Take a coloniy ship, park it over a planet of oh say Gas (with Ice on ship) empty no pop, hit colonize and you will get message can not but you will now have 1M pop on board...move to a planet W/pop and drop repete

Found this when I load up a ship with 2 did pop types on planet and found I was having HW pop on it too

Oh... ick. Definitely send this in to MM. This is a nasty bug. It can not really get you much, esp. in a PBW game, with just 1 M per trip, so there is no reason to remove the default 1 M pop in STM. But MM definitely needs to know. se4@malfador.com

AT, just list it as a Banned bug in the STM game description.

Consider it listed. But if the pop setting is to 1, and should be 0, then by changing it back to 0 would this not fix the issue for this mod?

[Atrocities]

The PBW Admins have added the 11th player slot so Jimbob your clear to join the game now.

Also if you have not uploaded your empires, please do so as soon as you can.

I have a question for those who know.

The next Version does not make any changes to the game that would require new EMP files to by up grading to the latest Version at PBW be the best option for us?

Or should we just all just update and leave the current Version as is ap PBW until we know if we have any major bugs?

If we do not update PBW will I have to manually process the turns?

Thanks.

Also Fyron had been kind enought to set up a game forum for us over at www.spaceempires.net Please check it out and post question comments concerns.

[Atrocities]

I was wondering if any one had any suggestion for the cost of technology / ship research / ship costs etc.

I would also like to know if UserX's Star Trek map is up to day and if so can some one please email it to me along with the placement order of the players. - oh wait I can change that order my self to alphabetical by using the map editor.

I just want to be sure I have the latest Version of the map.

I have also added the new Andorian ships to the mod.

I have added the the entire new vulcan set to the mod as well.

A couple of questions:

1) i have installed Version 1.2.1 of the single player stuff and what i see is slow expansion of the races except the klingons. i know this was a known issue a while back. is it solved?
the kligons have some 40 planets (small map), the next best ai are the dominion with 20 planets. i'm at 90 planets (but i traded rock colonization for ice, and then ice for gas with another alien race.) This is after some 90-100 turns.

2) I play as the federation and i thus have access to the federation tech tree. For "role playing" purposes, if for instance a weapon appears in the federation tech tree and the "normal" tech tree, should you research both or only the federation Version?

My only gripe so far is that i seems a bit difficult to install the single player stuff. meaning, you first install Version 1.1.5 if think and then 2 updates. Otherwise, WOW

[Atrocities]

The install process is the nature of the beast when your dealing with updates. I am on dial up and can not upload large files daily.

The AI has been improved and will expand better in the latest Version.

The reason for the Single Player Version and the Play By Web Version was because the PBW Version has the COLONY tech mod. This meant that any saved cames would be invalidated.

The single player verison was released so players could finish playing their games.

There will only be one release for the 1.2.5 and that will have the colony mod included so any previous Version of the mod, priort to 1.2.0 pbw will no longer support.

This is explained in the download section of the web site.

To many people get confused to easily. If I can figure out how to install a mod and then mod then any one can do it. I can not think for everyone, and I won't try. Read the instruction and if they don't, then they will have problems. If they have problems, then they need to step back and think about what it is they did wrong.

The latest Versions, once uploaded, will include a one patch from Version 1.2.0 to 1.2.5, and a full Version of 1.2.5 so everyone should have no problem updating or installing the mod.

Hopefully

It is not an issue with just 1 free pop... it takes too long for it to matter. You are better off just loading some pop off of your 12 B HW and letting them reproduce... please change it back to 1.

I for one prefer to do the full meal deal. Update the empire files, latest Version, etc. It will prevent/reduce confusion and error later on in the campaigm PBW game.

I have only the copies of UserX Star Trek Map Versions 1.0 and 1.1, completed on 8/13/03 and 8/18/03. If you want those I can email them to you.

I have Emailed MM on this, No it is not a big problem, unless, you try to use the pop of one type of atmopher (sp) and find this nice big planet is now domed with some of your pop on it

[Fyron]

Umm... have you confirmed that it always adds your type of pop and not what is on the ship, if the ship already has population on it, or is that a guess?
