Thanks

Hey, speaking of, I just noticed that Species 8472 are listed as "Dead."

Ummm...they were still around when I put in my Last orders, Last night I think...How did that happen between now and then? Or are they pegged this way to ensure the AI plays them?

thanks,

Alarik

A player can be marked dead however that empire can still be alive and well.

You will still get the default small shuttles, but I will set it up so they too can be turned off.

That is a great idea, might be good for faster pbw games too!

I'm noticing a far better AI response now that they do not build mines/mine sweepers. Also Fighters and shuttles never pose much of a threat (at least so far?) so not having the AI waste resources on taht should be good.

Another thing that may help the ai, (as I notice they still tend to build up a tonne of smaller ships early game) would be a late game / late tech mount for smaller size ships. Will the AI retrofit those ships under those circumstances? I dont mean anything as bold and powerful as the defiant mount, just something to make all those lil ships be of some value in the later game

Star Trek Mod v1.7.1 Star Trek Mod Site

1. Fixed - Borg Drone now only has 3 levels instead of 5. (Thanks BlackRose)
2. Changed - Set Support Craft so that you can now exclude it (Turn it off) at game start up.
3. Fixed - Borg were adding multiple captains to designs
4. Changed - Mounts - equaled them out more and increased damage %
5. Changed - Armor - equaled them out more and decreased damage resistance
6. Changed - Borg Ripper Beam I - IV Can now fire on most targets
7. Changed - Borg Incinerator Beam I - III Can now fire on most targets
8. Changed - Dominion Mini Ship images. They now appear more color balanced
9. Updated - Tnargs Major Maps to Version 4

[Atrocities]

The new Version should not effect saved games. If it does it will be minutly.

[Atrocities]

Should we add Neo Standard ships?

Keep in mind there are NO neo standard images for any of the Federation sets, and I sincerely doubt there ever will be. (I am far to lazy to find them and convert them for use with SEIV)

I can add the neo standard hulls as a new racial trait, Neo Ships, but should it cost points?

[Aiken]

Atrocities, these are things you may want to fix in future Versions of STM.

Note: issue with Vehicle Size Minimum/Maximum results in impossibility to use this mounts with Dreadnoughts. All of this also concerns 1.7.1

I'm really sorry Atrocities, but where are errors in 1.7.0 with Dominion, Klingon, Tholian and Romulan Dreadnought mounts:

Long Name := Dominion Dreadnought Mount
...
Vehicle Size Minimum := 1800 (size in game 1300kt)
Vehicle Size Maximum := 1800

Long Name := Klingon Dreadnought Mount
...
Vehicle Size Minimum := 1600 (size in game 1300kt)
Vehicle Size Maximum := 1600

Long Name := Romulan Dreadnought Mount
...
Vehicle Size Minimum := 1200 (size in game 1250kt)
Vehicle Size Maximum := 1200

Long Name := Tholian Dreadnought Mount
...
Vehicle Size Minimum := 1000 (size in game 1200kt)
Vehicle Size Maximum := 1000

and Tholian Energy Mount STILL doesn't affect Tholian Energy Web, it doesn't affect even Tholian Cascade Disruptor now:

Long Name := Tholian Energy Mount
...
Comp Family Requirement := 3544, (nothing after comma, it seems you forgot to add families)

I suppose this line shold look like this:
Comp Family Requirement := 3544,3334,1688

That's all.

It looks like he incorporated what you reported in the 1.7.1 Version, no?
