It's been around since long before Sins.  It causes problems on 32 bit systems, you need to have access to more than 4 gigs, if you do, it's probably just fine to use from what I can tell.

Unfortunately, I'm not an artist, but I am grateful to this mod for immeasurably helping my imagination.

You're welcome, and thank you for all your work.

The first time I played through a SoA2 map, the Borg seemed to not do anything, it makes sense now.

I'm usually on the Sins of the Prophets forums, but what I really like about SoA2 is how populated it feels: each of the factions have diverse and canonically depicted units, and all of them interacting together immerses you in the ST universe.

This map is essentially, "What would happen if the Borg invaded during the Dominion War?" I'd like to make a map based on the Star Trek: Destiny or Star Trek: The Fall book miniseries next.

Have you looked through Map Design(spoilers).txt in the forge folder?

If you want to do custom things not possible normally, I can build abilities for you to design quite a ways outside the box, and may have done so already.

Well, one of the things in the design file is a listing for an unkillable DS9 that can change hands and receive faction specific weapon upgrades.  That was designed with Bajor in mind.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

my gaming rig with the modeling software is on the fritz, I havent touched any models in a few months now.

Hunched over a 17 inch screen is so 2005. Lol

Sins made me upgrade my monitor in 2008 to a 17 in, now in 2015 a 24 @1440 makes some of the newer Sins mods a sight to see.

Major btw thanks for all your work over the years.......

I noticed Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is now available on Good Old Games.

Here's an update to New Frontiers, an SoA 2 campaign map with 79 canonically-placed planets.

- Reduced phase lane travel time
- Correct start templates on homeworlds

Exhausted by bloodshed and eager for a better future, strangers begin to explore the unknown together. Will their hopes endure more tragedy and loss?

Player 1: United Federation of Planets
Player 2: Klingon Empire
Player 3: Romulan Star Empire
Player 4: Dominion
Player 5: Borg Collective

1. Download STSOA2 New Frontiers.galaxy

2. Move STSOA2 New Frontiers.galaxy to Documents/My Games/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion/GalaxyForge

Set Game Options to:

Unlocked Teams, Large Fleet Sizes, Orion Syndicate Inactive, Normal Start

Set Victory Options to:

Capital Victory On, Allied Victory On

I prefer playing at a leisurely pace, with the Khitomer Accords and the Neutral Zone in place, so I start with Klingons and Romulans as allies, while Unlocked Teams just makes things more interesting.

You could emulate the founding of the Federation by placing each player on their own team.

I usually make Romulan AI behavior Fortifier because of their extreme secrecy.

Thank you! I hope to update the map with more canon planets, so each faction's fleets can be stronger.

Memory Alpha is a BarrenFair in the map, I was probably trying to reflect the peaceful nature of the planet(oid). I just changed it to an Asteroid, hopefully that will clear up its odd map icon.

I'm not sure which planet has that OceanicFair default start template; the only planets with the OceanicFair type are Khitomer and Trill. Khitomer's default planetary template is already unchecked, so I just unchecked Trill's as well, maybe that will solve things.

Ah sorry, I was referring to how it was faster than the original version of the map. I tried to tweak the speed so that it didn't take so long to travel between the core planets, but it still felt like you were traveling vast distances between factions.

DS9 is supposed to spawn at Bajor, but for PlanetOwner, and the planet has no owner at game start. I just changed it to spawn for NoOwner, hopefully that works.

I'll play through the map now and hopefully some of the issues will be resolved.

You can't spawn it with no owner.  If it's not going to belong to a player at start, it needs to belong to a neutral.

I still idle in the groups steam chat if you want some real time help with it.

Has anyone created a program that converts the BIN files to TEXT?  OR if anyone has the game bin files already converted to text files for  SOA2, I would very much be grateful.  

I know harpo made one for  the other SOTSE, will it still work for the rebellion version?
