personally, kinda glad it wasn't included. it's entirely to big (size of a "small moon") and the weapon system is well beyond that of your standard starbase (it destroys panets). that said though, I could see it as a Unique starting planet...would add a bit of fluff and provide the visual aspect even if it didn't do anything but sit there like a lump on the log.~
Major Stress, thank you for all the hard work you have put. I greatly appreciate everything you have put together here and personally believe you are one of the best mods on out there given you dedication to your 'vision' you wanted produced. nothing but the best for you and your family. :) again, thank you~
[quote who="harpo99999" reply="750" id="2622637"]jason, their minidump probs are most likely from 1 lazyness, or 2 greed( both from having the graphics settings too high because it does take some effort to drom the graphics from very high(the default) down to medium or even low, depending upon their playstyle ie zooming in to look at individual ships, like you I very rarely have minidumps, but I turn off the trade frigate icon & turn down the graphics...[/quote] agreed.
is it any good? a matter of taste I suppose. I like it. :) yes...entrenchment works with Diplo. they effectively build upon each other and include everything before: Original-->Entrenchment-->Diplomacy. so one can play diplomacy and it includes original and entrench....but, if you play entrench it only includes the original. make sense, or clear as mud? heh~
free steak knives!?! sign me the frak up!!! looking forward to friday when I can get the shiney new diplo version for play :) ~
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="1306" id="2617733"]Jay.... You are assuming that he has the brains to use wordpad. If he could do better than us he would have already done so. He thinks his trolling will make "us" do it for him...WRONG. I think the borg deserve yet another buff... Dont you? hehehe [/quote] YAY!!! Borg get more buffs! Buff the Borg! those pansies are to weak...they need to be faster! stronger! *que ten million dollar man theme* ;)~
far as I know there is no "complete" mod. you have to go through each one, takes a few extra moments is all but understand your view point.~
nice! although, I probably won't use it for various reasons. still...nice to know the option is out there. :)~
...or they could do what so many others have done. this is the first that I personally have come across where the "mods" folder is buried. not saying there are not others....just that this is the first time I have encountered it. ah well, what can one do? heh.~
I love my Stress lead [b]Star Trek Mod Team[/b]! a very large thank you to ALL involved in getting this great mod put together and put out here for the "lumps on the logs" like me, it is very much appreciated. :) ~
[quote who="Boris da Blade" reply="724" id="2614247"]Hi all How do I build the biggest Mon Cals like the Maria (don't have the prerequisite for it)?? [/quote] when you try and click on it and your missing a "req" it will tell you what your missing. one thing you will need that I was missing, when I ran into this, was the diplo one...forgot the name though (at work) :/ ~
this should probably be "stickified" imo. given they hid the mod folder in the hidden files section. ....hopefully future products they put out will have the mod folder a lil easier to find for the "common man".~
...actually, this brings up a good point regarding the game in general. this just meaning that the "mod" folder is kinda buried in the "hidden folders" section versus just being directly under the program which is the most common way. I had a similar issue when I first picked up the game as well. ah well....hopefully future products they put out will have the mod folder a lil easier to find for the "common man".~
...nice! thank you very much. very much belated but what can ya do? :p ~
oh yeah....well aware of the 2gig cap (serious bummer). I like to run things at my standard settings and then slowly work my way down as needed to try and find that sweet spot for game play. :) along a similar line though, I assume you all have "optimized" or plan on doing so? if not...may want to, if for no other reason so you all can cram even more goodies into the mod. :) ~
loaded up the latest versions late last night and spent about an hour an a half playing before wandering off to get some sleep. I was thoroughly impressed with it...all of it. I am most assuredly looking forward to seeing this updated to Diplomacy... did't have any crashes or really any issues at all. if I had any issue at all it would be with the game starting to lag out given the fifty billion strike craft out there. given I did a random game (50planets/5 opp
…after checking out the previous 29 pages of notes and getting a general "feel" for the mod and it's reception by everyone, I am looking to be downloading this one for play. Also, as a few have mentioned, I would also love to see this ported into diplomacy (which it appears you are going to be doin). Porting into diplomacy just seems like the "smart" move imo. Regarding incorporating othermods into this one. My personal opinion would
[quote who="kryo" reply="12" id="2607911"]It's only been five or six weeks since the last update. Nobody is abandoning Sins--further updates will come when they're good and ready. [/quote] nice to see...especially since I just picked up Trinity, which I have enjoyed greatly thus far. :) ~
[b]Borg[/b] I actually have 'zero' issues with the borg being tough/nearly unbeatable in solo games. I like the idea that the game is being built more with the idea that they are not equal (and they're not!) but superior to the other factions. The downside to this being that I will probably never beat them given I only play solo. Even still, I would NOT want to see them beat senseless with the ole nerf bat. Indeed, if that happened I would actual
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="100" id="2574286"] Many talked about doing something similar to what i am doing here, but that is all i saw.. just talk. As i said before this is not rocket science, or brain surgery. Anyone with notepad, and a texture editor can do this. I just took the initiative, and did it. [/quote] …this is why you are one of the best a
Ok, now I think we are all missing one another although this is ok as it all is something I am interested in. I was originally refering to individual faction ship skins, and factions on the whole (skins and stats) be put in and how would the game react to them (even if these were not selectable as a "playable" faction). At this time I am just wondering and not asking for you all to do this but given your considerable knowledge into the working of the program itself seemed a logical question.<
Well, had my first "real" sit down session last night with the mod…and I am one happy lil camper, if for no other reason, my favorite lil ship is in the mod, the Steamrunner. As such, given the steamrunner is in there this mod automatically qualifies "FTW!" in my books. I am very much impressed with all the ships I have seen thus far..I spent a fair amount of time initiating battles just so I could zoom in and look at the various ships "in action"…but as always I drifted back to
very much so. along a similar line then, given the ever fun 2gig cap, could additional skins be placed in for the various races, like the original Sins skins, even if nothing else was used? then system when generating for random games would have multiple choices for skin usage for each race? dunno...thinkin this is a no no to given the evil ceiling... hmmm... it's official in my books, we need a new 64 version of sins. while I can totall
...and so after a couple days of actually reading every single post on every single page in this thread I have finally reached the end. hurrah! yes, apparently I am into pain, especially given the redundancy in the requests and statements....you all need to set up a nice lil copy paste with stock answer for some things, save yourselves some time and heartburn from actually typing out responces...heh I am new SoSE, having just picked it up this past weekend (I have th
