As far as I know, the Dominion War mod changes the Federation techtree, but doesn't have Campaign missions. This means that the game tries to load the default campaign. It can load the map, the Borg techtree (because it's unchanged), the Borg AI buildlist: Then it loads the Federation techtree, but when it tries to place the ships and stations, and implement the restirctions used for that mission (for example: no buildable Sovereign), it can't, because of the altered techtree. So the game crashes.

Unfortunately there is no way to play SP Campaign with that mod. Only if you're familiar with modding and change the SP files.

Is this mod available on A2Files? If so, please provide a link.

Also helpful: the .ODF contents of the ship you're building.

Make sure you put .ODF entries in |spoiler| |/spoiler| coding, where | represents [ brackets. ]

Hi there I just downloaded SSA ships and Stations both the edited and unedited versions I followed the read me on how to make the Ships and station make them capable of be ingame items. But when I added the stations to one of construction ships when I tried play them the game crashed. So I went back to the ODF files and notice that some of them were incomplete and went to use the Federation yards to supplement the missing characters. The Game still wouldn't work right so I checked out the Ship's ODF files and they too were incomplete and went to change them using both the HP maps and the stock ships. Now my game keeps saying I need to increase the memory. And my map editor wouldn't even place the SSA ships or stations is there something I am missing?

A few things
1. "Increase swapfile size" error mostly means that somewhere you forgot about an " character in the ODF or TT files. Check the edited files again!
2. To place new ships and stations in the map editor, you have to change te editor ODFs, for example ef_comba.odf is the Federation combat ships. Of course you can add new tabs if you don't have enough slots. For this you need a new ODF (for example ef_comba2.odf) and you have to edit e_fed.odf.

Hey all I am still have trouble with my SSA ships and station to work right, I would get one ship working then go to fix another and STA 2 would crash saying I need more memory, I'd take the ship out of Tech 1 and the game still wouldn't start up. the only ships I seam to be ok with are the Miranda ships the rest just won't play ball

The error still must be in the ODFs. For example within the station odf. If a " is missing somewhere in the .ODFs or .TTs used by the game, the whole game will CTD with an "increase swapfile" error message.
