Sorry!!!!

Thanks for posting the problem. My answer was short because I was in a hurry and I did not mean to sound rude. I take any report serious and do check them all. I am the one who is sorry for rude.

Thanks again for posting about the problem. If I find one I will let you know.

What would help me to try and duplicate the problem is if you could post what game settings you were using, and how many races you have playing. If you have a copy of the game file, that would be of tremendous help.

I just reinstall over the game and added the patch and everything else up to V.1.2.8 and I still have the same problem. And I also found out that the UCP Consortium is not designing colony ships.

If you want, I can start a new game and send you a save game file. Or any other file that you want.

Btw. I never thought that you sounded rude.
But I do think
That you�re a really cool dude.

The problem with the UCP is the same with the Federation. I will fix it for the next patch. Thanks.

sometimes the races will not design units until they have a specific technology. Most, if not all, will design basic units from game start, but sometimes one or two will hold off.

I have play tested all races (manually selecting each race EMP) and they all appear to be designing and building units. I have also added the Construction Units file created by Rollo from the TDM mod for the UnitedFlora race. Perhpas this will add some flavor to the AI's use of units.

If not, I will remove them before I release the next Version. (1.3.0 will be out by this weekend hopefully.)

And regarding the conept for increasing the cost of research, I have toyed with that, and perhaps in a later Version we can. The idea would be to reduce the research points generated by research facilities rather than increasing the cost of items.

I would love to see Aaron design into SE V the ability of a modder to set the increase cost by % for each tech level increase. Lv 1 cost X, Lv 2 cost 20% more than Lv1 did, Lv 3 cost 40% more than Lv 2 cost, etc.

Another Minor(ish) bug report

Just playing the game as the dominion (v1.2.8)and I reasearched 'Ship Construction' level 2 and when I checked 'Captains' nothing would be discovered! After checking the components.txt I found a problem with captains across almost all the races.


Name := ANY Captain/daimon/gul/nexus/plexus etc I
Number of Tech Req := 2
Tech Area Req 1 := Captains
Tech Level Req 1 := 2 (should be 1 for cap I's !)
Tech Area Req 2 := 'Race' Technology
Tech Level Req 2 := 1

The only exceptions to this are 'Federation Captain I' & 'Privateer Captain I', both have a requirement of 1.

Oh and this mod is brilliant!

Thanks for the bug report and support.

This paticular bug has been addressed.

Star Trek Mod v1.2.9

1. Fixed Most of the Captain I had the wrong Tech Level requirement.

Thanks though, you never know when one of these things has slipped through the cracks. Without people like you and so many others posting and emailing bug reports to me I honestly don't think the mod would be where it is today.

I hope to have the 1.2.9 - 1.3.0 Version out later this week. I just want to play test it for a bit longer and see if any more bugs pop up.

Thanks.

Not sure if this has been brought up, if it has, all apoligies:

Borg Drone Repair Crew. The component for Drone Repair comes in at 50k, the normal repair component comes in at 35k... Perhaps drop the Bog Drone repair component down to 10-20k, as the borgs are all about repairing... right? Or am I missing something? As it is, there is no point in even using or researhing the Borg Repair Crew if the regular one is smaller.

Having a bLast with this mod!

[XenoTheMorph]

Whoops!!! Sorry about that.

I was sure I checked to see if it was on your patch lists, must be because it was the first one for 1.2.9 I would not dream to check there.

Now i was actually going to post about the Vorta Captains this time lets hope I have not done the same mistake again.

The Vorta Captains give 'Standard Movement' as an ability, this means they count towards the engine totals and they provide much less than an engine would. I was wondering if they were supposed to produce 'Bonus Movement' (or Combat Movement)instead? That way they would provide a very good (possibly too good?) bonus and not count towards the engine total.

Hmm i'm also wondering about the

Dominion Mini Phased - Polaron Beams
Tonnage Space Taken := 10
Tonnage Structure := 30!!

maybe it should be 20 as with Dominion Mini Polaron Beams (or even the size 20 non mini weapons )

Finally techarea Dominion Torpedo Weapons has 5 levels, but there are only 4 used by the weapons themselves.

Well thats my two pennys worth.

This latest Version will most likely foul up your save game so do the following if you want to keep your current game.

1. open your SEIV directory and right click on your Star Trek Mod folder
2. click copy
3. click in an open area of your SE IV directory and then right click and paste
4. rename this copy Star Trek Mod 128
5. Update your old Star Trek Mod folder.

The file is a self extracting and installing file. Simply direct it to your Space Empires Directroy. If you are not asked to over right files, then it has not been directed to the correct location.

I am not a smart guy, but if I can figure this **** out, then so can you. Please if you do something wrong don't yell at me. Just think about it and you will solve the problem.

I will update the web site later, after some of you have had a chance to play this latest Version and report any bugs or other issues.

Enjoy.

For the time being this will most likely be the Last update I do unless a major bug is discovered. I want to thank you all for your support and hope you all enjoy the mod.
