I removed the effects for that purpose on the repair ability. However that was the problem with the protected shutdown...so it must be the conversion...but I don't see how. Edit: nope the ability was fine it just took a reboot to work haha. Not a sins reboot, a computer reboot. That makes no sense to me but whatever its works great now.
What sort of abilities are supported for what planet modules in Rebellion? Specifically factories and labs...the Vasari factory has the protected shutdown ability, but even copying it over the Advent Factory results in a MD which is I think strange... A repair ability I added to factories in Trinity MDs in Rebellion (altered for Rebellion of course).
First off, the smaller the map the harder AI is. Second, you should focus on expansion at the very beginning. Send the Akkan (or whatever capital you've chosen -- against the AI in a small map I might go with Marza) to heavily defended worlds (if I remember right Gemini has some desert worlds) while sending a pack of cobalts/corvettes + colony to the asteroids. Expand first towards your enemy, then fill in the gaps behind. Gemini has capturable extractors, those are very valuable. Immedia
Quick question...do lab structures support any abilities?
TEC Rebels have a research called Truce Among Rogues. This causes Pirates to be allied and cannot be undone. If you do not wish to make peace do not research this item.

Any examples would be nice so I can base off where to start my own. Thanks! I have not seen it myself but I assure you it is possible. I intend to do it eventually.

[quote who="Twilight_Storm" reply="59" id="3301101"]As long as both sides HAVE an eco player, the balance would be maintained with this. And would even add a bit of flavor to the eco player's roll in the game, rather than being a feed-source alone. Will they devote themselves to feed, or will they drop a pact now and then, or even go straight for pacts? If one side has the pacts, and the other is pure feed, how would this affect the outcome of the game, assuming similar
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="45" id="3300856"] Yeah, but the problem is you can't have unlocked teams in multiplayer. People will make informal alliance, kill everyone else then they have all the time in the world to get relationships up for the allied victory. Which I believe could be as many as 9 players, given that the maximum victors option was removed in Rebellion. If you play a FFA in multiplayer, it is going to be on locked teams, so diplomacy is totally pointless in tha
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="39" id="3299936"] However, arguing that it's just the style of play that prevents envoys doesn't seem to be a valid criticism to me. Playing "cage match" games are the only way to prove which strategies are truly viable and those that aren't. If a strategy is not worth executing under pressure, then it's probably not worth executing at all. Sure you might be able to "get away" with it against the AI, but you probably could have won much
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="14" id="3300796"] Quoting Apheirox, reply 13You don't create a balance where 'pirates' are so insanely powerful they can directly threaten an empire in open confrontation. This is the crux of the issue. And a game like SOASE that undoubtedly tries to take itself seriously needs to address it. Well that's just the thing, to me the pirates really aren't very powerful. They're an annoyance, not a threat. Heck, even their pirate
[quote who="Apheirox" reply="5" id="3300427"]Brilliant, informative post, Goa, thank you. I'll just address your points in order: 1) Perhaps you're right and pirates are hard to balance - I appreciate your detailed historical rundown - but I really don't believe it to be so. My point is simply that, as you say, I dislike the structure of the pirates. We have an exaggeratingly overfortified fortress in the center of the map spewing out waves of extremel

[quote who="maxwell XXXIII" reply="56" id="3299983"]CoronalFire the tauri plasma weapons do not work... in your version of the mod[/quote] Not sure what you mean by that. Plasma Beam weapons are changed to a weapon type instead of abilities. Unlock the weapon by doing the research. Not all ships have plasma beam weapons, but the research shows which ships it works on (all capitals and three or so different frigate entities).
[quote who="HLT" reply="37" id="3299903"]As has been noted above, in multiplayer the way it is currently run by a very small group of very active players, most of the benefits of envoys are discarded and the pace of the game that they force you play through the preconditions on the game that they impose is such that envoys and pacts are not worth the investment in research and, ultimately, fleet capacity. It bears repeating, however, that this is a diminution of the game, not an im

[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="18" id="3272991"] Quoting boshimi336, reply 16What is neat about this though is that there is another idea using similar philosophies that could work in conjunction. Spawn an item at the beginning of the game on every planet, one item at every planet for each player. This item lasts 5 seconds or 10 seconds and then detonates. This will reveal the map plus it's map names (like 'fog of war'). I could just switch the ship from a trade ship
