Radu1: Mmmm, looking at the module specs, you can't. It's more of a game balancing thing, besides being hard coded it looks like. I think structures are too cheap tbh... Shipyards and the like are rare in SW. In Sins the goal was to wipe the other guy out. In SOGE it is to conquer them.

davidt0504: It's not the SOGE team. I'm waiting on the Distant Stars team. I sent two PMs to them, just to be sure..., so now I wait....

ah well good luck with that, cause after playing distant stars maps, its just so hard to play on a star wars map and coruscant not be a city world; manaan not be an ocean world, or endor not be a forest moon.

now i realize that it would have been weird if the structures were to be capturable...in the original Sins i mean, with the original races...if you, as the TEC, would capture , let's say, a Vasari Capital Ship Factory, from wich you could build TEC ships.....TEC ships from Vasari factory....however, it would'n be that weird if the races had the same structures (like in SW)...or if you play against the same race with same structures...

@novacameron I shot a post on the distant stars topic and they said to get permission from the creator of sins plus and the mod for the stars too.  If you go to their topic they linked the creators of the mod.

Ah thanks I'll try to get to that soon then. People read posts more then... If not I'll make my own planets.  Which I just might anyway since I looked at the planet textures by Uzii and was disappointed. They are actually simple... and I thought it would be hard to remake them. But I'll need the meshes from TohKlidan for the different size planets. And I'll take a look at the star textures to see if I want to use them... And I'll probibly throw out the planet bonuses... Sorry -UE-_Carbon. Not Star Wars-y enough.

karma for even the chance that I'll have good star wars planets

OMG my new city texture looks awesome... and way too shiny.... but then again the planet is covered in metal so... some shinyness is in order.

Edit: City planet is complete. Well I need to get rid of some tiling that exists but I do say it looks awesome... I'll release it soon! Then on to more planets! Note: at this rate it's about a planet an hour. And i need to compress the texture... 21MB.

so when you release this will it be a seperate mod that will work with sins of a galactic empire? or will it be a "new" version of soge that simple has these planets?

Well SOGE doesn't touch the planets at all. So the mod could work without SOGE. But this is to be part of my larger makeover for SOGE. Well here's my City planet... Night:

Certainly would like to integrate it in the mod if Eville Jedi likes it and NovaCameron allows it

only suggestion I'd make on the city planet is to give the city lights more of the lined look like in the movies

but it looks awesome still

Oh it's very lined and bright... Actually in the movies it's too dark for a planet that never gets dark. Remember about one TRILLION beings live on Coruscant at it's hight. In the movies, or your pic, it looks like... say, 100 billion, one tenth of what actually lived there. And the whole planet is metal so it's going to reflect ALOT of light. But you are reflecting it into space so... I dunno, I'll play with it.

so hows it coming

will the bonuses from distant stars be available in this?  I wouldn't want this to delay you from releasing just the planets but maybe you could even do custom planetary bonuses?  I think there are already some in sins of a galactic empire? or maybe that was requiem.

I probably won't get a chance to work on soge until june (and that might be questionable if work steps in) but I am looking forward to what novacameron puts together. If it is available when I get back into the modding groove I will definately integrate it (especially if the new planets have different modifiers and are in a SW map, either galactic or sectors would be great)

No, I'm going to scrap all the current modifiers, well I might see if I keep some, and make new ones. And yes they will definately be in the map i'm making. 70% done. Deep Core, Core, Colonies, Inner Rim and Expansion Region are done. 571 planets total I think in those. Need to finish up the Mid Rim (40% done, about 80 planets to go.) and the Outer Rim. (about 200-250 planets....) I actually plan to rework the tech tree in the future. And create different maps from the base 'Star Wars Galaxy Map'. There will be a fraking ton of new planet types.... like 30+.... I'm not joking.

So basically I'm overhauling the game for my maps... lol And here is the post in the SOGE forums about the planet types that are planned. Please comment and add or subtract.

It's split into each planet type I have so far with a short discription of them.

Terran Type Planets (easy planets):
