What about the race specific explosions I read about somewhere, will that feature be in Distant Stars?

Distant Stars team: 1. Use his models 2.Make pirate or rebel faction with them 3. ???? 4. PROFIT

I tried to post this suggestion earlier, but it got lost in the floods. All races need an equivalent of the Unity special planet type, I won't go into detail, because the last post took half an hour and I'm in a hurry, so to the point: TEC: Galactic Administration Centre, lowers fleet upkeep, looks like a giant civillian lab with trade ports atached to its weird bay, arm, whatever thingies. The lowering upkeep is like an ability and needs to be upgraded there, and costs quite

How do I go about getting dynamic movement in Diplomacy 1.01?

Well anyway, if you have the time, please get the instant messenger skype, it will allow us to share ideas better, seing as my internet has problems with some pages, especially this one, and I just find it hard to make long posts, go figure, again my skypename is raven6six6

Thank you so much, +1 Karma for the help, also while we are on the subject: being an Advent player, I can sure as hell dig the planet type you added, but what about the other races, maybe the TEC could have a Galactic Trade, but to make it interessting, instead of it increasing trade income (kinda obvious) it will lower the Fleet Upkeep, how does this make sence, well imagine a gigantic space station (it will use the trade port model) that handles all of the accounting of the empire, redistri

Yesterday, me and my friend were playing a map I made, it had all the planet types and a secret cluster, consisting of 2 Ancient Citadels and the Consiousness of The Unity ( I know I can't type), which were insanely hard to get to, aquire and defend, because I thought they would be cool and usefull and very powerful and valuable things to own, until I found out the the Unity was nothing more than a planet and that the Citadels were empty. Please increase the the chance that Ancient Citadels h

Sadly we need coders and sexperienced mappers for that, because even though I can make maps, there is not working template system to be had, aka I can't do squat on the technical side of things.

The writing and creative stuff is taken care of, we need coders and the like.

Why would you need to see phase lines, when you can just simply, click on a planet you need to send your ships and they will go. Or if you want to see them for the strategic aspect, simply click on all the neighboringplanets with your ships and you will see if there are pahse lines. As for making them different colours, there should be a texture or something, that handles those, I will search for it now.

Jean, please get skype, at skype.com and contant me regarding this. I am willing to begin work on writing and start recording voice acting, but only if we have a team behind this.

Synergy A map made to include all the content from Distant Stars, made strictly for two teams of two and one team of one, or free for all. Hope you like it. P.S. It has a secret...

Use tunngle, that's what I use and I have yet to have a dsync issue. tunngle.net

I had the same problem, which is why I stopped playing online and do all my multiplayer with Tunngle (much better than Hamachi) . Sure I play only with 2 guys+AI but it's just a better experience to have a stable game and such.

Just a side note, very small element, that will just add to the polishedness of the mod. In order to capture wrecks of ships, you need to click Crew Extractor, well seing as this button, now actually has the efect of sending a crew to capture a derelict facility or vessel. Well I just think it's better to have it renamed and if every race could have a different name, that would be so metal. TEC: Send Crew Vassari: Capture Advent: Integrate This is just one of those small t

Because it makes sence, I just can't find it believeable, that we build our bases with their backs turned to the enemy, and we can't rotate them.

Excuse my language, I did not mean to offend you, as I really did enjoy the way that looked, but as a cynical HALO fan boy I have the urge to pop up and criticise everything which so much as bends cannon, as long as it is HALO related. You did an outstanding job with the effect, it's just that it should either be a tad slower or miss more, to fit with cannon. Again, excuse my language if I offend you, and yes you did a very god job on those effects. :)

Ok, and what about giving us the ability to control it's rotation, as in, you just right click as a normal move order, but it doesn't move it just rotates, to face the direction in which you clicked? Is that doable?

Suggestion: Make Starbases moveable, increase hangar capacity, currently I can rival a starbase with a carrier ship and a carrier cruiser, making it moveable does not mena being able to jump. Slightly increase cost and modaratly increase build time. P.S. It should move slow.

It looks very good, though it strikes me as a bit non cannon, as in, it is stated that sure, they do trace, but they are also slow, and have a high chance of missing, a lot like a needler in HALO Combat Evolved, sure it does trace, but give it an agile enough target and it won't hit it. That is what gives the UNSC ships survivability, that they can evade, otherwise, covenant wipe us out in an instant.

Why would I, seing as I have only modified an already existing portrait? Or do I have to? From what I can see, that file deals with the location of portraits, but I have not added any, I have just edited an existing one, that does work, only that my edit does not show up in the selection screen, I thought that that screen was handled by PlyayerPortraitlarge

I edit the stock ones, aka I just edited I did not add any. I edited the .tga files, namely: Player_Portrait_Large; Player_Portrait_Button; Player_Portrait_Small; Player_Portrait_Window . However, seing as this particular portrait is from the Distant Stars mod, there was no Player_Portrait_Medium to edit, but this is irrelevant, because my modification does not apear only in the Player Options window, where you select portraits.

Why would you, the reasearch is just plain better and better fleshes out the races diffrences.

I repeat my question, because this issue seems weird. I edit the picture in the Player_Portrait_Large and the modification, does not show up ingame, though the modifications to the buttons and info card one, work. What went worng and what to do.

Any idea on when we should be expecting a v1.0 Release or atleast the next version compatible with Diplomacy, though from the testing I did, there really are very few things worng with it, for a beta, this is very polished.
