Hey I am getting this now trying to add a post anybody else having problems today?

I am making this thread to gain insight to many answers as I mod my personal version of SOA2. Its also a place for me to store answers to many questions I have seen and read on the forum already, and while I am modding SOA2 many questions I have are kind of generic and thus probably could be answered by anybody and this is why I am placing this on the main modding forum versus under the SOA2 thread. So if you see something you know

Alright guys I got most of my worlds laid out and there system star coordinates done. I also got my outline finishe. One problem I have been playing with on the side and have yet to find a work around is # 8 in the Galaxy Map Projects.

I know it seem like a dumb question but I had know idea so I had to ask. Entrenchment and Diplomacy are basically mods to the original sins. Entrenchment had the starbase add on and while diplomacy has starbases I believe it just uses the resources from entrenchment so to find them look in the entrenchment folder\gameinfo
