I noticed Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is now available on Good Old Games. www.gog.com

Is there any more modeling work that is being done on the ships?

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="5002" id="3577525"] Some of the art has changed since i stopped working on SoA2, but when i was working on the art assets the goal was to match, or do better (as in lower) than the poly counts, and texture resolutions of the vanilla assets being replaced. This would insure that any system that can run Sins will have absolutely no trouble running the mod right out of the box. Nor would there be any need for LAA. Obviously hardware has improved s

The other Rebellion mod I play other than this was was Jason's Star Wars Requiem mod. As he has essentially quit working on it GoaFan77 has been continuing working on a modified version of Requiem called Interrgnum. While playing with it last night and today Goa uses something called large address aware that supposedly allows the engine to use more than 2GB of RAM. I know you guys have said in the past that the limit of the engine was 2GB. While Interrgnum is not streamlined as well as SO

Good to know. Thanks!

I have noticed what appears to be a bug. Anytime I colonize a planet with a Vo-Dleh a D-4 will appear on the edge of the gravity well. Another issue I am not sure if is a bug or I am not understanding correctly. When I take over another ship using the Kron special ability, often the captured ship will be sit there and won't be under my control. It will show that I own it now but it's frozen and can't move.

Sweet. Good to know.

Anyone tried SOA2 on Windows 10 during the beta period? Just wondering if any issues were seen before committing to the upgrade at the end of July.

How does the kill switch work on the enslaver class?

Cool. Good to know. Thanks.

One thing I may not be understanding correctly. With Romulan elite ships I have noticed when I right click to activate the cloaking device it's active for 5-6 seconds and then the ship reappears and then I have to left click again to have the ship disappear. And it will continue to do this which is fine but micromanaging it in a large battle is annoying. I have noticed none of the Klingon ships do this and none of the Romulan frigates do either. Once you right click

Whoa. Did not know that.

As many of you probably do I took a few months off from the game to play other games and just recently returned. When I first started playing this mod years ago (wow time flies) I felt like of the non-Borg factions that the Federation was more powerful than anyone else. However over the past few years you guys have done a fantastic job balancing between the non-Borg factions. They seem really close to me in comparative strength now. Good job.

Anything new on the horizon?

Do multiple levels of Subsystem Targeting have any advantages?

Thanks myfist. I passed on the information to my cousin. Hopefully someone is intrigued and decides to hop on board. I told him that if they enjoy Star Trek and play the mod it will hook them.

Ok. As I love this mod and I want to contribute somehow even though I am not a modeler I have a cousin who is a professor at Iowa State University and teaches classes in graphic design. I talked to him about it and he says although many of the students are looking for internships he would post it on their Facebook page to see if anyone is interested. What contact info should I include?

Unfortunately I am not a modeler. What percentage of ships need work done?

[quote who="psychoak" reply="4953" id="3514576"] What hasn't been done in SOA2 is replacing older era models with stuff designed for Sins, that's just not going to happen because there are so few modelers interested in doing it. [/quote] Are you referring to ship models? I have noticed some of them look impeccable (Galaxy class, Vor'cha class) while others don't look quite as detailed.

[quote who="RedDwarf999" reply="4960" id="3515687"] Just finished a 3 day game. Finally lost to the Borg..... [/quote] Haha. Wow. I am always getting my ass kicked by the Borg. At least on large maps and one of the Borg opponents set to hard. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Maybe I am just feeling really sentimental because of the holidays but you guys are the best. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="4939" id="3511526"] Has anyone encountered the DD machine, Whale probe, Vger, Crystalline entity yet? [/quote] I have encountered the Crystalline entity many many times, the Doomsday machine maybe 3-4 times, the Whale Probe twice, and haven't encountered V'ger.
