Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

This is the problem with both the Federation and the Romulans. Neither one will design a colony ship until about turn 22. After that they design, build, and use them quite well but its to late. The other AI's have a huge head start.

HELP.........

It appears to be a research issue, but all races start with access to Warp Drive I. So yes they have access to a warp drive, but they don't design ships to use it.

I have copied over design files from other races and still there is a wait. It has to be a research issue of some kind that the other races do not have.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Ok, it is not a research issue.

Both the Federation and Romulans both designed a colony ship on turn 21.

They were both researching warp technology 1, but neither had completed it. They were in the middle of researching it and were only researching one time at a time.

No the answer has got to lay else where.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Well this it interesting. As noted in your other thread the AI does not seem to like designing ships over 500kt till turn 21. I guess this is the same problem you saw when you said the AI wouldn't design ships bigger that light cruiser.

I just ran a test with a full tech start. The Federaion seem to design new ship every 10 years. At turn 21 the first ship over 500kt was designed. Turn 32 and other new design. (although with no new tech it was actualy the same heavy cruiser) Then on turn 41 it designed Juggernaughts.

So I guess the mod has no problems so long as any ship you expect the AI to build early is 500kt or less.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Check the maximum allowed tonnage in various game starts in the AI files.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

on the other hand, my mod allows battleships, dreadnoughts and baseships right away. that's going to severly limit any ai.

The Romulans won't design units due to a double blank line in their DesignCreation file.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I don’t know it this this happening to anybody else but the Kilingon and the Tholian are not making any units designs. I’ve already added the fixes for the Feds and Romulans that was talk about on this thread, but when I started a new game the Kilingons and the Tholians were not making any unit designs. I don’t know if this been fixed or not, so I decide to bring it up.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

They work fine for me.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I may have mess with it.
Sorry!!!!

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

This is something that I’ve been thinking about a little bit. During my Last game at around turn 100 I was getting around 100,000 research points a turn. And to research a different colony tech would have only taken me five turns. So I was thinking maybe the research cost should be raised to around 1 to 2 million research points instead of 500,000.

Or maybe have something like this

Go from Rock native to = Ice = 1,000,000 Research points.
Go from Rock native to = Gas = 2,000,000 Research points.

Go from Ice native to = Rock = 100,000 Research points.
Go from Ice native to = Gas = 2,000,000 Research points.

Go from Gas native to = Rock = 1,500,000 Research points.
Go from Gas native to = Ice = 1,500,000 Research points.

What would help me to try and duplicate the problem is if you could post what game settings you were using, and how many races you have playing. If you have a copy of the game file, that would be of tremendous help.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I just reinstall over the game and added the patch and everything else up to V.1.2.8 and I still have the same problem. And I also found out that the UCP Consortium is not designing colony ships.

If you want, I can start a new game and send you a save game file. Or any other file that you want.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

sometimes the races will not design units until they have a specific technology. Most, if not all, will design basic units from game start, but sometimes one or two will hold off.

I have play tested all races (manually selecting each race EMP) and they all appear to be designing and building units. I have also added the Construction Units file created by Rollo from the TDM mod for the UnitedFlora race. Perhpas this will add some flavor to the AI's use of units.

If not, I will remove them before I release the next Version. (1.3.0 will be out by this weekend hopefully.)

And regarding the conept for increasing the cost of research, I have toyed with that, and perhaps in a later Version we can. The idea would be to reduce the research points generated by research facilities rather than increasing the cost of items.

I would love to see Aaron design into SE V the ability of a modder to set the increase cost by % for each tech level increase. Lv 1 cost X, Lv 2 cost 20% more than Lv1 did, Lv 3 cost 40% more than Lv 2 cost, etc.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Another Minor(ish) bug report http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Just playing the game as the dominion (v1.2.8)and I reasearched 'Ship Construction' level 2 and when I checked 'Captains' nothing would be discovered! After checking the components.txt I found a problem with captains across almost all the races. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif


Name := ANY Captain/daimon/gul/nexus/plexus etc I
Number of Tech Req := 2
Tech Area Req 1 := Captains
Tech Level Req 1 := 2 (should be 1 for cap I's !)
Tech Area Req 2 := 'Race' Technology
Tech Level Req 2 := 1

The only exceptions to this are 'Federation Captain I' & 'Privateer Captain I', both have a requirement of 1.

This paticular bug has been addressed.

Star Trek Mod v1.2.9

1. Fixed Most of the Captain I had the wrong Tech Level requirement.

Thanks though, you never know when one of these things has slipped through the cracks. Without people like you and so many others posting and emailing bug reports to me I honestly don't think the mod would be where it is today.

I hope to have the 1.2.9 - 1.3.0 Version out later this week. I just want to play test it for a bit longer and see if any more bugs pop up.

Thanks.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Not sure if this has been brought up, if it has, all apoligies:

Borg Drone Repair Crew. The component for Drone Repair comes in at 50k, the normal repair component comes in at 35k... Perhaps drop the Bog Drone repair component down to 10-20k, as the borgs are all about repairing... right? Or am I missing something? As it is, there is no point in even using or researhing the Borg Repair Crew if the regular one is smaller.

Having a bLast with this mod!

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Whoops!!! Sorry about that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif

I was sure I checked to see if it was on your patch lists, must be because it was the first one for 1.2.9 I would not dream to check there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Now i was actually going to post about the Vorta Captains this time lets hope I have not done the same mistake again.

The Vorta Captains give 'Standard Movement' as an ability, this means they count towards the engine totals and they provide much less than an engine would. I was wondering if they were supposed to produce 'Bonus Movement' (or Combat Movement)instead? That way they would provide a very good (possibly too good?) bonus and not count towards the engine total.

Hmm i'm also wondering about the

Dominion Mini Phased - Polaron Beams
Tonnage Space Taken := 10
Tonnage Structure := 30!!

maybe it should be 20 as with Dominion Mini Polaron Beams (or even the size 20 non mini weapons http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

Finally techarea Dominion Torpedo Weapons has 5 levels, but there are only 4 used by the weapons themselves.

Well thats my two pennys worth. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

This latest Version will most likely foul up your save game so do the following if you want to keep your current game.

1. open your SEIV directory and right click on your Star Trek Mod folder
2. click copy
3. click in an open area of your SE IV directory and then right click and paste
4. rename this copy Star Trek Mod 128
5. Update your old Star Trek Mod folder.

The file is a self extracting and installing file. Simply direct it to your Space Empires Directroy. If you are not asked to over right files, then it has not been directed to the correct location.

I am not a smart guy, but if I can figure this **** out, then so can you. Please if you do something wrong don't yell at me. Just think about it and you will solve the problem.

I will update the web site later, after some of you have had a chance to play this latest Version and report any bugs or other issues.

Enjoy.

For the time being this will most likely be the Last update I do unless a major bug is discovered. I want to thank you all for your support and hope you all enjoy the mod.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">NO...... COME ON........ Atrocities..

I have a lot of ideas.

Like… make a mod just for the medium map setting with 16 races. And an AI research path for them. Balance and set up just for them… Were you can only play this Mod on a medium map at 16 races with 2,000 racial points… or….. something like that…….I think that will be a lot easer than doing everything.

Basically… when it comes down to it, the research is not in balance with the galaxy size.

Everything else is there. And this is by far the best Star Trek game out there ( thanks Atrocities).

I just hope that I can help to make it better.
-------------------------------------------------------- :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an example of the research imbalance.

After turn 100... In a medium seize galaxy with 16 + races I have research a new colony technology with in five turns. And the other and Last colony technology, also with in five turns. But….. to research the heavy curser ship technology will cost me almost three times more in turns….Why?

1. The answers is that the ship construction technology is set for a medium galaxy. And the colony technology is set for a small galaxy.

2. And there are to many moons for the races to inhabit in a system.

--------------------------------------------------------- :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I myself... as a Modular… suck ……. But I love to design………So please don’t let this be the Last of the Star Trek Mod.

I would really like to help out.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I fail to see how that is the case... the Colony Techs just cost 500k so it is hard to research them in the early game, that is all. Ship Construction in STM is designed to be very expensive, so obviously level 5 or 8 in it is going to cost a lot more than any other tech at level 1. A lot of high levels in tech areas (shields, weapons, etc.) end up costing more than the Colony Techs to research. I don't think raising the cost of the colony techs would be that great of an idea.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">In your opinion, sure. It is not a matter of fact, just one of opinion. Many people like the number of moons in FQM (which is built in to STM), others do not. You can always use a "classic" type map, which does not have the moons.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I am having a problem. It would appear that AI's designing ships later in the game, such as dreadnoughts, are not putting enough engines on them to give then any movement points.

They are putting the minimum number on them, but for some reason they will not add more. The ships bassically are well designed bases.

Any thoughts on who to over come this problem?

I am thinking that I might have to revamp the entire propulsion system to one simular to AST or back to standard. I would not like to do this.

The AI must be set to add enough engines to ALL of its designs to give them movement points.

Perhaps if I changed the settings in the vehicle size file so that dreadnoughts .... no that would not work because other mods don't have this problem and they have much more complicated propulsion systems thant this mod.

HELP please.

AFAIK, AI uses only "min. number of engines" when designing ships. The second number is not used at all. If you have different hulls with different number of engines, the best way is to setup separate ship design entries with defined hull size and appropriate number of engines. Take a look on Proportions or AIC design files.

Thanks Oleg, that is a great idea.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I think you guys got lucky. I'm pretty sure this change: 11. Removed Extra Medical Facilities I - III (Duplicated) will screw up some save games. Any facilites you have built that were after the removed facilities in the txt file will be wrong.

Most of the changes didn't invlove added or removing componets, facilites or vehicles so save games should mostly work. Although you might find a few invalid ship designs if your components size was increased in the new Version

Are you still looking for minor bugs?

Well I'm not sure if this is a bug. It may be intentional so this is just my 2 cents worth but it seems to me the size of of anti-matter torpeados and Photon torpeados doesn't make sense. Anti-Matter Torp V is 15kt and does 50 damage up to range 6. The photon which is an upgrade of the Anti Matter Torp extends this range to 8 however it also doubles in size to 30kt. One weapon of range 8 doesn't seem like an upgrade to me of 2 weapons of range 6.

Ay Carumba!!! There is a planet on the Star Trek Map one system from Romulus that has a mineral value of 991%. Is this intentional? It strikes me as a typo that can seriously unbalance the game play.

I was looking at the happiness data file for the Star Trek Mod. I noticed all the happiness types seem to be a bit on the angry side. So I decided to try making new ones, one for each races. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
