[quote who="Valpheus" reply="2" id="3372232"] I tried to remove them myself a couple months ago, not knowing anything about how Sins was modded... I did work out how to get into the various compressed files and remove the mine research listings and the ability to build said mines, but it ended up causing a game crash 10-15 minutes into each game, so I eventually got bored and gave up. I think the reason for the crashes was Advent "SquadPsiMineLayer". If you

What's the opposite of Karma and how do I give you that

Tech deflector screens. Then, invest a point or two if you expect the SB to confront Ogrovs. Deflector screen is the one the reduces damage inflicted on the front of your SB. The second level increases your mana pool. It's in the Defense tree. Ogrov pack hits hard but they have a long cooldown. By the time they fire again, your deflector will also be cooled down. And, in part due to their long range, they will all be firing from the same posit

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="1" id="3194236"]Vorastra: Charybdis[/quote] Vorare is the latin word for "eat," for example carnivore or voracious. In Greek mythology (the Odyssey) Charybdis was a sea monster. Alongside Scylla, Charybdis guarded a narrow ocean pass. Scylla's many heads/arms snatched sailors off of the boats trying the pass, while Charybdis used a whirlpool vortex to swallow the boats whole. Considering the titan's specs, it cer

Does anyone else ever send missions of pirates to a friendly world just for leveldriving? I'd like be able to designate myself as the target of a pirate mission (but not necessarily bounty).

On second thought, why not give the anti-bombardment ability to the pirate missile turret? EDIT: Grammar

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="14" id="3192662"]The easiest solution would probably be to give the pirates a starbase with the upgrade that prevents loss due to bombardment. (Easy being relative, as it would be quite a bit of work for me.) [/quote] Why not give the "Pirate Starbase" an innate anti-bombardment ability? I looked at the relevant entity file and it seemed to have 2 levels. I assume the first level is to make the upgr

[quote who="BellGoRiiing" reply="33" id="3186340"]...Last night I was unable to play any of MY games just because I had no internet at the moment, and Steam was unable to connect to the server to start in offline mode. WTF?[/quote] That happens to me occasionally; for some reason offline play is periodically disabled, and it's impossible to login to revert the changes. Here's another gripe about steam: when login fails you are told to visi

Try this: 1.) copy a titan's .entity into your mod and rename it. 2.) open in editor (I like notepad ++) 3.) open a capship file as well. 4.) scroll through the two files and notice where they differ. Examples: entityType, Prerequisites, UpgradeTypeCount 5.) edit the new titan file to emulate the capital ship, remove upgrades section for example.

I've noticed similar overabundances of scouts, not necessarily AR though. I've also seen the AI (TR) patrolling the rim of his territory while I bomb his homeworld(s). His titan never came to the rescue; oddly enough, it jumped to my home star and leveled to 10 off my AI partner, who sent regular sorties through the star.

[quote who="Ryat" reply="1" id="3184725"]This is a rare bug. Get a saved game of it and send it to the devs to solve.[/quote] This has happened to me too, but no more than a few times. OP: Did you have a (Vasari) titan in your fleet? Edited for clarity

Heh, I ordered up about 42 useless squadrons before I noticed this was happening. Then, I forgot and wasted 3 more. Now I decide on a per-map basis whether or not to tech it. [quote who="Seleuceia" reply="5" id="3185083"]Jumping Orkies is OP enough, and now you want to make it more OP? TROLLLLLL... In all seriousness, this may actually be a bug...or it may have been intended since the things are already so damn powerful...you'd really have

[quote who="ituhata" reply="30" id="3185660"]Well once I figured out hoe to play in offline mode it was fine, though its really annoying when I'm trying to reverse tab through my fleet ships to give upgrades or whatnot and the steam window pops up. Now the Gamestop (formerly impulse) downloader was a mystery. What good is it if I buy the game through your downloader client just to get a link to go download it from steam?[/quote]

Advanced NME Warheads only requires 1 level of predecessor (NME Warheads). It should require two, since the second builds off of the first. To express the bug: Start game as Vasari Rebel and look at the named research items. To fix the bug: in file RESEARCHSUBJECT_ADVANCED_NME_WARHEADS, line 16, change the Level value to 2.
