Perhaps, if spamming them is that viable, reduce the things to 1/4 or 1/5 of a regular trade port, and/or reduce their culture spread? Or increase their resource cost or even their logistic slot value?

Not entirely related, but I've been looking at ways to turn planet bombing into an ability so that regular frigates can planet bomb without hardcoding kicking in. I have an idea which on paper, and in very rudimentary ingame testing, seems to work, though the ability needs to be fleshed out more. Odds are the AI will very sparingly, if ever, use these ships for planet bombing, but at least humans will be able to do so with relative ease and this won't break the AI.

Odds are you're hitting the 2GB ram limit at that point...

generally harpo is correct. Artifacts ships work a bit differently in my mod though. It requires modification to the galaxy scenario def and entity manifest at a minimum. The artifact ability for capture needs to be used to. I'm on a cell phone so can't give much more in terms of details. 

I have already noted for galaxy scenario def by searching alien battleship.

For try,  i take plague capital ship and convert to a news artifacts, it's fantastic !!

the possibilities are so great !!! *__*

I can take ship of star trek, or stargate, or star wars, or ... mouahahahah so cool !

I very like your mod and i want add few vessels of other universe only as an artifact.

Question: i play with planet sinsplus, I should only change galaxyscenariodef of this?

Congrats Z

Is it intended that the Plague titan can capture enemy cap ships and even their titan with its lvl 6 ability?

Can i get help modifying one of the gameinfo files? Im trying to increase the capital ship limit, but when i open it on anything, i get something similar to this:

Any help would be great, thanks.

Does it work with mods? because I'm trying to change a mod, and I don't understand how any of this stuff works. I just want to increase the capital ship limit in Sins of the Fallen Fall of Kobol mod.

Which version do I use? The instrustions are not comprehensive on the page, and there is no readme, and the 12 different applications is confusing. No I am not a modder, thanks for noticing.
