For this sort of mod where there are definite threats early on, I'd suggest changing the default home template along these lines so players and NPC's can't rush you. All players will have a sizeable fleet, strong home defenses and offenses. This is a modified "HomeMixedFleetStart" template used in 7DS: (Psi and Phase omitted to keep the post short) <col

OMFG! This rocks. I have the Freelancer Universe map for 7DS all mapped out and ... and... I cannot imagine the delightful chaos of all the independent TEC, Advent, Vasari, and Empire militias that do colonize the world they spawn at setting their sights on the players. -I can imagine the hell the heavy militias with their worlds fortified with structures and capital supported fleets roaming the universe. Excellent work. Please give Danman the OK to inc

Maybe in "SINS 2: Fixes of a Solar Empire" [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

you'll like the GSDef that's gonna come with 7DS 2.0. Many templates, much fun to be had. There will be a "Freelancer" map for 7DS that's just huge and heavily populated by Advent, Psi, and Empire militias as well as some very nasty -heavily- colonized worlds to plow through while creating your empire. Props to you Animage64 for original inspiration that culminated in a GSDef that it 4x as large as the original -even the Solar Sins 2.0 for GSDef. Btw, the 7DS 2.0 GSD

This will be a 1000+ player game. Modding Community vs Star/Clad (tried Co-Op mode, but it broke). On Terra there lies a truly baffling artifact, "Hardcode", in the hands of Star/Clad. This hateful artifact must be reclaimed by the community and it's strangle hold on the universe minimized lest the universe itself collapse in on itself. Star/Clad, Please publish details about how this hateful

Please deal with this Star/Clad. Even large fleets turn tail instead of putting up even minimal defense, they'll run all the way back to their homeworld and then put up a pitiful fight.

Talk with Danman, I can't wait for Atlantian vs Jove, TCA v Caldari, Unity v Gallente. Light, Medium, Heavy Drones can be spawned by the ship as an ability so they don't have to be built and they will have a set combat time before popping. If spawned however, they'll be just like any other ship and capable of phase jumping. With 1.12, aren't there a variety of fighters (4 types) that'll cover drones? see prior posts about ships. GL

7DS will be ready when it's ready. It's like a finely cooked meal that if rushed is ruined and everyone ends up crapping themselves for the next week and eating horrible stuff like McD's and TacoBell before ever touching your cooking again. That said, enjoy the new vanilla pudding -upgrading to "Parfait" is optional with additional layers (Entrenchment) provided a'la carte by Star/Clad " SOON <str

What until 7DS comes out, yup only 1.05 compatible but worth it. I have heavily modified the GSDef with 4 racial militias, heavy patrols (don't actually roam :( ), and heavily colonized worlds of populated by many different races.

Now if there were only a way to set at least stars on the Z-Axis so the Main 64 planet board is at 0, then 1 at -400 and 2 at +400 for constant separation. I'll email Blair Fraser about it. Read it in notepad, it has a scenario template for the home planet at the end so you can at least play the map in SINS 1.1 -hopefully. Just change the description to "CHESS -SINS 1.1 Version"

Might try having the "Chess" set as a template or scenario template so it's defined. Then eliminate the frigate and capitalship factories from the PlayerTech/Psi/Phase.entity files so building additional ships is impossible? See if this map is the sort of thing you are imagining. I might be completely off; mind reading subscription ran out 12/31/08. Open this up in Galaxy Forge 1.1 -right click, save as <a title="CHESS MAP for SINS 1.1" href="http://home.comcas

Blair, any luck getting GalaxyForge 1.1 to show templates in the GSDef file yet?

I'm just throwing out ideas. If you deploy a beacon, it might not work properly and allow your dreads, carriers, titans, and mom to jump to it. Besides, you want the ships arriving/spawning on top of the cyno ship, not entering at the edge of the gravity well. Spawning prevents them from having to be mass produced in cruiser slots, cause if capitals you can only build so much. Also, I see nothing wrong with that "Rapier/Cyno" ship being tier 6, 7, or 8 military researc

I really want about 50 races supported in the "Capitalship Name" area as only 3 are supported. To see a BORG capitalship with the same name/designation as TEC/PSI/PHASE capitalships just puts me off.

Thoumsin... did you watch the new intro movie? Don't leak it, I'm remaking it. http://www.sri-corp.com/

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="13" id="1993645"]Well, don't buy Entrenchment. Not worth it. ManSh00ter and DANMAN will have stuff for you (that is FREE, since modders can't be paid for modding, its a pity with 7DS especially) that will make Entrenchment look like a pile of thrice-digested pig slops. Really. The only term for Entrenchment when compared to 7DS will be "shizno". [/quote] And this'll convince Star/Clad to act favorably toward 7DS which hopes

Why does SINS load everything, every mesh, texture, etc... instead of loading what is needed and unloading what isn't needed on a game by game basis? This particular issue pertains mostly to mods with additional races with unique meshes, textures, sounds, etc...

If you really want to replicate "Cyno"/Hot-dropping a dread fleet... Take that rapier's ability to spawn a titan and instead modify it to spawn 10 dreadnaught that are basically like the ability that spawns a missile platform. The immobility replicates SIEGE MODE perfectly -now just make them immune to everything except weapon damage. This prevents the dreads from moving to another planet, they're sole purpose is to take down starbases and super-structures. Set the Dreads (w
