[quote]Various ships and whatnot from Dawn of Victory. [/quote] Thanks for posting these. This mod looks really good and I'm looking forward to playing this when it's completed. I really like the ideas you are implementing to change the gameplay such as the damage modifiers being more realistic (assuming thats still applicable).

[quote] I'll just go with these 3 for now. This is a near complete model without any turret points... and I'm noticing something that I'm getting better at the models that I'm doing, So far this is the most complicated design I've done and I do have to say I'm very happy with the way it's turning out [/quote] Very nice! I really like this design.

Reply to Community Balance Mod - Capships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I like the idea of nerfing LRF's and other cap ship counters somewhat. LF's already do a good job at killing a capital ship and they do 50% damage (they just die quick to LRF's). It seems LRF's could have the same damage modifier as LF's and still get the job done from a distance. Here are my ideas for tweaking capital ships to fit their roles. Increase target counts per bank for capital battleship and capital siege. I know original Sins didn't have target counts per bank, how

[quote]Are you going to use the Blue one?[/quote] No, not personally. Although after looking over the Green Arcadia model I see some simple improvements to my Blue Arcadia model I should make (choice of primitives and some detailing I can do). I'm off the rest of the week and may take a stab and them and see what you think. - Edit: I'm not sure if I could texture it worth a darn, but the model is taking better shape (<a href="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/374

[quote]If it is possible, would anyone be able to explain how, because creating a mod (titled 'Portraits') with only a textures folder containing them doesn't seem to work. I've also tried adding the relevant files from the 'Window' into an identical folder within 'Portraits'. Still no luck.[/quote] So your mod named 'Portraits' looked like this? You really shouldn't need a Window directory if the texture file name does not change. Also if you use Gimp this process works just as well

[quote]Hi ZombiesRus5, v1.182 of Maelstrom is about 2 month's old. It was our intention of releasing v1.191 which is almost complete. v1.191 mostly includes re-balancing of the new players both in fire power and also their ability. Their is also an expansion mod for Maelstrom (i.e "Maelstrom Expansion") which will be released soon. It emulates the Starbaseof entrenchment by introducing a Capital Ship called a Dreadnought. Once the Dreadnought has gained sufficient experi

What are you not understanding then? If you aren't adding new factions/races then it's still fairly straight forward and follows similar modding rules as Entrenchment. If you need help with Diplomacy Pacts with new factions/races I can help answer any questions you might have.

Manage Pacts Hardcoded? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

So I have two new races I am modding as add-ons to the game and wanted to move my wip mod over to diplomacy so I could add race specific pacts I have defined. My problem is it appears that alliance types are hard coded to existing pact types only. I can setup my race specific pacts to re-use the existing alliance types which wouldn't be too bad, but... The "Manage Pacts" screen under the diplomacy section is hard coded to show the pact names f

Sorry, I'm at work and can't test anything, but I have a couple of comments/questions. The ability is setup with a 25 AntiMatter cost with an instant action to apply the buff on weapon fired. Is it possible the BuffTransphasicWarhead is finished prior to any onWeaponFiredFired event occuring due the lack of a duration? Does this work when the ability is changed to a passive versus anti-matter for useCostType? If so, maybe it is a timing issue. You mentioned you tried v
