There is an old and new KOL? Can you post links for comparison?

Reply to Cloaked Ships - Possible? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

So cloaking is pretty easy then. We just have to change the particle effect and mod the ability so that ships can move while it's initiated? Really, that simple? To challenge people... How could we make scouts detect them? Could we have a passive ability that removes phase cloaking? Or interrupts it or something to that effect? (within a certain range)

Check the two links. The one right about that comment is Teal's thread.

Good call. So can't we just give it a phase cloak ability and change the particle effect on that ability? Excuse my ignorance, but what's holding that back? I'm missing something.

The only issue I see with that is that other ships will still be able to see it and shoot it. Nes Pas?

check with Teal. I don't know of a tutorial, but he is working on modding some research right now. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/329761 I have a list there of a bunch of modding ideas. Might help you out. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/331735/#1961737 &nb

It should work exactly the same, the coding is just reversed. Justin and I have been able to come up with some pretty unique ways of solving some modding ideas just by reversing them or taking different angles. (OK to be honest usually Annatar just does it for us, but we've done our fair share of solving them with our imagination hahaha)

^I"m working on similar maps. I'm trying to find a way to make each person have their own star but not make it too tedious to attack. So far I've made multiple stars, some with planets some without. I've then made sure that everything in each star is connected to one another. This way, if you are in a different solar system from somone else, it is still only 3 jumps between your homeworld and theirs. It's been interesting, but I'll have to tweak it a bit more. Now

A few people have. Things like missile platforms (TEC BS Carrier) ability and planet bombardment abilities are just frigate spawns with 0 speed and a time limit. So all you'd have to do is create an ability that references a frigate. Correct me if I'm wrong Justin...

Good news. You're doing a HW mod?

Reply to Ideas for A Complete Conversion Mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

That would work for Non-colonizable grav wells? I'm thinking of making a colony ship that can create one of those star bases i was talking about earlier. I don't want the AI to drop those everywhere though, only in astroid belts, plasma and magnetic and gas giants. Know what I'm saying?

Reply to OnOwnerDeath instant action...NEED HELP! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Yeah his idea was that say at hull 5, where the ship is so close to death it will die anyways (99% of the time) just make it blow itself up and send out resources.

Reply to OnOwnerDeath instant action...NEED HELP! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

What if you used the pirate ability "steal income" and make it only useable right before the enemy dies.

Reply to Need input on how to make ships with targetable sections. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Isn't targeting uplink a passive ability? Would that still work? If so, that would be cool because all my Caps in my mod will have passive abilities. I agree with you somewhat Justin. It might be better to just leave them as is. Since they are so big they might get sloppy. Who knows till we try it though.

Reply to Need input on how to make ships with targetable sections. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

The only Issue I have with that is that it uses up ability slots (or am I wrong?). Since frigates only use 1 or 2 abilities it would work for them. Cap ships would just have to remain stationary.

If they don't take fleet capacity they would be fine for endgame when you've got so many resources and maxed fleet. But by that time the game is already decided unless you're playing a 100 planet map.

In the thread where someone said they got it to work, it did seem like for some reason it fell apart. I asked why but no one really responded.

[quote who="Hack78" reply="5" id="1960533"] I'd wager it's not the thought of losing that scares the new guys, it's the style of play that the "pros" use. Playing against new people is always more fun because they use many different strategies and techniques. The people who have been playing for a long time use cookie cutter strategies. It's about who can click and spam more than the other guy. Those strategies are great for winning, but not for having fun. TK

Why can't we just change deceleration values from 0 to something else? It's not strikecraft movement, but it should simulate a moving battle fairly well.
