Atrocities Star Trek Mod (ASTmod) UPDATED 2-9-04

[Ragnarok]

Atrocities, I just want to say: Excellent job on the mod. I have only messed around with it for a couple minutes but I love it so far. I look forward to playing some more games with it. Once again, Kudos!

[Rich04]

There may be a similar problem with warp core engine. When I add one to a speed 6 ship it jumps up to speed 32.

[Atrocities]

Thanks Rich. I noticed that with the AI as well.

Remember, a lot of the new tech has to be crossed researched. So some of the Race tech levels may show up as empty. Once you research an area such as computers all the way out, then things such as the Genesis device can become availible provided you have researched Gravitational and Stellor tech.

Quote:
In the Design Types file, there are no specific Colony Ship designs listed.

I did this because most people name there colony ships what they are, Rock, Gas, or Ice. Whether or not these are listed in the design list is irrelivant. However if a player would like them there, then they can simply create them, or edit the defualt design types.txt file.

Quote:
Are basic tech colony ships supposed to be able to hold ~200 mil pop?

If I understand you correctly then yes. The colony tech has not been altered. However, the colony ship design has had its tonage increased to 400. More realistic IMHO.

Are the Ferengi supposed to start on Gas Giants?

Yes.

Browsing through components.txt, noticed a few possible typos in the NAME field:
-
Ferengi Salvvage Crew(I-V) (or maybe that's how the ferengi spell it?)
-
Sesor Array
-
Crystal Enhanced Laser -- (missing the I and II for the first two levels, and the third level name is blank).
-
Poloron (instead of polaron) beams

Also, the 5th level shipyards jump pretty far ahead of 4th level shipyards in production ability - was that intended?

Never been able to terraform a radiated planet with either genesis device or the athmospheric conVersion 3.

Is that ok ?

[Atrocities]

Thanks guys Will get those spelling errors take care of.

The mod uses the Fyron Q-mod 2.0. It does not allow for terraforming of some worlds. I have talked to Fyron about this, and he has explained why this is. You'll have to ask him to explain it.

I noticed something else in the game. I go to build a colony ship, and I select the 400KT size ship. It has the restrictions of the bridge and so forth so I fill that part of it up. It also has the restriction of 50% of space must be used for colony componants. So I put one on there and all is well. I fill up the rest of the space with cargo containers, etc. But when I use the Advanced Colonization mount and I put one on it's still needing 50% of the space for that.

Wait, as I was typing this I was messing around with it again to recreate the problem. And before I would put two colony things on it and it would be over the size limit because I had some other stuff in it. But now I just have the bare essentials and two fit fine, and that does the job. So nevermind. I was just tired Last night and didn't mess around enough.

[Atrocities]

Also, the 5th level shipyards jump pretty far ahead of 4th level shipyards in production ability - was that intended?

For all of the Early, Developed, and Expanded tech yes that is correct.

For the Race Tech, I have lowered them all to something a tad bit more realistic. Thanks.
