Thank you Stant123 and Myfist0 for the links. :) I've been wondering how to 'tweak' things to play more the way I've thought ships would behave in battle. Like carriers hanging on the outskirts of a battle giving support, torpedo and missile ships staying JUST within missile/torpedo range and withdrawing if attacked. Little things like that. What
[quote who="Stant123" reply="5759" id="2977689"] Quoting DavidFalcon, reply 5758My Question is... What do I use to edit an Entity file with so I can have my Dynamic Movement working right?!? Any text editing program you feel comfortable using... That is, after you've converted the files to text format...[/quote] Thanks for editing the files, I'll give them a try. Also, what do I use to convert them to text
[quote who="SaintMina" reply="5757" id="2977678"] Quoting Stant123, reply 5756If I were to place a bet on how many people like dynamic movement versus those who don't, I'd probably lose, but I do know that I, as well as the majority, don't like it... But it is included as a minimod add on for those who do like it because there is a large enough group that does like having it. It's not up to date though. To do this is somewhat easy as well. All you have to do is grab a cop
One thing I DID notice is the "String not found" name for the Tachyon disruption tech (TEC Defense tree) It seems to works fine other than the name is 'string not found'
I actually think the pirates for once were balanced. A force to reckon with and as long as you keep them away until you get a starbase and some mines sat up you can handle them. Once they hit the minefield (even their strongest force), it tares them up enough for a starbase and 2 cannons (TEC) to tare them appart. As for taking out their base, simply wait until either a raiding party leaves or lure out the raiding party (death to the system you used to lure them o
[quote who="XATHOS" reply="5564" id="2970576"]Just to clarify: the uploaded version is compliant with new 1.31 patch that was released today.[/quote] Always something good to know. :D @ Stant123: I keep
[quote who="XATHOS" reply="5522" id="2969178"]I was in the middle of making a compilation mod based on DS when they released the patch. I have a whole bunch of work ahead of me now. Anyway, when will you boys get the next DS update out that is 1.3 compliant?[/quote] When they get done playing SINS 1.3 first!
[quote who="Yarlen" reply="55" id="2967131"]We won't be having a beta for v1.3 and we're not doing anything with trade ships at this time.[/quote] at this time... :) Hope for future updates! The thing I like about Stardock is even after a game is OLD by most people's standards and they even have the next release coming... they STILL support and add to the old game. There are SO few companies that do that anymore in the gaming world. Stardock, Egosoft,
[quote who="Ryat" reply="6" id="2940863"] Make that an optional thing. Some of us like the deep, long games that are scaled big. I'm not a big fan of MP and enjoy a long, big scale game that takes a while. But I also understand that others like the MP and agree that going large scale can be annoying. So an optional setting would be nice.[/quote] Great minds think alike, Ryat. I personally like long and big scaled games that take me days to complete. Somet
Just a thought that would also impact the game and make things more interesting, fighter pilot school. You have schools to train the crew of a ship for the ship's experience, but why not have a tech to train fighter pilots to hit more accurately and be more evasive? I understand that you can't really give experience to the fighters because they are so short lived, however if the pilots had to go through a school before becoming pilots (hence the tech) then ever pilot getting into a fi
I don't play the online part of this but I'm looking at it like this... How many companies still go out of their way to support a product THIS old? They are still trying to support it and still keeping in contact with their customer base and listening to suggestions and complaints. Patience is what they need from our end. [e digicons]:hrmph:[/e] Granted I do admit that sometimes when the bugs are a real annoyance it is hard to remain waiting calmly...
I've been usually going 4 gunships, 4 bombers, 6 EWS bombers for my starbases and along the same lines with gunships/fighters to bombers with caps. Been rather devastating for the opposing sides.
I have trinity already, but had I not... combine it with the $10 off rebellion, it meant that you were actually getting it for $10 so I would have jumped on that wagon!
Guys.... (and gals) you have to remember, IMPULSE was acquired not STARDOCK! What this means is Stardock is STILL going to develop and support their software as they ALWAYS have! Impulse, Inc. which (from my understanding) is the distribution end to Stardock is what Gamestop has acquired. What this means is NOTHING for us gamers is really changing other than the owner of the Impulse Driven platform that downloads our software to us. SINS and Elemental will still b
Paypal does allow for a setup of an 'online credit card' number to use for online purchases. It should work for this purpose also as it is just like a credit card/debit master card without an actual card and can only be used online.
[quote who="Kaesemuffin" reply="16" id="2898799"]I can't believe it guys. You really want to tease me again! You still need a credit card to PreOrder. How often we non-credit cards owner have asked you to let us pre-order (buy) with PayPal or (enter other money transfer service here). Do I really have to pass on that beta stage of yours again, because I can't pre-order? Oh boy, come on - don't get me wrong, I know the stuff
[quote who="Nacey" reply="4596" id="2914920"]I did know about the mesh files being broken in B2 I sadly missed removing them before releasing B2 to the public and didnt suffer from that issue myself so it didnt get picked up, I only realised afterwards when thinking back "I removed the textures so why bother with the custom meshs?" hence their deletion (its fixed in my local copy which im currently referring to as B3 but it may just turn out to be 1.0 depending on how things go!)

[quote who="ReadyMan" reply="4432" id="2908662"]So is the distant suns mod working for the 1.2 patch? I waded thru the current pages, but am confused with the posts about DS being worked on and whether it's playable or not.... With all the new additions, what does this mod add to the current Diplomacy version that makes it more interesting/fun? Thanks![/quote] Works QUITE well a
Whoa... I came across a pirate colonized Gas Giant guarded by 26 cap ships and i didn't bother to look at the number of escorts.... Granted at this point (a new game) i had maxed my military and defense techs and had a large enough experienced fleet to go in and fight them... took about 2/3 of the fleet and all my caps survived but the battle... OH the battle was GLORIOUS! Turned the HUD off and had fun clicking from ship to ship and just followed it through the c
[quote who="Stant123" reply="4410" id="2906930"] Also, should the pirates be THIS strong on their third raid? I mean, come on! 54 cutthroats, 44 corsairs, 20 reapers, 11 rogues, 17 pillagers, and 1 battleship! they wiped my planet clean in under 30 seconds and took 1/3 of my fleet with them! I was begging for the Vaseline as I told my fleet to retreat! Definitely a bounty raid. When the pirates are set loose on the timer, a computer player u
Is this the problem that people have been mentioning about the polar caps? Also, should the pirates be THIS strong on their third raid? [e digicons]:omg:[/e] <img style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/ac70/falcongrey/Sins/pirateoverkill.jpg" alt=""
