At this point SoaSE should have died off yet it's still here. I doubt something catastrophic is going to happen anytime soon. There's a lot of more pressing issues other than funky netcode and servers that should be addressed. Like making the game 64 bit? Though it makes sense for Stardock to discontinue support of SoaSE at this point. They've done all they could (the last DLC puts them really close at the 2GB limit I hear) and need to do really. SoaSE is still one

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="9" id="3474140"] Also I'm told you can remove DLCs with steam now, so I guess modding isn't strictly needed anymore.[/quote] Yeah if you right click your game and go to the DLC tab in properties, you can select which DLCs you want installed.

[quote who="Larani64" reply="36" id="3471632"] Quoting Rovert10, reply 35 Because competition is fun. That's it. People have fun because they are challenged. It isn't some ego drive narcissistic nature. To be challenged is fun, otherwise its boring, but the outcome of that challenge is irrelevant, but to a individual who has a ego driven narcissistic nature to them the outcome is EVERYTHING, without the outcome they need there is no fun and they become a ra

[quote who="Larani64" reply="32" id="3471623"]While I haven't played MP, I have modded and done SP, reading the posts here I have come to the conclusion, that the problem with MP is a shrinking player base caused by yes glitches but also by skilled / veterans not wanting to recruit newbies because their ego driven, narcissistic competitive natures are getting the best of them, and newbies are being turned off by it and not sticking around. This is just a game folks its supposed to be fun

SoaSE in particular just has a weird history between MP players and modders (probably SP would be better) for some profound reason. I still fail to see how the two communities produce any symbiotic relationship to each other since they just keep to themselves in the first place. There is no interaction barring a few exceptions as Stilat would have us to believe. Is it as wide as psychoak makes it out to be? Most likely not. But there's was a pretty clear dividing line between the

[quote who="psychoak" reply="26" id="3471536"]A while before Rebellion, there was a bout of bitching and moaning over how the expansions had ruined the community by breaking the player base up between original, Entrenchment, and Diplomacy. The complaint was expanded, with a few really special people deciding modders should stop splitting up the community too.[/quote] Oh boy I remember that whole shit storm. Though Rebellion tore a hole in everyone having a lot to do with the cha

I left the MP community due to just lost of interest to continue playing. The old core of players were leaving in droves after playing essentially the same game for a long long time. Joining the SoTP team and modding was the only thing that kept me going back to this game. And it still does. No matter how hard we tried it just ended the next day before anyone stuck around. Not to mention we were consistently frustrated, bored, and tired of it. It got to a point where we mostly threw o

[quote who="Stilat" reply="22" id="3471515"] And i like the constant character assassinations that you throw at the MP scene. How about you actually refute the points presented, instead of posting amateur shit like "MP pple too scary, they use mean words and hurt my feelings." When did that attack on the modders happen again? Is this something you pulled out of your ass and are now calling it fact? If anything, multiplayer players have a symbiotic relationship with modders, given the lat

[quote who="Landgrab" reply="17" id="3471482"] What i meant was heavy initial support and the foundations needed for MP. All we need from the the game developers is a racetrack and a little push, and the community can take it from there. Stardock and Ironclad didn't even give us a tickle. Instead, they decided to pour poison on us (metaphorically speaking), with a few spikes along the dirt path.[/quote] More or less they just didn't put any road in t

[quote who="Landgrab" reply="15" id="3471435"] Seleuceia, Turchany, and Hydraling are right (although the latter might find it prudent to be a little less hostile). Look at a game like Homeworld. 15 years after its release, it probably has 5x more active players than rebellion after less than two. Why is that? Heavy support for that aspect of the game.[/quote] Homeworld has heavy support? You mean the modding community propping the game up at the moment or that Gearbox running u

[quote who="Hydraling" reply="4" id="3471058"] I have been here since 2010. Rebellion came out two years ago, which is not that long ago. No other game with MP I know has less than 40 active players in less than two years since release, even with 2 dlcs. Obvious troll is obvious.[/quote] After playing ICO for a few years till I quit shortly after the Beta of Rebellion ended. Stardock and Ironclad honestly don't care for ICO. It was tacked on admittedly.

[quote quoting="post"] I played the original sins a few years ago and loved it, as I remeber there was a single player campaign game. Does the new Rebellion have a single player campaign or is it just a bunch of short scenarios? [/quote] There was never a campaign for SoaSE even in the original.

There is a enabled mods text file in the download. Use that and just copy over the current one in the 1.80 mod folder.
