Again, to finish answering Brooke's question, Power and Fuel in Star wars Legends are not a problem. Standard Star ship Power Reactors/Generators last much longer than Nuclear Reactors. Star Wars Legends is so much more advanced than us that sometime it is hard for me to understand.

Well when I first enter it, I am just immediately get booted out. I think this needs an update.

how the hell that this was okay to be made....we love ssd!..like we love the mandator,bellator,executor,venegence,assertor, etc!

SSDs are meant to be hard to kill, that's one of the fun things about TR i love planing a attack on enemy fleets with SSDs and it makes sense because you can't destroy a SSD with a a-wing squadron and the BIG battle's are VERY FUN! also to answer Brooke's question, there are over 400 Billion known star systems in the star wars legends galaxy, with over 180 Billion known Inhabited Star systems and anywhere from 5 million to 20 million known sentient species/Races and a minimum population of 100 quadrillion of people in the star wars legends galaxy, so it is easy to man and power millions of Ships including many SSD's and other Star Dreadnoughts, even for minor faction and governments ( except for SSd and other star Dreadnoughts), the only thing is that building SSD's and Star Dreadnoughts is incredibly expensive.

KurdishTigers:The Big 🧠 Gamer 3 Sep, 2023 @ 10:23pm 
could you please make a version of this mod, but reverse the changes for the ssd
jameswilson81 27 Sep, 2022 @ 8:51am 
Thank you. My best my PC has ever handled TR.

Thanks

Yes, Projectiles_Space_Lasers.xml
MainTerranGallian 14 Sep, 2022 @ 12:07pm 
Thanks, Which file was it again for the fighters damage again is it in the projectile file? or something else
nordrlond  [author] 14 Sep, 2022 @ 10:06am 
MainTerranGallian, I'm not playing FotR right now, but yes, you can do it yourself.

For TR go to mod folder, find factions.xml, and replace

<Space_Tactical_Unit_Cap>300</Space_Tactical_Unit_Cap>

with

<Space_Tactical_Unit_Cap> (anything you want) </Space_Tactical_Unit_Cap>

Same for FotR but there different unit cap number

Then find all .xml files with capital ships, like Units_Capitals.xml, and replace SSD units with anything you want, just do not change unit's name.

Is it possible for you to make one for the Fall of the Republic?

@Futchgod they had a whole galaxy. Before Canon, which isn't what this is based on, they used Tibanna gas and reactors to power their ships. This game is based on mainstream legends.

Maybe narcissism or something, just ignore him
dAjOsh42069 18 Jul, 2022 @ 6:12am 
Just tired of people gatekeeping. There was no need for dude to talk to the dev like that!
nordrlond  [author] 17 Jul, 2022 @ 7:30am 
knew that too ^_^
Shavy 17 Jul, 2022 @ 6:40am 
I knew this mod's comments would be a shit show. Get some popcorn and watch.
dAjOsh42069 6 Jul, 2022 @ 6:04am 
(3 of 3) - Also, I want to be clear that... asking if "you're ok" and thinking that you are taking out your frustration on a submod dev is, IN NO WAY, a "psych eval". At no point have I ever in the past, nor in my responses within this submods comment section, "(found) some way of making it personal".. I just don't like watching people gatekeeping. Especially against something that is being shared with anyone who wants it, free of charge and purely for the sake of sharing something that the submod dev finds FUN.
I simply don't understand why you feel the need to tell submod devs (because, let's be clear/honest here... this is FAR from the first time you've done this...) that what they have created is pointless and wasn't worth creating in the first place! Even if you don't say those words, verbatim..the implication is clear as day.
dAjOsh42069 6 Jul, 2022 @ 6:03am 
(2 of 3) - When in reality, you tell the dev that he clearly doesn't understand how to deal with SSD's, that he seems to hate diverse fleets and only likes deathstacks, and then go on for awhile about how (and I'm paraphrasing here, not directly quoting) "my laptop (which is 10 years old) has no problem running TR. And I go out of my way to play submods that increase the number of planets and ships in the game". Which is essentially the same as saying "Your attempt to fix performance issues on older laptops is pointless, because I don't have those issues.". Additionally, I don't see the point in telling the dev that his submod/changes can; "be made in literal seconds by opening my XML files".
At the end of the day, you're telling someone that what they have created, isn't worth creating, because YOU don't want to use it. It's rude, and uncalled for. You're just gatekeeping.
dAjOsh42069 6 Jul, 2022 @ 6:03am 
@SR Forsaken -- (1 of 3) - You're kidding right? Because while you sound eminently reasonable in your reply to me, you certainly didn't in your OP.
I typically try to refrain from replying when I see you railing against some submod dev for making something that you, personally, don't want to use/play with. But felt compelled to say something in this instance because you went beyond constructive (and non-constructive) criticism. You state that; "the worst thing I said was literally "your submod doesn't make sense."."

Thanks

great idea. Timothy Zahn does focus a lot more on smaller ships. The Katana Fleet of 200 Dreadnaught Cruisers is considert an actual threat to the republic in the Thrawn Trilogi. An Executor can probably almost solo that.
Does anybody even use Dreadnaught Cruisers in TR? Even ISDs feel pretty sad when you run into an SSD fleet. Gameplaywise the SSD fights can be pretty exausting.
So, love the mod.
nordrlond  [author] 22 Jun, 2022 @ 8:11am 
Well, I've only read Timothy Zahn books, and that's what I had in mind. Of course this was a clickbait, I am a sinner, yes I know :)
Mildred 21 Jun, 2022 @ 5:29pm 
this makes more sense lore-wise too. It's insane how many SSDs are in Legends, how do they fuel and man them all? With so many huge ships all the time it makes them unimpressive too.
-=EDF=- Kouta Seto 21 Jun, 2022 @ 1:28pm 
1: Books had waaay more ships per battle than even those 300 cap games (what fought at coruscant? Over 20k ships in total (and no i dont count anything smaller than 800m long vessels into that)
2: Thats what their supposed to sooo nope, skipping this because of this alone.
3: Rather : Lower their health and dmg and decrease gun aim on them for all weapons safe laser. Wedge was in horror after a Lancer pulled up, mroe than 200 fighters and MULTIPLE MC 80's including ONE 85(The Home One) Fought the Executor with nearly ALL fighters lost, and a couple MC80's prior to them being able to even REMOTLY kill the bridge shield (with the rest still intact btw.) If the executor would have a second bridge read then she wouldnt even have crashed... she would have obliberated the alliance fleet herself.
urmum 19 Jun, 2022 @ 1:53pm 
this is like playing a mod for cod that takes away guns lmfao
The Black Samurai 19 Jun, 2022 @ 10:00am 
Books definitely had higher unit caps, tanky capital ships, and lots of SSDs.
blacktigeractual 17 Jun, 2022 @ 10:02pm 
Interesting idea, the end effect you're going for is a lot similar to to stuff I've been playing with. A slightly lower cap, but all fighters launch. (It's tedious waiting for the launches, but something like an ISD means so much more...)
SR Forsaken 17 Jun, 2022 @ 12:56am 
"Yes I know that if i don't like this mod I can just not download it."
I encourage submods and mods. Variety is great and it encourages further growth.
I also encourage people disagreeing with me. The range and scope of difficulty is just as vast as it is insightful. When I list examples at what I look for or play with, its to say that its possible not that is required. If we disagree then fine. I was confused because I assumed this was uploaded out of clear frustration. (mostly performance issues)

I love our back and fourths josh, you really seem to find some way of making it personal when its not. I'm more than fine and I may come off as being a smart ass but the worst thing I said was literally "your submod doesnt make sense." that was it. We could of discussed strategies or technical issues or any one of the points I raised instead I got a psych evaluation from you.
Mr.puertorican 16 Jun, 2022 @ 4:56pm 
I would just ignore what that guy says, its not really worth addressing. Coming from an actual dev of the mod; if people want to change the mod to how they like to play that's fine, that's the whole point of why submods are a good thing
dAjOsh42069 16 Jun, 2022 @ 4:20am 
As I said.. this submod isn't really something I would need, or want, to use... But it's merely existing doesn't offend me to the point where I would feel the need to insult the submod author/uploader..! I don't go to some game like "Hello Kitty Island Adventure" and rail against the game devs for making a game that I don't like and will never play..because I'm CLEARLY not the intended demographic/audience for it. If you don't have problems with FPS and game stuttering on a laptop which; "is over a decade old", then clearly this submod isn't intended for you.

Which brings me back to my initial question...
Are you ok? Kinda seems like you might have some other stuff going on, and you're (more or less) taking it out on this submod uploader...
Or are you just always this polite to others? (2/2)
dAjOsh42069 16 Jun, 2022 @ 4:20am 
@SR Forsaken -- Geez dude... Are you ok?
I mean like... I don't (personally) intend on using this submod either, but... it's mere existence doesn't OFFEND me. You seem to have taken some sort of personal offense that someone would create a submod that you don't want to use. I can understand constructive criticism... and I can understand non-constructive criticism... But what I can't understand is the extremely vocal vitriol, and sheer anger you seem to be expressing toward something that clearly isn't intended for your use in the first place. (1/2)
StarfoxU 14 Jun, 2022 @ 10:00pm 
SSD's are a lot of fun to use though
nordrlond  [author] 14 Jun, 2022 @ 7:31am 
It helps but not a lot, I still feel space battles long and boring. I have always used the most diverse fleet but still feel starfighters useless. And I know how to kill that executor thing but still don't want to see it on my screen. So I just fix it my way and upload it if someone needs, but it's ok if no one does. So will be any other helpful advices, smart guy?
w 14 Jun, 2022 @ 6:04am 
You guys should upgrade to a gaming set up
SR Forsaken 13 Jun, 2022 @ 12:50pm 
Game runs on a single core btw. Our laptops dont, or most actually are better at running lower cores. My laptop is over a decade old and if I run the game at high priority and with 1 core instead of 3, i get zero performance issues. And i go out of my way to play submods that increase the size and number of planets on the galactic map. Your submod literally makes zero sense to me.
SR Forsaken 13 Jun, 2022 @ 12:50pm 
Im playing on a low end laptop and I have my space cap set to 3,333. Granted I or the AI usually stops at 500 because i literally dont have any 3,333 fleets. I just did it cause i can.

Everyone can have up to 5 SSD because its really easy and fast to destroy them. You clearly dont know how to do that.

The shields, health, damage, speed for all ships and fighters are meant to represent those ships and be a reflection of strengths and weaknesses different factions have. Sounds an aweful lot like you just hate diverse fleets and like deathstacks of one or two ship types.

Regardless, all the changes you've made take literal seconds by opening my XML files.
Yes I know that if i don't like this mod I can just not download it. And thats absolutely what I and many others will do.
