I got the 170 number from a pretty low violence situation.  It was the end of a game and I was just stamping out the opposition at the save point I used to test it, so it might not have been as demanding as a real battle.  I really have no idea what the numbers were in a real battle when I got a minidump, since I don't have any save games with powerful enough enemies to test it.

To further develop my theory, I think that the biggest reason for minidumps is your squadrons taking damage.  You could manage 155 squadrons that aren't taking damage and be fine, but 55 who are may overtax the game.

Why is it different in this mod though? I've had well over 55 squads in a battle in vanilla sins and that's just my fleet.

Maybe the ships, effects, etc. in the mod are more demanding than those the vanilla game?

So nobody knows why it wont work for me? 

Sorry, I got caught up in the minidump discussion with Tkins.  This is the link that worked for me.

Damn nothings changed. I wonder what the problem is all other downloads work fine.

Dont know if this has been brought up or not but i cant claim asteriods since i dont have colony ships...

EDIT:

I have made some changes here and there now all the new races can claim asteriods with their respective colony ships or whatever ships i could find. If you want these changes I can send them to ya...

I dont know where the team is with balancing the ships but I have been toying with the ships and prices as well. I love the selection of ships so plenty of balancing and figuring to do!

Not sure if anyone's noticed this but, it appears that the Acc II does not have a set weapons range, at least...one doesn't show up when I hit Alt. However, it does seem to have the ability to simply sit anywhere in a given gravity well and fire at anything else in the gravity well, no matter the range. Now, I'm a big fan of sniping myself, but should the Acc II be able to do that?

Awesome. I'm downloading it right now.

Samurye.

hmmm what's even stranger with the minidumps is that only the squadron files are custom , the fighters themselves are using the stock sins fighters, so they themselves shouldn't be the issue (unless there is a problem in the squad files)

I really can't do anything useful with the minidumps, until IC decides to make a minidump tool or something to explain them, they are pretty useless.

Been playing a couple SOGE games with my brother. A few issues:

Please rebalance the ships. Alliance is way too OP.

Please refigure ship supply usage, If most people get lagged up in vannillia sins, what makes you think there computers will perform any better with a mod that allows 10x the ships?

The Acc II does not have a range limit. The computer player sends 5 of these ships and they can wipe out my colony and jump out before my fleet can even travel to them from the other side of the planet. And why does the Acc II get strike craft but not Acc I?

Some capital ships are insane, and some are weak. Shouldn't 3 SD destroy a Mon remonda class? I realize that some here will argue that the Mon remonda was a strong ship in the SW universe, but please for the sole reason of game play fix these issues.

My main issues are the increased ship count causes the lag to get insane, I have a very nice PC, overclocked and crossfired, but this game only runs on one core so it will play the same if you have a pentium 4 or a quadcore, keep this in mind because I dont want to play the game at 2 fps.

Balance Balance Balance and o, why not just wait for a full release of the complete mod instead of piecemeal, its great work, dont ruin it by giving the public an incomplete mod. If I can wait for the full release, so can the rest of these kids.

Thanks EvilJedi, don't feel pressured by a bunch of little kids, just keep at it, and give us a release when its ready.

I appreciate this mod and the time you spend here, why not open a paypal donations box on your web site, someone might be generous. . . . .

Drunkdriver:

please report this in the bug tracker in detail, saying the alliance is overpowered but not citing specific examples is worthless to me. If you mention that for example the MC30c is broken, that is a good example, but beyond that I have no idea what overpowered means in this context. Please make your bug reports concise as blanket statements will be ignored.

I can increase the supply cost of frigates and cruisers, the capital ships are already almost unbuildable without research except for the ones that are really just glorified cruisers (venator) many of the small ships have a supply cost of 1 right now and those can be spammed pretty easily.

the acc II range is note, also if the supply cost is increased the AI won't be able to make as many as quickly

the acc I has no external hanger, I mean it could launch fighters, but the Acc II has an open space hanger (because it eliminates a lot of the plantary landing stuff.) I just haven't put the model in yet.

the mon remonda stats are exactly 4x the shield and hull of an ISD II and 2x the firepower (so 3/4 vs 2/3, 3/4ths should win). the shield regen rates are the same, so the only difference would be the abilities which if you read the OP are very basic right now. IMO 3Sd's should destroy a remonda especially if they are using their alpha strike ability and the remonda is only occasionally using its shield regen (I can look at anti matter and time cooldown rates, the shield buff seems to easy to use).

for the disparity inside the same class blame Iron clad for having only 3 'classes' and tight limits around those classes at that.

I don't have such extreme lag problems and I don't have anything fancy for a computer (it's at least 2 years old now, no OC and a lowly single video card that is 3 generations old), but increasing the supply cost of small ships should eliminate most of the issues as stated above

I can't. not with the schedule I keep, I would just shut down the mod completely if that was even a consideration.

I'd suggest you donate to SWR.com to help pay for bandwidth costs and hosting, I personally cannot take any donations

on the contary no group should have to go this alone if there are bug hunters that want to test this and play around with the models and the freebies they give us in a .75 mod then I will take it and give the my effort as a star wars fan to make their mod better....

Their bug hunter tool is top notch i like it... I am using it... and most of everything you have mentioned is being or prolly has been sorted for their next release. These guys have put alot of work into this and I really like the chance to say thanks and play/help them with this mod as best and as fast I can!

Great job guys!

a couple of ship list additions that should round out the fleets a bit

the republic will get the class II frigate as a carrier (cruiser) and the nexu heavy transport as a planetary assualt vehicle and utility (cruiser)

the CIS will get a variant of the CC-9979 lander as a seperate landing (frigate) as well as a trade federation patrol frigate.(heavy frigate)

I will be releasing a small patch in about 2 weeks, so get your bug reports in so I can fix as many things as possible!

Man, the radial missile spam is powerful...

Good thing too, I'd lose every match without em against hard AI.

I haven't run into the minidump.  I've been running battles with fewer strike craft than they've mentioned, but I've definitely been using a lot of strike craft, particularly as the Empire with that four squad carrier.  I've had upwards of 100 squads in a well on a regular basis, and I just got through with a three prong attack with an ally AI, there had to be at least 500 squads between them.  It might be a computer specific glitch.
