minor bug but Photon Torp III has a Roman numeral of 8 instead of 3.

Star Trek Mod V1.3.0

Thanks David G. I will get that fixed in the next Version. In the mean time any one who wants to can fix it in their game as well.

This list will also be included in the next Version, so if your name is not on the list and you have contributed to the mod in any way, please post and let me know if you want your name added.

Thank you to all of the Beta testers:

NO...... COME ON........ Atrocities..

I have a lot of ideas.

Like… make a mod just for the medium map setting with 16 races. And an AI research path for them. Balance and set up just for them… Were you can only play this Mod on a medium map at 16 races with 2,000 racial points… or….. something like that…….I think that will be a lot easer than doing everything.

Basically… when it comes down to it, the research is not in balance with the galaxy size.

Everything else is there. And this is by far the best Star Trek game out there ( thanks Atrocities).

I just hope that I can help to make it better.

This is an example of the research imbalance.

After turn 100... In a medium seize galaxy with 16 + races I have research a new colony technology with in five turns. And the other and Last colony technology, also with in five turns. But….. to research the heavy curser ship technology will cost me almost three times more in turns….Why?

1. The answers is that the ship construction technology is set for a medium galaxy. And the colony technology is set for a small galaxy.

2. And there are to many moons for the races to inhabit in a system.

I myself... as a Modular… suck ……. But I love to design………So please don’t let this be the Last of the Star Trek Mod.

I would really like to help out.

1. The answers is that the ship construction technology is set for a medium galaxy. And the colony technology is set for a small galaxy.

I fail to see how that is the case... the Colony Techs just cost 500k so it is hard to research them in the early game, that is all. Ship Construction in STM is designed to be very expensive, so obviously level 5 or 8 in it is going to cost a lot more than any other tech at level 1. A lot of high levels in tech areas (shields, weapons, etc.) end up costing more than the Colony Techs to research. I don't think raising the cost of the colony techs would be that great of an idea.

2. And there are to many moons for the races to inhabit in a system.

In your opinion, sure. It is not a matter of fact, just one of opinion. Many people like the number of moons in FQM (which is built in to STM), others do not. You can always use a "classic" type map, which does not have the moons.

My thanks to you, Atrocities and everyone else for making Star Trek Mod one of the best SE4 mod yet. I want to play it all the time, just can't find enough time.

I know how you feel, Lighthorse. Especially with a 2 (almost 3) year old. Lately, I don't get on the computer until 9:00 PM, and if I don't fall asleep at the terminal, I usually drag mayself away anywhere from 12:00 - 1:00 AM. And I have to get up at 4:30!

It would appear that up grading from 128 to 130 the save games still work out, I have not found any problem after doing this as of yet

Yeah.... your right... I'll give it a rest.
I was just hoping to help out more. But I think I'll just stick with playing this Great Mod.

BTW.... has anyone thought about making a Master of Orion Mod for SEIV?

I found the same to be true with my game
