[quote who="Yarlen" reply="26" id="3202204"] The bad news is that it's going to take a month to get them from Hong Kong. [/quote] That is rather unfortunate news, but I must thank you for keeping us up to date.
It looks great - I can not wait to see what it will look like done! I am looking forward to it!
[quote who="Yarlen" reply="20" id="3200279"]Here you go. Opening Theme The Fallen Empire ... Vasari Rebels - Diplomatic Envoys Vasari Rebels - History in the Making I should have a shipping update next week for folks.[/quote] That is great news! Thank you so much for informing us!
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="3" id="3200379"]I also think that the evil the Advent Rebels found in the unity is related to what is chasing the Vasari. However I think its because whatever they are, are also telepathic, and where able infiltrate the unity without the loyalists knowing and the Rebels being able to figure out what it was. This doesn't necessarily conflict with the OP's idea though, perhaps the Vasari accidentally connected to another dimension that let these guys in.[/qu
It looks great, GoaFan77 .
[quote who="axxo2" reply="202" id="3194911"]did this one along time ago (terrible nate requested some larger art) but i didnt post it.. i didnt know if it was cool enough or it was missing something (:[/quote] Adding onto what Ryat said, I think that what you have made is a true piece of art.
[quote who="TopAce6" reply="9" id="3192557"]well the vasari and tec superweapons actually do something, however the advent superwepon as far as i can tell in my extensive playtime is useless.[/quote] Well, if you hit a planet with the Deliverance Engine, all of your ships will get a %25 bonus to damage output at that planet, so it is not "that" useless.
[quote who="Yarlen" reply="7" id="3192674"]Unfortunately (and I mean that sincerely), we're looking at mid-August right now. The Kol's are being packaged up for shipping, but it's still going to take some time since they're coming from Hong Kong. [/quote] Well, stuff like this happens - it could have been worse. I just hope that I will get my Collector's Edition in time.
[quote who="Artagel" reply="5" id="3187528"]Did someone with Steam push the wrong button again? This is pretty unusual for an unannounced reversion.. especially just before a weekend.[/quote] I think that is the case. I do not recall any posts by the devs concerning a revert to an older version of Rebellion.
Well, there is a Vasari Rebel tech that needs to be researched first in order to allow your allies to use your phase gates - it is called Shared Network, and it is a tier five Manipulation tech. Did you research it?
The planet that your fleet was in, did it have a phase node itself? If not, then there is your problem.
[quote who="Ratatosk7" reply="1" id="3172331"]1 and 3 seem most likely. I'm sure someone else noticed before me, but there is some hinting that something has tainted the Unity, maybe even manipulated the Advent as a species. Number 3 could possibly do this if its some sort of lovecraftian horror race from another dimension. Maybe even the current divisions in the factions are subtly nudged by this unknown force to weaken them further. I'm not sure if even the writers have decided what
[quote who="KrdaxDrkrun" reply="1" id="3172130"]Just ran through the ENTIRE English.str file and found nothing... CURSE YOU STARCLAD WHY MUST YOU MAKE THIS DIFFICULT[/quote] If I recall correctly, it was said that it was hidden in the code of Rebellion - you might have a better chance looking through the GameInfo folder (this is just a guess on my part).
Edit: It has been a long day for me - I misread your post.
I thought that the description of the tech said that the remains of the Dark Fleet are rebuilt? The description of the Returning Armada tech (Not the Dark Fleet tech, though it effectively says the same thing) is "Grants the Returning Armada ability to Phase Stabilizer structures, allowing them to contact remnants of the Dark Fleet and enlist their aid for your empire."
[quote who="axxo2" reply="61" id="3157462"]ooh can some one tell me how to add pic to forum so that i dont have to post links, just have pic here... thanks![/quote] There is one of two ways. You can drag and drop your picture into the reply box (though I do not recommend it. I have had problems doing this.) The other way is to click on the tree icon in the quick reply area. You then can take, for example, <a href="http://bbb4445.deviantart.com/art/sins-of-solar-empire-rebellion-fan-ar
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="3" id="3156853"]Flagship victory counts against you too. [/quote] Going on what Goa said, I think that the flagship is counted as a frigate in the game.
The Dark Fleet is coded to take up resources, but as it currently stands, you just need the required amount of resources to activate the ability - it then does not take up resources. The ability is bugged. I would check what the required amount of resources is, but I seem to be unable to convert the three abilities from entity files to txt files.
Did you do quick start? I hear that the two free scout ships will count against you.
You can go to the diplomacy screen, but sometimes it is not easy to see. Something like a fist or a crown in the bottom left of the portrait would make identifying sub-factions immensely easier. I would think that if this was implemented, the most time consuming task would be making a crown icon.
Inside of the .entity file for Protection of the unity, it says that each time it is researched, the modifier CultureShieldRegenAmount is increased by .3333... each time. I would suspect that one needs to be in your own culture, though I am not certain about friendly/ally culture.
Try not to be so harsh on yourself - we all make mistakes.
[quote who="MacGyver2" reply="24" id="3154755"]Other players/races need means to disable SB jump to own planets. Maybe new module to SB or tech to upgrade Phase Jump Inhibitor.[/quote] As much as I agree with you, I do not think that a single tech should completely counter another tech. I would suggest, after researching a tech (tier four or five), starbases traveling to a hostile gravity well that have a phase jump inhibitor h

[quote who="crisaron" reply="1" id="3154787"]14 hours inside a game on slow? you are crazyyy!!!![/quote] Some people just enjoy long and slow games. I have a friend that once spent three months playing a map, in Trinity of course. It consisted of over three hundred planets.
