Tech Tree Mods

from Sins Forums

Does anyone know of a mod that massively expands the tech tree in SOSE - Diplomacy? Or one that gives you just a few added techs? If not, I guess I can wait till SOSE - Rebellion comes out, but I would like to see some tech tree expansion. That way, just like GalCiv2, you can spend a ton of money on research and always be ahead of the competition. If you research all the techs, and then pwn, but then later the AI researches all the techs, it becomes a simple battle of strategy(I use the word simple losely). If it were expanded, then the game would have even more depth. Can anyone help?

Well, some mods out there do some of that.  Distant Stars for example, only added a few new techs, but nearly doubled the amount of research needed to complete a research tree forcing you to focus more or less on one type to get really strong at it really quick, or spread out the love and be a generalist, not really powerful in any one thing.  Eventually you can complete it all...

I believe Distant Stars and the Mad Scientists mod are about what you are looking for. The later might be out of development, but one of the team of the former will probably be here any second to tell you about it. *_*

Mad Scientist is quite nice. Was created for Entrenchment, though I believe it was updated by someone for Diplomacy.

Sweet. Are they over at Moddb? Do you mean you have to spend more money on upgrades of current techs? There's a Real Capitol Ships mod that increases the tiers for hull points, armor, shields, lasers, etc. to almost ridiculous amounts, but if you research more, you have the edge. Or is this something that actually adds many new and different researches on the tech tree?

(Don't know what happened up above... ??)

Go to the link above. We are slowly working more tech into it as we develop more. (Flagships, etc.) We also developed our own version of Real Capital Ships mod. A bit more balanced then the original. Distant Stars pulls a lot of other mods into it as well for visual and planetary effects.
