Well, after playing some hours, I think that the approach to the mod is better than many others.

Ok, new races are funny, but... limiting the research tree reduces considerably the mid or long term games.

So, I really appreciate this mod, for it's simplicity and the fact that no dump happens (remarkable feature!).

Put it in my watch to be updated.
Please, consider to keep developing.

I'm curious about future implementations.

Very good work.

Sprouto, here I am.

Case closed: set Stereo on my sound card and no crash.
Thanks indeed!

Something like that, ah?

Wow, pinpoint analysis.
I'll try and keep you updated.
Many thanks!

Hi, I'm experiencing a lot of crash during 20x maps.
I need to save a lot and sometimes games saved looks like "corrupted" 'cause on load they crash after few seconds.

Any suggestion?

(every time I play I update the game via your launcher)

Thanks in advance.

For complete notice, the event re-start again. I've just reinforced my start planet and begin to re-colonize 1 colony and Titans come again and beat all down.

Honestly, Deep Space Overlords are overpowered.
8 attack in the same time, one ship for system, not yet developed.

Ok, it's challenging, but it kills the game.
7 system lost, 1 our of game lost and 7 colonies to rebuild.
I've tried all to resist the attack, no way.

A little balance could help?

Ok, clear.
But where I find the research to upgrade slots?

Here am I.
Tried the E4X minimod and for the Capitalships Cap it function well. But for Slots, the entire tier line disappear.

I tried to use the vanilla files and it happens again.
Maybe some thing in the UI disable the tiers?

Could you try and confirm?

In the GameInfo directory I have only the 16 (8+8) .entity file of RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPTECH and RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXSHIPSLOTSTECH.

Any suggestion?

Thanks for your time.
I'll try that and get on with the STAR project. Truly awesome.

So you mean I can take such files from E4X or Vanilla and edit them to make my minimod? (will look for the E4X minimod. Are compatible?)

I try to explain me better.
I wish I could apply a higher cap for capitalship total number.
E.G. on 1st level instead of 1 Capitalship slot, I have 2 and so on.
Something like that.

Hi. New to this mod. Always played with Maelstrom or Enhanced 4x and I must admit it's a very good project. It renewd my passion for Rebellion.
It's possible to have a minimod or integrate on STARS the option to upgrade Capitalship cap or the fleet in general?
I see files are .entity type and I do not want to make some mistake converting that to create a mod apart.
Hope you countinue in develop the project. Very, very nice job.
Thanks in advance for response and best regards!

Ehi, what can we expect from... Pirates? Giggle!

Ouch, only a month? WOW!

Damn, Sirio... watch over those Replicators scums!
(background sounds about a 5month baby thinking about EVERYTHING but the game)

Right, Soase. I'll continue the test on, so if there's anything else to warn, I'll tell you in time for the release.

Cheers!

Soase, a little note: selecting Pirates (loyal or rebel faction) cause minidump to me.

I've also tried to downgrade graphical settigs, but nope.

No problem with other new races: games start as usual.

See'ya!

PS: yes, I'm back, Soase. Proudly at your Mod Court.

Galudirithon, I'll try to respond to your question in the next weekend. Stand by please and THX for your numerous feedback.^^

UncleJ
The Italian Neighbour

The mod is for Rebellion & for Vanilla/Entrenchement/Diplomacy.

Have a look to the Download Release above to search the one suits to your version.

Enjoy!

UncleJ

THX for update.

Keep us noticing about your testing.
Each of them is important.

Thanks for your contribute.

THX Hammer.

Your feedback is important for the modder.^^
(& for me, obviously)

Hammer, any update on your tests?

The 20 star map gives U a minidump?

Let us know.

THX in advance.

Well, sometimes I've played Advent Rebel Faction (the titan class is my favourite for its "Neon Genesis Evangelion" Angel similarities...^_*).

Well, does not find any problem.
But settings & conditions are various (The AI type, the ai level...)

Try different settings & not forget the Replicators Quote "Outnumber enemies. Ever!"
(= to catch a Flagship, send MANY flagship...ahahah!)

Anyway, the new Races should be well-balanced at that state of work. And on every release, SOASE continue balancing to get better & better.
Stay tuned!

Cheers!

As Soase says,

in R7 the Pirates release is only a preview of the complete work on them that will be released in R8 of Maelstrom Mod.

A sort of "(Easter) XMas Egg" for Aficionados like us.^^

Well, tested the preview of Pirate Loyalist Faction.

Very enjoyable. Models are beautiful, Research tree interesting and various.

Now, let's try the Rebel Faction.^^

Happy Xmas to all of U!

Uncle J
The Italian Neighbour

Verified.

U're damn right!
Turned OFF the flagship and goes on... THX!

Taking a look to the Pirate faction...^^

Well, Soase, I've got a problem.

It runs but when I start a game, after few seconds in the splash screen it dumps.

Graphic settings are as usual.
Tried many races but it dumps.

Suggestions?
THX in advance!

ROARRR!!!

Here it comes!

THX, Soase!

& merry XMAS!!!

[Sorry, posted as a guest!]

Soase, a question: would U release the R7 with all-in (compatibility with 1.8 & playable pirate) or U think to proceed with two separate releases?
