[quote who="devancio" reply="19" id="2348902"]Hello, thanks for the new release but after I download the mod and unpack the mod I get errors. I have redownloaded the mod twice and the winrar program keeps saying that all the files are corrupt, what could I be doing wrong? [/quote] I just verified this is the case. The file contains hundreds of corrupt files in it. Something must have happened in either the archive creation or the upload.

[quote who="Canute000" reply="9" id="2329800"] One thing that I noticed, you gave the TEC starbase the ability to move. Well, the problem is that it won't move on its own, you have to make it. I'm not sure what's causing this but it sits in place and will not approach attackers. No they will move at their own when you set the engangment range from "Hold Position" to "Gravity wall" [/quote] Yes I figured that out like 5 minutes after posti

I like what you have done so far. You sort of blended the TEC fleet with the pirates. What would be even better is if you could sort of blend the capital ships with the Vasari capital ship types. This would probably require some modeling to do this correclty. You also have sort of blended the TEC with the Vasari techs. Only on the civilian side of things with the bottom category. This definately needs more fleshing out. One thing that I noticed, y

One item to make a note of, after researching arctic / volcanic exploitation, those planet types are still uncolonizable. I found this playing the TEC, not sure if the other factions are effected by this as well.

[quote who="JasonFJ" reply="10" id="2149184"]Stimson... I just started a new game and there was no problem, so it's probable you are playing an old saved game. With the research tree enhancement, all saved game existing ships lose their ability. You could try making new colony craft. Can you confirm this is what is happening to you? Vunda... lol I'm not sure where you are seening SS Ownage, but it's not in the mod I made! As for use of Tartan and Carrack ships, it's the opinion of

First thing that I notice right off the bat is that you can no longer colonize artic and volcanic planet types even if you have researched the tech. I'm not sure if there are any other problems at this point. I'm having trouble spreading out and obtaining more technologies and a substantial fleet size without those planets.

[quote who="JasonFJ" reply="3" id="2147260"]If I could get a properly textured Death Star mesh (preferably with nice alpha and specular channels in) I would gladly include this as a starbase mesh! As for research trees, I've just released the 1.7 final release candidate for Requiem (it's on http://sins.imperial.cc in the Modders forum for download link). It includes some changes to the research trees (Tech Policy replaced by Vasari Oppression research, removed autocannon research,

Normally there is an icon in the list of skills that the starbase has. I also watched several fleets of pirates jump into my system with a starbase. Usually they would all be tagged with that effect but I haven't seen one of them yet to get that.

Another item I have noticed is that the starbase does not have the phase disruptor ability applied to it. The tech that boosts this ability is there but doesn't add anything to the starbase. I'm not sure if this was on purpose but it should have the 30% damage / 100% anti-matter lost ability from the get go. Also, not sure if you noticed this from above: Loronar Cruiser is buildable without doing the required research. Another item that came up, the

[quote who="Warmaster55" reply="16" id="2128205"]Stimson Did you apply the 1.4 patch to a 1.3 version? I'm wondering because I didn't get to install the 1.3 patch before the 1.4 was released, I know the patch says the upgrade should work for 1.2 or 1.3, but two people trying to go basically from a clean install are having troubles jumping the gap that the patch is supposed to support.[/quote] I've gone from 1.2 to 1.3. Today I grabbed the 1.3 to 1.4.

Nice addition of the Tie Fighters / Bombers. The only thing I noticed was that hanger defense facilities still have the old TEC fighters / bombers. I think the Death Star would fit nicely as the starbase. We are looking to have a balanced mod to play with the stock races here so making an overly powerful version would be out of the question. I think it would just be over the top to see a Death Star flying around your gravity well protecting your colony.

One thought I had was for the starbase for the Empire. Obviously if we had a model of the deathstar it would be great. I think it should be able to move about the system like the Vasari Starbase does, but it cannot phase jump out of the system. It could also have the ability, once reasearched, to shoot the main cannon. You could use the Advent's Radiance Cleansing Brilliance as the ability. Just a thought, would be awesome to just see the Death Star flying around

I'm not sure what could have happened to the turrets but I restarted a game and am playing as the TEC and the turrents will turn towards enemies again. I'm not sure what changed to make the turrets work correctly again other than playing as a different race. It isn't the turrets on the ships that turn, I'm talking the planetary defense turrets. In a large battle with lots of bombers and fighters, which happens mid to later game, the lancer frigate gets killed almos

Another thing to make a note of, it seems that turrents no longer will rotate to shoot at an enemy ship. I've seen them rock back and forth shooting at something but they will not rotate around to shoot something that has gotten behind them. Now I don't normally play as the TEC, I'm an Advent player, but I'd assume that if their turrents rotate that the TEC's would as well. Did you change that way the turrents function?
