Hmm, I just double checked the files and they look alright.  Are you sure you have the minimod above the E4X main mod in your mod order? All minimods must be above the main mod.

Hmm, well I just tried both Vasari factions and they both had their caps properly doubled. Can I get your entire mod order and checksum?

So minor complaint about the advent capital ships. This was a very large fleet battle between them and me. I had 28-30 capital ships, my lvl 10 titan, and a fully upgraded starbase. They came in through the black hole and just demolished my fleet. I maybe got 1-2 of their capital ships, but the damage retaliation buff/skill they had varied between 40% and over 200%. So any damage I did just destroyed my own ships. More importantly the game would always freeze up after their fleet engaged me. I tried numerous scenarios like attacking them before they reached this spot, or letting them just attack the starbase, but the game will always freeze. Obviously I've tried lowering all my graphical settings and such. Any pointers?  

Well I tried it with your mod order and the VCC still had doubled capitalships. However my checksum wasn't quite the same as yours, so its hard to say but it might just be a mildly corrupted download.

There are two different Advent abilities that can grant that buff. One is the Rapture battlecruiser's retaliation ability from Vanilla, which I think maxes out at something like 200. It only targets one allied ship I believe though, so just don't attack anything with that high damage retaliation and it should wear off. The other is the Hero Anima Kreia's passive ability which will grant up to 45% damage retaliation to nearby ships, which while it can't be prevented isn't a huge deal, you'll just want some decent healing support.

Might you be playing with the Expanded Research minimod. It seems to be fully teched up Advent shield mitigation values can reach into near unkillable levels, at least without phase missiles (I've heard 96% or so). I will be adjusting some of the Advent shield mitigation techs just in that minimod to try and prevent that from happening, 1.6 was the first version of E4X that minimod has been available for, so there was always bound to me some balance issues like that.

Well first of all, when using the Doubled fleet and capitalships minimod it is provided as is for those that want it, I cannot guarantee that fleet sizes that large will be playable. That said your choice of the world "Freeze" interests me. Do you mean that the game is just generally lagging very bad or everything actually freezes for a while, not moving at all, then returns back to the normal frame rate. I have heard some cases of the later phenomenon, and I experienced it myself when someone sent me their save, but I was never able to figure out the cause. If this is the case, would you mind telling me your exact mod order, checksum, and send the save file to me?

I have heard reports that the Gamefront mirror and the Moddb mirrors are somehow providing 1.6/1.601 respectively, so that maybe the reason if it sent you to the Gamefront mirror.

Possibly? Honestly us modders do not have a lot of control over the AI, but its possible the AI was in the middle of saving up resources for superweapons, and then switching on the No Superweapons minimod prevented it from ever building them causing it to never attempt anything else.

I usually play with locked teams too, so I doubt its the problem.

Sadly the dump files can only be used by the devs. If there is no obvious game event that caused it, try reducing your graphics settings, you're probably hitting the Sins RAM limit.

For Sins? Probably not, I haven't really stress tested it yet though. Maybe if it optimizes some stuff under the code it would, but it just seems like they made the shaders better. If you're getting RAM related crashes reducing the texture quality settings or using the Sins Optimization Project are likely to remain the main solutions.

There are two common causes of this.

1. Like the colony frigates' capture ability (which can capture all sorts of targets, not just resource extractors), capturing resource extractors now takes time. If you give them another order before the capture is complete, yes the ability will fail to do anything and just waste antimatter. Try giving the capture order just once and do not give them any other orders until the capture is complete.

2. If you are running any other mods besides E4X, a bad mod order has been know to cause issues with the capturing system.

There are actually two types of gas giant in Enhanced 4X. "Gas Giant" and "Ice Giant" planets can never be colonized, just like the Gas Giants in normal Sins (Sorry that the text is confusing). Only gas giants with the name "Colonizeable Gas Giant" can be colonized after researching Pressurized Evangelism, along with Greenhouse planets if you have the Forbidden Worlds DLC.

In the next version I changed the name of normal gas giants to "Uncolonizeable Gas Giant" so that it will be clear that you cannot colonize them. 

Your English is very understandable. I hope my reply is clear.

You can try. You can just revert back to 1.52 if it doesn't.

Hey. First of all: Great mod, had lots of fun with it already.

Ive encountered some weird things though. In both games i played the amount of credits of one of the AI's went through the roof. He spent all of it on the black market:

 Edit: Playing on 1.52

Oh yeah, that must be it. AI does have a hydrocarbon planet and the Gamefront link, where i got it from, says date added: 6-29-2013.

Thanks
