What's new with Se4 Trek?

[Magnum357]

I'm still here! Just been busy for the past month working extra hours (Phew!). Got a little more spare time now. I'm still working on a "SE4 SFC" mod. I plan to make it pretty different then most other peoples Star Trek modes. For example, I'm going to try to make it pretty close the SFB/SFC game mechanics (at least as close as I can get SE4 to understand it) but it will have some slight differences aswell).

Right now, I'm working on a way to implement "Crusise Missiles" into SE4 that use up "Ammo" instead of Supplies. I plan to make a new unit (or just replace one of the Fighter Units) an basically make it a "Ramming Fighter" that attacks ships. Unfortunetly, I don't think it will work as well as I had planned. I doubt I can make the AI understand to make units like this and from the tests I have implemented, its kinda hard to control the actions of the Cruise Missiles (aka. Ramming Fighters) to attack the particular targets you want. Also, completely revamped the Weapons Mount option. Instead of creating bigger mounts for weapons, it is used now in an abstract form to design "Firing Arcs" for you ships. You ships will still be able to fire 360 degrees, but now their will be penalties for some weapons that have a narrower firing arce the others that have a wider firing arc.

Anyway, just a few things I have been trying to work on in my spare time.
