but very few.

And what about the future after the next version? probably I will add some new units, all them very special and I will make several cosmetic changes in the mod screens.

I will release the new version soon, I do not know if it will be today or tomorrow.

These are the last news. I have been working in the abilities, starting by heroes. I have added some new and reorganizing others. You can watch at this video some of them.

At first place, I added abilities to the Rebel One. Next I made a Force shot ability for Luke by example. Other force heroes have other abilities. There is a tractor beam and a cloak ability for the Terror SSD by example. Some of them need tweaks but at least, they work. Mostly timings running and anti-matter consume.

Other changes is the hull/shield from small heroes, I have increased these values because if not you will lose them in the first combat.

More news. Again, a new starbase. This time for the Warlords faction. I have used the Imperial starbase from EAW for it with some additions. By example a main gun with the highest weapon upgrade level.

Clearly the starbase changes with each upgrade. You can add more weapons, the trade port and more parts to the starbase.

Probably you will be thinking how the new starbase is worse than the Mini Death Star. Yes, it is true. By this reason if you do not choose to add a trade port to your station and you make all the weapons upgrade, you will get the Mini Death Star. Have fun.

Of course, if you add the trade port with the full weapon upgrades, you will not get the Mini Death Star. I will add a small addition to the description about it.

Weird. On screenshot I see SSD Eclipse  - in the game but not this model.

Only Sovereing in mod see..

Why?

Lately I have been playing the mod with the 1.87 opt. It is the beta from the next patch where things as the LAA are integrated in the game.

As you can see, I am playing one of the largest maps. More of 40 minutes without crashes. Equal than playing the 1.86, in fact the last 1.6 is better than this because it has compiled all files and it loads faster than my in development 1.7.

I will continue the battle later.

Perhaps you are right with the amount of ships. However playing smaller maps......does not happen nothing wrong.

From the words of Blair analizing a minidump file, the AI has problems deploying the starbase. I do not know what AI faction and I can not find a problem with it. From my point of view, it can be easily a lack of resources. But it does not happen at small maps.

About the gauss from the Hutt Cruiser. It is not a mistake. It has one single gun in the front. 

Compare ascendancy mod or other mod where the type of units is really smaller, it has not sense. Ascendancy mod is a 10% from my mod. While other mods replaced only the originals by others, I added a lot more of units. If the amount of MAXSHIPSLOTS is not big, you will not see many of the units.

However, I thought before reduce the ships slots and increase them with a addon. 

Quoting LeonDeGrelle,

reply 566

IMHO you have a very strong increase in the number of ships - MAXSHIPSLOTS

2600 -4200 -5000 This extraordinary lot .

One reason for the quick fall  this mod - 1 or 2 hour. First massive battle and dump crach (
Other mod's (Ascedancy for example) are stable for a long 6-7 hours..

In the original game, I increased the number of ships (mini mod) in the following way.

MAXSHIPSLOTS:

150  - MAXSHIPSLOTS0

200  - 1\2

320 - 3\4\5

370 - 6\7

There was no dump's.

Yes - for several reasons i use win XP SP3 or 2 GB RAM.

 

 

He discovered one more thing -I think it's a mistake.




Ultimative frigate   

30 -50 this ships ( AI builds them in mega mass quantities ) destroy any capitalships Irrespective of their number )

I think you just made a mistake with zero - damage 32 may be must have i think.

I fixed it at my copy mod in home - otherwise it is simply impossible to play against the HUTT.

 

At the end, I added the ships lot change. I prefer it the reduction, it increases the strategic/tactic and reduce the huge fleets from the IA.

Now I am trying balance better the pirates. I do not like the huge fleets from them, they are very powerful, specially with the new settings.

About the bump, reduce the ships slots did not fix it. Probably it increases the computer resources and the stability but there was some other errors. Thanks to Blair, I found/fix them. Other thing which I am making now, it is test everything, I want be sure about the stability playing.

I have added the last version, it has some additions as a new starbase constructor or two new starbases type. You can find it in my site https://firefoxccmods.com

Changes Log SOASE Rebellion Alliance 1.7:

-Several fixes. Avoiding crashes. Thanks to Blair Fraser from IronClad helping finding the problems.
-Capital ships and ships slots values changed. Thanks to one idea from LeonDeGrelle, I reduced it. Now win is easier, specially playing agains AI with a higher difficult level and it avoids these huge enemy fleets agains you.
-The pirates, I have added more type of ships for the pirate raids and I have reduced the amount of them. At least now, you have a chance against them.
-Added the Container Transport as the Starbase builder from the Rebel Alliance, Black Sun, Free Side and Hutts factions.
-Added the Imperial Star Base for the Warlords faction.
-Added the Black Sun Star Base for the Black Sun faction.
-Improved the Rebel Starbase.

Well, soon I will release the new version, it runs, no problems. It was not too difficult update it.

Some news here. I will be working in a update soon. At least a improve from files for the last game version and perhaps some new unit.
