psychoak Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Brace for Impact and Sacrifice are not a shield restore, they're damage reduction and retargeting. They shouldn't have been the same trigger design to start with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Brace for Impact and Sacrifice are not a shield restore, they're damage reduction and retargeting. They shouldn't have been the same trigger design to start with?They work best when set to fire off after getting some shield damage, rather than firing off the moment they get any damage, like Sensor Scramble does. Both abilities reduce damage, the former by a flat out DamageAsDamageTarget reduction, and the latter by increasing Shield Mitigation (plus the retargeting). As well, Sacrifice and Backup Shields have always had the same autocast conditions. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavo Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Update: February 13, 2012 | Revision: 706 Independence, Mon Remonda TargetCountPerBank for all banks increased; this should fix the issue of underpowered Alliance supercaps. Cost and build time of supercaps with a TargetCountPerBank value of 5 have been reduced; when I calculated supercap costs I was entirely unaware of this and did not take it into account. This should make it clear which supercap is a "lower tier" ship. Also increased Mediator's speed and maneuverability. I am considering lowering the Malevolence's TargetCountPerBank to 5 and reducing it's cost, but this would be unfitting for something which was touted as the one of the CIS' best warships. As it is, in the tech tree it's listed as being the CIS' weaker supercap, but with the CnC boost and volley fire it's at worst equal to the Geo SDN. Perhaps I should change the Geo SDN instead? Looking for comments/suggestions on this. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloosecannon Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 ^^Agreed with switching Geo SDN and Malevolance. Nerfing the Malevolance just doesn't sound right to me... Sins of a Galactic Empire Mod Team Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 ^^Agreed with switching Geo SDN and Malevolance. Nerfing the Malevolance just doesn't sound right to me...Yeah, I think I'll go that route. The Malevolence is really much more suited to being the stronger supercap, it even has the CnC ability, which imo is a stronger supercap ability. I have a surprise in the works for you all...

Lavo Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Update: February 15, 2012 | Revision: 707 May I present to you, the Empire's newest supercap, the Imperial-class Super Star Destroyer! Known primarily for one of the lead vessels of it's class, the Allegiance, built upon experience from the Tector-class Star Destroyer and the Praetor Star Battlecruiser, it boasts massive firepower and can decimate opposing fleets. It lacks it's own starfighters, but has a powerful point defense network. It is a solid addition to any Imperial fleet and is a fearsome ship on it's own. As of now it lacks proper text/icons (using the Praetor's) and research, but this will be fixed soon. Model courtesy of Warb and EJ. Also tweaked some supercap weapon ranges, and bumped down the Torp Sphere one research level. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff.

Lavo Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Update: February 17, 2012 | Revision: 710Â Added World Ship for the Vong; it takes the place of the Battleship as their strongest supercap. It's the most powerful ship ingame, having health superior than the Viscount and weapons superior than the Executor. Model courtesy of Warb! Allegiance now has a mainview icon, picture, and proper research. Fixed milita's Broadside Cruiser, they will now use Cluster Missiles again (you have to start a new game for this to work however). Â We're getting close to releasing the first patch for non-beta users; just have a few more minor things to take care of, it should be up by the end of the weekend. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff.

MrPhildevil Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Lavo, I have not beta tested for very long, but let me tell you this: your mod has evolved very fast and a lot.

Lavo Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Update: February 20, 2012 | Revision: 712 World Ship, Allegiance have full icon sets now, the former has a really bad mainview icon though. Vong Hangar Defense has a volcanic skin now, to differentiate it from the starbase model (think of it as a "developing" starbase) and made mainview icons for both, Vong now have a loading screen picture, Mandator speed (aka. linear acceleration) boosted to Executor/Viscount level, added Vong trade port, fixed/added strings, shields for ships/modules will now no longer render (they shouldn't have done this to start with, and saves system resources). It's almost, almost patch time Sins of a Galactic Empire staff.
