Highlights in Epic Mod v1.1a

1.Universe At War gameplay: Independent worlds now fight each other and you for universe domination!(will post a vid

later today.)

2.Captials except the lght cruiser for each race needs to be unlocked by captial research in fleet logistics research section.
To unlock them you need to research Cap supply to get more captials to choose from. The last cap supply research is the titan.
Will you rush for the titan or get better technologies? You decide!
3.Reduced the cost of all vanilla captials (resources, credits, supply, and built time by half).

Fixes:

1.Reworked the rate of fire on most ships to reduce lag and boost performance.
2.Upped the supply for fighters that are jump capable to reduce lag.
3.Fixed the ability on city planet to remove antimatter and not make ship's Antimatter go negative.
4.Fixed Skirmished vessel to correct cost and build time.
5. Took out the rough fighter movement to be more tested(will be added in later).

My previous mod was known as superminimod. But, due to problems I reworked my mod from scratch.

My mod includes destroyer class, battlecruiser class, and a titan class. New defences for each race: Advent can plant outposts on asteroids in their gravity wells and is also equipped with shield regenerating devices, for vasari they have hanger that can deploy gunships and also deploy fast acting fighters or bombers to protect the hanger, and the tech can create a huge battlestation that can destroy,disable and enhance ships in the gravity well.Gravity well has been increased as well as asteroids and capturable ones too. A rough fighter like movement for frigates and cruisers has been added its not perfect but it does add some more action to the battles. Captials also has been buffed and also the strikecraft they can carry.Research also has been expanded and for tech they dont have lasers but 4 research techs devoted into enhancing gauss type weapons.

My mod also includes:

MANSHOOTER's Volumetric Explosions&Damage Effects Mini-mod v1.0 MERGED with Bailknight's Effects Mod 1.3 (updated for newest patch by Annatar) and with my own tweaking.

The Sin's Plus Addon by UZII has been added the abilities are different to fit the Epic Mod style.

Future plans is adding ability trees that is connected to research. If you research one path a weapon of that path will be unlocked to use.

12/13/08:Just recently I added a way for independeent worlds to invade other independent worlds . Like a constant struggle within the scenario. The stations that are with these worlds can spawn 3 types of cruisers to also aid their quest. It looks really cool and solid. Plan to release this in next patch. Got some balancing stuff to do cause the ai seems to have some trouble repeling them off. More to come in the future!

11/30/08: Added a Wave System when you kill defenders protecting the planets (npcs) theres a chance it will spawn another wave to defend the planet.When you kill the last wave it will spawn a boss type unit(boss has not been implemented yet). When you kill, you will be given extra experience to your captials and resources.

Heres a preview of advent battlecruisers the ships with blue engine ball trails (comet) going against a tech battlestation and tech dread(dominator).

This was pic taken from 1.05 but it shows the battlcruiser unleashing upon a kol battleship. Love the screenshot

The Fusion of technologies has begun, the independent worlds put pieces of captials from all races to form their own vessels: The Inde Battleship

The Inde Carrier The Inde Battlecruiser The Planet Sieger The Inde Station

The anti spam ability aka Bright Fyre:

Advent Dreadnaught this model looks different from all advent ships, not sure if it fits them:

Lastly the Advent Titan:

Tech new captials:

The Tech Light BattleCruiser:

The Tech BattleCruiser:

The Tech Heavy BattleCruiser:

The Tech Titan:

Vasari Captials: Vasari Captial Raider:

Vasari Captial Planetary Sieger: Vasari Dread:
