I've tried that too.

I've also tried both, putting them as periodic actions. ANd instant actions on delay.

AND! i've tried taking out the "cannot be collonized" thinking it might be affecting it.

Most I accomplished was crahing the game when I accedently inserted a "generatereasources" line.

What mods work with 1.12?

Hello again,

Is there a mod (or can one be made) that adds a research to the Vasari, that will allow for using phase stabilizers across stars?

This saddens me.

or give a structure the properties of a wormhole?  might that work?  or would that be impossible?

also, just what are the properties of the EMP bomb?  does it disable weapons only, or is it like an AOE version of the ion bolt?

what does the emp bomb do? is it AOE ion bolt, or does it disable weapons, or what?

so it doesn't disable anything.  kk, thnx

I did have a question though.

Many of the new players and regular RTS players ask for a faster pace(start) of game.

As the map files are in plain text, it is fairly easy to change the starting conditions for each map, even the random maps.

For example, you can start with any amount and type of planet on any map. Also resources can be changed. What amount of starting planet/type/resources do you think is still usefull without unballancing the game.

I have been playing with this for a while and so far it points to somewhere in the region of 1 home planet 1 other planet (terran,ice,volcanic) and 2 - 3 asteroids. Starting resources x10 +20000 cash.

This allows you to cut out the first 45min worth of empire expantion with about 2.5 min of clicking.

After that you have a solid starting empire with a decent 14 - 25 income and about 5 - 6 metal 3 - 4 crystal /second.

Inc low level cap shipS at least 2 or 3

no research(except trade) or fleet. It turns a 4 - 5 hour game into a 1 - 3 hour game.

Any thoughts on this. Suggestions, maybe a way to ballance it a little better so that rush tactics would be less effective.

My first proper fleet (2 caps and about 150 fleet points) in 25 min from start. That seems to be worth it.

Are they not about to make the current Fast speeds the Normal speed in Entrenchment?

OK, Annatar, riddle me this...

In how many ways can I make a strikecraft of a particular type drain antimatter when it hits? Or disable abilities? Or give it any kind of passive ability?

Both in Sins and Entrenchment.

AFAIK strike craft in vanilla Sins couldn't get abilities. Someone said they can in Entrenchment, but I haven't tried modding that yet. But in general, a single ability has 2 ways to drain antimatter and one way to disable abilities. It can drain x amount in one go with an instantAction, it can drain x/second with a periodicAction, and it can disable abilities with an entityModifier.

As a passive, you could just make it drain x/sec of everything in radius

Well, each fighter has its own entity file (FighterTechBomber, FighterTechCombat) and each squad has one too (SquadTechBomber, etc). In vanilla, neither of these have anywhere to stick abilities in. In Entrenchment, I would guess it's the squad entity that will have the abilities listing.

Well EvilTesla-RG say hello to THE DOME (under either multiplayer tab or the modding tab (the best one))!!! It's. by my count, EXACTLY what youre looking for. Quick 30 min max games for those ofus that sometimes do not have the required time to play long 6-hour + maps!!

So check it out and tell me what you think about it +_+
