In general: why colony ships are so slow? Personaly, I will certainly prefer warships to colonyship to found new colonies: typical colony ship EPM = 10, while destroyer's EPM = 2. Sure, I have to research destroyer first, but it's another question. So in mid game colonyships will be abbandoned completely.
I guess you did it to make colonisation phase a bit slower, but there can be another way to do it, without making colonisers useless. What do you think?

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I honestly don't know. I had no intention of making colony ships useless by mid game. What race are you playing as?

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I'm playing 2 games as 8472 and Orion. Actually all races have equal colonyships (with EPM=10) except those which belong to general races (EPM=4) and 8472 (EPM=6).

Another issue: it's still too easy to make a selfsufficient ships. Ex.: Dreadnought, 3 nacceles + transwarp drive III + 4 impulse engine V = 15 MP. Supply usage is 420 units per 15 mp. So 4 bussard collectors will easily compensate supply expenses. +2 ramscoops will even provide some redundant supplies. Same situation in low tech game: Frigate, 2 nacelles + warp drive I + 4 impulse engines I = 5 mp. Supply usage is 270 units per 5 mp. It's easy to regenerate them with 4 bussard collectors I (80*4=320).
I think that rule for calculating supply generation values should be: 4 * supplies from maxed bussard collector + 2 * supplies from maxed ramscoop < 420. You only need to find right values for bussard and ramscoop.

Anyway this will be mute once the new propulsion system is in place. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

However, I do recommend special mounts for colony modules for use with colony ship hulls a la adamant mod.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Ahhh, the Orions, I see now. Since they are a pirate race, they have very poor colonization technology. There best at compensating for this disability by capturing other races colony ships and enslaving the colonists.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Did you by any chance start with high tech start?

Some technology is captureable and if you do a high tech start that technology will become available to you.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I noticed something that seemed a little strange when playing today. I was the federation and some of the fighter\shuttle components. They were both 5kt but one had 3 for the damage then another with the same size was 5 for the damage. Is this meant to be this or is it just no one noticed

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I will look into it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Do you remember the component name?
