Fyron's Quadrant Mod Discussion Thread

You might have to be careful with testing that one...

If systems have too many warppoints going in and out, the pathfinding may go nuts.
My FTL-map is a prime example of that, making it humans-only, and requiring some micromanagement of ship movement.

Well... 1 of my PBW games is using a Cluster map where I made the same exact change to the number of WPs and the min angle between them, and I haven't had any problems with pathfinding in there.

I have noticed the AI cannot handle the "Newly Forming" star system - ships sit over obscured planets and warp pts trying to colonize or warp through them everyturn.

The ai ends up with fleets and colony ships stuck in these systems repeating its Last orders but unable to comply because the object is hidden.

Oh well. I guess the Newly Forming quadrant will be recommended for humans only.

I cannot play with any other maps now - the standard maps put me to sleep - you did a really good job with it.

I hope my comment to Aaron about the AI trying to use hidden objects gets his attention and he fixes it. That newly forming star system is cool.

I combine the TDM AIs , your maps and my mounts into a single mod. It makes for a pretty interesting game.

Thanks!

I would have prefered to be able to control the color of the sector storms, to either have all the same color in one system, or at least to have some sort of color scheme.

IMO - the randomness of the storms makes it interesting...
