Hi,

Having tried out your mod with a few medium-sized games against three or more Hard AI, I can say that this mod is well put together, contains high-quality models and is very exiting to play. I have, however, noticed a minor gameplay thing that was not mentioned in the "Known Bugs" section of the OP, though it may have been noted at some point in the past 40 pages (that I haven't read all of)-

My main problem was with ships like the Venator I (republic crusier) and the CIS cruiser-carrier. These craft, though combat oriented, are difficult to combine into fleets with other combat classes due to the way the SINS engine treats non-capital vessels with the colonize ability- namely, that they are automatically selected separately from combat craft. This means I would have to have a separate fleet just for Venator I's, or just for the CIS carriers, which is a tad bit irritating, but less so than trying to get a mixed fleet to stay together (first time selecting the fleet grabs only combat ships, selecting again immediately after giving only the colonize-enabled ships, third selecting only the combat again, etc.)

EDIT: I just realized that I never mentioned I'm only using the publicly availiable version, not the beta SVN. So you might have aready delt with this or decided it was working as intended.

EDIT II: also the rebel mc80 SFRS, which is really a shame because it is such a wonderful combat crusier. EDIT: Actually, this one seems to work. I tested the other two first, though- they don't. At least I don't think they do. It seems not to be the ability itself but of some other flag that I, not being educated in the ways of Sins modding or file structure, am unaware of.

AdmiralTeridoc  do you mean the acclamator I and the Trafed carrier? (the venators should not have any colonize) personally I like the fact that they are seperate because they really don't belong in the first wave of a fleet operation, they would get murdered. Defenses need to be eliminated first. I usually use the quick groups (1-9) to move ships around anyway so the selection issue is only a problem right at the beginning when you have at most the local defenders to deal with.

GimpyChris: I'm sure hoping we can do some things to beef up the AI, though we've been trying to get them to use defenses more and it is failing miserably... I'd really like to make the AI harder to kill on its own turf. IMO the attack strength seems okay between normal, hard and unfair, but the defensive strength is completely screwed up and the AI just doesn't like playing with us.

hmm which race were you playing against? I am curious if the attack scripting might be broken for some races but not others.

Im probaly missing something, but could someone tell me what ship the Empire uses to colonize planets? I cant seem to find the option to do so.

Great Mod though, I love how Star Wars Fits with SOSE so perfectly. My only issue with it is the scale of the ships and stations, shouldnt they be bigger? Star Wars ships and stations usually are Massive.

Hey, do you guys still need help fixing the abilities and... text and icons 'n stuff? I'm just going through my download fixing whatever I find; but idk what you guys still need done. Great mod by the way!

The abilities need oodles of balance input, of which we're getting... zip.

Either I'm perfect, and got them just right, or people are in love with the cheese or something...

EvilleJedi, I havn't downloaded the mod yet, but I was looking at a few screenshots, and have to say when this is finished I must get it. Out of curiosity, are some of the skins of these ships modeled after those used to upgrade skins in Star Wars: X Wing Alliance?

Get access to the current development version by applying here

If it's marked fixed, then it's here!

Is anyone else having a problem with the filefront download. it keeps stopping after 11Mb sometimes a little more. Ive tried restarting etc. Cant think of any reason why the download finishes itself before all 220Mb's have been downloaded?

Are there any alternative download Sites?

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but i dont have the energy to search through 41 pages

Edit-: Managed to get it completed using firefox instead of Internet Explorer 4millionth Time lucky.

I have to apologize for not downloading this Mod earlier.  I am absolutly loving this... except for one thing.

The only problem I have is why does every frigate, no matter what race, cost only 2 supply points?  This isn't right... some of the more advanced or heavier one should cost more.  As it is you get just swarmed by little ships... way too many little ships.  In Regular Sins.. vanilla or entrenchemnt... a light frigate should be around 5 supply points... a heavy more like 10-15 (aprox... I don't have the list right in front of me)... but you get the idea...

Other than that I think it's quite well balanced... and a hell of a lot of fun!!!

Ok EvilleJedi, I got it.

Awesome. 

I apologize if this has already been covered (I can't really go through 1000 posts heh), but are the models incredibly small or have you increased the size of everything else? I'm assuming the size difference probably has something to do with making room for the SSD and making the battlefield larger?

As well I'd like to praise you for a few little things, such as using Star Wars Universe planet names, putting in names of certain starships (such as the Chimaera), and having a wide variety of ships used by all the factions using their real designations. I've played mods of various games before where a MC80 would just be called a "Star Cruiser" and there would be no winged variant. Where a Nebulon-B frigate would just be a frigate. I know its not much, but I appreciate the detail. And I could tell you obviously are trying to be as close as possible to SWU ship stats when I saw a calamari cruiser with something like 14000 shield points and only what, like 2000 hull, when compared to the star destroyers that had less shielding capacity but a tougher hull.

Obviously room for improvement, but hey, I've got no real complaints. I don't have the time, patience, or skill to make a mod half as good as this one.

"If you don't like it, make it yourself!"

I like it, and I couldn't make it myself.

yeah re scaling things was necessary, but it is a huge amount of work because I had to rescale effects and speeds and everything, not just the models and their hardpoints

most of the abilities are set to auto and the ones you really want to control are on the capital ships, the capital abilities are a lot more effective and the cruiser abilities for the most part are designed to fire automatically, certianly you can micro more if you want, but that's an option not a necessity, I find myself usually moving the capital ships and letting the cruisers do their own thing once they are in the proper area.

in the player files after the research definitions is the hyperspace block, it has a speed you can adjust. you may have to use the bin -> txt command line tool that is in your sins install folder.
