Fair enough, was worth a shot. You've got me really interested now now :P

Currently anywhere, I'm going to try to make it spawn on low HP and slowly build up so you can't surprise attack people with it. I'll look into restricting where it can be built though, fairly sure it can only be built when there are no enemies around though.

Binary star systems, the most common star system and none in SOASE. Also satellites (namely moons) would be awesome.

Done all the modding, I simply need some models now (currently the cruiser making the station is bigger than the station itself). Going to keep tweaking the stats tonight though, will try and get it so the cruiser takes a realistic amount of time to produce the station and give the station some abilities (such as repairing ships and producing turrets).

Tried it ingame, just got some mini-dumps, will keep working on it tomorrow, it's getting late here. If there are any slightly more experienced modders that wouldn't mind taking a look then I'd appreciate the help.

I've gotten to the stage where I have a cruiser which can spawn the station, with appropriate stats on the station. I'm trying to see if I can limit deployment to uncolonisables but I'm not sure how feasible that is. Going to make it so the charge rate for antimatter on the station is low but have it be able to spawn turrets. Any other reasonable ideas?

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I've read a lot of complaints about the gameplay speed being far too slow in sins. Purely by accident I found this in the Gameplay.constant files: [quote] gameSpeedData-Slow incomeGameSpeedScalar 0.0 shipBuildRateGameSpeedScalar 0.0 moduleBuildRateGameSpeedScalar 0.0 shipLinearMaxSpeedGameSpeedScalar 0.0 shipLinearAccelerationGameSpeedScalar 0.0 shipLinearDecelerationGameSpeedScal

You can only realistically resize the mesh by creating a new model. The way meshes are stored is by storing each point and stating all the triangles that join said points used to create the model.

Surely the game will not accept a shield that intercepts a model? Try a planetary shield, such as Shield_planetsmall.mesh . Just an idea.

There is a very suspicious looking tool called ConvertXSI.exe . From what I garner you open the xsi file with that and it produces the txt file.

Basically I was quite unimpressed with the lack of single-player storyline and was wondering if any-one would be interested in a long-term RP-match, basically taking the small amount of lore and playing it out to see who wins. I'm still contemplating the specifics but for sure you'd have 4 teams (Advent, Vasari, TEC and The Unknown) and as I see it at the moment, 5 star-systems (very much up to debate). Starting with 4 actual players with and few defensive-easy ai and replacing ai with ot
