I had a similar battle at someones home world. The battle for his home world lasted for more then an hour lol. We were both spamming reinforcements. I started to make tons of shipyards to the point were I could spend all of my income on nothing but ships. Since I had the slightly better econ I finally eventually overwhelmed him.
When I click enable mod for v1.2 I get a minidump and sins crashes. Do I need to install version 1.1 first, before installing 1.2?
Thank you guys for all your hard work.
Well since you like the burnt planet, I have an idea for it. Make the forest look like it's still on fire. I think that would look pretty cool and unique. Can you make animated textures? Here's one more before I log off too. Steam/cloudy planet. Ice planet that used to orbit far from the sun. It's now very close to the sun. Entire planet is shrouded in clouds.
My ideas could be used just as texture ideas too. Heres some more- Hidden planet. Halo emitters hide a lovely paradise planet. They project the image of a random undesirable place, like a plasma storm. You can only see it if you happen to find the Halo emitter artifact. Shielded Planet. This planet has a gigantic shield around the whole planet. Local isolationists built it to keep out invaders. It's powered by huge solar panels that can be seen on the surface. The plan

Bonus is 50% growth and 50% population cap. Deep Canyon planets. Bonus is -75% damage from bombs and 100% more mines. Windy Ocean Desert planets. Planets only have oceans, beaches and deserts. Great for surfing and hanging out at the beach. Bonus is tourism tax. Shattered planets.
I start by building frigates right away and going on a rampage conquering everything around me as quickly as possible. I use the colonizing capital ship. I love that stun skill it has, makes killing enemy capital ships easy. If a nice enemy planet is near me I launch a full scale attack and research military technologies. If there are no nice enemy planets I'll get some civic technologies going. From there on out it really depends on the circumstances.
I think the current system is fine. Maybe just increase the build time on capital ships. If you continue to find yourself with many capital ships and few frigates and cruisers then maybe fleet supply from planets should be increased. A have an idea for a new building called supply depot that would be built from tactical points and provide more fleet points. This way you can convert your tactical points from your rear planets that don't need defense. This should give an ample s
