OK, there are problems with missing planet pictures. should I download imagemod or something ?

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

Yes, you need the image mod. It probably says that in the mod's Readme. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

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

Atrocities, the readme you linked to in the downloads section is a tad dated. It lists the date as some time in November, and has the mod Version at .9998 instead of 1.0. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Also, you need a better formations file. I can give you one that has a lot of formations from a lot of different mods out there in it (including those from TDM with the extra slots in them).

I have missing planets,and a few weapons missing, I download the files required from the image mode page.Started a game set up/full tecks / Federation /expanded teck. But when the game started?,Some of the planets & 3 weapon pics are Missing?,NOTE; if i right click on the planets or weapon pics it shows?, I need help THANKS.

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

You have to change NewPlanets.bmp to Planets.bmp, NewComponents.bmp to Components.bmp, and NewFacilities.bmp to Facilities.bmp. The Image Mod has a clear Readme in it that explains all of this.

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

I've finally had some time to play around with the mod, and some of the things I would recommend are adding a few more specialized weapons or components for each race and re-arranging some of the ships to match better with their intended sizes. I have some images you might be interested in using. Just let me know!

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

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

Kwok, your ship recommendations are very important to me. Please post them. If you have images that will work, please let me know. I will have to give you a alternate email for large downloads.

I had planned to add more components, weapons, and facilities as the mod progressed. I wanted to start the mod off with an equal footing for all the races. I have many more ideas for the mod, but wanted to be sure that people had the chance to play it and give recommendations.

At this point, any recommendations for weapons, componets, facilities are welcome and incouraged.

The mod is intended to be a general trek mod, not to compete with your STNG mod that will kick *** over all other mods. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I just made the mod because I wanted to see how the process was done, and to learn. I like playing it too, and find that I make a lot of little tweaks to it each and every time I play.

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

Sorry for the long post but I hope it’s worth the read. Being a Star Trek fan I’m enjoying this mod and I think your 1.1 changes will be a welcomed enhancement. I have a suggestion that could help bring ship movement more in line with the Star Trek universe.

I’d like to suggest that warp drive should be a technology available from the beginning (or attainable within a few turns … Physics I). Without warp drive capable ships, one would not be exploring nearby solar systems. I’d like to also suggest that warp drive technology be broken into two areas of research: Warp Technology (1-6) which provides the “Warp Core” component, and a new tech area, Warp Engine Design (1-6) which provides the “Nacelle Engines.” Propulsion technology (1-8) tree provides the “Impulse Engine” component.

These three components collectively would form the basis of ship propulsion in the mod.

The Impulse Engine component (1-8) primary function is to move the ship during combat. It would generate 1 Bonus Movement point (representing sub-light movement capabilities) and (1-8) Combat Movement points. It would also carry a limited amount of “supply.” (Limited One Per Ship)

Warp Core component (1-6) primary function is to provide a star ship with energy to power its warp engines. It would carry the majority of a ships supply (1000-3500) points and generate (2-12) bonus movement points. (Limited One per ship – though the computer sometimes gets away with putting two on large ships?)

Nacelle Engine component is the engines that propel the ship. Each engine would generate (1-6) Standard Ship Movement. They carry not supply or generate combat movement bonuses. (Limited Two Per Ship)

For example, a ship with an Impulse Engine Type III, Nacelle Engine IV, and Warp Core II would have Ship Movement of 13, Combat movement bonus 3, and carry 2000 supplies.

This system would allow for a maximum ship movement of 29. If you think that’s too high, in ST:TNG, the enterprise at warp 8 can travel across one sector (20 light years) in about 7 days. This also allows for some interesting combinations. For example, the Klingons could focus on improving impulse engines for combat advantages while the Romulans could focus on Nacelle Engines for fast ships. The Federation could focus on a balance between speed (Nacelle Engines) and long range capabilities (Warp Core).

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

I see someone has been reading my treknology list!

The items that UserX suggested is how the propulsion system works in the TNG Mod, except for the warp core, which provides no movement in my mod. However, the max speed for ships in the TNG mod is 12-15 spaces, since large numbers over 20 make the combat map quite small when ships can buzz around 10+ spaces at a time as they would in userX's suggested method. I had considered a similiar system for some time before, but decided against it since it was too unbalancing.

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not really, though, I do apologies if what I’m suggesting has already been posted somewhere (or something similar). I’m aware of your mod (and looking forward to it) but I’m not familiar with the specifics of it. Anyone looking at the available component abilities would come to a similar conclusion if trying to recreate Star Trek ship movement.

You may be correct about the excessive combat board speeds. How would one create a situation where ships can travel fast from one system to another while keeping the Combat Movement low?

If you where to give the Nacelles and Warp Core "Bonus Movement", and give the Impulse Engine "Standard Movement(1)" and "Combat Movement" would this solve the combat board problem?

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

Since half of the standard movement is used to give combat speed, there is no way to keep combat speed reasonable while giving standard movement many points.

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

Actually, I'm happy to report that that is not totally correct!

Only half of "Standard Ship Movement" is used to calculate Combat movement. Extra Movement Generation is not included (and I believe neither is Movement Bonus). I've just tested a ship that ziped around the map at a speed of 21 but in the combat simulator, had a combat speed of 1.

If this is of interest to you (or anyone), contact me and we'll talk more about this. rp@telus.net

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Umm... combat movement equals strategic movement / 2, rounded up. Bonus movement is factored into it. Emergency Propulsion is not, but that would be a bad way to go about it. It is difficult and tedious to manage a fleet of ships using emergency propulsions.

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

Atrocities:

It looks like you are making some good changes in the latest Version.

Here are my recommendations for re-organizing your Federation ships.

I would exchange your Battlecruiser image (New Orleans class) and make it a Frigate, which fits in better with it's intended size. I would replace the battlecruiser with the Prometheus (currently Light Carrier). You can use the Akira as a Light Carrier since it has been described as a carrier and has a large shuttlebay in the saucer. I'm not sure what you can do with the Nebula class image, perhaps creating a new ship size around 700kT would be approriate. For the vacant escort image, I believe Ex Astris Scientia has some nice pictures of the Nova class which would fit perfectly as an escort.

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

Eh!

The "Extra Movement Generation" ability which is normally connected with the Solar Sail component does not count towards a ship's combat movement as userX stated. I think we just assumed he was referring to using a movement bonus, which definately does count towards combat movement. I guess you learn something new everyday.

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, it does count towards combat movement. Get a ship with 6 Quantum Engines and a Solar Sail III. It has 12 strategic move. It's combat move is 6. Looks like strategic move / 2 to me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

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

This is getting complicated!

It appears as though “Extra Movement Generation” is counted when calculating combat movement. Here’s the catch, if there are not components generating “Standard Ship Movement,” “Extra Movement Generation” is not counted for combat movement calculation.

For example, I have a component generating 8 points “Movement Bonus”, another generating 8 “Extra Movement Generation,” the ship will move around the map at a speed of 16 but have a speed of 0 on the combat board. If I add a component that generates any number of “Combat Movement” points, only those points will be used on the combat board. If I add a component that generates “Standard Ship Movement,” then all the points will be included in the calculation of combat speed.

With that said, I’m getting inconsistent results. Standard Movement 1, Movement Bonus 8, total ship movement 9 = Combat movement of 6???? Could “general group” value or “Ability Val 2” value have something to do with how propulsion related components work?

Maybe we should move this discussion somewhere else?

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

Kwok, thanks.

List them out including any extra class you feel would work. IE

Escort - Nova
Frigate - Steamrunner
etc.

I can make a Federation set based upon that, and still keep the current one availible for those who enjoy using it.

When I set up the Federation I did it according to my asthetic (sp) view. it was not based upon any specific method other than that.

Feel free to post your movement findings in the TNG mod discussion.

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ships are supposed to have 0 movement points of any type unless they have engines that generate at least 1 strategic movement point, generated from standard movmement point engines. Extra movement generation is not supposed to allow the ship to move if it has no standard engines.

I see no reason to move the discussion, really.

I am currently testing the latest modifications out now. I want to thank Fyron for his help, and his contribution to this mod. Thank You Fyron.

Fyron and I talked and agreed that the Borg are simply too weak in their current set up, so he came up with the idea of giving the Borg their own ships. So he designed them, and I am going to give them a whirl. If all goes well, and it should, then the Borg are going to be one tough enemy to beat. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I got a question and a few AST bugs to report.

First, how do you edit a mod without making saved games incompatable?

Second, the Borg Construction Matrix only lists one of it's abilities in it's abilities description (increase system minerals). It's other description (the one in small print on the component/facility info screen) states that it modifies planet resources instead of system. And third it doesn't function as a space yard as it's facilities.txt listing says.

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

"First, how do you edit a mod without making saved games incompatable?"

You can change anything except the racial traits file. The changes may make for some odd effects in your game, but you'll be able to continue on.

Phoenix-D

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

You can avoid most of those weird effects by adding any new components/facilities/hull sizes/etc. to the end of their respective files. The game seems to store things by position number, and this preserves the number for old items. Come next major Version, you can rearrange things into their proper positions.

I'm not sure if this works for components in the same family (i.e., adding 2 levels to ECM); it may cause problems with upgrading.

Open the AST/DATA/Facilities.txt document.
Click EDIT, then FIND, then type Borg. Scroll down until you find the Borg Construction Nexus I and high light it all the way down through the end of Borg Construction Nexus III and then paste the new files in.

BE SURE THERE ARE NO EXTRA SPACES BETWEEN Borg Construction Nexus I and the Facility above it. And Borg Nexus III and the facility below it. There should only be a single space gap.

1. Fixed error in Borg Construction Nexus I. Now will use all abilities
2. Fixed error in Borg Construction Nexus III. Now will use all abilities.
3. Removed Component Advanced Security Station I - V of Special Technology. (Redundant)
4. Removed Component Advanced Boarding Party I - V of Specila Technology. (Redundant)
5. Updated Quadrant Types, and System Types Text Document with Fyrons Latest Q mod update.
6. Made minor corrections to Neutral Race HTML viewer.

Strangely enough, the C. Nexus III's had absolutely no trouble building even with Org and Rad con rates of 0 for the planet.

Actually, that is a valid system for Space Yard Expansion Projects. The upgrades leading to a 2nd, 3rd, etc. SY should not add much individually, maybe 250 to 500. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Umm, really? I was getting about 40k in each material til I upgraded to the broken C Nexus III.
Think I'll hit 70k when I patch it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Also, problem in the AI. Every AI fighter I have seen so far uses a DUC cannon that has no attack. FromMy guess is it's using a mount that reduces it's range to 0.

I think we also needa get on Shrapnel to retain filenames. Not that I don't respect and admire the free mod/misc file hosting hehe
