Sounds good!

It's for regular (vanilla) sins, no expansions. I just downloaded it and tried it out real quick.

Thanks guys for the interest.

As noted SoaSE Maelstrom is for "regular (vanilla) sins, no expansions."

We will be releasing expansion mods as follows ...

1. SoaSE Maelstrom the Expansion (includes Dreadnought Capital ships for all six players) - for SoaSE regular.

2. SoaSE Maelstrom Entrenchment

3. SoaSE Maelstrom Diplomacy

mods 1. and 2. are mostly done and could be pre-released.

mod 3. development will commence soon.

Release of the above mods will be dependent on request and interest.

With regards requests for pictures - this is a complete and extensive mod, i.e a great deal of time spent on development and testing - play it and you won't be disappointed.

Quick History ...

SoaSE has been in development for 1 year.

Emphasis is on game play, the least emphasis has been on Particle Effects.

Development is still open... ideas, feedback and contributions welcome.

Inspiration for this mod - SoaSE and 7DS. Thanks guys!

Hey i keep trying to download the mod but it keeps stopping half done or non at all can you give another download please

Can I use it with v.1.191?

Hi 501General,

Hope your enjoying the mod!

All models are either original, derived from SoaSE or in the case of the TradeAlliance ships from Coxxon's 'Battlestar Galactica models".

Just a word about Coxxon ... he is just about the only person we have found to of freely donated his textured models to the modding community. A legend! Damn good models too!!

In the case of the Ancient's Planet it's the Maelstrom team's work. Check out the Fortified world too and take plenty of fire power with you when you do (planet bombing power that is).

yeah that issue has been plaqueing the game for a while now MajorStress and others have developed a mod to help with that

might want to check it out and see if you can use some of their new optimized models to help out with that

Hi Holybeast,

Tried a download test myself, no problems with a Firefox Browser.

Let me hazard a guess and say that you tried downloading via Windows Internet Explorer?

If so you might need a "file download manager" ... google it and see.

The only thing missing from this thread and your website are pictures to sell people on it...

White Star

Water World

Savyor

Mineral Planet

Metropolis Planet

Industrial Planet

Frigate

More Frigates

Fighters

Binary Planets

Cruiser

Ancient World

That should help in the short term.

Well, I assumed he was asking about the version of Sins that would support your mod you have posted to download, but thanks for the additional information and keep up the good work.

I guess you could try this download manager add-on for firefox:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201/

At the very least it should let you resume where you disconnected from so you don't have to start over again.  Should being the key word there.  I keep a free cable attached to my router specifically for connecting laptops to it when they need to get larger downloads and are having issues with wireless disconnects.  So you may want to borrow someone's cable for a little bit if you can connect with wires.  Couple options to try...

I also had some difficulties downloading, but I just kept re-trying until I downloaded it successfully, and I am also using firefox 3.66.sorry my version after checking is 3.63.

Wow, those are some awesome screen shots.

If you don't mind me asking (whoever did the planet work), what did you use to make the planet textures? Those turned out a lot better than other user created planets like say Sins plus.
