Re: Crew Insurrections - to powerful?

It would be nice if there was a way to vary the approximate success rate for the intel projects. You could create races that were good at stealing or spying or mis-information.
The way it is now it...

Re: whatis filler tech, exactly?

Try searching for AI research. There is a long thread where the reason behind the filler tech is discussed, if you can just find it in the 22,000+ Posts ...

Re: Upgrading Cargo?

You can only upgrade the design. Once you have built them the only way to get improved ones is to jettison them and replace them with newer designs.
I think there is a way jettison from one menu but...

Re: Devnullmod

I think external missiles have a reload rate of 30. This means they can only fire one time per combat.

Re: Modder brainstorming session

I like the idea of limited range for the fighters. It is possible to do. Fighters can be made with just an afterburner and you get no strategic move, only combat move. You have no supplies though....

Re: TDM-Modpack politics in really big game

There seem to be some races that are pissed off as soon as they meet you. I think the Rage is one of them. I have never had a game where they were friendly, cool is the best I've seen I think.

Re: Bug with Fighter Groups??

Fred,
I apologize, I gave you some wrong data. The data I gave was from my first test. It will work but the AI will put 3 cockpits on their fighters and not get the benefit of additional Sensors and...

np. Doesn't give as much variety in the fighter types but it seems to work ok in all other regards.

Re: Bug with Fighter Groups??

Fred,
Basically what I have done is removed the offense and defense to hit modifiers from the fighter hulls. I added the to hit offense and defense from the large fighters to the fighter cockpit. ...

Re: Modder brainstorming session

I think it would be interesting to have 3 engines at each level that would have the restrictions on mixing types that the bonus moves now have....

There is a work around if you don't mind editing some files. I can describe it if you like.

Re: Modder brainstorming session

Unless you can assign minus combat movement to an engine I don't think you can get fast strat/slow tac without a lot of modifications, like jimbob suggested.

Re: Bug with Fighter Groups??

It's a problem with fighters and any other unit that can stack in the same space. It has to do with the to hit modifiers in the vehicle file and the stacking. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next...

Re: Modder brainstorming session

As far as the tactical engines are concerned, if the idea is in order to get more combat moves you have to give up...

Re: Modder brainstorming session

Do the afterburners work on bases? I tried giving a movement ability to the base vehicle and that didn't work.
How did you modify the component or did you give the ability to another component?

Re: Modder brainstorming session

How about just making another Version of the top two levels of...

Re: Do Small DUCs suck?

The way fighters are now is really screwed up. The offense plus and defense plus of each fighter in the group stacks. Worse one additional multiple is added to every stack. A group of 10 small...

Re: Capturable Racial Techs

Shouldn't the intermediate tech be a racial trait tech? Then the weapons tech tree could not be researched if you analyzed a single weapon.

Re: Capturable Racial Techs

The way you have it set up seems to be a good compromise, you can only gain exactly what you steal. I like it.
To bad the AI doesn't analyize. Then you could do it to all the traits. You could throw...

Re: Modder brainstorming session

How about in addition to normal engines, tactical engines that give extra combat moves but less strategic moves and vice versa.

Re: Capturable Racial Techs
