Star wars mod sins of a solar empire update#

Starbases can be built, but you TYPICALLY can only have one per gravity well, so choose your build location wisely.Capital ships & titans gain XP, leveling up and gaining special abilities as they go (which you can set on autocast or not, at your leisure, by right-clicking on the corresponding button).Ships slowly auto-repair/replenish shields, but certain ships and structures can speed the process for themselves and others exceptionally quickly. Focus fire is recommended, as a damaged ship is just as dangerous as a fully healthy ship. Ships auto-attack (unless you order them not to).

Only limit is in MP, where you have 10 pauses per game (time your bathroom breaks). Also, itвЂ™s pause-and-give-orders game instead of pause-and-freak-out, allowing you to consider strategy instead of turning into a click-fest. Any ship abilities for what you have selected are at the bottom right of the screen.

Use this to jump around or even select ships without looking at them. The left side has a list of planets where you have ships, structures, or owned planets.

Control is elegant left click to select (or drag a box), right click to act.

This is highly recommended for an attack. If you want a fleet to jump and arrive at the same time, you can order ships youвЂ™ve selected to jump as a group.

Each planet has a gravity well where all the action happens, with hyperspace lanes between them.

Oh, and no friendly fire (but if a ship is stolen from you-yeah, that can happen to non-capital ships-it instantly becomes a viable target). No z-axis to work with (ships will still slide up and down a bit on their own). Fighters and bombers (which carry missiles or heavy beams). Facing matters with weapons, and read the text for ship classes are stronger or weaker against specific enemies.
