I abstain I think the devs should just make the sound files and data more accessible so users can mod it out on their own.

Reply to Whats sorely lacking in this fantastic game?: SOUND in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

programmers are generally visual artists. So developing sound and music is actually often a difficult process for game design teams.

Reply to Possible Entrenchment exploit in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

lol, it's not a replacement for a fleet, it is an augmentation. Right now there is not enough strategic defense in the game. The game boils quickly down to amassing a single large fleet and going on a rampage. I kind of got bored of that during the first command and conquer with mass tank rush battles. Honestly I think fleet size caps should be reduced drastically, too many ships turns a strategy game into a game of attrition and zerg rushes.

Reply to Cloaked Ships - Possible? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

well, first we have to understand the cloaking mechanic. Is it supposed to be an all around invisibility spell or something that gives an added benefit in combat? If what you want is actual invisibility to both players and to the ships in the game it is very tough to pull off. However if you just want to cloak it from the ships in the game and not necessarily from the players then it is much easier. This way you can create an ability that uses the

I've designed some good maps that eliminate early game frigate spam. Make a huge 7 star map with one unihabited system that controls all the resources and plug it full of pirate bases so nobody can get a secure grip on it. That way you'll have enough time to think of a good and fun strategy that doesn't involve zergling horde tactics. It also forces people to build some civilian research because you need it to let your ships jump out of your system into enemy space. (long range jumps)

yeah it sux that nobody seems to be doing werk, but I managed to get access to a bunch of new 3d models/meshes, so that should speed us up quite a bit. I also got the full version of xsi7 and 3dstudiomax so converting them from format to format shouldn't b toooo tough. ***keeps fingers crossed***

Reply to Ideas for A Complete Conversion Mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

if u code the ai yourself, u won't have 2 worry to much, just think about every ability and the optimal trigger scenario and code it in.

Reply to Need input on how to make ships with targetable sections. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

but it should work whether or not it is a passive ability, because it is a triggered on activation code and not a triggered upon striking target code.

Reply to Need input on how to make ships with targetable sections. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

lol, I was just sayong that because it was the only ability that popped into my head when I was typing. I am gonna attach that trigger to all the abilities on every ship I can. You're right though, even in HW2 the caps didn't move that much.
