Also, not really a bug, but more of a question, why are all cargo storages 51 kt, or 71 kt etc ?
All cargo storage has 1 kt excess it seems.

If your refering to the Ferengi or 8472 it is to prompt the AI to think they are better so it will use them.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - 1.9.0.2 Update Released

The cargo storage the pirates have are also like that.
Cargo bay I has 51 Kt of storage (I'm not further than that yet but prolly the II has 71, etc)

I'd like to raise a question about Weapons Destroyers and Reload Disruptors. Imo, they're overpowered.
Weapons Destroyer I(IV): 20(50) dmg @ 6(8) range, +30 to hit, 5 reload. At first lvl it's able to destroy 2 unmounted guns. You can't protect your ship against it. High offense bonus make it difficult to miss.
Reload Disruptor I(IV): 20(50) dmg @ 6(8) range, +30 to hit, 5 reload. Very powerful. At first lvl it can "turn off" ship for the most part of battle. Also high chance to hit. And master computer is the only cure. But they usually come into play much later than reload disruptors (which only require Focused Energy Weapons 2 to be availiable).

Q: what's your view on balance of these weapons?

I can reduce the Hit Bonus by half to 15%.
Increase the reload time by 1
And lower the damage by 20%.

Do you think this will help balance them out?

What about this layout:
Weapons Destroyer I/II/III/IV: dmg = 10/20/30/40 at range 2/3/4/5 with weapon modifier 5/10/15/20 % and change Vehicle type from Ship\Base to Ship\Base\Sat.
Reload Disruptor I/II/III/IV: dmg = 5/10/20/30 at range 2/3/4/5 with weapon modifier 5/10/15/20 % and change Vehicle type from Ship\Base to Ship\Base\Sat.
Reload time = 5 for both.

Suggestion:
It's only logical that the small portable pirate spacedock evolves together with the big non-portable one (relatively speaking)

you could make the small one 300, 350 and 400 which would be exactly 1/10th of the big one.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - 1.9.0.2 Update Released

I have noticed some weird things as the Klingons in the QConflict game. It uses 1.7.2, so these may have been addressed, but here they are anyways:

When I upgrade a ship with a ram scoop, sometimes that ram scoop is turned into 2 warrior combat sensors.

When I upgrade a ship with a warrior combat sensor, sometimes it turns into two warrior combat sensors.

I don't have on hand the exact situation, but it is reproducible for any given ship that is affected by it. I noticed it primarily because my upgrades suddenly started giving me "components too big for this ship" errors...

Thanks,

Alarik

SO what your saying is the Pirates need a Shipyard component? I thought about this, I did, but did not include one. If I did it would be at the end of the component list hidden away. Its a good idea though but honestly the pirates already have more superior components and such than the other races. At this point I would say I like the idea but really need to get some feed back from others as to whether or not we really need to give them their own unique shipyard component.

So comments on this topic are welcome.

I have not seen this happen before. They are completely differant components and have distinctively differant purposes with differant family numbers. Now if this is happening, it must be caused by something that I have not yet identified. I know that with the latest Version, 1.9.0.0 (A fresh install is recommended) I have not heard of this problem occuring.

So I would say that it is a problem caused exclusively in the 1.7.2 Version. But never the less I will keep an eye out for simular problems in 1.9.0.6 after its release.

Thanks for reporting it.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - 1.9.0.2 Update Released

Change 8472's Biokinetic and Telekinetic Torpedoes to different weapon families. Telekinetic torps are not always better that Biokinetic torps, and it's annoying to turn off "only latest" to pick a couple of biokinetic torps.

Tachyon Projection Cannons I-V are affected by Fusion Beam Mount. Hard to tell, whether it is right or wrong. It happens because of the same comp family of these 2 weapons (2010).
At the same time description for Tachyon Projection Cannon and Ionic Disperser says "Use the Weapons mount for this weapon". So I guess it should be some separate mount for these 2 kinds of weapons?

Satellite mount Q.
From revision.txt: "5. Fixed Satellite Mount now works as intended."
So, how is it intended to work?
Is it a general purpose mount for all type of components, or else it's for weapons only (as now)? In the first case Weapon Type Requirement must be set to "None" (like in Drone Mount).

My 1905 beta has Small Pirate Dry Dock component already. And it's in the end of component file. The specs are: size=100kt, construct with 300 min/org/rad, repair 1 comp. So no new comps required. Also you can add high Resource Reclamation ability to this component, so pirates can quickly acquire resources from captured ships.
