Ever wondered what all those little ships are?

July 27, 2009 4:52:43 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Well, when looking at a developed terran/desert planet, you will find hundreds of tiny ships flying over its surface.  Normal zooming won't allow you see them, but if you cheat like I just did, you can figure out what these things are...

You can clearly see the emblems of the Kortul, Radiance, Vas Frig Factory, Guardian, Krosovs, and many more.

Someone else may have posted this before, but I have never seen it.

Yea, I imagine that the devs didn't want to have to make a bunch of ships all over again. SO they just miniturized some of hte ones that they had.

 

Thier is even a few beta ships in thier.

 

That would be SWEET if someone could figure out how to extract them from the game.

If you look closely, you can also see the icon for the original, beta-era Kol Battleship. I could be wrong, but I think there are some other beta ship icons in there as well.

i think the "cheat" was actually zooming into the planet, then manually moving the camera closer.

I thought I was seeing things when I saw Kortuls flying around in the atmospheres of my planets a while back...

At least the civilians of each race are at peace...

Haha

That was a pain though...  What I ended up doing was parking a fighter right beside the planet and zooming on it and then sliding the camera towards the planet...

I have a better question. For what sensible reason did you have (400000+) creds, (50000+ metal), and (26000+) crystal?

wrong.  I had already beaten the AI...  I took the pic after the game was already over and I had maxed fleet upgrades and had used all the slots...

I don't know...  I used up all the ship slots...  The map was around a hundred planets in one system, so by the time the AI (the only one left) had 10 or so planets, I just plowed through and spend a few hundred fleet points on Destructors...  All those beams at once...

Did you scuttle all your labs? Cuz your research tab is greyed out as if you didn't have any.

No...  I had researched the entire tree...  The ENTIRE tree... even the useless ones...  (I was trying to burn some of that 300 cred/sec...)
