Thank you. I know what you mean, I'm a Star Wars guy only started watching Star Trek the last few weeks to try and understand it (sadly Babylon 5 is not on Netflix but from what I've seen it's great). From a mod perspective though I think Star Wars works better with Sins because the technology levels and fleet sizes are similar.

Yes the SSD is the titan. There is no death star because this mod is set about 5 years after Endor in its own alternate timeline where the Sins races invade the Star Wars universe in an attempt to flee from whatever is chasing the Vasari. So the Death Stars have already been destroyed, and Darth Vader has decided that their lackluster performance thus far doesn't warrant building another one.

(Oh, and don't tell the Star Wars fanboys this, but you actually can blow up planets. I just think its over powered).

Oh the ironic similarity between the two hasn't escaped me, but we might find out what is really chasing the Vasari one day, which would make the mod really archaic. Also how could they be on the verge of invading two different galaxies at once? 

The Vong chased the Vasari into a galaxy far far away. A galaxy torn by a brutal civil war and an empire on the verge of collapse. A perfect galaxy for the Vong to decimate everyone else in. Mwuahaha

Actually its on the front burner, but a lot of the stuff I've been messing with has been behind the scenes stuff rather than new models, so I haven't had much to show.

Anyone else ever notice how well the Advent are described as a race of powerful Force adepts? Maybe you can make something of it.

They have telepathy strong enough to detect ships from hundreds of light years away. The Unity itself sounds quite a bit like a mass Force bond.

They use telekinetic powers to reinforce armor, launch their orbital bombardment rods, and in the case of the Guardian, Force push ships away. 

Their mind powers make most Jedi and Sith seem insignificant by comparison. Induced Reverence, Suppression, Animosity, Deceptive Illusion, and plenty of others. Then there's Induce Hysteria...which is basically every Sith Lord's fantasy.

This mod is absolutely amazing even if it's alpha. the SFX are brilliant, and the faction shown (Empire) is a lot of fun to use, much more than other mods.

I cannot wait to see how it develops. It deserves a download just for featuring the best Executor Model I have ever seen.

I wish it would also tackle Old Republic Factions, but que sera, sera.

I also appreciated the very intelligent upgrade system, which ties everything together, including the upkeep

Everything is a work of love, from abilties to icons.

I've been playing nothing else for the last week or so.  Stayed up till 5:30 am a few times and just showered and went to work.  Got lots of good screen shots up too.  Enjoying this truly am I!  

I have only played as the Empire so there is so much more to delve into.  Normally I only play Sacrifice of Angels 2 (and as of a few months ago Armada 3)  but the Empire mixed with the E4X mechanics has truly been inspiring.  It makes me want to be a better Emperor.  

I lowered the income level like you said and I think that was a good call.  I like the progression of the techs and it actually feels like it matters which techs you invest in at different stages of the game.  I'm going to say it, you have to "think" about what you are trying to accomplish.  I don't feel like a steam roller with a bad parking break perched on a mountain top when I hit the 30 minute mark.  So thank you.  I didn't think I would ever find another mod that I like as much as SOA2.  I'm glad I took the "red" pill.

backs out of the room slowly...   

Interregnum goes above the main E4X mod, and all E4X addons go above Interregnum.

I see, not sure why I read the readme wrong.  Ill give it a try thanks for the fast response.

For anyone interested, I've started a list of all characters and units that are found in the mod here. I've also added a small list of planned future additions, which I should complete in the next few days.

Also, for any Clone Wars era navy fans...

hi there.

im playing the supposed alpha. its a complete joke. even as a alpha this is the BEST mod ive tested! imperal fraction is total fun to play.

a wish: there are many strike-craft around. thats not good performance wise. is it possible to perhaps merge the squadrons into a single stronger strike-craft as in a minimod in SOGE?

ive ran i a strange bug: everything was fine for many plays. in the current game i cant build the executor. it builds around 3/4 and then stops. even the build animation of the factory stops. a clue why?

i tried a former savegame, scuttling the factory, a different planet, with or without no superweapon optional mod; nothing works. (when scuttling a titan-factory you can upspeed the planets ship-building speed twice or even more times, intentional oder exploit?).

i will try a new game. perhaps that game without a executor was cursed by the rebel scum

thanks for the FAST reply.

ok you got me. that wasnt a bug. for the first time ive forgotten to research the last executor tech

(im laughing about myself now. the most obvious and i tested and tested to get it builded)

thats a point about strike-craft. im not a modder. the only bad point about this mod is the bad performance, which even led to a few minidumps and me playing small fleets and maps.

only one other complaint: with this mod i cant bring myself to play vanilla fractions, other star wars mods, or even my beloved borg
