I like the idea of a mini Dyson Sphere or otherwise artificial world. There is the new relic world, but I'm not sure what that is supposed to be. Huge spaceports would be just as well too I think.

Another one I think would be neat is the original Discworld by Terry Pratchett--not from the fantasy spoof series, but the one from "Strata". It's a replica of Earth but flat with machines that regulate everything and pump the water back up from the spilling oceans. It would need modeling and texturing obviously.

Comment on the broken world model--it's interesting, but not very realistic. The oceans and atmosphere wouldn't just sit pretty on the non-broken side of things.

Ok, I think some people have missed a lot of what has been said before. So this will also go on the First Post. I cannot model. I don't have the programs to, nor the time to at the moment. It is something I will get into, and as mentioned somewhere before, a Ring World will probably be the first thing I try, as it should be pretty easy to do. Now, responses:

@ SliderFury
I haven't seen any official time peroid until its done, so I will release 1.3 regardless, and update when 1.04 is released.

@ bandw2
First, thank you for the quad-post, there is an edit button you know . Now;
Some of your ideas have been brought up before, and are not in Sins Plus yet for various reasons. But I can answer most of you ideas with 3 points:
1. As mentioned, modeling is out of the question, unless you can model, or know someone who can model, and is willing to do work for me, for free.
2. New planets will be fewer in new releases of Sins Plus. They must be distinct and not 'just another planet'. Skins I will do, but I'm not going to pop out another 5 planets which are just slightly different from the ones present now (the Gas Giants you mentioned comes to mind).
3. I mentioned not long ago, last page I believe, that Stars have taken a back seat in this mod and will not be making a large appearance until I have all the planets up to the level I am happy with.

@ Jordanb716 & Jack Iris
The Relic world in 1.3 is not hugely dissimilar in stats to other worlds, but, its ability could make it well worth having, especially on the frontline.

I think to make an Artificial world, some degree of modeling would have to be done, so it isn't a perfect sphere and has little clinks in it, etc.

The Discworld sounds interesting, if I do get into modeling, and would definitely be one I would strongly consider. Also, it would be a nice way to portray an Artificial world, rather than a what I said above.

@ Colion
Answered in first bit.

Thank you all for the input, some good, and some not so good ideas there, greatly appreciated.

Excuse me? Ring worlds are in many games, not just Halo. It was popularised by Halo, but not invented by it. And realistic? This is a Sci-Fi game, there is not a lot more I can say...

My literation is pretty poor, POS what? Could you elaborate.

If you have everything where it should be, then you shouldn't have any problems. Post screens of anything you think is remotely important please.

I haven't "modified" any research files. I have also included a list of all the files I have changed so merging would be easier. You basically need to start with mine as a base, then move everything over from the Real Capital ships mod onto mine. Do this be selecting all the files and moving them into the relevant Sins Plus sub folder. Now, click replace on all the files except the files I have listed. Once you have done this, you will be left with the files that I and he have changed. These are the ones you need to merge manually, but once again, preferably starting with my files as a base, then putting his changes on top. I use 'Compare It!' for things like this.

Edit: Yeh, sounds good. Just use the Changed File List include with the .7z and you should find the whole process slightly easier.

Oh, should have said that to begin with. You will have to, if they use the same file.

With that program you might be able to do it with no modding knowledge but it is unlikely. Best thing I can suggest, is get the modding tutorial and have a play around, see how all the files work and how they are laid out. Good luck.

Hey Uzii I really enjoy your Mod..I was the one who e-mailed you about the runing problem with your first Mod...anyway

I have been reading a little on this post. So I know I ahve heard of "drawf gas gaint" or something. And i have heard of people wanting to colonize a saturn type planet and such. well.

I think...if it is not too much trouble. that you or people taht are helping you work two other textures that give gas gaints a saturn type look...with very large rings.

also. Neptune and Uranus are smaller than the "inner" gas gaints. they are also composed of more ice and super cool gases than the other gas planets.

"Uranus and Neptune have internal and atmospheric compositions different from those of the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. As such, astronomers sometimes place them in a separate category, the "ice giants". Uranus' atmosphere, while similar to Jupiter and Saturn in being composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, contains a higher proportion of "ices" such as water, ammonia and methane, along with the usual traces of hydrocarbons. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System, with a minimum temperature of 49 K (−224 °C). It has a complex, layered cloud structure, with water thought to make up the lowest clouds, and methane thought to make up the uppermost layer of clouds." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranus)

so maybe an idea would be to make the "ice gaint" type planet. and you could do as your wish to it..but it would be a "gas gaint" type..so same research but with different atributes. I am not sure what though. and the textures could look blueish like neptune and uranus. I knwo the ocean planet may be similar to this in the idea..becuz of ice/ocean with high crystal yeilds. maybe you could make them like gas gaints..but with less resources and develpolment. so..a "dwarf gas gaint"

I enjoy your mod..and I hope you consider my idea : )
but I will not be offended if you shot it down..lol. I knwo your busy and have your own work to do..haha

keep up the great work!

Thanks again Uzii, can't wait for 1.3

Hey, I just downloaded the mod and it looks great. Problem is, I don't have a Application Data folder under my documents and settings...is that because I installed Sins on my D drive or what? I tried to find a search for a Sins Mods folder as well and couldn't find it. Any suggestions?

You the man Uzii.

Is anyone else seeing a glitch on the map load screen? It'll be in the wrong resolution, and show overlapping images.

I have been playin 1.2 for a while now and love the mod, adds a lot of depth, but recently finishing(actually I dropped) a 7 player random match, the graveyards are completely broken.COMPLETELY. When someone can spawn right next to a graveyard with several battleships at the beginning of the game, they will win easily. And spawning between two guys who has one and two shipyards next to them equals a instant loss. Make it so you have to disable or maybe even research the ships to use them, like a Tier 7 upgrade to be able to get the battleships. I'm sorry, but due to the shipyards, I'm reverting back to 1.2. Cool idea, and even cooler if you spawn next to one, but poorly executed.
