Increase fleet sizes beyond the reaserch cap?

February 21, 2009 1:20:01 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Is there a way to increase fleet sizes beyond the amount allowed by reasearch?(16 capital ships and however many frigates and cruisers.)

I want to know because the normal fleet size gets a little small for me with 3+ star systems

you can modify the capship and ship count .entities. they should look something like

 

RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPSTECH0.entity

RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPSTECH1.entity

RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPSTECH2.entity

etc.

RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXSHIPSLOTSPHASE0.entity

RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXSHIPSLOTSPHASE1.entity

RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXSHIPSLOTSPHASE2.entity

etc.

a word of warning tho, it WILL get lagy and the AI WILL max it out, generally in 1 massive fleet. you can also modify the ship upkeep in the ship slot files.

 

NOTE: you got to use the text formats of the files, generaly found in the forge tools released for that version. the newest version as well as entrenchment dont have tools out yet i dont believe but there is a topic on the changes and converting some of the files, although that does not apply for the new version of entrenchment i dont believe.

Na, I have tried sins with 1500 cap ships, operate the same as just having 1500 ships, but probably becuase I have a great comp 4gb ram

not all of us have the newest hardware. my comp can run crysis and most new games on high but still lags like hell when you hit around 400 ships in a single grav well.
