TDM-ModPack 2.00 BETA

As mentioned already, Romulan .emp file does not specify design name. The same happens to Klingons - no design name.

Romulans have a bigger problem though. As I learned, its research and ship design files are based on God-Emperor mode which includes destroyer hull from the start. As result, Romulans do not build normal colony ships !!

Instead, they build frigates with cargo bays and call them "colony ships". Klingon' files are fine. I always like Klingons more then Romulans and am glad that later is now a laughing stock of the galaxy ! Truly pathetic race

I think that Piundon have problems with colony ships as well. The colony ship has only 3 engines and supply storage. The resulting supply is exactly the same as with standard 5-engine ships - 2K, so Piundon ships have _exactly the same range_ but move twice slower ! I understand that Tampa-Gamer have tried to create a long-range colony ship, but it does not work with supply storage I. To get better range, cargo bays but not engines should be replaced with supply.

One more observation: several races (e.g. Narn, Atraikan) have an empty research project line due to 50% (Narn) or even 100% (Atraikan) Tech Area Min Percent and therefore lose research points!
Thank you Atrocities for the tip how to fix the filler tech problem, but that is very easy to do: just delete the filler tech projects in the research files (2 each for the Klingons and Romulans).
As far as I see there was no major modifications for the CueCappa and Phong. So if you are interested in my AI for these two races, that are posted in the Mod section some months ago, feel free to use them. They are compatible with Version 1.49 as far as I tested it.

Mephisto:

Is the changed ModPack Online again? What about the Filler Tech - is it included now?

Q - Atraikians aren't part of the modpack. They are currently undergoing a major rework including the ship pictures since htose were just my initial pictures for a BFG Chaos race in a different color. It's going to be a while before they are done. The Zorians have the same 100% problem, but all I have left on them right now is re-rendering the bases, weapon platforms, troops, and the med./lrg transport. I'm hopeing they will be done by monday, followed by the Kzinti (using SFB ships from Ghosts Shipyards), Chaos, and Gorn (again ships from Ghosts shipyards).

Its Online, just click the old link. The filler tech is not included (no need for it any more since MM fixed the research queue bug) but the lines that caused the errors where erased.

The Narn should not have an empty research queue. Note that the AI will fill the research queue (in fact all queues) at the end of the turn so you don't always see what the Ai is doing until you get the log report in the next turn. In which cases do the Narn have an empty research queue?
