Reply to Can One Ship Create Another?? Or is This Out of the Question? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="2" id="1944204"]Actually, a guy named -Blackseraph- did this. What he did is he gave certain ships abilities that spawned certain frigates and cruisers. It was really cool actually, and if he updates 1.1 it gets even better since abilities can cost you credits/metal/crystal. What it was was a way to circumvent the 9 slot limit on frigates and cruisers, and it worked great. I think he gave the ability to spawn the spawners to the construc

[quote who="Blair Fraser" reply="3" id="1944230"]It's possible. That's how we ake things like siege platforms and missile platforms (they are just frigates with no engines). And like SpardaSon said, you can do some other cool stuff with them as well.

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="1" id="1944186"]Doubtfull.. AFAIK the only ships that can be created from other ships are the fighters from the carriers. Much of sins is hardcoded, and i believe this was attemted before with failure. [/quote] Ahhh... Thank you Major Stress, it is interesting to know. I suppose a lot hardcoded means better performance or less problems? I guess if i was a programmer i would think the same way. Haha, but as a minor capable modder, who has only just

Can One Ship Create Another?? Or is This Out of the Question? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi, I am trying to see if i can find a way for one ship to create another. I have tried copying the frigatefactory and CapitalshipFactory entities to ships abilities and squad areas in an attempt to try it, but it just crashes. Is this not possible now? I thought if i could make a planet, or asteroid portable, then that might work, but nothing in the planet files looks even remotely like a moveable ship.

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire v1.1 Lands Nov. 18th in Sins News Sins Forums

Quick question if i might, things have been rather tight financially recently, and so my plans to get the pre-order haven't happened yet. I wanted to ask if the beta is accessable to the "public", if i will have a chance to try it, and still order the expansion for when it is released. Or will i not have access until i pre-order? If that is the case then i will just have to wait a few weeks, not my best hopes, but i can understand if it is setup that way. I just havent been clear abou

Reply to Change ships hitpoints in Sins Modding Sins Forums

It would be nice to have something in the panel that would let us adjust hull, shield and weapon strength in stages up or down, but right now, modders are adjusting those values inside the ship files. So there is a way to do it, but not as easily as a button on a panel. If you have updated 1.05 with the first update that was issued in Febuary i believe, it will create a mod panel in the options area. From there, if you download the forge tools found on this site at the download page i believe

I was a little concerned about the 16 GB SSD, but after cleaning out some of the pre-installed bloat, I have most of my can't-live-without programs installed (including WB and ODock) with a lot of space remaining...plus I have a 16 GB SDHC which I leave in the SD slot for additional storage. Bootup is relatively quick, and launching apps as smooth as my desktop. <b

Reply to Light Frigates, what roles do they fill? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I am only a newbie, but i often find, start, mid-game and end-game, at least for the way i play, that having 10 or so diciples is a good way to deny anti-matter to the opponents, and to keep my own fleet well charged. Of course my perceptions could be wrong. Anyway, having them at any stage for me, seems to help. I play a lot with mods loaded, so perhaps what i am describing is an effect of the mod, and not the diciple. You could try it and see if it makes any significant difference. If
