Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.
[quote who="harpo99999" reply="24" id="2232079"]quicktodraw, if the map works for 0.03c then it will work in entrenchment as both 1.15-1.16 & entrenchment use the exact same map format [/quote] I have tried to play it in entrenchment (by placing it in both the glaxay folders for the vanilla copy and entrenchment), but I have yet to get it to work myself (along with several other maps I have downloaded from this site). If I am doing something wrong Harpo, by
That sounds all like good news to hear Shimmer, plus removing all the other emphasis than on that stuff will increase production and make the date of release sooner (which I am quite sure all the loyal fans around here would be totally jazzed to hear). I am also glad that you are giving a use to the antimatter that all the ships will be carrying. It has always seemed odd to me to have that stuff and not see it getting use. I am also glad to see differnt planet defenders (s

Oh, one queston, will you be incorporating any of the Celestial Bodies or Distant Stars planets into this? Being able to invade Earth with a fleet of Klingon ships would be TOO funny![/quote] In that version, there is only a quick glimpse of the Borg (hint: try invading the pirate base and you'll see what I mean).

[quote who="LokiGodOfMischeif" reply="4" id="2227974"]the shields are like that currently as no shield mesh has been made yet the fighters and bombers have not been disabled / made yet -- the reason for why they spawned where there could be due to no fighter bay entity on the ship [/quote] I was thinking the same thing Loki, but I thought that I would just report it in case no one knew about these yet. Thanks for the quick turn around on the mesh
Ok, I'll look for it, sorry to be a hassal, I just wasn't seeing it for some reason. Well I'm not a klingon loving tester, but Hooray! Starbases ROCK! Just tested the Starbase, and I must say that it certainly is impressive! I love the Klingon Logo's on the top (don't know if you want the skins to keep them, but they still look cool anyways), but I have found a few glitches, most of which you probably already know about. First, you know that
[quote who="darkshimmer" reply="21" id="2224907"]Testers, please check on the Emperor and its new ability, its not complete, just needs tweaking. Restrictions removed for play testing. [/quote] Beautiful pics BTW Darkshimmer, and as for the Emperor, I don't know if it's just me, but the new ability (Cleansing Brilliance?) doesn't seem to be functioning right to me. I can see them start to use it, it uses up antimatter, but there are no effects to go with the

[quote who="Tyras_385" reply="6" id="2220682"]Oh and also, just an idea for the future maybe, is using the Sabre Class Instead of the Curry or something like that. It certainly fits the SoA time period and it looks really cool. Just an idea for a far future update maybe. [/quote] This is not only meant to you Tyras, but to the entire mod community and team.

[quote who="Tyras_385" reply="14" id="2217754"] Mooster seems to be sounding like the Mod Db people lol!![/quote] Let's not be starting that again please!!
I am glad to see that you guys got the Excelsior icon to work, and it's kinda cool to see it work, but I can understand what Dragoon meant by it having the planet bombardment as too powerful. Also, great job on the turrets (though you have all the Klingon turret research mispelled as turrent), but I noticed that the skinning on the Federation turret is really shiny. Is it supposed to be that way, or are you still perfecting the texturing? Other than that, everything seem

[quote who="Dragoon4ever" reply="20" id="2208323"] After you get the upgrade your excellsiors will have an ability to allow you to upgrade them to lakotas. First slot where an ability would show up is where it's at. It shows nothing there but click it anyway and boom, new ship.[/quote] Thanks a lot Dragoon and SOA2 Team, I remember previous post referring to this, but I didn't quite understand what you guys were talking about. Thanks for taking the time
[quote who="sc456a" reply="13" id="2207918"] Oh, and the Cube is insanely difficult to defeat - probably unbeatable without a maxed out fleet.[/quote] Actually, I think that it's impossible to beat (I used a full fleet with all Capitals maxed out and ony the largest of Cruiser class vessels, and I still couldn't get it past the 7/8 hit point mark), since I never did defeat it, but I think they designed it that way on purpose.

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="19" id="2199717"]Testers, and devs i have a treat for ya. I uploaded on sync an unreleased dev copy of Trekmods original SoA mod for Homeworld. Being that Homeorld is on its 10th anniversary i think it is fitting that the next release of SoA 2 should include SoA 0.96 to celebrate. Test it, and see where the influence of SoA 2 came from. Thats an order Im on the road as of today for 3 weeks. So any questions ask shimmer.[/quote]

They actually had something like an LCARS setup, and beyond that, they even had the computer voice from Voyager in it. Paradox, I'd say so.

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="2" id="2196082"] Beta testers: Play team games with an AI ally. Watch the AI to see what it builds, and when it builds it.

Great job on fixing that movement issue Dark Shimmer, I had noticed they weren't stopping anymore, but I thought that my mind was playing tricks on me. Now all we have to do is stop the ships from chasing eachother out of grav wells and everything will be solved (movement wise). I also have a suggestion for that torpedoe ability for the Miranda, instead of calling it "photon torpedoes" (since photon torpedoe is one of the researches you conduct), why not call it "
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="14" id="2189249"]hull research bug was fixed. what i do like so far... The movement. Nicely done. However, i feel the ships zip around a little too fast. I know it was scaled so that big ships move like pigs, but the fast ships move a little too fast IMO. What i dont like... The colored shields. makes all of the ships look cartoony.

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="10" id="2188622"] 1 bug i found is you cant click on the 1st tier hull research for the feds. It just wont register. You cant research tier 4 shields until you get at least 1 point in hull re-enforcement.

OK than, I just played the Federation for the first time today, and I have a few comments to make/questions to ask, Firstly, as a bug I found after researching the repair platform, I was neither able to build it, nor wwere any of my shipyards able to repair. This is pretty major, because it will seriously change the balance of the game if the federation can't repair their ships (but I'm guessing that this is just a bug). Upgraded shield emit
