[Atrocities]

I am continuing to work on the AST mod. Granted it will not be as indepth as Kwok's STGN mod, but it should provide for a few hours of enjoyment and fun.

One thing I have noticed is that the AI's start off slow, then come on full. I held the 1st spot in the game until about 125 turns. Then I was surpassed by the Cardassians, The Klingons were the most competative. The Borg start off really strong, but weaken over time. The Romulans are the same as the Borg.

The Federation (STNG) came on strong and are still giving me grief. The Ferengi are as well. The Breen were the latest of the blooming AI's. BUt they have a lethal navy.

All of the AI's appear to be using the new techs. They are researching them and employing them. Some of the weapons are a tad off, and I am continuing to work on balance issues.

ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME.

I will upload the latest Version of the Beta, .9970 on Saturday. This will be a full Version inlcuding images. I figure it will come in around 17 or 18 megs. I will also inlcude a DATA file only Version.

I am currently trying to work out a bug issue regarding the neutrals. It seems that I can not get the game to use any neutral empires since the Lastest update.

Again, thanks for your support.

For those of you who have emailed me offering to help in testing the beta, thank you. I will send you the info you need once the files have been uploaded.
