Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Doesn't the engines work sort of strange? With only a 'bonus movement' difference on the higher tech engines you really just need one of them on each ship and can fill in the rest with Ion engines, which also have more supply capacity.

[Captain Kwok]

That's an SE:V bug though. If it doesn't get fixed soon than I'll probably fudge around with movement amounts as a workaround. However, play "fair" for now and use all of the engines as if the bonus movement would only apply if you had all the same engines.

[Suicide Junkie]

Can you not just add a bonus move ability of zero points to fix this?

That was the answer in SE4 too, IIRC.

[Captain Kwok]

Yeah, that will work fine.

I've posted v0.94 of the Balance Mod for download here:

Code:

Version 0.94 (04 November 2006)

-------------------------------



1.  Changed  - Increased structure for Emissive Armor

2.  Fixed    - Engine movement bonuses will now only apply when all engines are of the same type

3.  Fixed    - Error in AI research scripts

4.  Changed  - Made some changes to AI Empires racial traits and weapon choices

5.  Updated  - AI Scripts

It turns out the AI not researching its own weapon techs was a mistake on my part but it's been corrected so no more wasted research points.

The upcoming v0.95 will be a more significant update and will be released shortly after the next SE:V patch is out next week.

Nice fixes with 0.94. Can't wait for the game patch and next Balance mod update, it's gonna be a blast!

The A.I is doing nothing(dead)with this update?

[aegisx]

I checked, the AI is indeed doing nothing.
