Carrier Battles Mod

[Suicide Junkie]

Superiority fighters work well as heavy fighters too, though. Especially if you are going to arm them with supply-sucking DUCs instead of the energy based Plasma Cannons.

SJ I am getting a lot AI_General, and Research errors popping up in v1.6.

When you changed the Racial Traits and tech area files you might have caused some collateral damage to the AI files.

Also do you mind if I work on a modified version of your mod? Just something that I wanted to play around with and if I can get it too work I would like to post it, with your permission.

I, too, am getting lots of error messages for the missing solid shields research...

Grrrrrrrrrrr............

[Suicide Junkie]

Do you mean Atrocities' races?

If so, I posted this link in his thread, including the mod, the AIs, and the nessesary tweaks.

[Black_Knyght]

Not with just AT's races, but some of the others too.

[Atrocities]

I also found a spacing error in the components file right above Steel Armor Plating.

The missing Tech Area tech is Solid Shields.

The missing Racial Trait is Hardy Industrialists.

I wanted to try out that Subspace idea I had and your mod seemed like the best way to go.

This is what I have done. (I have not updated the research file yet, but I will)

1) Yeah, that's why I updated the links, and solid shields were intentionally removed.

2) Since you're gonna have the ISBMs, you should probably remove the PBMs, or change them into warheads for the ISBMs.

3) Armor skipping weapons won't do much. They act more like shield skipping weapons, since the mod uses leaky shields and armor.

4) Once you've got the basics working, I suggest cranking the number of stealth/scanner levels up to 50 or so, to prevent the arms race from fizzling out in the early turns of a game.

1. What links were updated? I only downloaded this yestarday.

2. PBMS - ?

3 - thats fine, just gives the subs their own weapon.
4 - ? The cloaking ability is built into the hulls.. can you give more advise on this.

Thanks
