First I would like to take the thank rjhughes67 for taking up this project. Nacey has had a lot of things on his plate and so he has not gotten around to Distant Stars lately. He says he will occasionally pop in with comments and ideas but his time is being taken up else where. I, Ryat, will continue to be forum moderator and master bug hunter for this project. And maybe the occasional change/addition.
Second I would like to thank Nacey, -Ue_Carbon, Draakjacht, Stant123 and Skyline (the originator of this mod) for all of their hard work on this project. Also give thanks to all the modders whose mod projects we used, abused and otherwise mutilated for our own mod.
And finally to our fans. Let's face it. Sins of a Solar Empire is a very moddable game and there are some excellent mods out there. We thank you for sticking with us.
And now without further ado the links.....
The one you linked to is for DIPLOMACY.
Notice how it says after the link for it: 1. Updated to Diplomacy version 1.37
You don't want that one.
If you go to the top of the downloads page you will see the very first download that is listed says:
DS_v0.21R+FWSP-RG
[ Core Mod ]
( 12/24/2013 )
From: DS Team
Updated By: rjhughes67
For: Rebellion v1.80 + DLC's
Checksum: 39394478
..... v0.21R+FWSP-RG Change Log.....
Notice how that one says For: Rebellion v1.80 + DLC's?
Yeah, you want that one. It's for Rebellion 1.80. And the DLC's if you have them.
I was trying this mod after the patch and about 2 hours in it crashed. I was only running DS v0.21R+FWSP-RG.
I tried the mod a second time and was able to get much further with no CTD. Although the new AIs are substantially more difficult. How to drop a 44k hull on a vasari SB with a fleet is a bit challenging when getting hit on the other fronts.
Much of what was changed have little bearing on the mod. At best, you won't get the changes that are implemented by 1.82 in certain areas.
I did get a weird black screen trying to alt tab out. Seems to only work with alt ctrl del then logging off and back in to get it to the desktop. I have this problem with homeworld 2 every now and again where it goes to a black screen when alt tabbing from a game.
Wait so am I screwed?
My games 1.82 and you guys only have 1.80?.....I read the whole thread....
1.82 just released.
Where can I download it?
lol
1.82 does not break any mods made for 1.80.
I just got my first mini dump
How so
Its engine changes that alter file coding that break mods, and this update didn't have any.
Odd, I am getting mini dumps on all my mods, including EX4 in dev mode. Fresh install, fresh download of mods. DS is doing this fancy minidump every 5 minutes thing. Causing me to save frequently. I saw rjhughes saying something about a update coming for all the mods on his site so I am just waiting. I am although happy that it seems to only be an issue for me. Any suggestions on fixing these crashes?
Not a one, sorry, wish I did.
No its great that you didnt, please tell me how fun you are having so I can envy you ----Jealous of the fun your having
Where is the research "Co-species Relations" because I can't seem to find it to research the Kosovza
and I can't find the Phoenix anywhere in the build lists for either ship yards.
Due to RL issues rjhughes has had to focus on other things now. DS will have to wait for me and I won't have time until this weekend.
Are you referring to the Hidden Alliance mod? I haven't looked that over in a while so there may be many mistakes.

No worries I assume we all have RL issues, get to it whenever
I for one will be taking a 700 mile trip... in my car and whats worse is California gas prices!
Yes and no, the Kosovza is in the hidden alliance mod, the Phoenix is supposed to be in the core mod.
It's in the "Diplomacy" research.
You can't build one, but to get one you have to play a game with "Flagship Victory" turned on. Then you will get one at the start of a new game.
New update for DS is up and running. Thanks to rjhughes67 for pulling out all the stops to get it done.
Enjoy.
Nice Update ! Thanks for the hard work Ryat and rjhughes and the Distant Stars Team.
***** NEW FIXED VERSIONS *****
Distant Stars Update
( 06/11/2014 )
This is a new download for all and fixes a few problems where those who don't have the DLC's could not colonize Forest and Swamp planets and for everyone the Industrial planet being in the correct research category as stated in the string file. We apologize for any inconvenience and promise that Ryat will be beaten repeatedly for days.
On the other hand we have replaced the Alliance Hidden Agenda's Add-on with Alliance Hidden Agenda's 2 ....Enjoy!!
