STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion

Atrocities:

When I conquered the Klingons, I got that star killer ship of yours. UserX was getting all cocky because he kept capturing some of the rioting Klingon colonies and was like this is the end of the Romulans etc...

Boy, was he sad when I blew up Sol and he lost that spiffy 250 ship fleet of his!

[Atrocities]

You didn't?

Leave it to a Romulan to ACTUALLY use one of those doomsday ships.

Remind me in the future to turn off WOMD when playing with you.

Also I have the larger images ready for you. Just beep me or something.

Who took control of the game? Why?

I took over because you didn't declare yourself dead and left the game hanging...

[TNZ]

What would happend if I removed the Bonus movement ability from the Impulse Engines?

Will they then work regardless of how many are on a ship design? IE designs with 2 empulse engines will provide movement?

The reason I am asking this is because as the game progress, the AI keeps designing larger ships that have no movement. They have warp drive, and one or two impulse engines, but as we know, they do not move.

Try it: didn’t help. Isn’t this just an example of the AI inability to use the propulsion scheme? But even human player are designing ships with no movement because they don’t add a enough impulse engines. Maybe instead of a propulsion scheme that states more tonnage, more engines, why not just have the same number of engines needed for all ships and have component enhancements that increase the cost, size and supplies used by engine per ship size or tonnage.

I did declare myself dead, it was the Last thing I did that night. This has happend before. No worries

TNZ that is a ok idea, but would require me to revamp the entire mod, I am not willing to spend that kind of time on the mod any more. Perhaps for STM 2.0

[solops]

I really, really like this mod. I just wish the SEIV AI could deal with minefields better, which is a problem in all SEIV games, stock and mods alike.

[Atrocities]

The AI leaves a lot to be desired. The mod tries to use the AI to give the single player a good game, but ulitmately it is a pale comparison to a real opponent.

[tesco samoa]

hey are we going to update that star trek game on pbw...

I see lots of fixes for the Kligons
