[quote who="Syneptus" reply="1422" id="2640113"]My totaleffects mod mostly focuses on doing the opposite to vanilla abilities. It makes almost ALL of them look better, but uses more processor power. If you are looking for space, a full set of vanilla binary particles is only about 3-4 mBs. My mod also does a couple changes to the deliverance engine, and all the other cannons. My mod is probably NOT what you are looking for, because, again, it boosts the quality of each effect rathe
[quote who="Syneptus" reply="1415" id="2638826"]Hello SOA2 team JTAYLORPCS mentioned that he wanted particle effects, does this mod really need particle upgrades? I have the slowest connection known to man, and it would take too long to download SOA2. If someone could just post the particle effects as a download file, I could do something about them. Up to you, doesnt really matter to me, I do this for fun... [/quote] Hello I will compile a list of what we n
[quote who="just_jim" reply="1413" id="2638734"]Hey guys on the Mod team, I have a question if you have a second. Since everyone is busy and it looks like the next version will be a while, which, BTW, is fine... I know Stress and everyone is busy. But since it looks like it's gonna be a while I figured I'd play around and add the planets from Distant Stars into my copy of SoA2, at least the ones from our own solar system. So far that's what I've done, imported everythin

[quote who="StarTrekFreak" reply="1369" id="2628325"]I was just wondering if you can put the max ship slots to 4000, and max capital ship slots to 32. If you have any extra time on your hands if you can also put species 8472 in. [/quote] We are working on the balance and fleet supply as we speak, as to species 8472 , HELL NO , isnt going to happen, The ship line ups are set in STONE. The only ships we will be adding that are not in the mod

He thinks his trolling will make "us" do it for him...WRONG. I think the borg deserve yet another buff... Dont you? hehehe [/quote] Agreed Stress the do need a buff in certain areas and a nerf in others namely assimilation is going to be nerfed a bit, for two reason 1. to fit in with the startrek lore 
[quote who="RedneckRapture" reply="1301" id="2617212"]To quote Stress, the Feds can outsmart the Borg or get allies onto their side. Well, your mod doesn't give anything to 'outsmart' the Borg. There's also the fact that if you only play alone or with a friend, you won't have the power to beat end game Borg. So, like I said, I'm simply going to modify your mod when it's released into something mo' better for me and mine. [/quote] Thats fine but we hope you only pla
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="1295" id="2616688"]Its no secret that new models from me will be problematic due to my RL work scheduale. 14 hour days does not leave much time for creating new meshes, and i cant go without sleep. You know us old geezers need their naps. I did however manage to get all but 2 units for the klingons rescaled for 0.5. The 0.4 series i am leaving in your hands as far as new content and updates.. Once i get the new foundations done we can work on interg
[quote who="Mystic Angel" reply="1293" id="2616080"]You don't like my semi-sarcastic Dominion ship descriptions? Seriously, that job belongs to someone else, but I was tired of seeing nothing. Plus, I didn't have enough creativity left in me to do all of the Dominion ships after doing the Fed descriptions. If you'd like to do them yourself, then by all means please do so. We're all a bit burned out at the moment and can use any help that's offered.<br
[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="1273" id="2614424"]Considering how epically Borg fail at infantry combat compared to actual soldiers, not as many as you would think. Especially if Starfleet would do something militaristic and set up a Marine Corps and equip them with the 21st Century invention known as power armor. Throw some railguns or coilguns in as weapons and you have some lovely Borg-killing troops. Keep in mind they wouldn't need to kill every drone on the Cube, they
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="1264" id="2613983"]So why all of the flames, fuss, and drama for borg features (be it canon or made up) that we more than likely can NOT duplicate in sins?

[quote who="myfist0" reply="190" id="2588872"]0.03 ADrive Mirror As soon as you uploaded I made an ADrive mirror. post 137 1 thing I did learn is ADrive free links good 30 days.[/quote] That is correct without a paying subscription you have to manually update the links every thirty days. But so far A drive is more reliable than most free file sharing services.
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="179" id="2585611"]And what of the MP peeps that will de-sync because if they use the project they will have different files than the people that do not use the project? (Holy Shit! Major Stress is actually thinking about the MP peeps. Call Ripley's). Different file names is out of the question. There must be another way. No dev bashing! They are pretty much done with Sins, and moving on to Elemental. So it is up to US now.[/quote]
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="177" id="2584754"]The problem with that Jay is it wont be "vanilla" sins if we change the file names. The final goal is to be able to merge the project into the game itself, and not have to run it as a mod. [/quote] Actually stress it could be merged with the mod and the files removed via a handly little installer we have used in the past. As it stands now this is the only way to achieve the final goal. , Unless the devs get up off there ARS
[quote who="SuperZERO0" reply="5" id="2584692"]@ CursedSpirit, I would not recomend doing it that way. What about the travelSpeed and duration. If you put a beam weapon effects onto an auto cannons, it will have a travelSpeed of 4000 when it should be 0. The duration will be 0 when it should be 4. So effect wise your beam will last for 0 seconds. You may get away with swapping an autocannon with a laser because they are both projectile type, but even then the DamageType is differ
[quote who="Yanxa" reply="1170" id="2583978"]Hm. For some reason this keeps causing my game to MiniDump anywhere from 30-45 minutes in.

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="174" id="2583871"]The textures are pretty much as optimized as they are going to get. If they are reduced in size any more severe detail loss will occur. So now the focus should be on the meshes themselves, and the UI. All of the capital ship meshes are pretty much right where they should be. At around 4000 tri's, and under. Frigates and Cruisers are pretty slim too. With only a few exceptions. It seems the poly hoggers are the NPC ships, and the structures. W

There's a huge N/A music festival here in Florida in 3 weks, and I found out I made the finals in the flute players competition. Besides $$$, there are huge bragging rights at stake.. hehehe. So right now I spend pretty much all day every day practicing...
