Default Re: The Star Trek Mod - 1.9.2.7.1 Deluxe *updated*

Ok this is very odd bug. It is most likely an SE IV bug and not related to the mod.

The reason I say this is because the AI is correctly designing the other races ships. I switched all of the other players to human control and verified that the AI had correctly designed their ships.

I did notice that on turn one only the Human player had ready to use designs while the other AI players did not. In order to see the AI designed ships I had to first run a complete turn before changing them from AI to human control.

What I observed is that the AI does indeed correctly design ships for the AI controlled players but since the Human player is starting the game with designs already loaded, the designs are flawed.

I was curious too see what would happen if I switched my human controlled empire to AI control. So what I did was choose a neutral AI and changed it from AI control to human control on turn 1. I then switched my empire from human control to AI control and then ended the turn. I ran the turn twice, once as the original empire to change to the neutral empire. Then as the neutral empire on complete turn. I then set the neutral empire back to AI control and set my original empire back to human control. I ended the turn and when my original empire loaded I checked my designs.

I checked "hide obsolete" and all of the flawed designs were removed. Only new, correctly designed, designed ships were present.

This told me that it had to be a bug with Quick Start and SEIV in general and not the mod.

As I stated, I checked all of the other empires and the AI is designing ships correctly.

Any ways the quick fix to over come this bug would be too do the following:
1. Choose your race and start your QS game.
2. On Turn one click on the menu and change one of the minor races to human control and set your race to AI control.
3. End the turn.
4. When your temp race comes up, end the turn without doing anything.
5. When your temp races comes up again, select menu and set it back to AI control and set your original race back to human control.
6. End the turn.
7. When your original race loads check too see if the designs are properly designed. They should be.

Let me know if they don't.
