Atrocities Star Trek Mod (ASTmod) UPDATED 2-9-04

[Atrocities]

The public beta will be uploaded to the PPB (Play By Web)site sometime this evening, luck permitting. The offical ASTmod Add On Pack will also be availible for download.

The AST mod is around 20 megs, while the AST add on pack is around 10 megs.

Please read the Getting Started read-me before playing, as you will also need to install the planet, component, and facility image mods.

All suggestions and or comments, good or bad, are welcome. Just post them at shrapnel, or Fyrons forum. You can even email them too me.

Again thanks, and please let me know what you think of the mod after you have had a chance to play it.

Important

You will need to download the Fyron Q-mod v 2.0 and copy the System file from it to the Pictures folder of the AST mod. Play By Web will not allow me to upload a file the size as the Fyron has. I will resize the images and then post AST Mod P2 on Saturday.

But the mod and the add on are there for download. Just copy the Fyron Q-mod 2.o System folder to the AST mod Pictures folder and your done.

Is FQM 2.0 the deluxe Version? If so, I would recommend using Fyron's smaller Version for the ASTmod as it makes it easier to deal with, only losing a few nebula entries.

Good idea. Thanks Kwok.

Just launched a solo game, took the federation techs, and do you know what ?????

When I first build a daystrom institute 1, MY RESEARCH WAS MAX BY 10 !!!!!!

From 47000 research points, I went straight for 470000 points !!!!

Oh guys I just LOVE this facility !!!

Heeyy ?????? Whatdaya mean it should not work that way ????

[Atrocities]

I like it that way.

Seriously I'll look in to it.

The facility is set up according to the system facility.

Ability 1 Descr := Increase all research in a system by 10%.

System Computer Complex

Ability 1 Type := System Point Generation Modifier - Research
Ability 1 Descr := Increase all research in a system by 10% (only 1 facility per system effective).

As you can see, they are the same.

So the problem might have been compounded by other facilities in the same system. But in all the games I have played, even with the AI using multi daystrom facilities, there research is often equal to mine or just slightly higher, but never on a factor of 100 to 1. Can you send me your saved game file? pcpatrocities@hotmail.com

Thanks.
