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.....
Distant Stars has been updated to Rebellion v1.92 !!
go to: RicksGalaxy.com
Thanks for the update
Any idea about the minidumps?
Nope. Sorry. Sometimes this mod will overrun the limits of the game engine and you will get a dump there. You just have to drop down the graphics or amount of ships flying around, aka less players. Beyond that, we couldn't tell you.
Darn... yeah I was playing at the lowest graphics and this was either a 2v2 or 3v3.
I feel like there is some ability or interaction that triggers it.
Could be that as well.
First i need to know if you are playing with any add on's? , and if yes the order they are stacked. Thanks
Thanks for checking on it! I am played with addons.
I don't have access to my desktop till EoW but I believe it was either combo 2 or 6.
I know that the Powerful Pirates mod needs some tweaking. Was going to do it before RL really ramped up in my world and haven't gotten around to it since. That may be an issue.
Bit delayed, but based on my current list of addons I should have been using #2.
Powerful Pirates was crashing sins at one point for me when I was trying to enable.
The Powerful Pirates & The SolSystem Add-on's for Distant stars have been fixed and are up for download.
Enjoy!!
I am getting crashes after this small faction update to SoaSE, is anyone else when using this mod?
There are various things that the DLC and update that now conflict with the mod. We are currently in the process of making it compatible. Not sure when that will be as RL is very heavy right now.
Yeah as Ryat said !!!!!! Be patient we are currently updating Distant Stars.......
No problem, just didn't know if it was still being worked on. I'm happy to wait
Does anyone know of any fixes that need to be made to Distant Stars, as I am updating it.
Only thing I can tell you is that during random combat engagements the game will crash, it doesn't happen without the mod.
Ok. Hopefully with the fixes in the update a lot of this will disapear, but if you run across this again post any info you might have on your crash.
Thanks,
I tried to play 4 games with the distant stars mod. Two with the powerfulpirates mod and Two with just the main mod both would crash within a few hours or so (tried deleting the game and reinstalling on desktop and tried the last few games on laptop). Distant stars is my holiday go to game to help deal with family stresses. I am so happy you folks are still around to keep this old mod alive and give sanity to this old broken man, I await the fixes like a child waiting for his Christmas present. Thank you so much for all the work you have done and continue to do.

I just played for 4 1/2 hours on a huge map vs 5 and no crashes. It does start to lag on the big battles for me. The mod is big, so you could try what I do If you want to.....
go to the "options" menu and to the "effects" page and check only these boxes:
---Show planet rings ---Use colored skyboxes ---Use deep skyboxes ---Bloom enabled ---Show mesh team colors
Then change the shadow quality to "medium" or less.
Set the..... Planet detail to "higher"
Ship detail---Higher Ship extras---Medium Ship bump---low
Building detail---Higher Building extras---Medium Building bump---low
last you need to shut off---auto save.
Distant Stars for Rebellion v1.93 is now up for download !!!!
Go here ------------> Ricks Galaxy
Yeah!
*lurks*
woohoo!
I can't seem to get the mod to enable? I've re installed SoaSE, and the mod folder still says v1.85 does that have anything to do with it?
I enable the mods and hit apply, but the cheksum never changes, and I've tried many combinations of stacking orders, the ones listed included
