Woot first poster here, nice, I hope to see it come soon, my suggestion is after you have released the first version, for every update, just put up a version where it only has the files that were only changed

from what I have heard from the previous postings, is that stress is disconnected from further notice

Darkshimmer and Stress are still in charge, and they are both in contact with each other

"just letting you all know i am still alive, and my interest in SoA2 has not faded. Darkshimmer is doing an excellent job of holding the fort during my absense. I have yet to see the new updates Darkshimmer added being as i am on the road for work, and have no computer of my own to use during this trip. Hopefully that will change soon.

I trust Shimmers judgement with the mods progress. We both keep in contact via phone, and he keeps me informed of what is going on with the mod, I still say yay, or nay on some things. However right now i cannot work on the mod myself due to my traveling. Once i am back at my home computer i can work on 0.04, and the conversion to entrenchment."  -- Stress

this thread and account was made to avoid some problems i.e. not being able to update the main thread with new information

Yes Stress said there will be no borg, but shimmer and loki believe that they can balance them out and so far the borg are not OP

and no the mod has not been hijacked

If the forums wouldnt keep breaking on me i would have posted last night.

 You cant hijack a mod when the team does exactly what the project lead wishes to be done. Darkshimmer, and the crew have done an excellent job in my absense. AFAIK the only major issue with the entrenchment conversion is the models themselves, and once i can return to my home computer i can deal with that.

I havnt seen what was changed, but i will soon, and i do trust shimmers judgement. The "no borg" policy was a ploy so that when you did see borg you said "holy s**t!" one attemt to get borg in met with abismal failure. Shimmer, and crew seem to have found a way to get them in (without making them look stupid).

I am very much alive and well. I do check in from time to time permitting i have access to a puter and the net. I have about 1 month of traveling left then i will have some time off before i am gone for the whole summer. Until then stop giving shimmer crap. Everything he, and the crew are doing has my approval.

Having one account we can all access streamlines things a bit so that any one of us can post updates.

Glad to hear from you Stress and thank you for clearing up any problems with that lol, makes my job easier.

My understanding is this is supposed to take you through history, in a way. You start with TMP era ships and work your way forward, slowly getting more powerful ships, more advanced weapons. So you can think of it as the races advancing to that point of the dominion war, in a shorter time frame of course. Allows for a whole lot more "what if" scenarios.  Like all the skirmishes over the years leading up to that point and so on.

AFAIK all the trek ships are properly sized in comparison to each other which is all we are really worried about since at some later point we will be removing all vanilla sins ships from the mod.

I hope you'll forgive my ignorance then, never watched it, only ever watched the movies.

We're currently working on porting more stuff over to Entrenchment as well as squashing some rather... interesting... bugs.

Whether or not Stress and Shimmer decide to put beams back on the tmp era ships or not they will have my full support no matter the decision made. AFAIK there are no plans for putting beams back on them at this time.

Lol looks more like the borg has asimilated the pirated , with regards to space docks i recently have found a website that has some of the building space dry docks, starbases and stardock ...oo...already created so here it is http://www.trekmeshes.ch/, not sure if you knew, so ya

Ps: that emo icon that looks like a borg...look at the image location, stardock actually called it borg.png

youre guys are to great! will there be also starbases included?

I cant promise anything for Sins 1.15, but there will be starbases in Entrenchment. I had originally planned for the Fed's major starbase to be in the superweapon slot, but Entrenchment changed that with its own starbase slot. The upgradeable platforms is also something we are looking forward to.

The separation of the "defenses" on research is also of interest to us.

Our plan is for 0.04 to be the final update of the mod for pre-entrenchment sins. There wont be much more to do with sins 1.15 afterwards, and having a version of the mod for each version of sins is out of the question. We wont be able to keep them all updated in a reasonable amount of time. The workload involved is just too great.

0.05 and above will be for Entrenchment only. The mod at present will stay at 0.03, and be updated in stages (0.03c,d,e,f etc) until i can get back and get the stations in the mod, and work over the models to make them work in Entrenchment.

No pressure... but it would be nice if you could get it done as soon as possible, it would be nice, i don't want to regret getting entrenchment

Stop spamming that in other people's threads and make your own separate thread please.

If you guys want to play this mod in 1.15 all you have to do is delete the galaxy file in the SoA2 folder, that is what I did and I play the mod just fine.
