Reply to Need some Advent players expertise in shield mitigation. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The Shield mitigation cap for most ships (of all races) is 57% without upgrades, so the advent didn't even have any of their mitigation bonuses researched. If one of your ships starts taking alot of fire, it will also go to 57%. Advent with all shield and culture researches can cap at 67%, and they are the only ones that get a mitigation bonus. As to why the advent owned you so badly, it was probably do to their cap ship abilities or their fleet composition was better poised to destroy yours.

^I believe its a problem with the sins engine actually. When extremely zoomed in to ships, the game adds light effects depending on the sky box, its position to the star etc. This is hard to do with mod ships, but if you change your camera angle you will see it to a degree. I assume this is why they look very dack when fully zoomed in...

[quote who="MegaHammerz" reply="10" id="2128065"]There must be something im missing here. When I go to your download there is no version 1.3 There is a "full" version 1.2 then a patch upgrading from version 1.2/1.3 to 1.4 When I install the 1.2 it shows in-game as 1.11 ? and if I overwrite the folder with the 1.4 patch I auto-minidump before ever going into the game 100% of the time.

I started a new game today to test 1.13, and I've confirmed that the repair bay issue and the turrent problem. Repair bay seems to have the same problem as the Novalith (I haven't reconfirmed this, but it wasn't in the change log, so I assume it is still non-functional) where you could research the tech yet still have it say you need one point in the required research. Sense it makes little sense to have both the repair bay and the repair ability require the same tech, just removing the requi

Actually Vunda, Quick start does give you the upgraded homeworld. Its just you don't get the extractors and the factories, so I'm guessing their is no group for the Empire in the GalaxySenarioDef file yet. Also, first 1.2 glitch; I liked that you no longer need superior repair bots for Enforcers, but for some reason the Imperial repair bay structure now does nothing (I'm assuming this is related). No repair ability at all. Also, doubled checked that the researchable fri

Hi Goa, Some replies to your feedback 1) It's only a balancing of the Empire with the existing races. In some cases it will reduce fleet sizes by giving one ship the effective stats (and cost) of 2 or 3. For example, a Corellion Corvette is 3 times the effectiveness/cost as a conventional light frigate. Imperial and Imperator-class star des

[quote who="Emperor_Seth" reply="22" id="2120788"] Quoting GeneralEtrius, reply 20No one knows where this came from, but my guess is that it's coming from Eastern Europe, where a lot of viruses come from. The Storm worm is believe to have come from Russia. If it comes from Eastern Europe than that means the people responsible for Conficker are possibly Neo-Soviet Terrorist. So if Conficker C will make infected computers under the control of the people controlling it, than that

I was meaning to ask Jason, what are you responsible for in this mod? I know the other star wars mod does most of the graphics, but do you do anything but balancing the factions? As for balancing issues, some suggestions. 1. Why does the Nebuleon B2 have the same supply as the standard TEC anti-fighter? I was pleased with this as it gave me a spamable frigate, but really, the fact that it has a anti fighter attack and a anti frigate attack,
