Spelling errors in 1.9.0.3:

- Organic Drive I-X. Says "Add 2 Impusle Engines. Should be "Impulse"
- Organic Hyper Drive I-III. Says "Add 2 Impusle Engines. Should be "Impulse"

(These two techs are 8472 racial components)

Other Errors:

- Organic Drive II has a supply usage of 2. This seems wrong since Organic Drive I has a supply usage of 20, and Organic Drive III has a usage of 30. You probably meant for the OD II to use 20 supplies instead of 2.

More Spelling errors in 1.9.0.3:

- Warp Core I-X. Says "Add 2 Impusle Engines" Should be "Impulse".
- Quantum Singularity Drive I-X. Says "Add 2 Impusle Engines" Should be "Impulse".
- Borg Warp Drive I-X. Says "Add 2 Impusle Engines" Should be "Impulse".
- Transwarp Drive I-III. Says "Add 2 Impusle Engines" Should be "Impulse".

Sorry for not collecting all the bugs I've found into one post, but I kinda just posted them as I encountered them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif . Here's a couple more, and the Last for the night.

- Biokinetic Ray I-X. Description says this weapon is "less accurate", but has a +5 Accuracy bonus in the Abilities list.
- I encountered the Federation, but the message I got said I encountered the "United Federatio of Planets". Need an "n" on the end of "Federatio". This is probably simply a tiny error in the .emp files you included in the mod, this is when using the 5k .emp files that came with the mod.

Hope these help! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

For those of you who have not yet seen all of the new ship renderings, well here ya go. I espeically like how the Kazon and Son'a turned out.

I am very happy with all of the sets in fact, but I would have to say at the moment, the Kazon most appeal to me.


Species 8472
The Andorian
The Borg
The Breen
The Cardassian
The Dominion
The Ferengi
The Gorn
The Hirogen
The Kazon
The Klingon
The Romulan
The Son'a

Please post which sets you like or don't like. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I am very very very proud of my work here. All of the sets have a nice smooth look to them with a degree of professional quality. Or at least that is how I look at them. Forgive me if I seem a bit arogant, I'm not trying to be, I am just very happy with how they all turned out. They have surpased my expectations and I am in awe of them. I am very very pleased with my work and I sincerely hope that those of you who care are as well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

EDIT:
I might even release a few of these sets as non trek sets. Change the race portrait and such. I am just amazed that I was able to pull this off better than I had ever expected. I am in awe of the work and just cannot believe that I actually did it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I will work on the Vaadwaur and Vulcan sets now. I figured them to be easy, but they are not turning out that way.

Aiken December 9th, 2004 06:31 PM

Re: The Star Trek Mod - 1.9.0.2 Update Released
 
AT, thank you for this savegame you gave us. I never had enough patience to play big long game. There are some problem AI designs, but these are later (need some time to gather my observations). But there are several things I'd like to post right now.

1. Warp Nacells mini-images have a visual glitch - thin white bar on the left (guess this is an image mod problem). It only appears in ship design window for some reason.

2. [AI related] ECM V vs Sensor Array III: since Sensor array provides better defense bonus, AI will not use ECM V in its designs. You could consider either boost ECM defense bonus or reduce Sensor Array defense bonus to allow full set of defensive utilities on AI ships.

3. [AI related] Remove Scanners tech from the AI_Research file. This tech is useless for AI, and just wastes its research points. Also it will be possible to use independent Generate Points Intelligence call for Sensor Arrays then (to avoid confusion with CS/ECM).

4. Question about Sensor Array tech reqs:
Name := Sensor Array I
...
Tech Area Req 1 := Combat Support
Tech Level Req 1 := 1
Tech Area Req 2 := RaceX Technology
Tech Level Req 2 := 1
Tech Area Req 3 := Sensors
Tech Level Req 3 := 3(!)

Name := Sensor Array II
...
Tech Area Req 1 := Combat Support
Tech Level Req 1 := 3
Tech Area Req 2 := RaceX Technology
Tech Level Req 2 := 1
Tech Area Req 3 := Sensors
Tech Level Req 3 := 3

Name := Sensor Array II
...
Tech Area Req 1 := Combat Support
Tech Level Req 1 := 5
Tech Area Req 2 := RaceX Technology
Tech Level Req 2 := 1
Tech Area Req 3 := Sensors
Tech Level Req 3 := 1(!)

So current tech lvl reqs (Combat support/Race tech/Sensors lvls): 1/1/3 -> 3/1/3 -> 5/1/1
Quite illogical. Something like 1/1/1 -> 3/1/3 -> 5/1/5 will be better.

5. [AI Related] You could make some simple tweaks to AI_research file to increase the priority of some essential techs:

AI State := blah
Tech Area Name := Cargo
Tech Area Level := 1 (change to 3, else AI will use mine/sat layers for transports)
Tech Area Min Percent := 34

AI State := blah
Tech Area Name := Space Yards
Tech Area Level := 1 (change to 2, else it will stick with SY I for a long time)
Tech Area Min Percent := 34
....
AI State := blah
Tech Area Name := Cargo
Tech Area Level := 3 (change to 6, since the max level of this tech has changed)
Tech Area Min Percent := 34

NOTE:
Play By Web

Advanced Trait
PBW Advanced Research

I added the PBW Advanced Research Trait to the mod in order to speed up PBW games. That this trait is free, and I strongly suggest that it be stipulated in any PBW, EBEM, or PBIM games that this Advanced Trait be used by all or not at all. To use it when others do not is considered cheating therefore all game hosts must consider this as a mandtory rule.

NOTE:
Single Player

Advanced Trait
Mild Research Boost
Medium Research Boost
Heavy Research Boost

Now for Single Players you can set your Computer Player Bonus to low or medium and then give these trait to one or more of the AI's. By doing so you will be giving the AI a boost in research and an advantage over you. In this way you can make a more unique game for yourself by giving each race its own level for research boosting.

For example: Give the Heavy Research Boost trait to the Borg and they will research faster than you and say an AI with the Mild trait. These settings will provide for a more unique type of game play whereas the AI players will research at differant levels in stead of one size fits all.

First, thanks again Atrocities (and all who contributed) for your excellent work.
Regarding 1.9.0.4. This is a note about the AI ship design. The AI is designing better ships now but I have still found a problem. The Borg AI designed an A8 Fusion Cube with 13 Multiplex tracking devices and no shields.
I've only just started playing so I dont know if there are other problems yet.
I'm playing against hard AI with medium bonus and all research already completed. Prefer to get into the good stuff straight away http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - 1.9.0.2 Update Released
 
Hmm, I've been doing some testing and listed all the possible typos/bugs I've found (v1.9.0.4) -

1. Nacelles show up in base design. Maybe amend them to be ship only not ship/base, since they are no use for bases.

2. Amend the starting Shuttle Phaser to be Fighter only not Troop/Fighter.

3. There are TWO sets of Pirate Sheild Depleters I-V!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif (maybe tech-grid them since there are useful differences in cause & effect?)

a) 1st in file - These are based on 'Pirate Race' 1 and increasing 'Shield Damaging Weapons'.
(Quick description) Set range of 5, Damage increase from 20 to 40. +5% to hit, fire every 2 turns.
*NOTE: General Group := Borg Weapons !!

b) 2nd in file - These are based on 'Pirate Race' 1 to 5 only.
(Quick description) Set damage of 25, Range increase from 3 to 7. +10% to hit, fire every turn. (except for the damage MUCH better! Though even generic shield depleters can do more damage!) These are also the base for the Pirate Small Shield Depleters.
*NOTE: General Group := Pirate Race (NOT Pirate Weapons as almost all other pirate weapons) (This is also incorrect for pirate small shield depleters) !!

4. Pirate Tractor Beam I has the following typo (though it seems to show up properly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) -
Number of Tech Req := 2
Tech Area Req 1 := Tractor\Repulser Weapons
Tech Level Req 1 := 2
Tech Area Req 1 := Pirate Race !
Tech Level Req 1 := 1 !
Tech Area Req 2 := Pirate Race
Tech Level Req 2 := 1

5. 'Pirate Race' trait should really mention not to choose a '*Foo* World Native' trait unless they are using the 'Pirate Colony' trait. (They get the colony component and then only need a larger hull to use it even without a colony ship)

6. Pirate Research I-III are under the 'Applied Research' facility type not the 'Pirate Race' type as all the other pirate facilities are. (even the Pirate Space Dock)

7. Should the Pirate Research I-III facilities not be an upgrade for the normal research ones since even the first pirate facility is better than the Last normal one. Without this the AI will never 'upgrade' its normal homeworld facilities.

8. As for 7. but for the Pirate Space Dock I+ (for these 'Only latest' does only show the pirate Version but no option for upgrading is shown! Maybe due to being the same facility family but not being adjacent in the file?)

Well there we go hopefully some help for polishing the mod http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Space Yard Base design (for all races) is quite odd:
Size Minimum Tonnage := 1500
Size Maximum Tonnage := 5000

I think that starting tonnage for this design should be 500 kt, to allow AI to use BSY early (i'm not sure if it will use them effectively or not, though), and maximum tonnage should be limited to 1500 kt. 5000 kt BSY is pathetic, actually it's a huge and expensive shield hog.

Good point. Might be a left over from something, but should be changed. Thank you.

1.9.0.4 problems I've found so far:

- Duplicate entries for "Borg Small Shield Depleter". There is a small variance in damage amounts, but very small. They have the same family number and everything.

Spelling errors:

- Replicator I-III description says: "Component that reduces Maintenance costs by generates replacement parts" "Maintenance" shouldn't be capitalized, and you should replace "generates" with "generating".

- Biological description for minor race Takarans says in part: "their skin is a dull bluewish color" Should be changed to "bluish". Also in the same biological description it says "not physically as strong as Klingons howevery they are far more intelligant." Should replace "howevery" with "however" and "intelligant" with "intelligent".

That's it for now, probably going to be more coming.

Wow, I like the new vulcan shipset http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I just wanted to mention some things that I noticed after some playing.

The specialised mine warheads such as armour skipping show that they block scans like the actual mines do but should'nt it be only the mines themselves with these ablities, having the wareheads block scans is redundant isent it?

Also I noticed that the replicator facilities keep upgrating as a monolith facility rather then the next level of the replicator facility, essentially downgrading them. Can anyone tell me how to correct this manualy for the time being, I want to upgrade my facilites but it wont let me.

Also, just a suggestion, but the defiant (heavy escort) description says its "very manuverable" but it has only a 20% defense rate, the same as the much larger desroyer class, maybe this could be upped to 30% to make alittle more sense?

Thats about it, for now. Now back to my federation http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Good suggestions.

The mine one though is nessassary so I won't be changing it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif The reason being that mines should be cloaked, all levels. A player could use this mine exclusively, IE like the pirate race, and they would want it cloaked to gain the element of surprise.

I like the suggestion for the defiant. Will use it as well as chcking out that upgrade problem. Thanks for the report. Your name has been added to the list of thank yous. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thanks

For the mines, I thought the mine itself has those ablitlies, why would the mine warehead need them too?

Also I just noticed that the small phased cannon III needs beams 6 to be available but beams tech area only goes to 5.

NOTE*** I changed the value to 5 for now so my troop and fighter designs dont get messed up, but the defualt file has it as 6 for beam weapon tech required

8. As for 7. but for the Pirate Space Dock I (for these 'Only latest' does only show the pirate Version but no option for upgrading is shown! Maybe due to being the same facility family but not being adjacent in the file?)

I am afraid that I do not follow you on these. Could you please explain it in more detail?


Well I'm not absolutely sure myself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif.

I thought that since the Pirate Space Docks and standard Space Yards have the same facility number only the Last available facility in the file will be show when 'Only latest' is selected.
In this case the Pirate Space Docks will show.

I also thought that for a valid upgrade (besides the facilities having a higher roman numeral) they had to be adjacent in the file and not separated by other facilities.
In this case there are lots of other facilities that are between them so it will not upgrade from standard Space Yards to the Pirate Space Docks.

(Well OK I only checked this with space yard I to Pirate Space Dock I so it might work for the others http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif . Oh and yes i DID have to check this in the 'Modding 101 Tutorial', since I only vaguely remembered http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif)

Just to let yo know, the borg monsters are waaaay to strong and agressive. I played a bit as a pirate lately (since there seem to be the most bugs with them) and at turn 17 I encountered a borg cube, at turn 18 the borg declared war, wiped out all my ships, and nearly destroyed my homeworld, at turn 19 I was dead.

I think it makes no sense to play against borg monsters in single, unless you're a se4 demigod http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Cooperative PvC pbw game is their habitat.

I just selected use randomly generated computer empires, one of em was them.
Anyways, more bugs to report:

Pirate spacedock I wants to upgrade to spacedock II which is essntially a downgrade, if you want to go from spacedock I to spacedock II you have to scrap and rebuild.

Also it would be nice to be able to upgrade from a spaceyard to a pirate spacedock.

Similar thing happened to me in my SP game but with the space monsters. Early in the game when I had only about a dozen ships and half a dozen colonies I suddenly came under attack by 2 unstoppable space monster ships and then 40 (yes fourty) unstoppable anti planet drones. They wiped out 2 colonies and were heading for my homeworld before I had enought and next turn took them over and selfdestructed all their ships and crippled thier homeworld so I could continue on with the game. I think I did all the other AI empires a favour too since the monsters had doomsday machines running around other parts of the galaxy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif.

The moral of this story... don't add monsters to singleplayer games if you wanna live long http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
