Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I am considering starting a email game to test out the mod.

The mod Version will be 1.2.9 and you will all have to update to it to play.

The rules would be simple:
1. Take only one Colony type - Rock for rock, ice for ice, and gas for gas
2. Take ONLY your races racial trait and any combination of other traits you want
3. No Ancient racial triat
4. Take ONLY your races culture type

Game settings would be:

Large dense Mid life (ala FQM)
1 planet start
Low tech start
5k racial points (Best to get it going)
Good starting
Good Resources
No Intel
No Weapons of Mass Destruction
48 hour turns

Max players 8

Dominion = Atrocities
Cardassians = CNC Raymond

Others are open.

If your interested, please let me know ASAP. I can probably talk to Fyron have him set up a site for us to play our turns on, otherwise tis all going to be email.

Has anyone play tested the Federation using their torpedoes? ( i've mostly been playing all sides of a game to make a scenario so far) The Fed torpedoes seem like they are very powerfull compared to the other races weapons. (which of course may be by design )

Atrocities:

If you're going to get such a game going, I'd join (if you'd have me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif )

I've never played a PBW or PBEM game before, although I have been playing SEIV Gold for a year or so now and I think I understand the basics of both PBW and PBEM. So I may have a few questions about the whole process if you let me join. Yeah, I know you might want some more 'experienced' players to join but hey, how 'bout some fresh meat to kick all over the galaxy? Let me know when you decide.

(you will be assimilated!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

EDIT: When's the 1.2.9 patch going to be available for download?

Renegade 13

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Its ready now, I am just checking out the game and waiting for any more bug reports to come in.

I do have one problem that I can't seem to figure out. Most of the races seem to stop designing ships after they reach Light Cruiser. They don't design ships larger than that.

Can any one shed some light on this?

And if you want to play Renegade 13, welcome abord, just pick a race. The game is first come first serve. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ok, thanks, I'll take the Borg. (don't know what I like about them; must be the "Resistance is futile" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

Oh, and as to your problem with the AI not constructing ships larger than Light Cruiser; the only thing I've heard of like this was in the stock game, if you chose high starting tech the AI would only design and build light cruisers for the first 10 or so turns. Don't know if that'll help you, but maybe.

WOW!!!

The work that went into this is amazing.
It looks like all the major races are different.

F…ing …. A

Great work!!!

This is the best Star Trek game ever!!! And it is only a Mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

It’s amazing what can happen when people put their hearts into it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I’m still on my first game as the Fed, and it blows the crap away… that was MOO 3
This game is more like the 4x… thing that I want…more than MOO 3…ever will be. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

And again….THANKS

PS. During a fight… when I was trying to take over a planet, I was able to kill everyone on the planet but still had to fight against the satellites… and they killed the rest of my fleet.

I was thinking that I just killed 127 million bad guys but I can’t kill these satellites.

SO..

Maybe the….. Damage Points To Kill One Population := 10
In the setting txt.... should be higher.... After all…..if everyone is dead how are the satellites going to fight back.... Who controls them if everyone is dead?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Really?? That's the Version I've been testing and I can't make them do that.

I've tied editing the vehicle size for the Fed Cruiser. If I go up to 510kt it will design it. 511kt it will only design a Light Cruiser.

While testing this I did notcie a few errors in the Fed design creation.
- The required ability for offesive and defesive bonus results in 2 sensor arrary. Since they provid both perhaps you only nee one of the abilites to be required.
- The Secondary Weapon Family Pick 1 for the feds should be 4 I think allowing torpeadoes. however they think the Photon torpeado V is the best. Do you need to modify the Quantum Torps and the other one so the AI know they are upgraded Photons?
