Sorry for starting new thread but my old one is not geting responces and im aching to play but cant.
Basically i edited my capitals to be 3 times as powerfull, hul, shields, weapons, antimater, all restore rates, strikecraft, cost and build time all up by 3. But now it seems nothing will attak my capital ships not frigates not other caps but they will use special abilities against one another.
Wondering what could be causing this, for more detailed info on what ive been editing heres original thread.

Can you post the code to an entity file of one of your capital ships you edited.

I don't see anything wrong with it. What I would do is put the original entity files back in then modify one at a time and test them to make sure they work. This is what I normally do; when I even create a new ship I take an entity file that I like and rename and use the mesh I want, make sure it works as default, then edit the entity till it's what I want. Makes problem finding so much easier.
Ok I think i solved it, apparentlly not thinking about it i also multyplied the mittigation rate by 3 which makes it 192% which is apparentlly so high that it causes this issue. But thanks for help
I was also resizing the cap ship models using this tool https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/326876 it worked fine exept the shields on the ships remained the same size so now only on smal sections of the ship do the shields go farther out then the ship hull. First im wondering does this actully leave my ship unprotected, or is it just an animation thing and the shields are still kicking in? Second how i would go about expanding the shields?
The shields should still be working just fine, even with the mesh being smaller. But you can resize it the same way you resized your ship, they're just meshes like any other object. But they are a *seperate* mesh from the ship.
yup just figured that out while looking through mesh folder tried it and worked like a charm.
Thanks alot for the help guys
OK well i ran into another problem (seems endless).
When i increased the starbase count in all the planet entity files to 3 in the DS mod folder. But it seems that only on the new planets added by the mod (fores, industrial etc) can i build multiple starbases. On the original planets(terran, ice) ican only build one still. I thought that i might need to edit the original entity files in sins main folder, but doing this did not change anything. I even went as far as removingthe planet entity files from original folder and leaving only the ones in the DS mod folder, and the game plays fine but still only one base on original planet.
Help would be apreciated
The DS mod completely rebuilds the file structure for the game towards planets due to incorporating so many new planets, the files your looking for are the "ProtoPlanetXXX" Just out of curiosity here, what is it you guys are doing?
Um im not working on anything these are just tweeks im making for my own game.
So since the changes work for all the new planets should i change the protoplanet files only for the original planets,?
