[quote who="Unikraken" reply="1" id="3865078"] Hey DANMAN, good to see you in here. This is what the FAQ says currently about modding for Sins2: WILL YOU SUPPORT MODS? Mods are a big part of why Sins of a Solar Empire continues to be enjoyed and played by so many. Sins of a Solar Empire II will provide an improved system to allow mods to be created, shared and downloaded from within the game and hosted on Stardock's Tachyon servers. So that a

As an "old skool" modder, my biggest question is of assets we designed for Sins 1, will be compatible or at least be able to be converted to Sins 2. When you have a mod as large as 7 Deadly Sins, it would be terrible to have to remake all that. AND - FINALLY!!!!!! SINS2!!!!! We have been begging for this for YEARS! So awesome this is finally happening. To all those devs that know me, I offer my help in any way I can. DANMAN <

Thank you, my friend. It is incredibly difficult doing this on your own, especially when at a time I had a huge modding team, over 20 active modders and thousands of playtesters. Now it's down to my son and I. I mod, he playtests. Thank you for the Christmas wishes, sorry it has taken me this long to reply. RL has been keeping me very busy. But with this new update, I think I am going to get back to the mod. I may have to start from scratch (agai

Thank you TobiWahn_Kenobi, great to see you as well. Many of the oldies are all gone, but glad to see some linger. I'm not hanging up the reins yet, still lots for me to do....just doing it all on my own now takes more time than I currently have. But know that it's always on my "to-do" list, and that I'll get it out as soon as I can. DANMAN

Hey Everyone, The website is down right now...couldn't afford to keep it going on the current server. I am trying to migrate it over to another host. In the meantime, feel free to make all posts here. I do apologize once again for my absence. This is becoming more and more straining on me, since I am back to being the only one left to work on this great mod. I also work full time from home now, which is more that I realized it would be, pl

[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="230" id="3730787"] Quoting Wintercross, reply 229 I'd like to see the 3-dimensional aspect improved slightly both in control and map layout, and being able to have rotating turrets with defined tracking speeds and to either have projectile rounds modelled (so they can miss) or at the ver

Greetings All! I'm not dead! Just super busy doing work at home (I lost my job, so I am a full stay at home web and graphics designer now) and my wife and I just had a baby girl! After 4 boys, we finally get a girl. Don't worry, we are DONE! We were done about 2 kids ago lol. Anyways, I have not forgotten you all, just been insanely busy with life. I have also tested the waters with making music and trying to start a music career (I make Synthwave

[quote who="Craig Fraser" reply="191" id="3717027"] Is this post dead or do you guys still want Sins 2? [/quote] Of course we do my friend! As one of the "oldies" around here, I've been around since beginning of this great game. There is still, NO OTHER GAME like Sins. No other game that compares. The new Master of Orion tried, and failed. The new Star Control that is being worked on sounds amazing, but alas its still not Sins. No othe

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="175" id="3703145"] We (Stardock/Ironclad) can't really discuss this presently. But as I've said before, we are listening. It is a significant challenge to top Sins of a Solar Empire without massively increasing the team size which would change our shared culture. [/quote] Thank you Frogboy for acknowledging our request. An idea for you. If there is no human resources to make a bigger and better game, how about

I need to install those an another copy of the mod I have for testing purposes, just to make sure you don't overwrite anything I have already done. That has happened far too many times in the past with developer's patches that were given to me. As

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="37" id="3698061"] I think EA owns Starflight. The reason Stardock acquired the rights to Star Control (and people should really avoid perpetuating the myth that it’s just the name — by that argument Coca Cola is “just a name”. See https://www.upcounsel.com/purpose-of-trademark ) was it merged multiple genes together perfectly. Star Control could be describ

[quote who="High_Guard" reply="4934" id="3699185"] Tried that. Didn't help. Am stuck... and would like to give it a whirl. Ditto when running with the dev exe; it reports issues with several different entity files, things like missing lines or syntax or something... and then Runtime Error! Could it be that the mod is trying to make the game do something it's not set up to do? [/quote] What version of the mod are you trying to get t

Greetings, Coming back into the fold with a mod update for Sins of a Solar Empire, only to find that all my posts and threads are locked. How and why did this happen? Is there any way to get these unlocked? My thread for 7 Deadly Sins for Sins of a Solar Empire was one of the most popular threads in the forum for several years, and now it is locked as if it no longer exists. If this can be unlocked so that I and others can post again it would be great.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="19" id="3692198"] In the long-run the Star Control multiverse will include gateways to many different universes including licensed Sci-Fi universes. [/quote] This is excellent. This is the idea I had for the story of my 7DS (7 Deadly Sins) universe. A universe in which all sci-fi genres could exists. This is how I explained having Star Control races such as the Kzer-Za and Kohr-Ah Urquan meet and fight races fro
