umm i have some ideas...for trade routes since the idea of trades routes is to make money how about using the phase lane texture to designate trade lines between planets and any freighters(tradeships) and refinery ships that use those routes gain 25% more cash/ore and cystal. and perhaps for the trade/refinery stations we could have completely neutral ships hyper in (this idea is seen in star trek armada) dock with the station u gain money and they hyper out to another planet. Would make the mod a little more realistic from an economic perspective since not every1 wants to fight but all want to make money ill post this idea in the warlord forums as well (i got the same name there 2 i wonder why no1 likes tarkin)

Thrawn: CEC Corvettes are used by nearly every military in the galaxy, the modified corvettes are used extensively by the empire for system patrols as wells as convoy protection.

Eville: Do you need any help with the project? Specifically modeling, map designs, that sort of thing, if so email me [email protected]. I can send you some work if you wish. btw i goto school for game art/ design

Oh Tarkin sry for the truth but well, you don't have a Death Star and we both live on planet Earth, so there's nothing you can do. But yeah I like your idea. Certain planets have certain exports like Corellia and whiskey, Ylesia and Kessel with spice, Mandalore and beskar, Mon Calimari and seafood, Nklon/Mustafar with metals, Coruscant with laws, the list goes on and on. The neutral ships idea i don't see happening. We only have 3 races, and they all want to kill each other. I doubt they will cooperate on trade.

Oh by the way EvilleJedi great appritiations for the work invested in mod

Would anybody be up for some SOGE multiplayer ??

what i ment with the neutral ships is that they dont belong to any race...lookin in star trek armada 2 the ferengi just warped in from off the map does their business then warp out..it would be hard to implement in Sins mainly becuse there is no place that cannot be occupied...so perhaps what might be best is if they hyper in from literally off the map to a planet with a trade post then hyper back out (you could put an invisible planet with the trade ships i guess) i guess if they had to belong to some race then put them with the pirates(then those neutral trade ships would be called smugglers?) or perhaps something like a smugglers outpost would be needed (like pirates they just dont attack any1)

Is it possible to make Fighters or bombers researchable (I mean not availiable till you research them)??
I'm asking because I wonder if dev will drop that limit of one bomber and one fighter type per ship. If they do, but fighters or bombers wouldn't be restricted in some way then we would still have a problem with them - like having a Tie Defender and Tie fighter in same time, which would make Tie fighter usseles all the time not in mid or late game phase..

raledabetic: not a mistake, I scaled from the fighters on up so that's where the capital ships will be, I still have ships like Home One and the Executor to go well above an ISD

Mostly I'm concerned about pacing. I stated the capital ships to last about 5 minutes vs each other one on one, more vessels will obviously kill things a lot faster. Part of the lack of use for the small ships is that abilities are not implemented yet for the most part so that is on the way. Also the cost and construction times for vessels is up for discussion.

so in short I want lots of feedback about the length of battles (I will be adjusting damage rates, not shield/hull defenses), planet assaults and captures as well as how long it takes for you to build up a fleet from starting the game.

I played with the acceleration a lot and I think I will keep it as it is. straight line ships can go really fast, I may turn down the turn rate a bit, but ISDs can outrun the millenium falcon in a flat out drag race (even the Executor can) and the MF can go from planetary surface to 5-6 planetary diameters in a minute. I think the grav wells will be extended more as the larger ships like the Ex just look funny when they take up most of the map. We'll see.

It seems the Interdictor Cruiser dosen't work. Every time it was in range of retreating ships they always got away.

When?

P.S. I'm getting the black ship syndrome with some of my ships, is this common?

I'm not asking for ETA as the first version is still fresh from release, but I wonder what are your plans for next relese ? further development of Imperials or adding rebels. Plus I wonder what new ships have greatest chance to get to next release.
