<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">More than likely, but I thought the 1.91 patch was supposed to fix that. Oh well, no biggie, just wanted to let you know.

Yah I noticed that with the system bonuses as well, but i dunno how they work either http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Try creating one and making a project that has just enough then scrap it and see if the project completes maybe?

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You do not see the system bonuses in the system itself, but the point totals produced do go up on the Research screen, Empire Status screen, and Intelligence screen. This has always been the case, and has unfortunately never been fixed.

Thank you for posting about it though Dark Horse, I do appreciate it.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Actually that was my concern! The AI is building ships with mounts (the non race specific ones) thus making their ships LESS effective than they would be without mounts*


*VERY IMPORTANT*

Want a dramatically faster game???

Disable any or all of the below

Mines
Shuttles
Fighters

How much faster you ask? Well i'm in the 10th year in my game with the Borg, Last games i played were with Breen, Romulans and Dominion respectively, by this stage in the game I could come here, post twice, email people, smoke drink some coffee, watch a little TV in between turns.

Now I have about 1/3 of the time required to write this post !

BTW disabling fighters and shuttles doesnt seem to stop you or the AI from getting shuttles BUT it does seem to speed up the game. Mostly having NO mines is an amazing improvement, Also a major bonus is the loss of the countless AI build mine sweepers! Now the ai builds far more combat ships http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ))))))

At least 1/2 time between turns. I've disabled mines in my moded Version of the mod and it's very playable after 100 or so turns.

I wish I'd thought of that.
Great tip, thanks.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I just installed the 1.7.0 Version, and I;ve notcied that there are some maps with it. Perhaps they've always been there. What are these maps? Can they be used to create a "realistic" game with player placement similar to that of the series? If so, what order do I need to add the empires in, do any not go in, etc...?

thanks! The mod is simply amazing...

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

There is a readme in the MOD INFO section for all the maps, the most current being Major Systems, Different size home worlds 1.3

That is the most realistic, with the major edge to the Borg, with the Dominion and the Feds also highly placed!

Fun map!

I just wasted a few years fast building a Genesis cube with 7 Genesis III Torpedo's I was down to 1.5 years to go then it went to slow build, now I got 15.6 years left!

is 1.5 years the max for emergency builds?
