For some reason when I unzipped with 7zip into my modfolder it put the extracted folder into it's own folder.

So I had ../modFolder/Mod1/Mod1/Mod1Files

Weird

This mod is great. It's fun to play, fits well with the vanilla game and is very stable. I actually haven't crashed once which is something I usually expect from a large sins mod. Though I haven't tried and huugge games and probably never will.

I'm not sure if I'm having a problem with pirates though. They seem a bit weak and confused most of the time. For funsies I decided to dump a bunch of credits (57k I think) so the AI would put a larger one on me and I could put some defenses to the test. But only a handful, 30 or so with a couple capital ships, would ever show up and theyd just kind of trickle in. Eventually after watching the still active pirate bases with scouts for a while I determined that raids had stopped spawning all together regardless of how much bounty there was. 

I haven't played sins, modded or otherwise, in a while so I don't actually know if I broke something or if everything is working as intended.

Also I got the same result with and without the powerful pirates addon. And I should have tested the base game so I'll go do that too.

I figured that was the case. I think the last time I messed around with pirates they were a tad overpowered in the base game and that has clearly changed after some testing I just did. Thanks for the reply!

Thank you so much for the fixes, i have been extremely busy playing huge maps non stop. Wife is threatening to divorce me, the grand kids don't come over no more, even the dog stop bothering me for food, probably time for a shower, meh, ill do that tomorrow

Fighters have their weapons set to strike primarily against bombers, which have heavy armor?, where as Gunships are closer to all purpose weapons. With the way armor and weapons work, fighters may hit (I am just using random numbers as I can't remember the exact formulas) 150% vs bombers, and anything else with heavy armor, but only about 75% to 25% vs anything else. Gunships, on the other hand, may only strike at bombers at 75% but keep an overall 100% to 75% attack value vs all armors in general. So Gunships may help with increasing overall firepower, such as a lone star base or small carrier groups, and can help with frigates and cruisers where as fighters will remove bombers with a vengeance and bombers will remove capital ships but will help with little else such as frigates and cruisers.

Thanks for the continued support!

I found the problem with the pirates (I think, as it still needs to be tested). I have been trying to maintain the original integrity of the mod as much as possible, but I'm going to have to change the pirate raid structure in the gameplay file to boost the ship counts to where they should be.

If anyone has any other errors, issues or requests with the mod, please let me know now as I am currently working on the 1.94 update.

Awesome

We are watching with eager anticipation the whole beta/alpha run of Sins 2 in preparation of Distant Stars 2!

Coming Soon™

YESSSSS

Finally go this back on my new pc but I'm having trouble with the mod.  It shows in the mod list, and I activate it, but the mod doesn't actually run.  I just have regular Sins Rebellion with no DS content.  Any idea what might cause this?

Drat.  Thanks for the reply though.
