Atrocities Star Trek Mod Bug/Feature?

[Atrocities]

Hi,

At the risk of a good flaming, is there a bug/feature in the Atrocities Mod that prevents the population minister from doing his job?

I've built transports, selected transports minister in the minister window, and turned on minister control on the required ships, but they all sit there dead in the water.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
M.

Thanks for posting this. If it was a bug it would have been a big one.

When ever you find something wrong with any mod PLEASE post about it. That is how we fix them.

Also any problems you find please email them to CNCRaymond@astmod.com Thanks.

About some of the races not having EMP files.

PLEASE READ THE READ ME's that come with the mod.

There are only EMP files for 8 races to begin with. CNC has added EMP files for 3 additional races.

The races that do not have EMP files are from the ADD ON PACK.

Origianlly the AST MOD only had 8 races. Therefore only 8 EMP files.

8472
Borg
Breen
Cardassian
Federation
Ferengi
Klingon
Romulan

The ADD ON PACK
Andorian
Dominion
DS9
Federation TMP
Federation TOS
Gorn
Hirogen
Kazon
Son'a
Tholian
Vulcan

NEW EMP's in 1.7 (Patch 7)
Dominon

New EMP's in 1.8 (Patch 8)
Dominion
Hirogen
Son'a

I think it is his goal, CNC's to eventually have EMP's for all the races. HOWEVER, the game was set up using a new ideas and racial traits SPECIFIC to the original 8 races. There is a 9th racial trait GENERAL TECHNOLOGY, that is used for all of the other races.

By default the other races use this. Granted they all have a GENERAL.txt description, but not an EMP file.

Like I said that Last time I talked to him, he wanted to provied EMP files for all the races. He was waiting for me to finish up the new renders for the Breen, Andorian, and Son'a before he added them.

If you want EMP files for any race, simply email him. I am sure he wouldn't mind setting them up for you.

Thank you the all of you for the answers.

Started playing in the mod. Perhaps I should post my remarks in the mod forum?

As of now, some constructive critisms. I must say that the work (graphical and in rule modding, is impressive. Congrats to all the people who put hours into the mod!)

I find a bit to cheesy to have the small carrier only requiring 25% fighter bay. If I have wanted, I could have put a shipyard on it.

The anti matter torp II is very good, but the III is pure crap. IIRC it costs 50% more but ofter only some +5 more damage, no added range or anything else.

I have reworked the 8472 and Borg emp file. They should have heavy trade penalties in my mind. They are rather xenophobic you see.
Also for the bog, increased resistance env and growth rate seemed a thing to do, to represent the 'infestation' problem.

Is it possible to have a type of galaxy w/o black holes? I edited mid life myself, but as it cripple the AI, but you should consider doing it in the official mod.

So far no big things. I will keep you informed.
Oh BTW in the 3 games I started the Klingon AI soared past all the others each time. Dunno if it is pure luck in the planets settings, or if the AI is particularly optimized.

thx again!

Yes, it is possible. But, you seem to have answered your own question. Check out FQM (linked in my sig) for examples of Paradise quadrants that are very AI-friendly.

[Pocus]

well I misformulated my remark it seems

I meant : is it possible that cncraymond include a galaxy model w/o black hole in his mod? Some players are not aware that it can drain a whole IA.

I just started my second game. Good mod! You broke my proportions habit for the time being. It is fun to be the Borg. Is there any counter intel at all besides a few facilities? I had to close all warp points just to rebuild my now mostly asteriod empire!
