STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion

[DeadZone]

an idea, how about removing all of the original SE:IV technology and components cos I mean, capital missles and depleted uranium shell in star trek!? I think not, or at least not in the time-period of which is being covered by the mod
And have the impulse engines give minimal movement, so, at the beginnin your ships can only move 1 square wit impulse, and possibly only 2/3 extra wit warp.
I think that would be better
Also, have it so u must have a structural intergrity field (I think this is posible, Im not sure)
And how about take out carriers, after all ST doesnt have fighters, they have shuttles, wit which (tho the game will see them as a fighter) have it so normal ships can only have 1 or 2 shuttles max (ie. up the size of the hulls and up the weapons to compensate)

Thats it for now, tell me wot u think

I noticed the entry for energy stream weapons in the tech area data file. I don’t think it should have a racial area number.

Name := Energy Stream Weapons

Maximum Level := 5
Level Cost := 5000
Start Level := 0
Raise Level := 2
Racial Area := 5
Unique Area := 0
Can Be Removed := True
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Physics
Tech Level Req 1 := 2

TNZ I think that the Federation are the only race use this, therefore the Racial Area 5 is needed. I might be wrong, but I am sure I am not.

Good catch though.

Enterprise uses Capital Ship Missiles. And the General AI has got to have something to use for weapons. I could name the DUC Lasers or something, but why?

We did this for the AST mod and it works well, but given Captain Kowks design for the mod, this propulsion model does not work. The larger the ship the more engines it takes to move.

Believe me I have been trying.

You can remove them when setting up your game. The technology to turn off Carriers is available. They were left in the mod because many people like them and wanted them. To accomodate them I made them a removeable technology.

The idea I had behind this is (in theroy) once you've gotten to the more larger ships you should (again, in theroy) have the more powerful engines, I would think that it would work, if not, then just put a torpedo thro my hull, lol

DeadZone, if you can get the system to work good, post it. Many of us would love to have it.

Oleg, what was wrong with the other set? They all look good.

PCP, You should ditch all but the Combat captains.

Hey Atrocities,

I had a suggestion that vastly improves the computers player expandation rate. Include for all computer player the charaction "Ancient Race".
I have tried it out for four games and the computer players all expard outside they homew section within a short period of time.
I have to keep pushing my own expand just to keep up with some of faster expanding computer races.
My Last game I was playing, thought that I was finally ahead of all the rest of the computer players, until I attacked the Borg. That was a bad mistake. Four turns later they counter attacked with thirty battle cubes, god it was ugly. There was no stopping thirty mean nasty battle cube deployed in double battle line. Each battle cube had a shielding of exceed of 1300 points, 12 x point-defense cannons and total beam striking power of 5000 points. I also noted that they battle cube had two warp engines per ship, is that correct? Hot damn, that made them very quick at a battle speed of 12, couldn't play my old game of hit and run.
