Need a few ideas (Planet Bonuses) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Just about to start playing around with the modding aspect of the game, and was going to start by adding some more planetary bonuses. Got an idea for a bonus you'd like to see? Post it here. Also, I (like a few people) were disappointed with the lack of bonuses received from exploration. I don't think you can adjust the percentage of getting a bonus, I believe that can be altered when making a map (correct me if I'm wrong). However, I've come across a value that should force a bonus on

Reply to Pirates a little indiscriminate in thier targeting in Strategy Sins Forums

Or, if its that much of a problem and the planet is more trouble than its worth, abandon it and leave it for another Empire to take, let the Pirate buffer fall into his territory. Problem for you solved, and a problem gained for the AI.

Give him a break... and answer his question, or move on. I was also under the impression that more tools were on the way to simplify this process and allow a lot more 'easy' modding to be done.

In fact, I was hoping for some more evil ways to wipe a planet clean, biological and chemical weapons anyone? Research the vaccine and then the virus and fill the atmosphere with it. Land your troops/civi's on the Planet and set up shop. Space Empires V had a similar thing, using 'Plagues'. Level 1-5 I believe, and same with the vaccine. Especially goo

Reply to It a question of Pirate Economy... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]My friend had a 30k bounty on him in a game against AI, they weren't that big a problem to deal with. [/quote] After hours on a map with 6 or so systems, and 2 of the 3 AI vanquished, a bidding war broke out escalating to just under 500K. I didn't notice a huge amount of difference in the raiding parties, and having destroyed 1 of the 2 pirates bases in the 'Pirate System', I descended upon the remaining base expecting the usual defences. Much to my surprise the Pirat

Reply to Trade Center Strategy in Strategy Sins Forums

Its good to spam them on the planets that have a Bonus % for Trade Income too. I think Pure Ice Glaciers are the best I've seen, 30%. But any bonus is good, especially when its a Desert planet, thats a huge amount of trade :D

Reply to Star Wars Mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Can't believe you've got working models and the games isn't released yet. Amazing work, and I'll probably sign up to help (my skills are limited, but I always seem to learn as I go when I've modded other games for myself). Although it will probably be a week or two until I sign up, as I'll need a good play on the game, and get familiar with the files. Keep up the good work, Warlords was the best mod I've seen/played so far for any game, the sheer number of ships in it was phenomenal.

Reply to download time in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I feel bad for all you peeps with a slow speed. I didn't realise so many had Dial Up still. I think we've got 8 meg BB, and on a good day can get 800kb/s, so only 20 minutes for me ;) Like other people have said, it might be worth upgrading to the Digital Download AND Box now. I see you live in the US, so delivery time shouldn't be too bad, and the extra shipping cost won't be as much as if you were in Europe or anywhere else in the world. Edit: Lol, just realised that Eet was

Right... err... I don't know how to put this... 28 / 10 = 2.8 so... 10hrs X 10 = 100 hours 100hrs = About 4 days 2 hours or something. Hope you ordered the Box as well, as it might arrive before you get the download. Godspeed son, your going to need it.

[quote] im using a 28.8 kbps dial up connection, about how long will the download take? [/quote] Seriously? Err.. quite a while. Might be a good idea to get a torrent of it, in case the internet d/c's or crashes. Unless Stardock Central supports a stop and start download function. Edit: If you keep up a rate of 28kb/s, then about 10 hours, give or take.
