There were final version of things that were implamented into the mod... There has not been a final mod version as of yet. Final usually meant that I want to have that version uploaded to PBW.

Or he may be royalty in disguise.

But, if he has MPD, one can sleep while the other works on shipsets.

My husband and I are playing a STM game at the present. We really enjoy the MOD. I don't plan on ousting it off the old puter' - EVER!!!! I have only played two of the various races so far. It is very exciting learning what each race has that is unique to it's particular culture. I just thought of this - maybe, if possible, it would be cool to have a text document includeed that descibes the races, a brief history, etc, so those of us that don't have every Star trek episode ever made memorized can role play if we choose to.

On STM mod issues. There seems to be a little quark when I update a Shuttle design, It sometimes converts the armor to the armor that is used by troops. This doesn't always happen and it doesn't seem to have a pattern - you know something leading up to this situation occuring. (I am using all the latest patches). Shucks, or is it the other way around .... it may be that the troop armor turns into regular armor when updated. GOSH! My faulty memory!!!! Since there is no pattern to this behavior, I can't check it out to see. Hope you can figure it out. It isn't a big deal though. It usually comes up with the warning that you can only have one componet of this type and you just have to remove it and add the right component.

And .... maybe this is not a problem but the way the AI has been programed for the race UFP. They are not friendly at all and are always attacking me. I have been the Tholians and the Andorians. Is this a built in response to the races I have chosen?

I think that's it for my issues. I only say something because you ask and want to make the game better. I think it is wonderfully done. You sure put a lot of work into it. Again, thank you and all those that contributed to it's creation.

PS: On a side note - for all those that have created MOD's and ship sets for SEIV - thank you so much from all of us untalented and lazy folks! :} You have truly made our gaming experience exceptionally enjoyable. I don't think I'll ever get bored.

Hello,

Thanks for the bug reports.

The Armor issue is one that is a bug with SEIV itself..

If I had it to do all over again the shuttle system would be completely revamped. What happened was that there was not going to be any fighters in the game, only shuttles. But people wanted to have fighters so they had to be put back in. This is when the armor bug appeared. The game sometime, mainly with AI, will ignor restrictions and often do what it pleases when it damn well pleases to do it.

The friendly AI... that is a long standing bug with SEIV in general. The political system of the game is, well its non exsitant. I believe I have them set to the friendly setting, but being a human player the other AI will always turn on you.

I would love to see Aaron fix the political system of the game over most other bugs but I doubt that will ever happen.

Any ways I am glad that you like the mod, we aim to please.
