As to the AI files for the change to the current patch(1.35) the changes are mostly in the spelling/syntax. Savy has been changed to 'Savvy' in the General AI file, and in the Design Creations file the reference to 'Phased-Shiled Generation' is now 'Phased Shield Generation' (no hyphen), and in the 'fighter' part of the creation the reference to 'Combat Sensors' is now replaced with 'Combat To Hit Offense Plus' (it IS case sensitive).....these are the only changes I know of so far. Hope it helps.

Good.

I'll probably post it tomorrow or on Monday.

Keep up the good work.

PS Maybe you get that Starfleet museum to help you create a pre-TOS Federation fleet - I think that would be cool.

I am working on 'tweaking' the current Borg AI (just for myself right now) but if you want me to post it when it's finished I would be glad to. The current mix of missiles/trac beams just dosn't work. Esp since in the AI files it dosn't research beyond missile 1. So far they are now holding off the Rage and the Colonials (and neck and neck with my own Y'Gathian Free States!). In a 30turn game (which encountered that save game error ) they were #1. They now use a mix of APB/Trac beams with the research to back them up.

Deathstalker sure post it!
I consider myself to transfer the AI I modified for the Cue Cappa to the Borg giving them the psychic trait, because IMO that's the closest of assimilation you can get in SE IV. The boarding parties are just not a good choice. The CueCappa in my game have ships of all races, they are at war with, in their fleet, which is really fun. I am now working on the problem of ships with repair components to include in these fleets.

I'll post what I have tomorrow after I get it off of the p133 I currently play the game on (this 'new' computer is too fritzy ). I thought of a cuecappa type but the subverter just seemed too out of place. The movies had trac beams and cutting beams so thats what I used. APB/trac beams with boarding parties. So far, so good. Havn't actually seen them take over anyone but I've only played one game . And the BIGGEST problem with repair is that if you don't have the tech already researched it won't repair the componant (or never for racial tech you don't have), which is realistic but a pain.
