This has now happened to me as well. I was testing my mod earlier today with no problems at all. I updated a few entity files and ran the game again. Boom, everything is suddenly missing. I thought I screwed something up, so I disabled everything I changed... and stuff is still disappearing. I have done absolutely nothing else since it was working.

Excellent.

In my case, both vanilla and my custom meshes are gone. But I can still see stars - except their distortion looks like it was supersized and it's really weird looking. I cannot conceive of what has done this...

Fixed it. Seems that the patch did not like some pipeline changes one of the graphics mods did. I don't even know what the mods did to the pipeline stuff in the first place but 1.05 definitely did not like it.

Don't get too antsy.  Even though open-beta ended yesterday, official release isn't until February 9th, 2010.

I stand corrected I shoulda said that Diplomacy is now updated to version 1.0.  And this mod is really great.  A few of us Trekkies had great battles in our free time while in Iraq.  Thank you for creating this great piece of work.

i am glad you all are enjoying the mod

Yes the borg will eventually have ALL their stations at a higher cost than anyone elses in,  the borg stations however in return for this higher cost will have the highest HP, Regeneration + regenerate ability (not yet added) + more armour than any other faction ! all these values will be tweeked over each release however the price will not go up any more.

yes the key to the borg is late game if you can as a player make it to late game you will win end of story early game is going to be as hard as hell for you, as for forming alliances well that is up to you but i prefer to go it alone

as for the unicomplex growing as you upgrade it ! this system will be added to more stations over time + adding more stuff such as more HP, regeneration to all your stations (civilian / military research etc)

the capitals did get a small buff with this release and i am thinking of buffing them again for the next patch but not by much

anyone enjoying the roleplay style ability (Intimidation ) *We are the borg lower your sheilds surrender your ships etc* ?

there is a known bug with the unicomplex that no one has mentioned yet ( a missing face when looking bottom up) will try and get this fixed for the next patch

Please can somebody help me get this mod working

The Sisko, that's been one of the plans for a very long time. Think Ship Of The Week ships. They've always said they're  more concerned about finishing off the main races first though.

ibbertson, you're going to need to be a bit more specific; what's the problem?

Gotta say guys, the borg are much more of a threat in this release, thanks a lot! Also, there's no name for the "Cap Ship Assimilation" ability- not sure if you'd noticed you had a missing string there. Also one or two of the Rommie fleet supply names go off the screen.

I'm just getting back into Sins(mainly cause the Mods are so awesome now). How would I go about finding an online opponent to play? From what I've seen on the message boards, mods aren't supported on ICO. I don't suppose you could find a way to add some type of small chat room/interface to the project website for match making purposes.

eh... we haven't gotten around to really "balancing" the Unicomplex yet.  It kinda shows, doesn't it?

-Installer Bug Notice-

Some of you have downloaded the mod and put it in the right directory, but it doesn't load.  I think I've figured it out.  The installer was creating one too many layers of folder.  In other words, it created a "SOA2 0.4E" folder with a "SOA2 0.4E NEW" folder inside of it, and the mod files inside that second folder.

This is one layer too many.  What you want to do is take all of the contents out of the "SOA2 0.4E NEW" folder and paste them in the "SOA2 0.4" folder.

If you need to know where these folders are, they are in your directory that follws: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire

Don't ask me why, I hear you with the desire for an .rar file.

Lol the unicomplex problem seems to the same as the borg cube in the pirate area in the Original's version of the mod. However, is there plans to make each race to support more ships, right now, you can barely get a fleet of substaintial firepower before you supply runs out.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY UNICOMPLEX!!!

furhter feedback on the 'new' Norexan:

the now modfied ability: frontal shields is awesome, while still being a rather fragile ship the damage output is monstrous. i had a fleet of 8 Norexans:

-a fully upgraded Federation starbase, say good bye in one volley

-a fleet with 2 lvl 4 Galaxies, the same all gone in one sweep

-a lvl 8 Norexan deals ~4,8k damage

imho the ability is shoud be tweaked a bit because the deacrease in weapon cooldown lets the Norexan spread their fire, if instead weapon damage would be increased they still could take out capital ships and starbases but would not be so effective against fleets, their firepower would overkill just some ships instead of roasting them all.

another proposal: instead of making it a shield type ability which can be triggered like you wish*, why not make it some kind of tactical decloak: you would still have your normal cloak, but with this second ability you can choose to decloak (and only deacloak) and the same buff would appear. this would reduce errors due to poor micromanagent** and would force the player to use cloaking as often as possible.

*the ability does not reward cloaking since you can simply fly uncloaked towards the enemy fleet and just activate the ability killing everthing

**i lost a Norexan because while tabbing through my fleet i cloaked all my ships except that i pressed tab one time more and decloaked my the first ship in the fleet => there is now a new statue on romulus for fallen heroes.
