Yes, the mod directory is great. Thanks for the info Richard.

Mods directory , improved use of AI fleets (if it works) and continous bug elimination, all this is good news. However, I am still missing further AI improvements, especially making the computer opponents finally follow through on their attacks (which may be associated with the AI's retrofit/scrap franzy). Hope this will be addressed before the patcj comes out.

What about the cloaking minister???????

Mac · #95 January 27th, 2001, 10:58 PM

Sounds wonderful. Do we have a release date?

Richard - thanks for this info. Sounds like the changes to the AI_Strategy file and fleets should help us AI modders a lot. I just hope the Cloaking minister is fixed prior to release

(for the Darlok'sake of course)

Mac- In an e-mail I received from Aaron early Last week, he indicated that the patch should be out "early next month" So I would assume that if testing goes well, we should see it out by the end of this week or early next week.

Aaron told me today he is aware of the cloaking problem and he is trying to fix it in time for the next patch.

I hope he is successfull.

No... no cloaking. Not that!

That would be awesome. But I'm very, very scared now.

Has anyone reported the error message you get when you accidentally press 'L' to launch fighters, and you've selected a fighter group instead of the carrier?

Is the contact info for reporting bugs in the readme files with the game?

The other issue I wish they would work on deals with the 'Repeat Project' option in the build queues. I can't tell you how frustrating it is when you find you have 15 space ports on a planet. Or worse, you spend 20 turns wasting resources buiding facilities when the planet is full...

Of course, the memory leak is still the most annoying. I think it is definitely related to fighters.

Tampa, I hope the "AI's better use of fleets" is not due only to a modification of the "AI strategy" file. Everybody can modify this and you mod-masters are already doing a very good job. The true reasons for the AI weakness however lie in the hardcoded parts of the program. I hope it is there that the AI fleet tactics will be improved.

Furthermore, I think that the AI should carry out its offensives much more consequently !! (Will have to put that at the end of each post - worked for Cathargo, why shouldn't it work for AI stupidity ?)
