About fighters and Carriers, do we need them in the game?


(1900)

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Only for races that make specific use of them in the Star Trek universe.

I like the shuttles, but I remember in the Last episode of DS-9 that they used fighters--but thats cannon, shuttles are fine)

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

ello again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I cant say much as to game balance as I'm still awaiting it but Fighters dont really feel like Trek to me, tho DS9 was my favourite http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Tho I thought your shuttle Idea was a good replacement as long as it does not go overboard (According to my reading fighters in un-MODDED SEIV are pretty effective in combat).

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I found some information about the Space Monsters aspect, Atrocities.(Devnull MOD Version.)

* Space Monsters (This is an attempt to add Space Monsters to SE4 by modding. The Space Monsters are basically just a normal AI. However they do have their own tech tree with special hulls, components and facilities. They do not colonize and expand their empire, but operate from hidden invisible home planets.)
Please note, the Monsters form an incredible challenge in a game (the AI is highly offensive, and the monsters have some nasty abilities). Use with caution in multi-player games, as they can (and have) completely wiped out starting empires.

It seems to me that if the Space Monsters and similar items are going to be added, some special smoke & mirrors, among other things, may have to be added. However, the pay-off may be very significant if done right.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I am running into a problem. In my current test game everyone that I have encountered has declared war upon me. I am in 5th place playing against 5 AI races, and the rest of the 20 are neutrals.

Of the four neutrals I have encountered, only one is an ally, the others have declared war upon me.

I have encountered the Federation, Klingons, and Ferengi and they all have declared war upon me.

I have honorable selected as demenior, so I am confused as to why the AI's are being so hostile.

Do any of you know of a way to prevent instant hostilities? What files would I need to mod, and in what way would I need to mod them?

Thanks.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Beta Testers, 1.5.9 is ready for play testing if your up for it. Check you email for the link to download it.

Also please read the email and if you feel like it, please respond to the questions.

The latest patch does include all of the new facilities so you won't have to download them seperately.

The upload should be done by 4:30 am PST

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I remember playing a couple of games with the Devnull Mod and it was a bLast defending against the random encounters. Can't remember if the TDM utilized this as well. This would be a great idea for the STM mod.

This is just an idea but make their hull designs all different according to ship size. "Probe" is a destroyer, "V'Ger" a battleship, "Nexus" a dreadnaught.

I can't quite remember how the Devnull Mod made these work, but it was effective. Just substitute the monster images with Star Trek images and rework the monster components a bit to add more zing.

Or instead of ship damaging weapons for all the monster AI creation files incorportate the Stellar Weapons or WMD for them, nebula makers, planet destroyers, warp point openers or closers. Is there a weapon that can effect population moral. Organinc plague weapons ect...

Another idea for the monster AI would be to have their research focus heavily on intelligence so they could drop those nasty intelligence projects on empires at random.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Space monsters need to be immune to intel projects, as if they are not, you could quite easily capture their HW with PPP, or make it riot and rebel, or something else nasty. So, they can not do any regular intel, as they need a horde of intel points for CI.

Oh, and AT, I forgot to mention that you need to give them their special CI project as well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I would patch SEIV to the latest 1.91 patch.

Then get the latest Versions of inage mod and load these into your vanilla (base) SEIV folders.

get and load STM 1.51

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I've noticed something odd in the game I'm playing now. I'm using Gold 1.91 and STM1.511, and the game is a team mode game with 7 hard AIs, no neutrals, vs me in a "plain" huge galaxy.

I am playing as the Borg, my enemies are the Vadwaur, Federation, Ferengi, Tholians, Sheliak, Romulans and species 8472.I have only seen and engaged the Feds, Vadwaur, Ferengi, Sheliak and the Romulans.
About 30 turns ago I captured some mine-laying ships, and i thought I would trick the AI into sending some mine-clearing ships so that I could capture them and clear their mines in return. Well, it worked. And it's still working. The AI hasn't stopped sending mine-sweeping ships through the wormholes (even after all the mines were gone and my forces were not there anymore) and is only building those ships. Has anyone else noticed this? Oh - my forces are through the wormholes and already attacking them, yet there's no real buildup of anything other than mine-sweepers.


There are a couple other oddities too: both the Romulans and the Tholians didn't expand. The tholians only have 10 planets (we all started with 3), while the Romulans only have 28. I haven't been able to reach them yet... It's only in the Last 50 turns that I've gained the upper hand battling the 3 empires that surround me.


In all fairness though, this is a great mod. I'm just hoping these are minor things that can be/will be/are fixed

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Romulans and Tholians are Xenophobic races, they will not expand like the other races. Also an AI starting point will effect its ability to expand.

The Minor races, (Hirogen, Gorn, Kazon, Son'a, etc) all share the same AI files so they will expand and react simularly.

In an even playing field with settings set to medium and each race using its 5k EMP file, they will ALL expand well and be very difficult to beat. I do not use cheats and I recommend that you do the same.

The best AI race in the end has typically been the Klingons. The Borg a tie with the Cardassians. The federation and Ferengi tie, and so on.

It really depends upon the AI's starting location.

As for the mine issues, that is an issue with SEIV not the mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Ahh... well the Romulans and Tholians will soon become my favorite Xenophobic colonies http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I don't cheat either... it takes the fun out of the game. There's not much point if you have a Battlecube when they only have escorts - that's like trying to stop an avalanche with snowballs. too bad I'm only playing with the 2k EMP files, otherwise it would definitely be tougher (ad thus more enjoyable).

Thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

AI never uses racial Captains in their designs. Correct me if I wrong, but in my tests it won't.

Solution: (utilizing Captain Kwok's idea) - give AI Tag 02 ability to every Captain component. I guess it should work.
Need more time for AI testing in general. I'll try to optimize some races AI, at least 8472 and Orions. Not sure that I'm able to do it but I'll try http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Thanks.

[Edit: as well as Sensor arrays. Someone mentioned about the dual ability problem (I believe it was Captain Kwok). Now where is a tool to fix it. Thanks again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ]

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I believe you can correct the problem of the AI placing 3 arrays on a ship, by calling for just one of the abilities on the component not each of the 3 - or alternatively, call for none of the abilities and use an AI tag on it.

Edit:

However, since I believe the sensor array requires both sensors and combat support techs, I could see a minor problem if the AI researchs one of them some time before the other, that it may not design ships with offense/defense abilities depending on the ability that is called for in the design creation file. Although this can be solved by telling the Federation research file to research sensors first, and only using the "combat to hit offense plus" ability in the design creation file. Therefore, the AI would use combat sensors when they are researched, and then as soon as combat support is researched the Sensor Array becomes available and the AI will use that component instead because of its slightly better attack rating. Of course, this is just a theory. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

AI tags should work great with the Captain concept. I believe the AI doesn't care for them usually, because there bonuses aren't as good as dedicated components. Of course this is perfectly reasonable, as Captains were intended as "bonus" type components.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Nope. You do not want to use that ability. You want to use the sector - sight obscuration ability. If the planet is cloaked with an actual cloaking facility, it will be unable to build ships. Just go through Devnull mod and copy everything over from each file that requires Monster techs. The stuff should be at the end of every file. I have 0 doubt that Rollo will give you permission to use the monsters. Just email him. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Atrocities,

Please expand on recommending the galaxy size and type (and other settings)for the best game against the AI, insofar as you know.

I tend to play with the +5K files, Tech expensive and AI set to hard with no advantages set. I also eschew the use of Intelligence for other than defensive purposes. I am not sure I even know any "cheats".

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Well the moment of truth is upon me.

Well I discovered something that the BETA testers for SEIV should have discovered and had fixed in the Last patch.

Ok now that we do not need to have standard classification in our ship sets, (before if you did not have them the random ship display during race set up would error you out) I set up the Monsters to use custom ship names.

When I start to set up the monsters, I get to them on the race selection menu and ERROR. No battleCruiser image. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif Oh for the of GOD people!

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

More Monster ideas:

V'Ger - vast living machine prope, formerly of Earth, trying to learn all that is learnable. (Huge subverter weapons + planetary bombs)

Whale Probe - Huge probe whose energy signal disables all power sources and disrupts planetary climates (engine & weapon killing + climate killing)

Nomad - A relatively small malfunctioning probe, also formerly of Earth, that seeks out new life and new civilizations and "sterilizes" them. (big time energy weapon)

Space Amoeba - Giant living space blob that eats starships for breakfast

Lazarus Ship - Time traveller from the future engaged in a battle with his antimatter counterpart. Steals dilithium (kills engines)

Maverick Planetoid - A huge planet sized ship is malfunctioning and crashes into planets (massive planet damaging warhead)

Rogue Prison Ship - A La SS Botany Bay. Carries frozen criminals who just want to steal a ship and live normal happy lives. Slow, but carries boarding parties.

Antimatter Cloud - Living antimatter cloud devours planets for breakfast

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I have seen the AI use Captains, but Kowk and I already discussed giving them all AI tags. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

As for fixing the sensor issue, well that has been addressed I hope. I retarded the Fed sensors a tad and did something else but I can't remember what.

We will see in the latest Version how they play out.

ALSO

I do want to add space monsters. I need to understand the basic's. I can pirate the concept from D mod, however I need his permission. Second, I need to understand how they function and how to "hide" there planet. This may mean that I will have to add a planet cloak ability.

I understand that Space Monsters DO NOT have colony tech, have excellent Counter Intel, and do not do intel. They are powerful and have superior resource design and access to quantum reactors witch I will have to add to the mod as a special component.

Any whoo the ideas for space monsters are as follows: (Please offer more if you know of them):

Calamarain - Gaseous lifeform that hunts for your ships. (Physic Weapons)

Combat Drone - They just keep coming. (Energy Weapons)

Edo Guardian - Not that this is really much of an enemy. (Temperol Weapons)

Gomtuu - A lonely, suicidal sentient starship that just is looking for a place to die. (Gravity weapons)

Tarrellian Ship - One of the worst and the easiest to get rid of. (Plague Weapons)

Crystalline Entity - Very Nasty bugger. (Crystal weapons)

Day Of the Dove - Not very nice - (Physic weapons)

Dooms Day Machine - Says it all - (Wave Motion Gun set on ultra high with good armor)
