This the best discussion on any forum, ever

IGN has an article about the (probable) future Sins expansion pack and one of the main things they want to include is a campaign, so it's pretty likely actually, though also pretty far down the line. I can't wait :)

This thing is so serious... And awesome...can't forget awesome. This might have been asked already, so my apologies, but is this compatible with Sins 1.04? Also, I imagine that all these changes will make the game at least slightly more demanding graphically, is that right? Amazing work, I really appreciate the time and effort it took to put this beast together. I'm waiting on my bran spankin new MSI 8800GT, can't wait to see how this baby runs on that. Keep it up! :)

Thanks again Uzii, can't wait for 1.3 :)

I don't know if someone's said this already, but it seems Sins 1.04 will be out pretty soon. It would totally suck Uzii, if you did all this work for your Sins Plus 1.3 and then you have to re-do it for the newest version of the game. I mean, it's not like you could have missed this, I was just wondering what you're planning to do.

lol i haven't even gotten a chance to play a full game with this mod yet, looks like I should probably just wait for 1.3 :) Uzii works fast.

You wouldn't think someone only moderately interested in video games would post in the forum of a game this intensive.....

I've tried that as well gamerking345, I don't think it can work because Uzii's mod (version 1.2b anyway) is for Sins version 1.03, and Silveressa's is for Sins 1.02, so the files don't merge correctly. You'd either have to somehow integrate it manually, or wait for silveressa to update her mod.

Uzii, I noticed that your mod allows us to research from each category (military, civilian, fleet logistics, ect) separately, or rather, concurrently. What made you decide you implement that? Or is that something you didn't even do and it's a patch 1.03 thing?

Whoops! sorry for the DP

Well I actually combined your mod with Uzi's Sins Plus recently (file merging and such). I haven't tested it yet though (that real life stuff you're talking about is a pain, isn't it?), but I only transfered like the point defense files, and the changes you made to the fighters, defenses, and research (seeing as the patch gives you pirate options and stuff). Will this still crash the game?

Okay, where I got confused was that I DLed a text comparer that only lets you look at the files and can't merge them. Then I found one that merges for you. Thanks for the help Uzi, hopefully I don't f this up lol

I was looking to do this as well, and I understand everything up to the part where you say that one should "merge" the files that have been changed in both mods. For example, you have made changes to the "Player" Psi, Tec, and Phase files, and so has Silveressa. So how do we get her changes on your files without losing changes you might have made that are in a different part of the file? Is there a specific type of text-reader that can do this? I have EditPad Pro. Anyway, sorry if I'm asking to

Yeah, I was gonna ask, will this work properly with v1.03, or do you have to retweak this? Or can I just install the new mod data files, and then reinstall this mod over those?

Chicks rule.

oh, okay, so those changes are pending in the version you've yet to upload, thanks for telling me/us. I'll be checking here every couple of hours for it, can't wait to try it out :)

I gotta tell you, I love this mod, it has everything I was looking for. Literally, every single change is perfect, especially with your updates (cruisers having 4 fighter squads was definitely too much lol 2 is perfect). And you adding add-ons for defenses to have anti-fighter turrets is just genius.

By imperial navy do you mean The Star Wars Galactic Empire Navy? If so then yes...yes it does. Advent here, pretty much for all the reasons eisenhorn listed (fighter focused, beam weapons, culture infection, voices, ship design ect). Took me a while to realize that the advent is all chicks. Like really, ALL chicks, which I think is awesome.

World in Conflict was a good game, but most certainly not a 9.5. This game is much closer to that. And I'm with ShadowHal, I don't really trust gamespot much anymore, they've put down some really biased and crappy reviews lately. IGN isn't a whole lot better, but I stick with them now, though I find some of the best, most professional and un-biased reviews at sites like EuroGamer, 1UP, Action Trip, and GameDaily. But really, trust your own impression of the game. I'd give this a solid 9.3

Well, I for one am not too bothered by it. Sure it would make the combat look even more epic than it already does but the fact of the matter is, I move groups of my ships around manually all the time. Against the AI, it's actually a really good way to draw enemies to your cap ships without having to wait for them to move up. I would take say 8 Iconus Guardians and move them far forward to soak up damage and use their repulsion ability, but before I set one off, I would move two separate groups o

Will this and future patches affect any mods I have? In other words, patch 1.03 might increase the unit cap. If I'm running a mod, how will it affect it? Can I just uninstall and reinstall the mod, or do I have to change the mod files to match the patch?

Ohh, it's under local, no wonder I couldn't find it. And btw, does anyone here know of/remember a game called Conquest: Frontier Wars. Cause this joint reminds me WAY more of that game than GalCiv or Homeworld or anything like that. Believe me it's a good thing, I was extremely obsessed with that game, partially cause there was nothing else quite like it. This game is basically a deeper, sexier looking version of that game, so I'm having a ball right now. Thank you Stardock!!! :)

Hey I'm new here, this game rocks extremely hard, but I did notice that Defense plats get pwned a tad too easily. This is an awesome simple mod, just the kind of thing I was looking for...but I guess I'm a little slow. How do you install this thing? lol
