Atrocities AST Mod

Ok this is why the Small Mount does not work.

Short Name := Small Mount
Description := Extremely miniaturized mount which allows a weapon to be used on fighters. It decreases damage from the weapon by 40%, and the size by 50%. Can only be used on Direct Fire weapons. Requires a fighter of at least 23kT.

It decrease the damage of a weapon by 40%. So a small laser beam 1 has a damage rating of 10, reduced by 40% and voilia, no damage.

I will change this to no decrease in damage.

When playing AST I keep getting two error Messages:
Could not find field �Race Opt 2 Characteristic 5 Type� in record �Federation�
Could not find field �Race Opt 2 Characteristic 5 Amount� in record �Federation�

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I have events turned off.

Is this the problem that you guys are talking about? Remember, some of us illiterates don't speak AI :-)

Thanks. The Fed General.txt issue was fixed in the 1.4 patch. I must have missed it when I set up the full Version. I will upload a new copy later.

In the mean time, the best way to fix it is to simply open the Fed_General.txt scroll down to Race Opt 2 Num Characteristics := 5 and change the 5 to a 4. Save it and presto fixed.

small Typo:

Impuse Engine IV instead Impulse Engine IV

I dont know but it looks like the Combat Movement dont works right.

i.E.: 2x Impules Engine III (1bo 2st 4co) + Graviton Engine (5bo 6co) + Propulsion Experts gives in a Borg Frigate 11 standard Movement but only 12 combat movement.

I just bumped the thread that has the latest Version linked.

I have run into something that is apparently not working correctly. I have several Borg fleets with ships classed as attack beamers. On several occasions against the Tholians and Kazan Nistrim a handful of my ships have annihilated vast numbers of enemy fighters with no loss because the fighters never fire. The fighters are armed with anti-ship weapons and make attack runs but never shoot. Has this been noted elsewhere?

I had the same problem, but i'm not sure if it qualifies as a problem or not. It seems to only occur with ships armed with DUCs. Ships with Missles seem to have no problem shooting at your ship. Maybe fighters with only level 1 in mini DUCs can't fire against regular ship hulls?

The problem has been addressed in the patch.

AST Mod Patch 5 v1.5

NOTE: Please install Patch 4 prior to Patch 5 if you have not already done so. If you have installed the AST Full 1.4, then just install Patch 5.
