FIGHTERS!
today is a great day! For Shadow Mastiff has released a third gaming mode for the DOME mod!
before going into great detail, first, I'd like to give credit to p5y for giving me and shadow the idea for this new mode.
And, for those who don't know, I'd like to re-introduce the DOME mod.
The Dome mod is a mod whose purpose is to increase gaming speed by introducing new modes of play into sins.
Our first mode simply took away all empire biulding in Sins of a Solar Empire. Instead, each player starts out with a large sum of money for which to build a fleet and wipe the other player off the map.
The second mode was CTF, capture the flag. This is very similar to our original, but this time you must capture a flag ship, and bring it back to your home planet in order to fire a giant cannon to win. This mode is awsome, in that timing and manuvering are critical in order to protect the flag.
NOW!
with out any further ado, I present to you, the pinnacale of DOME achievement!
DOME: Critical
In this new mode we have taken an intirely differnt approach. Instead of removing empire building completly, we have greatly sped it up by lowering planet and ship health by approxemently 60%. Thier is no militia, the phase jump speed has been doubled, and lastly, the extractors are much rarer. Most planets only have one.
This new mode plays like wildfire. The battle starts immediatly, and continues stright untill the games end, which is around thirty minutes to an hour long.
This is the greatist mode we have, for it is not only extremly fun, and has all the empire components of normal sins,
But is extremly relient on ship manuvers. The greatist stratigist will win, these games are tense and fast to the end.
If you would like to become a contender in the DOME, just download the mod here:

Also-
Shadow Mastiff has not gotten around to adding instructions to run Critical into the Read me.
So,
To run critical, (versus the other two modes) Select the Critical map (which is only two player currently, we will make more maps if the demand exists), and chose a civilations with the stars next to them.
For example, if you want to be TEC, choose
+TEC+
and same for the other races.
Lastly, thier is a fourth mode currently in the DOME, DOME:Siege. But this mode was a flop, and was never finished. Ignore it for now, it will be removed in the next version.
Soon we will release a new version that fixes these problems, for updates, see our forums!
I'll see you in the DOME!
