<t> You should add a few inter-arm stars to help balance out the asymmetry between the area around the sol and everywhere else. Right now there is an obvious blob composed of what we have mapped locally, but nothing like that anywhere else in the Milky Way.<br/>

Just a suggestion! Otherwise ...

<r> I figured I'd share my decent Distant Worlds soundtrack mod. Just put it the MUSIC folder in the main directory's Sound folder, or just drag and drop the tracks into your own music folder. 150 songs, taken mostly from the X series and EVE. I find they fit the ambience of Distant Worlds and ...

<t> Plagues V2<br/>

I took simulations file and added two more plagues, and tried to keep them different in feel from the xenomorph infection. They both come with their own graphics.<br/>

So now this version adds three Plagues:<br/>

Could anyone who has downloaded this upload it anywhere else? I'm pulling out my hair trying to get box.com to work. I've tried three different browsers, disabled antivirus and firewall, etc. Weird.

I really want to download this file but this box.com link won't download. The site is acting really weird....maybe someone else can comment on this.

Would you mind loading it to another host?

Thanks guys, looks like HD140283 had my fix! I really appreciate it, it's working now!

My attempt to use the effects files as resulted in the game crashing shortly after initiation. Anyone else have any luck?

I'm a fan of slow games with 999k research speed, and the warp drive progression always seemed to break the flow of things. I'm looking forward to the progress of this mod! Thank you for your work.

Great composition of mods, these were exactly what I was using during the Shadows era. Thanks for combining this into a theme that doesn't require any file overwrites!

Thank you Elliot and the rest of the team! I have not had any crashes since 1.9.0.6, and I was having them nearly every 30-40 minutes beforehand.

I really appreciate the fix!

<t> Sure thing Erik! (Let me know if this isn't the right stuff)<br/>
<br/>
Hopefully it's not something stupid I'm overlooking.<br/>

<t> I keep returning after every patch on my game, I appreciate the updates. However, I keep having intermittent crashes. I'm just puzzled, my graphics card is barely taxed, temperatures are fine, and I have plenty of RAM. Not sure why this keeps happening...the crashes are sporadic but often happen ...

<t> 1.9.0.4 seems to CTD less than 1.9.0.3, nevertheless I occasionally have a crash. This one was while saving using ctrl+s.<br/>

***my bad just uploaded to the FTP, forgot I couldn't attach files that large. Name is Mesthione_Crash_05292013.zip

I can also provide the larger game save if you want to check for stuttering in that as well.

<t> Here is a working save, I played for about an hour past this. One time it crashed on saving, and the next time I tried it I crashed while observing a battle around a planet.<br/>
<br/>
I hope I'm not bothering you guys because of a hardware issue, it may very well be that but considering the ...

Any idea what I could do to help with this? It also seems like my autosave files have been coming corrupt recently, not sure if that is related. Nothing seems wrong with my hard drive on the hardware side of things.

<t> Game keeps crashing and stuttering late game, so I switched to a smaller map (standard now). Still starting to crash late game sometimes while saving, other times when a battle starts. The whole game likes to stutter when you scroll in the galactic view.<br/>

@Astrocat,

SoaSE is less 4x than ES, if that gives you any reference. ES is turn-based, has heroes, a much larger research tree, and vastly different combat and diplomacy. SoaSE really shines in comp-stomping multiplayer with a dedicated friend.

<t> The one you find in your homeworld really gives you an early-game defensive edge because it has shields and decent firepower (compared to your likely-paper-made escorts pre-warp). Just let it sit on auto in your home system until your technology catches up, it won't do much damage and won't eat ...

<t> I like to stick with the fusion set once you get past the first few fission reactors because of the efficiency and also because making the economic transition to hydrogen earlier is easier. I like playing with the Quameno; their novacore is the bomb and holds you until late-game until you decide ...
