whooo talk about rapid expansion, lol I had to rapidly expand to claim Vulcan before the Klinks got to it... the result though was that I lost Deep space 7 which was guarding the boarder. I forgot to upgrade the defense systems opps

yes upload eta t minus 4 hours and counting

I dont think the wife will see me this weekend.

really? awesome though it pains me to start a new game, but screw that I can't wait

Eh... No.  It wont pain you to start a new game.

lol I was j/k

You have no idea how big a joke you made though.

I'll be sitting in the sins channel on Stardock's IRC server to help the utterly confounded make sense of the more screwball systems once the download is up.  When you're trying to figure out what the hell that retarded ability with grossly insufficient information in the description is actually doing...  Yeah, I wrote that shit.

Wow. That seemed to come from rather out of the blue.

Not sure if my question was answered before, but are there any plans to add the Oberth, Olympic or Cheyenne classes into the mod?

Y

I believe they've said it before and will say it again, the ship line up they have is set in stone and they will not change it. Unless someone says otherwise that is on the mod team

Hmmm I noticed one of the meshes screwed up on one of the klink ships, not sure which one it was... can't take a screenshot atm game doesn't seem to want to do that. Oh by the way... great job the game seems more balanced now, had to start over but not a problem. Loving the battles currently the Klingon's don't like me... that's only because they keep jumping in fleets at the bottlenecked sector I have a fully weaponized and defensive upgraded starbase at   also the damn Romulans keep trying to tempt me into attacking the Klingon's which I won't do... they are the closest empire near mine... lol don't wanna bring down the destructive hammer of them upon me when I'm trying to slowly build up my fleet and tech and expand my empire. GJ on the update, something to tide us all over until diplomacy is released. Man does that large map provide a challenge or what

lol i had yesterday on the 23rd my birthday and today i see this in the forums

THXXX soa2 team

yes we are aware of a mesh issue with a klingon ship .  Its not textured or uv wraped atm.

I seem to recall them saying they'd move this mod to diplomacy - in which case, they'd need a Envoy ship - I just wondered whether they'd made a deision on the ship as yet.

yes we have made a decision on the entire ship line up. even for diplomacy but atm were not releasing the names or stats. sorry gotta keep some things top secret.

Rightio

Just wondering if this was a bug... but the Borg Unicomplex's "transwarp node" ability doesn't right-click to activate, even though it says you can do that. The only way to activate it is to manually click on it.

How many stupid question do I get?

1. where is readme. file?

2.can i use j zip or only 7 zip?

3. whats a rar file?

I must have been sleepy last nite, 7 zip, seems less intuitive than jzip. But maybe the sleep issue.

7zip is really nice.  Right mouse and you'll have menu shortcuts to various functions.  You can browse archives, view files without extracting, edit files and alter the archive.  It's got great compression and error correction too.

The readme(old :() is in the archive, but installation is pretty easy.  Just do extract files, and select the 1.051 mod folder.  You can view the path from in game by clicking the show mod path button on the mods page.

I'll be in irc again today if anyone needs info in real time.

A .rar is just another type of archive. WinRar is the not free program with a trial. 7Zip is best, opens all types of archive and others and is free open soarse

WinZip is free, so to speak. It's just nagware.

Oh, while I remember - the PlayerPortraits doo-dah seems to have mucked up - everything seems to be a quarter to the left?

I apologize in advance if I missed this, but is there some sort of changelog for this update? 

I think someone ate it.

Across the board alterations on stats, abilities and visuals is the short version.

Okay just a quick question... why does the download for the update and the fleet mini-mod seem to be the same exact file? care to explain the difference between the two to clear up any confusion I am having please?

opps that has been corrected

thanks

I thought something was strange your welcome
