To the people getting minidumps, the first thing to do - if you haven't already - is change your settings all to high. If that doesn't work, then explore the in-game cause. If it's just a random event that make one game crash, then another unrelated event that makes another game crash, you're probably lacking memory. That has happened to me before, even with well over the recommended memory. There's pretty much nothing you can do about that, it's due to the fact that the game has more assets (added by the mod) than your computer can handle, even if their not active in the game. The game's crashing well into play because it's got to remember all the assets of the game, and then all the events that have occured as you're playing, so it's going to build up as the game progresses.

However, if the minidump is occuring on one certain event, like the activation of an ability or something like that, it's probably a coding error and you should report it to the SGI Team.

For now don't worry much about balance. Only the Tauri have their foundation in and pretty much all the stats for the Asurans and Wraith are going to be overhauled. If you notice a Tauri ship that is way more effective than others in the Tauri lineup, go ahead and discuss it, but make sure to take into account supply cost, build time, tech, ect.

We have plans for the Asuran lagarian satelite. It will be similiar to the tauri lagarian weapon. To be honest i dont think we have the custom model in for that unit. Be patient as a update is soon to come out.

thanks jtaylorpcs

not likely our mod is running less than stock entrenchment. So memory should not be issue but i agree turn setting to med or high not highest. especially on a 32 bit system.

i played the game for and so far my only concern is that frigates are very much useless, versus any capital ship, im playing as asurans and i dont even bother building them, i did at the beginning had a nice fleet, went up against a lv 3 wraith battleship hive and totally owen my frigates... the battle only lasted about 3 seconds.. My fleet was mainly heavy frigates... The hive went for lv 3 to lv 8 in only a minute or so... good thing i had my atlantis ship lv 8 nearby and barely managed to kill the hive... a lv 10 atlantis does not survive vs 10 hives that's for sure!


i saw that the carrier cost 10k credits 4k metal and about 4k crystal.... the ship is super fragile and will die vs a good amount of heavy frigates... i love how it has a huge pay load of fighters though

Not quite true.  I spawned myself an Atlantis, levelled it up to 10, then spawned a 21 hive's all levelled to 10 and they took ages to make any kind of serious dent in the shields.  Bare in mind they were accompanied by nearly 200 cruisers and almost 1000 fighters/bombers.

I also pitted a dozen human ships, a cluster of AG3's (that I got working, less powerful than the point satellite but still fairly deadly) and a pile of 304's against a level 10 Atlantis and they could not make the slightest dent in the shields.

The only way it seems to take down a level 10 city at the moment is if an armada of wraith ships use whatever ability they have that causes direct hull damage.

99% shield mitigation is about as powerful as it gets.

We will be releasing a patch that will address several issues including this. We hope to have the patch up for download in the next few days or so.

thanks jay

mkae sure su have it updated to 1.51 and then you install in, "C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.051\"


it should apear on your game after taht

Amazing mod...one of the best custom game experiences in PC.

Some balancing problems, but great job guys.

I would like to see an increase on the tauri research speed,  they got battle cruisers in less than 5 years from the beginning as well as assimilation of alien technology from all races. This will even out the insanely powerful hive ships and the invincible Atlantis ships.

Also i would like to see the B-302s being way more powerful than all the other alien fighters since they have enhanced nukes as ordinance. 

Also is there a "transport nukes inside enemy ships" ability for tauri ships? if not that would be awesome.

=overpowered tau'ri

also, in the show they couldn't do the nuke teleporting thing anymore because the wraith started using 'jamming codes'.

Note, target aquisition is damage deterministic.

To get the 302's to target other strike craft first, they need only deal more total damage to their armor type than others.  The missiles can be of another damage type as long as the total combined dps is greater against each other than the next best rate.

I know the internet is basically one giant enabler for laziness like that, but just read the OP.
