Default Re: SE V Klingon Set Ready For Use

The placement of components means nothing. Its mainly cosmetic.

The firing points are set in specific locations. The ship will fire at its target using the closest firing point within that firing arc. SO if the ship is closer to the read, and within the rear gun arc, the rear gun will fire.

Note that the at times ships do fire through themselves, this is a bug from what I am told. So I tended to try and keep the firing arcs from having angles into the ships. However with the Feds, they still do it and I will need to add more firing points to the bottom of the saucers to hopefully stop this from happening.

Thank you Randal for posting, it is good to read posts that give feed back on the firing arcs and combat characteristics of the set. PS, the Romulans are almost done.

The image was just too wide to fit neatly.

Using the SEIV STM as a template shouldn't a SEV STM be fairly easy to make? And besides, the longer it takes to get a ST mod out, the more you can play with your SF using ST ships!!! ROCK ON!!!!

Honestly it wouldn't be all that hard. I used the SFTC as a template for the SFTC-Lite so this would be a similar challenge.

One would think so but to be said, no. Better to use the yet to be released AST mod 2.0 as a template for a first time Star Trek Mod for SE V.

Right now the major hurtles will be the AI. I have been waiting for Aaron to finalize a lot of the scripts and other things before actually diving into modding. The reason for this is that I would hate to do a lot of work on a mod just to have all that work nullified do to a patch or update that added or changed the scripts or program.

Also there has been a lot of issues with balance that haven't yet been fully addressed and the discussion regarding adding new ships hull sizes and images to the game still pose a significant problem.

Whether I end up making a mod, or someone else, you can bet one will be made though.

That's not entirely true. Within a layer, damage is directional. Placement of components does matter, though it tends to not have a big effect in the damage-happy stock mod.

Personally I preferred the AST over the STM so if asked which I would like to see, it would be the AST.

It means so little in stock that it may as well be nothing.

In GGmod, it means almost everything.
