C9979 frigate for CIS and MC80 cruiser for Alliance as well.  Nubbly modder doesn't know his own creations...

Err, what is the checksum supposed to be?

Enabling the mod then applying changes gives me a minidump.

Crap.

If you had other mods loaded, I would try removing them and applying changes first.  Then add SOGE and apply changes again.

Does anybody plays the Mod online ??? Looking for players... tired of fighting the AI !

EDIT: On the other hand: Will there be an improvment on the Research tree for all fractions ? So that there are more uniqe ?

More planet models ? Dynamic Movment for frigates, crusiers and caps ?

And one word to the starbase case: there are actually ingame ---- Golam III --- make them upgradable and everthing is fine !!!

Enough of my questions, last thing i have to say is that your mod runs great. No Minidumps or CTD ever !!! I´ve tested a lot  Mods for Sins and SOGE is the onlyone without any probs. Thanks for this great mod...

Sorry for my lack of english.

research: probably

planet models: maybe, I've had issues in the past, but I'd like to do them

dynamic movement: NO it really works like crap, I'd like to but it just causes a mess, maybe some of the really small frigates, but we have next to no control over the vessels behavior (can't make them circle a target, can't set the breakoff time/distance for a dive, etc) so unless IC gives us parameters to control it this won't happen

Golems are really cool. The only reason I was asking about star bases is because I have a lot of neutral gravity wells in the games I play so it can be really hard to defend them without star bases. It's also difficult to create good trade routes. I hope there are a few star bases for each faction. At least two, a smaller star base that can be set up cheaply and quickly early on in the game, and then special projects that require a lot of research, resources and time (ie. Death Stars).

Oh, to the mod crew. I notice that the venators and other ships that get a speed burst tend to go all over the map because they're acceleration and max speed are increased but their deceleration remains the same so they tend to go way off course, often missing hyper jumps. Is this by design? If not, couldn't you have it so the ability affects both acceleration and deceleration?

I'm not sure if balance is even anywhere near ready to be worked on yet, but I do find that Imperial SD's are over powered. I haven't played with MC's yet but they seem underpowered. They have huge shield banks but seem to die really fast. I was surprised.

Little tid bit. I really didn't even notice that the models are all so small. The original SOGE had such huge models but these new ones have been scaled WAY down but still look amazingly good. In the middle of games I'll often stop and just look at the ships. They are so much more appealing than the original sins. They seem so much larger because of the neat little window effects and stuff. Great work on that.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers

The empire definitely takes the cake on dishing out damage with star destroyers, but they have zip for regeneration.  It's probably just the tard AI failing miserably to utilize antimatter in a proper fashion, the level 1 version of their backup shields can restore 6k shields.  The capital ships can pump out 15k shield restores with the level 3 ability.  I noticed they almost always run themselves out of antimatter before using it though.

Do make note of any ability issues though, I'm not getting much help with it...

Hi again,

perhaps the size of the Golam could be rised, so that they look like starbases. There to small in this version. The idea with 2 different starbase version is good, perhaps eville give it a chance ???

Imperial SD are good at dishing out, but against an MC80 Star Cruiser with Shield Restore ( base verison with 300 points / sec ) in 1 vs 1 the ISD has no chance.... it may look different with support ships but alone the ISD will lost.

One word at the caps, the Imperial Todpedo Sphere is in my eyes useless... and should be downgraded to cruisers or be deleted. When i attack a planet there are enough ships to bomb the planet apart.

And the Executor Class is much to cheap !!!! This ship is the most powerful weapon in this game, no race has something that could take a 1 vs 1. Even the Gen. Dreadnougt with its superlaser sucks against an SSD. So the price should be raised --- more than 20.000 creds, around 18.000 metal and 20.000 crystal.

If a player has more than one of these monsters there is almost no chance of stopping him / her...

Thanks and apo for my english

Teradoc

Or you could balance it in a different respect, make it so the SSD is the only super capital that requires 8 stations, the geonosian maybe 7, while the alliance ones are both at 6 maybe?

I've been playing as the Alliance. I'm not sure about one on one with the SD's, but in a group my MC's consistently get their butts whooped. Even against the Republic. It could just be I'm more outnumbered than I thought.

Also, are smaller frigates useless? It seems like I should only build the top three cruisers. Everything else just gets obliterated.

EDIT: I forgot to mention. On locked teams steam rolling the AI was pretty easy. On unlocked teams they seem to be insanely aggressive. Weird, but totally rad.

I think the same. The only time i use frigates is for scouting at startup. In mid or late there are useless. The problem is there are no real difference between these ships and all races. hull points from 1xx to max 3xx and just 1000 shield points. there are cannon fodder. perhaps a total frigate rebalance could help. My build order looks like yours...

( Empire : ISD I, ISD II, Dreadnought + Caps --- the Escort Carrier have just not enough fighter squads for real use and use to much fleet points --- Alliance: up from MC40 - because of abilities and shielding - to Caps --- CIS: up from Bulwark MK I to Caps [they are good balanced] --- Old Republic: i dont like them at all, dont know exactly why. The Venendator are to eratic ( with boost on )  ------- Perhaps eville coult put the militia forces from HW2 Warlords in a later version in ???

What would the militia forces do except get destroyed?

Given the limits of races in Sins, I expect Eville is going to use those slots for New Republic and Yuuzhan Vong factions

Nevermind, i fixed the problem. Redownload worked.

The darn CIS destroyed my Tector class. So i used two SSDs on their home planet. Ha.

psychoak, I noticed that the "It's a Trap!" ability is usable even when fleet capacity is at 0. It deducts the resources but delivers no ships.

Many of the frigates, I have zero use for.  Some of them are pretty nice though.  The ones with anti-fighter weaponry are life savers against CIS, and the cheap debuffers can put out a lot of hurt.  They also soak up damage from those really nasty multi-target abilities.  Some of them are severely painful when they're just hitting heavy cruisers and capital ships.

The release version of the torp sphere is buggered due to an untimely revert.  The real deal blows away everything but 6k infrastructure planets.  Being able to do this right off the bat interrupts all reinforcing capabilities at the well, no more shipyard production, no rebuilding lost defensive structures.  You can also wipe out a heavily fortified planet without taking massive casualties.  The AI may not be bright enough to turtle up nicely, but if you were playing against someone like me, it would be a godsend.  Being in firing range of a few thousand dps when you try to bomb is a serious damper.  Losing a maxed out planet to a fleet that would never have survived long enough without one is really irritating.

Eh?  The Dreadnought is half the cost, and half the fleet points, it's sorta expected that the Executor will mop the floor with one.  That it kills them 2 vs 1 without even losing shields would be a more valid complaint though.  Disable it, there's tons of nerfing ability in the game.  An Executor is a 150 fleetpoint brick if you ion nuke it into next year.  The Geonosian dreadnought should be supported by a bunch of buzz droid whoring bombers nuking the shit out of it.  Two dreadnoughts take twice as much to disable.

Tell me about it...  Sorry, no way to fix this.  The Vasari fleet spawn it's based on has the same irritating problem.
