You're...still here? Okay.
It's difficult to describe how this feels for us as a team. What started as a personal project for a frenzied Dutch booty-pirate in 2012 has grown into what we would call a small phenomenon, with hundreds of thousands of unique downloads and players from all around the world of every race, creed, gender and orientation. It's been a long, often tedious, sometimes stressful but mostly fun road, and it's one that as a team we are so proud to have traveled.
As I say, Armada 3 started out as a personal project for Max, then a budding 3D artist. Since then this team has grown into more than just a group of modders. As a team we've been parts of each other's lives for years now. We've witnessed each other's triumphs, supported each other through hard times, lamented (and, let's be real, secretly laughed) at failures, and whole-heartedly cheered at successes. We've seen each other's careers start and fall apart, marriages and divorces, the deaths of loved ones and the births of children. Team members have come and gone, and even though we're spread over thousands of miles around the world and many of us haven't actually physically met, the members of Stellar Parallax, past and present, have become, I feel, an unusual and very special group of friends. Here's to all of you, gents!
The road to this final re-release has been long and rocky. There have been discussions, arguments, blow-ups and reconciliations. It started as a simple patch designed to address some of the more glaring bugs still present in Armada 3, overlooked by a team that was, to be honest, eager to move on to other projects. But what started as a bugfix gradually grew in scope, until it finally became a full-blown project unto itself that recaptured our excitement for Armada 3 and committed us to seeing to it that this mighty mod sailed off into the sunset having reached its great potential. And the driving force behind this project can be suummed up in a single word - Bane.
Bane has been a part of Stellar Parallax since damn near the beginning. He's not afraid of hard work and doesn't back down from a challenge. In fact, I have it on good authority that he was once found wandering the Canadian wilderness just looking to fight a bear or brawny moose that could put up a worthy struggle. It's this kind of passion that Bane has brought to Armada 3, and as the project lead for the re-release the amount of time and work and stress and mostly metaphorical blood and sweat he has personally put into this mod cannot be overstated.
And the same goes for the whole re-release team. Imagine the effort it would take to build a big new house. Now imagine the effort it would take to take that house apart, one piece at a a time, fix and improve each individual part, and then put it all together again in a way that looks similar but is better in every way. That's what's been achieved here and we are so proud.
And through it all there's been you - our supporters, fans, players, audience, loyal subjects or whatever you want to call yourselves. Armada 3 has been a long, immense and at times difficult project, especially over the last 18 months with the pandemic wreaking havoc on all our lives. Your support, encouragement, kind words and yes, even your annoying questions have meant so much to us. We've loved your enthusiasm and engagement. This project would never have made it without you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, one and all.
Our very special thanks go to our Patrons: Miles and Heather Simpson, MR EVAN C BROWN, Darius Trent, trazyn, Chris H, Anthony, Joey J Pan, Fortress Tiberius-Kiryu, Alex Green, Michael Allan, Alex Dyer, Jessie Glover, Ash Wallis, Beelosh, Centurian128, and Michael Goldfarb.
With that, I have but one final, bittersweet duty to perform for Armada 3.
I hereby announce that Star Trek Armada 3, full conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, is no longer in active development.
I declare Armada 3 to be complete. Go forth and conquer!
Until next time, dear friends, stay classy. Or don't.
- OrionSlaver & the Stellar Parallax team

I love this mod man , I'm not trying to be overly critical here, but what is up with enemy AI titans getting free experience? That breaks the game.
So I'm playing the Romulans and in the process of spanking the enemy AI who is playing the Cardassians. I've blown up a crap ton of enemy ships and my titan is only level 2. All of a sudden their titan pulls up by itself and my massive fleet immediately begins wrecking it. All of a sudden it becomes level 2. What the? It didn't even kill anything. Then, unbelievably, it becomes level 3. Higher than my titan. All it was doing was sitting there and getting blasted and the freaking thing levels past mine.
Save your money for your Titan, game decides to steal 7,000 gold before you buy it. Save your money again for your titan, game decides to steal 7,000 gold again before you buy your titan. Over and over. Man this game needs a freaking patch.
Significant balance issues.
You do know that you can fix that yourself if you don't like what they did? I changed a bunch of ships to my liking and even got rid of the Constellation class and put in the Constitution class and made it have the same abilities as the constellation class. I also gave the Defiant class Griffin class and the K'Vek class to all have mines.
Something is seriously bugged with the money in this game. My wife is playing the federation and every time she sells a bunch of material to get her heroes or titan her money is just vanishing. It has happened like 5 times at least in this game alone. It happens to me too but not as much as it is happening to her.
Tis a shame no further work is done on this mod, but I agree it is a completed masterpiece! Well done fellas!
I wish I knew how to mod, because I think a fun submod/addon would be a faction built from all the neutral ships! There's so many incredible models we cant use or build, and the idea of taking on the big fish of Trek as our own custom Enterprise (pun intended) is an appealing vision! Like our own little empire built from mercenaries and pirates, competing for the galaxy! Heck it doesn't even need much of a research tree!
I have been having an issue as of late. It only appears to be this mod (I use several, never at the same time ofc). The issue being that when I try to run any map, be it small, medium, or large, the game crashes outright within 15-20 minutes of gameplay. My friend and I have the same issue. Its not like the usual RAM issue of the game (that usually crashes with an error window of some kind), but a CTD with no error and no warning. I have tried deleting the mod from my system, redownloading the mod, and trying from scratch with a new game, same issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Turn your graphics settings down to medium. I've noticed that most mods for sins, crashes the game if its set to high or extreme.
Anyone having issues logging onto Sins? The play button is not highlighted from the Stardock starter application.
The 'Last Stand' map for 8 player is broken. You start on the enemy's side, and one enemy starts on your Allie's side. Is there any way to fix this problem with my favorite map?
You can edit it in galaxy forge
Just watched a tutorial on it and figured out an easy way to swap the player start position with the enemy's: you just delete the star lanes connected to your start position, do the same with the enemy planet you want to swap positions with, and simply drag both planets to each others' SP's. Then, simply reconnect the star lanes and boom! You're in the money, baby!
You can also just click on the planet and change the owner
