This is the first SoaSE mod I've installed. Excellent step by step and more importantly fantastic mod! I can finally play in cinematic mode and see what my ships are attacking and who is taking damage without UI assistance. The damage types are more obvious from a distance and the eye-candy is just icing. Most importantly, I haven't noticed any performance decrease! I do have a nice comp, but have all my setting on highest at 1920 and still get butter in huge battles with ab

Reply to Strategy, yes, but what type? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

There are most definitely combat tactics. FYI I loved CoH, didn't dig SupCom as much as I hoped (huge Total Annihilation fan).

[quote]2. what standard formats can be imported into the game without having to go through various converters?[/quote] I'm very interested in this. If I can model/texture/add joints(hardpoints) in Maya it would speed up my workflow to lightspeed. Are you aware of any file formats that transfer mesh/texture/joint info to XSI from Maya (.fbx, etc.)? Thanks in advance for the upcoming tutorials.

I got a white box for victory screen (vista32) until I applied the KB940105 patch. This cleared up some occasional crashes on large maps. I fully agree that there needs to be an interesting finale to an epic 6+ hour battle. Understandably they have a small team and I'm happy to see them focus their resources on game-play rather than beauty shots. What are some other options for victory scenes? We mentioned cut-scenes. Even some 2.5D cinematic shots like the intro wh
