I am sorry that I didn't get my point across earlier, and for the lack of civility, I haven't slept in 2 days, my mind slipping a little, as well as my manners..

I felt that Empire at War was a weak game myself, it was about as shallow as a tablespoon. Poor land combat, no diplomacy, few hero units, but you know what? It is all us Star Wars fans have for a 4x SW game. Don't say Rebellion, Rebellion was a decent game but...it just doesn't hold up anymore and the combat was weak. The best things to come out of EAW were good visuals that made combat interesting, and very balanced units (though I hated the arty missile ships). This mod is honestly my last hope for a truly good Star Wars 4x experience. I keep bringing EAW up because it is the closest reference point I have here.

I am sure this mod will be great when it comes out, as long as you don't choose to sacrifice gameplay for cool units. It also helps that Sins does not feature land combat, thankfully, because ground combat in Star Wars is hardly as interesting as space combat, mostly due to a lack of fleshed out units.

I wish you good luck. Finish this mod. I have see too many promising mods, too many that were better than the actual game they were modding, go down the tubes because a mod team fell apart. I hope you can jump the aforementioned hurdles and get fighters working and combat visually interesting.

Another thing, with the broken interdictors...if you can't fix them you can see if you can simply make their special ability drop a jump inhibitor when you use it. It wouldn't be accurate, but it would probably work.

EDIT: I saw this 2 minutes after my post. https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=36&libid=71

Thanks for the info Burntstrobe, but I feel like I squeezed EAW and FOC for all they were worth. When I was finished with downloading mods and then extensively tweaking them, my game had practically every Star Wars unit available, even the Yuuzhan Vong (who got pasted by the Alliance somehow even though I had trouble taking out their friggin fighters). Every unit scaled. Every weapon adjusted. Shields and armor adjusted. Whof. But the AI sucks, seriously. After defending Kuat with half the number of ships the enemy had, and seeing about a dozen Mon Cal battlecruisers torn to pieces one by one, I sort of gave up. Even on hard, the AI was so weak I grew bored.
Was fun while it lasted though.

Tool

lol thats me! Corse Pellaeon is an awesome old fart!

Speaking of things not working, idk if you read this Eville but in the next release you either need to make the KDY platform have antimatter or just shoot things (it has ion bolt but no antimatter to use it! o noes!). I put it in my unofficial to do list, but you didn't really respond to that so just reminding you again.

And Parrot I have talked to Kryo awhile ago about ban-able offenses and flaming is one, so just be careful.

I love me some Ozzel till he got force wrecked


WHERE IS Z3R0X WHEN YOU NEED HIM... imagine a z3r0x and evillejedi mod ooooh.

and to parrot i do agree with you on somethings, but mods are here to expand, break the mundane of original game, not to make a new game in its place. Mods are for fun.

LOL! No awhile back (before sins was release, this was still during the beta) some guy was insulting everyone on the forum (someone's cat died and he said he was glad that the cat died) so I asked Kryo if that was ban-able and he said no, but he said me flaming him is

Duh - the whole point is that is that the mod is based on a game that has the AIM of not being rock/paper/scissors based - hence requiring strategy.

BTW, I hope ParrotPatrol doesn't use that as his MP persona - he is gonna get no end of beat downs from people he plays with online otherwise

halo much better that star wars gimme a halo mod already , k?

Ugh... z3r0x had some... issues. Nebulon B frigates were about half the power of their upgraded version that you got access to at the same time, and paid almost the same price for.

He added stuff in, but it didn't even look like balance was a consideration. You either used the added units, and only the added units, or you got smoked like a cheap cigar with your half as many hard points standard units.

He's also personally quite the dick. While the entire EaW modding community wasn't exactly the cream of the crop, he was one of the main contributors towards that mentality.

Yes he is... I never could get his mod to work, either. And he never tried to help anyone with problems, lol. I'm still looking for a good EaW mod to download. I like to dust it off every now and then and play a few skirmishes.

Maybe I like just because it was better than Force Commander...

I'm not sure but I think that cruisers- like dreadnought or Loronar- are very weak comparing to ISD - the can survive one or two ISD salvos max. I think that in Homeworld 2 mod they could stand bit more (4 or 5 salvos).

I think that ISD are too powerful (and they bomb planets too fast too). I'm afraid to imagine what will be then you include Allegiance, Tyran or Executor.

you're right about that one EJ.
