Capital ship level control in Sins Modding Stardock Forums

IIRC there used to be a HasLevels line in the capship files. I seem to remember you being able to control the points per level and such. I'm not seeing this in current (1.4 or whatever) gameinfo files. What's the deal? I'd like to lock the number of ability upgrade points to a certain #.

Reply to Comprehensive list of Entrenchment modding changes in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'll just consider it for our second release then. Too far into feature lock to do all of that + new Entrenchment stuff. What's the current situation on the # of capital ships? Is it still locked to 5? IIRC there was a change either in base or Entrenchment that upped it to 6.

[quote who="Swiss Knight" reply="11" id="2077684"] Also what the hell is this? "We can live without Flak for capital ships, but do we really want to? Also on very principle we shouldn't. We owe it to the Science Fiction Genre.

[quote who="cloud04" reply="3" id="2077350"]Like I said, it would be a way to do it, it would require lots of testing, and it would only be the weakest weapons on a Cap ship. If you look at that example I pulled from the Kol, it fires roughly every 5 secs (4.5 plus i think it takes time for targeting / other cooldowns, not sure). A fighter has what around 100 hp, so even in its current state it could kill a fighter from a squad every 10 sec. Which isnt that much of a game ch

[quote who="cloud04" reply="23" id="2077054"] Every weapon has this line, so one could in a mod enable this to true for all ships to test it. My whole point about this wasn't to actually have IC do this style of editing weapon damaged, I said it is a possibility / one way of doing it (this is from multiple posts on the subject). [/quote] That would heavily reduce DPS for all weapons involved. The only way for this not to impact current balance is a fourth s

If you have nothing to say in response but empty rhetoric about how everyone's out to get you, then perhaps you shouldn't be the one trying to draw attention to yourself. e: or don't, I guess, but it makes you sound like you're 12 trying to get the neighborhood kids all riled up e2: and to clarify I don't actually care that m

Reply to Importing Models From Another Game in Sins Modding Sins Forums

You are correct on all points. Porting models over from other games is not a very good idea in general. Models should be ideally be created and skinned for the game you're modding. Even porting some of our work from EaW required a ton of changes and they don't look anything like they did back then.

[quote who="wnmnkh" reply="1" id="2075852"] Yeah, that's wonderful idea. Capitals having flaks as well is wonderful idea as well. See, even in modern warfare most ships have strong anti-air guns and missiles. Do you know how many AA missiles carriers and cruisers carry? In older battles ALL ships were armed with flaks. Again, this really does not prove that we don't need flaks on capitals.[/quote] Cool, let's remove all lasers, the auto

[quote who="CreditSuisse" reply="16" id="2075260"] troll troll troll shred a troll troll trolling trolls!!![/quote] Helpful tip for arguing in the future: when you demonize other people by calling their arguments against your idea "trolling" and act as if everything is a personal attack, you're the only one that looks bad. If you can't counter someone's points except by whining about how they're all out to get you, it's not them that suffers.
