Incredible mod guys, really alot of fun.  I have a question about the anti-assimilation ability of the norway.  I'm not sure whether i should leave it on auto cast, or if there are certain signs from the borg i should look for before casting it?  When it's on auto cast, the computer casts it the instant the borg warp into a planet, and the ability says it only lasts for 20 seconds so casting it before the borg are even in weapons range seems to nullify it.  When i manually cast it i'm not sure if i'm casting it at the right time, it doesn't seem to fair any better than when i leave it on auto cast.

My game was no victory... just a hell of a lot of fun to try and hold on as long as possible.

Stress, I know there in only maybe a 1 in 10,000 chance of actually beating the Borg 1on1... it should be nearly impossible.   Again, it's not reallly about winning... it's more about seeing how long I can hang on.  I don't care so much if I win, not with this mod... this is almost like watching a new Trek movie unfold before my eyes, and each time is different.  Win or lose I love watching it all happen.  And I do love impossible situations... my idea of a perfect game against the Borg would not be to win, but to try and establish a defensive position strong enough to achieve a sort of stalemate. Somewhere I could hold them off without costing me everything I'm making to resupply my own fleet, then hopefully making cloaked Defiant raids, or something, to try and find a weak spot... cut off their supply lines... a war of attritician (how ever that's spelled)

This is how I like to play, so I absolutly welcome the fact the Borg are insanely powerful.  Until you guys came around it was quite honestly way to easy too win SINS, no matter the difficulity or number of players.  I don't know about Diplomacy yet, but I was honestly getting a little bored with the Entrenchment AI. 

But then came the Borg...  and believe me, like Commander Kor I'm grinning like an idiot screaming "Finally, a worthy opponent... Q'Pla!!!"

Everyone here seems to know at least a little bit about modding here so I would like to know how to modify the strength of ships (Hull weapons shields etc.) as well as the number of fleet slots a ship takes up

so.... for like this mod what are the .entity's' for the romulans? (I'm using them as practice have no true intention of making changes to the actual mod made a copy of the .entity folder from the mod

im using the soa2 mod from original sins. Not homeworld or entrench or diplomacy

.4.3E is the whole mod, not a patch...

For that you should just pop into the gameplay.constants file.

Near the bottom of it, you have the modifiers for the in game speed settings.  You can take the slow setting and make it really, really slow with just a few numbers changed.  The values all have clear, common sense labeling, not much to figuring out which numbers do what.

The files were left in text for the release, so you wont need to convert them.

Quick compliment...game is stable to the point I forget to save.....and running smooth as silk w/ latest patch.

And much love...to my new favorite ship..the sabre.

Ships of the same type seem to react better in battle when grouped together, as opposed to tethered to a fleet.

example : Miranda's as a fleet seek mines better than if they are part of a larger multi ship fleet.

I think this is a Sins issue, but why can't Shelby's attach to a fleet like the other ships?

Thanks to all involved.

NCC-1701-D is a galaxy class starship, i always liked the Nebula class best.

I agree about the Borg making the game interesting, the only other mod i got thats near fair and fun is the sins of the 13th tribe BSG mod, but ya still need a 1:2 odds in favor of the Cylons to get a good match. the borg on this are awsomly difficult to beat. btw on the Wolf359 map is it possible to play as the borg side without being online, that would be fun.

Dark Lord Moridin.

I know, kinda figured that out after being beaten by them on that map. that said, overkill is fun!

There is no upgrade.  A patch would be most of the game as most of the files have been altered.  Click on ze Sacrifice of Angels 2 for Entrenchment link and download it!

It hasn't been textured yet.

I kinda sounds like you didn't remove the old mod, but enabled soa2 on top of it, in which case yes, you need to fix that, odds are it will crash at some point.

Occasionally the in game mod loading process has flaked out on me and done weird stuff, might be the case here.
