Just a fyi a patch is on the way . The patch will address some gameplay and stat changes. We added missing componets of the user interface. Borg were adjusted and We also found the time to add some new content in for you!!! With this release we rounded some of the rough edges Soa2 had. [e digicons]:P[/e] The dominon and romulan starbases are being worked on as we speak. Missing componets of the hud are now in and all ships / structures ha
[quote who="G-ADM_Prawn" reply="793" id="2535671"]It's funny how somebody (QTD I think) mentioned Roddenberry didn't like 3rd warp nacelles, since they seemed to become pseudo-cannon while he was notionally on-watch over TNG. If you recall, the grand finale (All Good Things...) featured a future Enterprise-D with a third nacelle added. That may be what the "Entendre Class Dreadnaught" above is trying to show, but it's just ugly. It's like strapping square metal boxes on a sh

Hello Everyone, The main topic now seems to be about the AI. So lets just dispell some theories on the AI. Since the latest patch. The AI has improved five fold. The AI still seems to have issues with the CAPITAL ships being locked up in research. That is why the ai will turtle on people till its ready to attack. The fleet balancing has improv

Ie not Soa2 inside a Soa2 folder, sounds like that is your issue. If so cut copy and paste the second Soa2 folder into the mods 1.05 folder thanks jtaylorpcs
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="618" id="2527586"]Just move the soa2 0.4e folder from your mods-1.041 folder into your mods-1.05 folder. Or if you have a fresh sins install just install it into \mods-1.05. We will get around to fixing the installer soon enough. Its been pretty crazy here as you can see. Once we get the free time it will get done. Yes i am officially back... I will start work on the 0.5E foundation this weekend (if i have a full 2 days off). Everything as of 0.4E.1

I dont recall any fed ship ever having 100% mitigation when i made the foundation. it was usually in the 10 to 15% range IIRC (its been a while since i looked at it)..
