Enabling something as LAA cannot, I repeat, CANNOT destroy your computer. Its impossible for it to do so. If however you try to get a 32bit version of windows to see your full 4GB of ram...THAT could damage your PC beyond repair as I stated above.

I used to work PC Tech support, so I know what LAA is and what it does and I know it works. Thats the bottom line.

It can damage your installation, not your PC.

Now, if you're crashing 20 times a day, you're potentially damaging your hard drive, but LAA hoses installations, it wont break hardware.

Well, I can say that in all my time using LAA on my games...Ive never repeatedly crashed. And as for Sins, this game is solid. Never had a single crash, even with LAA activated.

Check to make sure you don't have an SoA2 file within an SoA2 file. When you open the mod file you should see such files as GameInfo, not another SoA2 file. Hope this helps.

Also dont forget to apply changes in the bottom right.

I know Trek ships don't have engine exhaust, but is their another way in this mod to give ships a forward motion signature?

Either you can see the ship moving, or you can see the background moving when you're locked to the ship.  Why do you need one?

Didn't the impulse drive engines light up on the enterprise? I seem to remember the rear of the saucer section having this. As you say though, its not important.

       I know I'm nitpicking, I live/love this mod probably never to play vanilla again. From the sparkle of the torpedos, to that perfect clunk sound as a ship gets hit , the debris, everything is in great detail.

Just thought with all the little details this could be another one. How bout a little glow behind the   

nacelles?

Can you be more specific?

this is not exactly what i mean, but the blue part of the nacelle would blur a little in motion, and remain as they are now when not moving.

btw was wondering if ships can warp out of wells without reaching the phase lanes? That would be an great ability to flee in the middle of a well. Sort of creating their own jumpgate.

in the star trek mod for nexus you can see  engine exhaust (bevore i played the mod i thougt the only use the there warp piston^^)

the trails would be much smaller,more of a blur and just noticeable to indicate direction.

At this time there are now plans for this. One of the biggest reasons atm is the sins 2 gig limit. Particle files would have to be made for almost each ship. That would eat a lot of rescources up. But we will keep this idea in mind.

thanks jay

That's more than I could ask for. Great work all around.

Ermm... how exactly do I play this map... I get an auto-defeat each time I load it up. I assume this is for entrenchment any help please.

it is for entrenchment WITH the SOA 2 mod. if you do not have the SOA2 mod enabled it can give the instant win/lose screen.

harpo

Hmmm that's funny cause I am playing entrenchment with SOA 2 enabled and yet I'm still getting the instant lose screen I'm even setting the players up correctly in that specific setting

Try switching the order.

Got it to work... I didn't put the map into the right folder... next time I'll remember to put it into the Galaxy Forge folder and not the other ones... I feel so stupid

the exhaust trails could not be turned off in nexus. They were never intended to be there. there should not be any exhaust trails for impulse drives. its actually one of my turn offs for star trek online. 

I'm thinking more of a glow, just to show the engines being used.

I agree "NO EXHAUST" but the engine glow would be cool. Just not sure how to make the engine glow without exhaust as that is a specific mesh point (P001-Exhaust) that activates when the ship moves. Its also the team colour. You could add a glow but its always on.

Sry double post 

Is the new update imminent?
