Looking for assistance in making a very miniscule change/mod

from Sins Forums

Hello,

So to keep this brief, a friend and I have been starting to play together after I gave him my humble bundle copy of the game.

My issue is, I'm now playing vanilla (Normally I use the Star Trek Armada 3 mod) and I've come to the harsh remembrance that the Starbases have an upgrade cap in vanilla (whereas they don't in STA3).

And it reeeeeeally bugs me.

My play-style revolves around Starbases being the centerpieces of my planetary and non-planetary defenses, as well as my support for close-by ship production, which means I have to sacrifice defensive properties to get aux government or ship production, which I guess is a part of the balance but I don't care about competitive fairness, just AI domination.

Is there a mod out there that increases the amount of maximum upgrades to allow for all Starbases of all factions to reach their maximum potential? And if not, is there someone who can direct me as to how to do it myself? I have Notepad++ so if it's just an INI or config file edit I can do that myself as long as I know where to look...

Thank you for your time!

If you don't mind using my Enhanced 4X Mod, there is a minimod you can use that does exactly this.

You can get it here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/enhanced-4x-mod/downloads/e4x-interregnum-optional-minimods-183

 

Fun fact, the hero system STA3 uses was originally created by this mod, so some parts of it might be a bit familiar to you.

Once I get my friend settles into the vanilla system, I'm 1000% checking it out! Thanks for the link man!
