The Star Trek Mod - v1.9.7.5 (Oct 07)

[Black_Knyght]

I know I'm certainly eager to give it a whirl....

[Atrocities]

Lets hope others are too. Or else I pretty much wasted my time. But thats would be ok, at least I know I made a fun mod.

STM is great. I will definately be downloading the new version.

When will the SEV version be ready?.

[Atrocities]

A lot of newer players to the game have expressed a lot of confusion over having to install the image packs and updates. I have tried to make things easy for them but still its a lot to do when your first starting out.

Seems that most of them are not reading the help files and or are reading them but are becoming confused by them. How do you explain how to install the image packs in a way that someone with no computer skills what so ever can understand?

[Black_Knyght]

That's an interesting dilemma. I'll give it some thought to see how to best present that.

My experience (as a bit of a techno-failure) is getting support from this forum or from IRC. Folks have ALWAYS been helpful. Sometimes I was even doing the right thing, with unexpected results.

[Black_Knyght]

Downloaded the Mod, and I'm starting a game asap. Didn't catch that you'd released it already when I was on here earlier.

[Atrocities]

I started the upload earlier and had to leave. Hope it works.

I could not log onto SE.net too post this news so it is going to have to be broken here first. Sorry Fyron.

The Star Trek Mod Version 1.9.4.2 Deluxe
(29 megs)

The year is 2400.00 and the galaxy awaits exploration. Who could have ever imagine the wonders and horrors to come. Where peaceful exploration and diplomacy fail, conquest begins. Immerse yourself in the role of leader of a Star Trek Race. Explore the technology, build ships, and colonize the galaxy as you battle against other star trek races for absolute power.


This latest version is a major departure from the last version of the mod. Virtually everything has been modified from the way the technology has been laid out to how the AI works.

Major Changes:
1. Technology has been re-organized
2. All facilities have been replaced with the inclusion of expandable ship yards.
3. Racial Traits have been modified and now include free traits that give access to Infantry and Troops. (Seperated in an attempt to limit illegal AI designs)
4. The AI has been reworked as to improve the single player experience.
5. Virtually every component and facility is now divided equally into parts for each race. This will enable modding of individual races components and facilities without affecting other races.
6. Spaceyards build at faster rates than planet based construction yards.



Release Notes:
1. This mod is designed for long term play therefore do not expect a fast paced game by turn 30 as the AI is designed to expand and research at a moderate pace in order to emulate a true Star Trek universe.
2. The Star Trek Mod must follow the rules and physics of Space Empires IV. Therefore do not expect the mod to be pure Star Trek in any form. Although we have tried to make the mod as star trek as possible, some things such as warp drive and what not will not be like they are in the Star Trek universe.
3. Read the INSTALLATION and Before You Play documents before you play the mod. They Contains helpful information.

Please report bugs and other issues to my gmail account listed in the mods documentation. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the mod.
