It's too bad the patch broke it (good thing i held off on getting the patches ) but i hope you can get the mod to work soon, cuz they said it fixed some late-game lag issues .

Trance, I've played Future Wars - Tactical Sim. It only works with vanilla sins, not entrenchment unfortunately. My only real issue was that it was TOTALLY in german as they didnt get to translate it so i got incredibly confused. Other than that. it was an OK placeholder until i got to play SoA2 for entrench. I'd recommend it if you want to play a "futuristic Star Trek" (lol), but it looks a little bit cartoony IMO. Nothing as great looking as SoA2.

On a side note, C'MON ROMMIES AND DOMMIES! and, of course, the Borg...

It was just a thought until the patch for SOA to 1.04 entrench was out.

lol i still cant get the first patch to work and then the Entrenchment patch breaks the mod i must not be liked by the man upstairs

It's good to hear you are on top of it.  Since I only play mods with sins anymore anyway, I haven't upgraded, and won't until all the mods I play have been fixed.

Thanks all for your efforts.

any news on the update to 1.04

I think Stress is right about using smaller versions of the Fed Starbase/Borg Cube being preferable - most people prolly won't notice the size change anyway, and you have to work around these things to make the game feel real, yet fun to play.

On a separate note...

Glorious Sacrifice Officially Submitted (finally).

I submitted two versions of the ability, one that's a straight-up ramming maneuver and one that involves pointing the cap ship at the enemy and firing off the warp drive.  Here's hoping the patch didn't break it (if so, lemme know and I can try to tweak once the mod is up and working w/ the current version).

have identified some of the changes and thus far are only minor

Yep, the dev builds will be coming with the hotfix and from now on, likely released with patches instead of as seperate downloads.

I just want to say (though it may already have been said) that I've enjoyed playing this mod (closest will will get to STO until it comes out).  It's a shame that the new patch has broken the mod, and it seems disheartening to the ones who have worked endlessly on it.  All that being said I want to thank Team SoA for your hard work on an enjoyable experience.  Keep up the good work and  I'm looking forward to the new version of the mod (which will require patirence, i know).

Live long and prosper, Team SoA[e digicons](\(\[/e]

Nice video, but you too have yet to learn how to turn off Ship Mesh Highlight filtering. Which is why some ships glow much brighter than others. I never use it nor have it enabled. We still need to figure out how to make that feature work right with the mod, but its been low priority till we got more important things done. Go to options\effects, and uncheck it.  Also ctrl + shift + z turns off the UI (after u switch to cinematic mode of course) will greatly enhance any vids, and screenshots.

Thank you Blair for the update. Wasnt expecting a Dev presense here, but it is greatly appreciated

OK i need to hear it from you guys.. Our community. 1/2 scaled down fed mushroom starbase, and borg cube? or replace with something "other"?

I have a mushroom model (with full interior) ready to import. 1/2 scale would make it about 1500-1700 meters wide instead of 3000+ . It will still be a big ass station (it will be about 3000 meters tall), but it wont take up 1/2 the grav well like the full scale station would. I am thinking of doing the same with the standard borg cube. Capping its size at 1500 meters instead of the actual 3000 meter scale. The Jem hadar Enslaver, and the D'Deridex warbird are about that size, and they work fine in game. "IF" we do 1/2 scale "supersized" units you would have to understand they are 1/2 scale, and why we made them that way. That answer would be for the gameplay. Which IMO always comes 1st.

I agree with a smaller mushroom model starbase.  It was way to big before BUT it needs to be the feds starbase. 

The large size looks weird when the station tilts to fire, not sure if you can disable that.

I also agree with making them 1/2 size. In the end as you pointed out, gameplay must come first

Keep up the good work.

Why don´t you upscale planets and gravity wells by 3 or 4 and keep the starbase on it´s original size? (this would also make the game a bit more realistic looking)
