The Star Trek Mod - v1.9.7.5 (Oct 07)
 

<font color="red">http://www.astempire.net/startrek/we...comm-badge.gif Offical Star Trek Mod Web Page</font> - ALL NEW

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE FOLLOWING:

The Star Trek Mod is a mod of SPACE EMPIRES IV therefore it must follow the physics of this game. The Star Trek Mod is not a STAND ALONE GAME. It is limited to the physics and restrictions of SE IV, thereby many elements of the mod that would be considered as Star Trek Cannon, cannot apply. IE true warp drive, ship sizes, weapons, and star trek acting AI. Albeit I have tried, with the help of many fine people, to simulate as well as we can, a true star trek environment for our game play pleasure.


Star Trek Mod -= FORUM =- at SE.net

PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION FILE -= LINK =-

Also if you are updating any Version of the Star Trek mod before Version 1.9.6.0 - DO A FRESH INSTALL OF 1.9.7.3 FULL and then update to current version if applicable. Updating from any Versions prior to 1.9.7.0 will cause errors and problems.

<font color="blue">If for any reason you get an error that a back ground bmp will not load, download FQM Deluxe and copy over all of the system images to your base systems folder in your space empires iv directory.</font>

Be sure that you have installed the latest Image Mod Packs. Planets, Components, Facilities, Events, and Combat or you might get a scan line or other type of error.

I would like to get input on what things need addressing for a final update for the Star Trek Mod.

As it stands now, the only suggestions I have are to work on the Romulan AI, adjust the cost of some facilities and components for races like the Breen, 8472 and a few others.

Any suggestions that have to deal with the Ai and or minor tweaks or bugs would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Check your astmod mail account. I sent you some files.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Thanks.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Increase the strength of pirate trait capturing ability. I mentioned that a while ago. As it stands now, each race is capable of EASILY defeating the capturing tech of the pirates. Please make them stronger. I always wanted to board a borg cube http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
Additionally i think dominion polaron beams are a BIT to strong, using the dominion mount they can do good damage and a high range using lowlevel-tech.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Thanks Ragnarok-X

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

make the federation weaker http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Yep, especially the armors of the federation. If i may remember right, than the most advanted fed armors can hardly be damaged by anything except torpedos since they have a very high negation ability.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

The armor issues have been addressed by Captain Kwok.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I don't have any complaints. Just curious as to when the update will come out.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I will be taking my time so I suspect it will be out in a month or two.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Cool beans. Sounds like you might be playing Santa Claus this year, giving out those must have toys for us good children http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

First of all, bear in mind that these comments apply to the 1.72 edition of STmod... I've never played 1.75 and you may have addressed some of these concerns already in that Version http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I would like to see my custom warhead pics used for the warheads, seeing as you do have multiple damage types for your warheads and you can't tell them apart visually on a mine design. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif The pics are in the Imagemod.

Also, while this might be a major design decision that you don't want to implement, I personally think impulse-only ships should be slower than they are in STmod - I know having warp ships travel 1000 times faster than impulse ships is impossible in SE4, but 3 times times faster might be doable instead of the current ~1.5 times faster? (Maybe warp cores could be scale mounted, too?)

I also think the bussard collectors and ramscoops provide WAY too many supplies for their tiny size and low tech requirements - currently it's possible to make starships practically self-sustaining without consuming any noticeable amount of tonnage, rendering supply depots useless... or did you intend that to be the case, given that starships were often sent on "five-year missions"? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Thanks Ed.

I have not yet had the chance to meet with CK but he has a new propulsion system that we will be using.

The warheads are no problem, I will be happy to do that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I will look at the BC and other and see if they need to be tweaked. The idea was to provide a ship with some supplies each turn, but not enought to keep it out in space forever. The supplies generated should be lower than the supplies used, however setting that standard is nearly impossible to do.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Annoyance (not a bug): 8472's ConVersion Complex and Borg's Drone Maturation Chamber have Facility Family := 34, which is the same as generic Population Growth Facility family. It causes these racial facilities to "upgrade" to PGF, then total uprade is performed (in Construction Queues window). Very annoying.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Will fix, thanks Aiken. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Nice indeed, sounds like a perfect time for the kazon to take control of the known galaxy.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

This all looks very good--thanks alot. Any chance for some improved AI? I know it is hard to do but any improvements are welcome. Also maybe look into the cardassians--in a few games I have played they are still using DUC's--(forgot the modded name) at a very high level. They also colonize like crazy--heh.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Thanks Imperial. The AI is more or less optimized for Higher player settings. When left on low setting they tend to keep using the weaker weapons.

I do plan on working on the AI though. Mainly the Romulans. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif But all will be addressed to some degree. Hopefully I can improve them.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Possible bug -
I just noticed that in my game (1.7.5) the Federation (TMP) are using Drone Launchers III instead of cargo holds on thier Colony ships! Also the 8472 are using them for thier transports as well.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Thanks. I will look into it. Might be a storage requirment. If the TMP are doing it then it is likely the Federation is doing it as well.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I am looking for a few people to help test the latest changes to the mod. If your interested, please email me.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Say, any chance of getting all those component/facility descriptions fixed up? You know, like the Ferengi Small Anti-Proton Beam having the stock Meson BLaster description?

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Naturally it is. The Ferengi are trying to mis-represent their capabilities. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I will redo them as I go. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Thanks Ed.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Any takers?

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Here is an update:

I am still looking for a few people to help test these changes. If your interested please email or PM me.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Have any of you seen the HELP files included with the Adamant Mod by Fyron? For the most part that is a cool addition to any mod and I would like to include one with the final Version of the STM.

If any one has any skill at all for making nice looking informational web pages, please let me know. I could really use the help in setting up the HELP pages for the Star Trek Mod.

Art work is welcome too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I'll give it a go...you need a start from the bottom?

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Speaking of misrepresenting facilities, doesn't a "Spaceport Depot" sound like it would combine the functions of a spaceport and a supply depot, not act as an uber construction yard?

(So how many times is the STmod going to die off, anyway? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif)

edit: 150% construction for 1500 points??? What if you take that AND the 125% construction trait? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

and the Unlucky and Very Unlucky traits seem to provide too many points, given the rarity of events in SE4...

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Good point Ed. Duh. Will adjust.

I will send you the files soon mottlee. Mainly I am just testing the new features and the current concept for the propulsion systems.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

So to start with all tech?

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

<font color="brown">Beta Testers for Update </font>

Please do the following:

1. Copy your Star Trek Mod folder
2. Rename your Star Trek Mod Folder to: Star Trek Mod 176
3. Download the Data Files for Version 1.7.9
4. Unzip the file and copy to your Space Empires Folder. You should be asked to over write say YES. If not, then you have not followed the directions correctly.
5. Read the BEFORE YOU PLAY text file.

<font color="blue">(READ YOUR PM FOR DOWN LOAD INFORMATION) </font>

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BETA TESTING UPDATE

Please either manually load EMP files or just choose one for youself and allow the Game to generate random players. I need you to play and report any issues with the new BORG MONSTERs, new armor settings, new components settings, new weapons settings, and the tenative new propulsion system.

Suggestions are very helpful from ideas for improving descriptions to what does and does not work.

The new propulsion system is a tad differant from the old one in that there are only five impusle engines and they only give combat movement and supply storage.

The Warp Core I - IV generate additional movements.

The Warp Nacelle generates Standard movement points.

So on most designs you will want to have at least 2 impulse engines, 1 warp core, and 2 warp nacelles.

The AI currently does not use Impusle engines, but beings how the Warp Nacelle generates 2 standard movements this should not be a big issue.

Please play the game on any settings you wish. For the best game follow the Before You Play instructions. Good luck and thank you.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

So add more events and make them more frequent!

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Starting from tommorow I'll have some time to test new STM build. Please send me a link to the patch and contact email there I should send feedback.

PS: PM doesn't seem to work for me (some apache errors). Drop me a letter to: aiken $ fromru * commmmm.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

So far, Borg Monsters, Bases w/ mine sweeper comp on them, ships w/no supply comp on them...in 3 turns, PM DOA!

DS-9 ships w/no warp core= no movement

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Aiken, the PM system on the forum seems to be having issues.

I will send it as soon as I can, but could you send me your current email? Thanks.

Mottlee, thanks, there are still some AI's that may not have been update. I will check them. The Borg Monsters worked well for me, I am curious as to why they are not working for you. Could you send me your save game file?

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Mottlee, I figured out the problem with the DS9 set. I don't have it. I will add to the file and update the AI once the AvP is done scanning my system.

Still looking into the Borg Monster issues.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Have noticed that ships do not use supplys as fast as some others SO this may not really be a problem

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Mottlee, I think I know what the Borg Monster Problem was. I forgot to change the images for those components. I just started a new game with High AI Diffuculty and Medium AI Bonus and by turn 5 the Borg Monsters were producing leathal ship designs.

I lost two games in a row the AI on the recommended settings. Thats was surprising.

There are 2 almost identical racial traits: Advanced Storage Techniques (cost 1000, +20% planet space) and Miniaturization Experts (cost 1000, +25% planet space). I suppose one of them should be removed.

Oooops, thanks Aiken, will fix.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

1. Racial troops tech do not require racial tech, so they are seen to all races. Minor annoyance.

2. I think it would be fair to make Pirate Race tech starting from level 1, not 0 as now. The problem is that now Pirates should scrap all their research facilities and SY on the homeworld and build racial ones to get some advantage. Or else give Pirate Research Center and Pirate Docks the same facility families as generic Research Center and SY. Then they'll be able to upgrade Homeworld RCs and SY as soon as they research Pirate Race tech 1.

3. Pirate Colony Ship has a Engines Per Move requirement of 10. Since Warp Nacelle provides 3 standard movement point you need 4 nacelles to achieve system speed of 1. But due to reduced tonnage for Pirate Colony Ship there will be no place for warp drive. So their colony ships will be always moving at speed 1 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Is it feature or just an oversight?
If this is not a feature then change Engines Per Move for pirate colony ship to 9, then 3 nacelles + warp drive will fit the colony ship perfectly.

edit: fixed 1.
