Default Re: Fleet Error using shipsets?

Actually the problem is not the emp file. That seems to be ok. It is in the syntax(spelling or phrasing) in the actual AI.txt of the shipset. Just open the appropriate file ( in this case the AI fleet settings.txt of the shipset) and change the 'fleets Default Strategy' from 'maximum firing range'(or whatever the error is) to 'Maximum Weapons Range', capitalization is important too.

Other errors have been reported in the DesignCreation.txt as well. Mainly every instance of 'Phased-Shield Generation' must be changed to 'Phased Shield Generation'(no dash), 'Combat To Hit Add' to 'Combat To Hit Offense Plus', 'Combat To Hit Dec' to Combat to Hit Defense Plus'. (capitalization is important here too.)

Mainly they changed the wording of things from 1.3 to 1.35 , don't know why but most older shipsets will generate a few errors due to spelling/syntax now. The beauty is that some of these errors were there b4 but now the program actually reports them so we can correct them.

Any other problems? Just ask
