If it is really bothering you, edit (with notepad) CAPITALSHIP_DOMINIONCOLONY.entity and change the stats. But be sure to make a backup of the file just in case.

A little off topic:

Does anyone know if there is a connection between the ships mesh and the fact tat it is a carrier?

I tried to make a new carrier ship but a little bug came up.

When it produces the squads they don't appear near the ship as they suppose to, instead they appear really far out of the gravity veil. Also when i want them to dock they just freeze in one place.

They do everything else properly and if I change the mesh of the ship to an existing carrier mesh then these problems disappear.

All capitals need hangar points, or you get dev exe errors. Some of the current SoA 2 Elites dont have them, because they were moved from frigate slots. We didnt get around to doing this in 0.4e. So much to do so little time. This will be corrected in the 0.5 update.

A quick way to make a hangar point without a modeling program is to open the mesh file in wordpad. Copy the "Above" null (with all of its info under it). Paste it as a new entry. Rename it to "Hangar". Add 1 to the number of mesh nulls at the top. The strike craft will launch, and land "above" the ship, but it works for a temporary solution.

The ships entity. Mainly the Roletype, and StatCountType determine the ships role in the game. It is important that each faction have at least ONE of each specific StatCountType. Otherwise the AI has siezures, and will refuse to build anything at all, or it will be lethargic. The Roletype does not have to be the same as the StatCountType. Roletype determines how the ship itself behaves in game. You can have more than one roletype per ship (Entrenchment, and Diplomacy). For the AI to function properly it is the StatCountType that is important.

It must not have been important then if you cant remember.

Anyways we are looking at the stats for the future updates. We know some of the ships are a little on the extreme both in the over, and underpowered sides. We never said the balancing would be "perfect" especially since we still have models yet to import into the mod. We still have yet to import the NPC factions. The mod itself as a whole is under 60% finished. It is because of our lack of knowledge about sins limitations, and constant mod breaking patches that it took us so long to get this far. Not to mention that we all on the mod team have real life jobs, and commitments to deal with.

I wish i had 24 hours a day of free time to do this, but modding doesnt pay my bills. Only money does.

We left the mod files in text format editable by wordpad so that you guys can change anything you dont like. All that we ask is that you keep any changes you make for your own personal use. If your changes indeed make an improvement submit it at our debug site http://code.google.com/p/sinssoa2sacrificeofangels/ If we use your changes we will credit you in the mods credits.

the only thing i see everywhere with this mod is ''sting not found'' ='(

i don't see right race names, and the only ones i see is from the regular game

and for the name of the ships....it's the same thing

at the end it looks more like a fusion of soa and soase

any idea to be able to play the mod with all names and texture with?

Knautzkopf is correct. Rename the english.str to german.str, or whatever your language version is.

The mod was created in English only. Apologies to the non english speaking users.

If any German French, Spanish, etc. etc. speaking person wishes to translate the mod feel free to do so and we will host the language files on the main topic.

0.5 series progress. The fed faction is done minus a few structures. The Klingon faction is 25% ported, and the optimization project has been merged with SoA2 (had to make the optimization project before i could merge it which is why it is taking so long). Things are very slow with the mod right now because of all of the mod team has RL commitments.

how do i get a mod to work on windows xp? I have all of them in the app folder.  There is no "use mods" option in the "options" menu on Sins

Pole pinch will always be a problem with spherical UV-mapping.The question is can you live with a little bit of distortion at the poles if it improves gameplay?

The only way i can see to eliminate the pinch is to have virtually no details at the poles. like have only ocean at the poles, or a plain white ice cap and stretch the continental shelves farther away from the poles. Original sins textures were not designed to be spherically mapped. I had to "improvise" to make them work. We just may wind up making totally new planet textures, and sky"spheres" for the mod.

I don't know if anyone has asked this yet, but why does the federation only get one fighter per squadron?

But they are too easily destroyed and they can't compete with other races' squadrons simply because they are too heavily outnumbered.

I understand completely. I don't know that much about coding. Is there an easy way to change the number of strikecraft in a squadron?
