Looking at the maps added back in the day. Im gonna have to remake most of them, but Im not gonna redo them all anytime soon unless there enough people who like them. So, if any of the new maps that have been added, what are favorites? B-t-dubs, AI Horde map is gone. It never quite worked as planned....I'll think of some other way to screw you against the AI.

Not sure if it will help though since most lag Ive seen is during combat, when you got all those bad boys flying about anyhow. EDIT: Changing how mines operate would effect balance, but instead of having them disappear after X amount of

[quote who="greyseer" reply="2" id="3187721"]Yeah, I know that the Advent has Homing Mine Sqaudrons attached to their Carriers, but advent carriers cannot lay independent mines in a non-colonisible zone like a Worm-hole or Asteroids-belt like the Vasari can, the Vasari actually have a specialised mine layer unit - the Ruiner.[/quote] There nothing in the game that says they cant.

Also I suppose you should add UE_Carbon, he's probably feeling lonely with all the other DS people on the list. I hear he's actually doing a little bit of modding again. [/quote] Har Har Har. Carbon needs no list. Carbon will mod silently and in ninja mode. While talking in 3rd person. [e digicons]:ninja:[/e]
Distant Star specific discussion aside. (take it to its proper place por favor) This is bump. Just a bump.
Thanks for giving the TL a bit of an offensive mode with faster SB deployment. Still think though they are gonna behind in the greater scheme of things though. TR are so much better in everyway with all the weapons upgrades they get, taxless income (not 100% sure on that yet though) while bombing. And now the crazy zerg mentality your working on. TL are gonna have a heck of time surviving till get get any of their toys.

Like visible large cannons on the planets surface or sth. like that? I only have rebellion so I have to wait until the reb version comes out before I can test it myself. there is a satellite in orbit coordinating fire, its really just the planetary shield model, and you se

My suggestion is to just make it, if nothing for yourself. If others use it. great. If not, then no harm no foul. Im sure someone somewhere might use it though. Most of use active on the fourms use Notepad++ or Eclipse. But dont let that stop you from making your own tools. :)

What with the hate on the price? Its a collector's edition. Its gonna be pricey! Your paying for those 'cheap' toys, items, and other swag. Is any collector's edition cost effective for a consumer? no not at all. But you are paying to be an owner of a limited piece of one of your favorite games. If its too expensive for you, then its too expensive. No need to go all emo rage on this kind of stuff. Ive

Would intergrating Steam workshop be that time consuming? From my perspective it seems all Workshop does is download and keep updated your mod folder. Having it would help!
