Yes. Have normal SYs. Then, have a facility that is called a Space Yard Expansion Project. It does nothing, but is in the same family as another facility, the Space Yard Expansion. You can build Space Yard Expansion Projects on planets with a SY, and then upgrade them to the Space Yard Expansion. That way, you can get factory worlds that pump ships out like there is no tomorrow. Atrocities accidentally created such a system here with a typo. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Hummmmmmm, Thanks guys, I smell a new facility coming soon.

The idea was to allow the Borg the ability to construct ships the way they would be able to in the Trek universe.

Now I have seen the top of the moutain, and I liked what I saw. Super Factory Worlds. Eeeewww, the thought of it.

I should be releasing 1.4 in a couple of days. I have to play test it for a couple more games.

As it stands now, the Borg have increased their aggressiveness and are a pain in the arse once you encounter them. Be warned, they are a powerful race from the start of the game.

The Klingons/Cardassians are still the two strongest AI's on Medium and up.

The Federation/Ferengi do well, and use a lot of their custom components as do most of the races.

The Breen, and 8472 do very well when given a chance to expand.

The Romulan are still weak, but showing improvement with the latest general.txt tweaks, and research mods.

The Neutral Races appear to be doing quite well now. They each have one unique facility to research and use.

As far as I can tell, the minimum Neutral Races you will get with one player controlled empire is five.

For a list of the new facilities, just email me.

Sounds great. I look forward for the next Version. Keep up the good work Atrocities!

Slow down Will, you are making me look bad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Star Trek (ASTmod) NEW v1.7 (Feb-10)
 

Cap K, your mod is going to dominate the star trek mods, so don't worry about PCP making you look bad. I am sure he is just making this mod because he has nothing else to do. To do what you are doing takes time, and we all know that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Quality is above all else, what makes a mod worth playing.

Hey Will, can you do something about increasing the use of supplies by ships. I have some ships that can go a really long time without needing to be resupplied.

Also, the Ullians have an error. You need to change Uillian to Ullian in the research.txt. Just and FYI. Otherwise, very nice work. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Re: Star Trek (ASTmod) NEW v1.7 (Feb-10)
 

It appears as though there will soon be two competing Star Trek mods and most SE players will gravitate to the better one. This will be unfortunate as someone’s time and effort will be overshadowed.

One way to resolve this would be to have two Star Trek mods each with a different focus. The Captain’s mod is definitely focused on ST:TNG and DS9 (Dominion War). Atrocities’ mod seems more general, with races from all the Star Trek series. What about having one mod that focuses on Enterprise, TOS, and the movies, up to early TNG, ala “Birth of the Federation,” and the other focusing on ST:TNG and DS9?

This would allow for both mods to grow side by side without competing directly with one another and us fans could enjoy them both equally.

What do you people think?

Atrocities, what do you think?

That's a good idea.
