Good to hear this mod is still rollin' (no thanx to my black sheep @ss).

In the fine summer months of nothing-the-#$*&-coming out worth playing, I'm feelin' like I can help out some more.  If anybody on the mod has some work for a code monkey, shoot it my way and I'll take a look.  Haven't had much of a real challenge since I resurrected the mod from the overwrite-grave 6 months ago after someone (who shall remain anonymous) tried to overwrite it with a bum version all over the shared directory... or I was just lucky to have a solid backup from a few hours earlier.

Either way, I have to apologize for offering some services and disappearing.  I'd like to quote Major and say "RL trumps," but it's more like I'm just lazy.  Josh, Geoff, you have my address if you need it.

Cheerio!

If I were smarter, it wouldn't have been such an unholy bitch to manage, but it's a nice, nasty little surprise now.  Unfortunately, "chance" isn't something that can be done with anything that couldn't just be turned off by the player, so having it reside on the Cardassian ships directly wasn't an option.  I pulled off an entirely impossible to exploit method of pissing off Dominion players once I thought my way around in circles long enough...

Being smart enough to think my way around the limitations in the ability system is a frequent issue...

The thing is no one really knows what effect it will have until it is tried. Thats what modding is all about.. trial and error.

Hey, the answer thing is back!!!  I haven't been able to reply for days.

OK, whoever asked about adding the Distant Stars worlds, I've been working on my own version of that, and so far it's only kinda working.  Distant Stars is a very involved mod, with not just new worlds, but also lots of new planetary bonuses and abilities.  So far I've been able to add the solar system planets and have it playable, but I'm still having mini-dumps trying to exit the game, and I haven't been able to pin down the glitch yet.

When the next version of this SoA2 is released I'll try it again with a clean copy... but no promises. If I can get a version to work I'll contact the Mod team first thing.  But like I said, DS and SoA2 are both big, very involved MODs. Getting a working combination of both might not be as easy as it first appears.

agreed stress

The next update is going to bring about a lot of changes to abilties, a few new planet types, as well as a model or two.

big things are coming and yes we are always in need of quality people. by all means contact me

thanks jtaylorpcs

thats awesome though, i don't know much about modding but if all you do is add in the planet models for even just the basic 8 (or 9) main planets for the solar system that would be awesome, like forget about all the bonuses, but I don't know if thats possible.  Still looks great guys and sounds like its only going to get better.

When's the next update gunna be out mate?

I finally got Entrenchment over the weekend and downloaded the latest version of the mod. Played a bit as the Federation, and am trying out the Borg now. 

Anyways I'm loving the new ships and the way they move, and I can see why you guys are going to decrease the size of the ships - they are kind of big for the grav well.

Anyways, the Klingons attacked a fully upgraded unicomplex of mine with a massive fleet. I was worried, so I gathered a fleet of 3 Tactical Cubes and some Spheres to back it up which were 3 jumps away. Turns out I didn't need them at all - the Klingons were annihilated. I was shocked.  

One thing I noticed as the Borg is that the 'Intimidation' ability is sort of quiet compared to the phasers and stuff. It just feels underwhelming to me to have "We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships" to be drowned out by phaser blasts. Perhaps it could be made louder compared to other sound effects?

Finally, which is better - the Assimilator Cube or the tactical Cube? To me, for the amount of resources needed the Tactical Cube seems to give a better bang for its buck, though I could very easily be wrong.

The assimilator cube I think is tougher, but the Tactical cube can siege planets.  I pair them up when moving them around, because I like having a tac cube around if my planet assimilator's get too far behind.

Anyone else having trouble seeing the last 4 replies on the previous page (not to mention the fact that there's not a reply box either)?  Did the bottom of the page get chopped off from too much space taken up by replies?

harpo

I lost it for a few days too, but now I can reply again...

I blame the Gremlins    

How do I install the astroid bug patch?

They have asteroids with bugs on them? Is this Star Ship Troopers? 

Open the archive. You will see a GameInfo folder. Open your mod and you will see a GameInfo folder. Open both of these and drag the couple files into the mods GameInfo folder, choose yes to overwrite.

Thanks. By the way, can we please get some better lighting on things like Borg ships? They look like they're in permanent silhouette mode

how come when i open the dl page i get a strange file that is tiny and not your mod? it does the same thing with Stargate races mod, but no on other sites

I just tried the DL link for ENT and the aDrive works great, fast too. What link are you trying with what browser?

i think a virus may be trying to get onto my comp idk my computer is retarded

The file is in .RAR format. You need to install winRAR or the like in order to handle the download. You can use the trial version of winRAR for free.

and ROFL

thats good i wouldn't  even thought  that he don't know rar  and that he mean that by tiny file

how could anybody life in the Internet and don't know rar i mean half the files on the internet are rar files

Everyone starts somewhere. We are not born with the knowledge of a RAR file but maybe in the Federation they are.

The problem with the Borg sound files - how did you fix it, as I'm hitting a similar problem with the soundclips I'm using for my own mod.

If all the guy is doing is going on forums, watching youtube and playing games then he doesn't need to download .RAR files. Once upon a time I didn't know anything about them, and I bet you didn't either.

i knew it since the normal guys can use the internet (and afford it) one of the first things i learned was how to use zips and rars

but back than the files were compressed so that everything go on our disk oder zipdisk

he is the 3 third person(who use an pc/mac) ive ever met who doesn't know rars

You *********** i never said i dont know what .rar is read b4 u make fun of someone. your the only guy i ever seen see words that arent there.

Now is there another website i can get this mod from because adrive dont work for me but other sites do.

okay never mind about another site i found the moddb page for it and its dl now thanks for a great mod guys
