Err..begging for features?? Oh my!..Look - this is going to be my last reply on this little charade we're having since we went way out of topic and I'm feeling like I'm hijacking someone else' thread, really not used to.

We appear to be on two completely different frequencies and it can be a drawback when using virtual form of communications.
You apparently built up a wrong idea around my suggestion and replied in a way which resulted in me feeling insulted (yes, that's right).
Given that few lines above that post of mine someone else mentioned the Celestial Planets...I was just throwing in a suggestion to eventually look at Sins Plus planet too for the good of many not certanly just for my own.
It would be pointless otherwise as I know it can be locally done and I'd do it myself, but I honestly can't be bothered by anything different than "just" play the fun game along with some little reading on the forums here and there on my free time, which is rather few already.
Eventually, providing some bug reports/suggestions concerning the mods I play - it's my way to be of help as I can't do more I'm afraid..and I can do it easily even without those nice new planets as I've done so far without problems.
I don't see how it can be described as "begging for features" but...I hope to having explained it now.
Should the author keep the suggestion in consideration or not, that is obiviously up to him and seeing he has already "deliberated"...I'd call the "case closed" and move on to something else if you wouldn't mind.

It wasn't a spam for the post-count..I swear!

Wait..there is no post count..oh well..yes..pretty much as you said.

Lo

I really like the new Alliance star base!!!  I haven't played this much other than far enough to build one and check it out, but so far I love the look!!!

Are you building one for the Empire?  I know you're not doing a death star, but anything other than the advent one would be better.

Getting errors when zoomed in on the Venator-class Empire capital ship when it fires some kind of weapon... (I haven't played Empire so I'm not sure what exactly it fires.)

Failed to find data file 'WEAPON_GREED_TL_SHEAVY_HIT.particle'. (SubPath = Particle)

If I click "Skip All" about 10 times and zoom way out until the Venator leaves or gets destroyed, I don't get these errors and the game can continue. It's not fatal, but very annoying, makes it impossible to watch battles involving a Venator.

I'm not sure if you've mentioned this before, and in a quick scan of the pages I didn't see anything about it, but do you have plans to incorperate the CIS and Republic?

Jason,

It seems that all of the ships already have custom HUD icons unique to the ship type... what did you want me to do if that's already done?

Still no luck registering at your forums. I get an error and it says come back later.

Wait, what are you waiting on?? There should be a patch that allows both mods to be run together.

Plus I merged Requium with CB over a month ago, before 1.03 came out. I just never posted it because neither was my mod to begin with. I won't post it or send it to anyone unless both Jason and TohKlidan say it's OK.

But it was really a simple straight forward merge, I got no mini-dumps when it was finished.

Hey, JasonFJ, I thought I'd note something I found that's odd. The Venators for the Empire have the most damage to the front.

Why I thought it's odd- well, the Venator has its most powerful dual heavy turbolaser turrets on its SIDES. It also has a pair of medium turbolasers (also dual) that are on the forward spines of the hull, and carries four prow proton torpedo tubes. I just thought that I'd mention this, as the frontal weapons should instead be changed to missiles, while the side weapons stay lasers but get more damage.

Also, I'm pretty sure that no shields in Star Wars have mitigation. I'd take off the mitigation, but increase the maximum shielding and also increase the shield rate regeneration (regen rate- a little faster, max shield- a lot higher). Also, the Star Wars races are a LOT like the Advent in this regard (I THINK)- they have powerful shielding, but in COMPARISON to their shields, hulls are weak. Personally, I think that the Empire/Alliance shield/hull points should be set up so that they are similar to the Vasari (about 50/50 hull/shield), but have a bit more in shields than in hulls.

Also, in the 'Player[Empire/Alliance].entity' file, you can edit the amount of AM that the race loses for its Phase Jumps. I think you should set it as zero, because I find that I have difficulty taking neutrals with my caps (as the Empire), especially with the Venator. Of course, I did play SoaGE before Requiem, so the Venators had A LOT MORE punch to them in that.

well, from what I understand, the Star Wars warships typically this is what would kind of happen- "Shields are down. It has been an honor to serve with you all." *smiles wryly*.

The thing is, you can have a ship WITH NO MITIGATION, that has an OBSCENELY HIGH shield regen rate. IMO, Shield Regeneration could EASILY take the place of Shield Mitigation.

EvilleJedi- I also thought I should ask this. Have you played the Battlefleet Gothic Mod for Entrenchment 1.03? If you have/haven't, then you should note that the ships in the BFG mod have no shield mitigation (yes it says 15%. But it's gone check the entities). Instead, they had really high shield regen rates, and while frigates (which had NO armor (no ships have armor points), and had 200 hull/200 shield points) did drop pretty fast (and they are actually supposed to), the cruisers are actually pretty tough.

I'll use an example of the Imperial Navy (IN) from the BFG mod. The IN's primary LR-cruiser is the Dominator, which has the obscenely powerful Nova Cannon. their primary combat cruiser is the Lunar. If you had 2-4 of EITHER of these classes, an enemy Retribution or Emperor class battleship could go down pretty easy.

Why?- Dominator's Nova Cannons have really long range (93750 to be precise), and also inflict quite a bit of damage (~500 direct target&150 AoE damage). So that's about 2000 damage (if you have four) JUST from Nova Cannons. toss in the frontal torpedoes on the Dominators, and the fact that they will try to close distance to use their weapons effectively, the Dominators can toast caps pretty easy. With the Lunar, it's the fact that it has good close-range firepower. IMO, Dominators are better. They may not have good CQB weapons, but they pack some MASSIVE long-range guns.

Also, with the Venator, it may just be some nostalgia. I think that blue lasers would be better on it, that it should have more squadrons, and have most of it's DPS to the sides; plus instead of FRONTAL lasers (which it had none), have FRONTAL Phase Missiles/Missiles. I do know for a fact that the Venator has no FRONTAL laser weaponry. It does have a good number of spinally mounted and turreted lasers/turbolasers, but none were actually frontally mounted. Yes, they could angle themselves so that all 8 Dual-Turbolaser batteries could fire on a single target, but would they commonly do that? probably not (IMO). And they just look like Broadside-damage specialists.
