Quoting Sinperium,

Yeah--DS, Maelstrom and Stars all have some highly desirable features. Each one has areas where they stand out. Stars is the most like an actual board game of old though--hands down.

You should collaborate on a merged mod release--which would probably melt the game.

lol tempting (for personal reasons) to do. Would love to see this with DS research and caps.

I too would very much like to see this.

Thanks, guys! 

As for the phase lines, I just turn them off.

A DS add-on would be highly anticipated. I can tell you that much for sure.

@Aplos - About the pirates and wormhole tech. Were you able to field test and see them use wormholes? Or did you just add the research to the pirates tech line?

Hi!

I gave the research to pirates that unlocked interstellar phase jumps (and of course tested).

As for the wormholes (or gates), giving them the research should work too (In Stars 2.4 they don't have such).

Hmmm--I've tried it way back and they never used it within the first two hours--worth a shot to test I guess.

I got the same test results as you Sinperium. Interstellar worked just fine but with wormhole they never even sent out an attack when they were only linked by wormhole and when I connect them but made the wormhole the shortest route they still didn't use it. Oh well.

All the planets are transparent. Is that normal?

I mentioned on another post the desire for wormhole use by pirates and a dev responded and said they would look into that for Rebellion.

I notice pirate raids phase into the pirate bases from "outer space".  I wonder if they already have a kind of hardcoded phase gate potential?

I'll try giving them the research for it and add a "pirate phase gate" and see what happens. At least this way you could make hubs to connect to phase lanes

Your Pipeline Effects folder is messed up then.

Try looking up the fix or updating your sins version.

sounds like the old entrenchment 1.04 issue, which was caused by several fx files in the mod's pipelineeffects folder ie

GS_Asteroid.fx
GS_Planet.fx
GS_Ship.fx
GS_ShipBuilding.fx
GS_ShipPhasedOut.fx

just delete these files and it should fix it for you

Nope, still transparent. I've deleted the files from Stars pipeline effect folder and diplomacy aswell. If I delet them from the core game files it mini- dumps.

you should ONLY delete from MODS, NOT the game files.  you can repair the sins/entrenchment/diplomacy installation by verifying the installation in impulse ie open impulse, when logged in hold a shift key down then RIGHT MOUSE click on the sins/entrenchment/diplomacy lines and verify the instalation, and download the update(fix for the damage)

Wow, this mod is truly wonderful!
Solar planetary textures are very realistic. Congratulations to the authors!

A fusion of this mod with DS would be great...

With your permission, I will now translate this mod into my language, Spanish, as I already did with the DS mod.

Harp thanks that's a lot better. I've been playing this game for years like that. The suns are solid now and I have the colourful planets when I zoom away. The planets are still transparent even on the highest setting. I even tried it on low to no effect. Have you got any other ideas?

I'm sorry, Theophantus, but I have no idea why.

Any idea on how to remove the spiral effect with multiple stars? It worked on the older version of Stars (think 2.3), but I can't seem to find the spiral textures lol

Aplos it's nothing to do with your mod I'm sure. I've done something my end, with all this messing about! Great mod really polished. My mod would be awesome merged with yours.

Hi, Man!

I suppose, You could simply modify 

"SkyBoxProperties" file, by removing these lines:

	numFarStarIconCloudTextureNames 3
	textureName "Stars_SKY_Lavender_Spiral_1" - (by the way, the names of that textures)
	textureName "Stars_SKY_Lavender_Spiral_2"
	textureName "Stars_SKY_Lavender_Spiral_3"
It should look like:
	numFarStarIconCloudTextureNames 0
 
I think, it might work.
