[quote who="Whippersnapper-DirtySanchez" reply="13" id="2381158"] I was in a game last night where a guy minidumped. At the end of the game I looked at the stats and saw that his AI had built a whopping 39 (or some ridiculous number) of Refineries! The AI apparently had no understanding of how refineries work and they did little to increase its metal and crystal production.

I'd say every point you made is true. Preaching to the choir. I DO like how annoying the AI makes the SF though by sending them to the gravity well you jumped from.

Hmmm. I own my copy of sins of course. I own Entrenchment. I played my last full game of Entrenchment back in April 2009. (best game I had against 4 hard AI) I played my last full Vanilla game probably in May 2009. (Heavy focus on LRF with small LF clean up fleets) Yikes!!! I've really been out of the ring for awhile! Too much testing!

Fiddling with the variables is a fun. Remove the minus in InCombatFighterBuildRatePenalty -1.0 and change it to InCombatFighterBuildRatePenalty 1.0 and instead of a 50% build rate penalty you will get a 200% build rate bonus! [e digicons]:D[/e]

The uniqueness of carrier kidna made it that you couldnt go 100% carrier. Most sucessful fleets would be 50% carrier 50% something else: This else would be LFs, LRFs, HC, or even Flak.

Lifted from the Wiki page about Illuminators (and having checked the change logs it looks accurate.) "The Illuminator had several issues fixed in Patch 1.04. Namely, it was found it had accidentally been given the "Capital Ship"-class damage. It was restored to its "Anti-Medium" attack in the patch. Its hull points were increased from 520 to 620, and its shield points were increased from 450 to 550. Its fro

I was finally able to put together some mods to test the idea of changing around the damage each beam does. I'm not saying the damage percentages should be changed. But I think the test does show moving more damage to the front beam would make illuminators more powerful. Maybe the name should be changed from Illuminators to Eliminators.[e digicons]:P[/e] I made a game save in Entrenchment that would jump 16 Illuminators into the middle of 16 Assailants. In all three tests all the

No. I was not aware of the entity.manifest. I just looked in the Entrenchment folder and see the 6 manifest lists now. I've discovered several mistakes I've made thanks to the help I've received here. One was I made an incomplete binary to text conversion of the Entrenchment GameInfo folder. That mistake convereted only 85 entity files. This leads to the second mistake which was since the FrigatePsiLongRange.entity files did not get converted I was using the FrigatePsiLongRange.entity

I' ve made a bit of progress. I can copy all Sins 1.17 GameInfo files into my mod and then copy my edited FrigatePsiLongRange.entity into it and it will activate and I can start a game. I have not tested it enough to see if the changes I made actually activated, but it's a start. I still have not been successful with Entrenchment. I tried to copy Sins GameInfo then copy Entrenchment GameInfo and overwrite but that just crashes when activated. If I can come up with a list of essential

Those are good ideas. If a player does not have a homeworld or has no way to create one then it should be Game Over for them. If they still have a fleet and teammates and just want to be a PITA fine, but they should be considered done as far as winning.

Yargg! Modding is taking me back to the days of trying to write code for Fortran 77. (Hey don't age me. That language was OLD when I was doing it. Hey teacher can we use Pascal? No? Makes too much sense?) So I made a mod with a single file in the GameInfo folder. The file is Gameplay.constants. I can edit it to my hearts content making any changes I want and it will work beautifully. So now I just want to use a single file to test Illuminators. I have a mod
