Hello all

Im back and better than ever and ready to mod.

thanks jay 

maybe keep the shield restore rate the same but give the refit operations at spacedock a giant boost to shield restore rate, like pulling them back up faster than the current hull restore rate, within like a minute maybe.

You mean i can finally rest? J/K Welcome back Jay. Glad your OK

The Borg have conquered 3 Planets, but when i capture their ships i need their research to use their special powers.

haha

the borg would probably classify cloaking as inefficient

That may be true, but 'in-game' after a battle, I always have hull repaired before shields. Maybe its just a personal thing for myself, but with the above tweaks (-700%) I am getting was after, which was more of an incentive to avoid hull damage.   What I am finding now, is that in my next engagement, sometime, I'm still showing the hull scars from that battle, with shields fully restored.

Don't get me wrong, this is just a personal preference, as I am loving this mod, as attested by the 12 hours a day I've spent on it over the last week.

I probably need to reiterate. Its not hull rate repair rates per say, its their speed compared to shield. In terms of game play overall, I love slow games-the slower the better, as while its a bit 'nothing to do' at the start, mid to late game really suits my game pace/cannon requirements. Ie

1. You get a warning that a fleet is incoming and are able to build defensive structures and a couple of ships by the time they arrive. Hate this, so for example my soverign clas takes arounf 800 seconds to build.

2. Likewise, a planet has been bombed, and 5-10 minutes later population is back to full. Now, a 280 pop terran world for me takes about an hour game time to come up to full pop.

These are just two examples, as I have changed all build rates/research rates economic rates etc etc etc.

Now I know these settings are not for everyone (maybe no one  ) because you need a LOT of time to play, but, it just gives the game a more epic feel, with the loss of a capital ship a true disaster, and planet pop raids a terrible,  long term, problem. I only wish the game constants file had a heap more tags, and tweaking these would be a lot less work. Also, Iv'e tried to give ships individual phase speed with a work around, ie as a buff type, or individual phase lane effects, but so far no go. I'm probably banging my head against a brick wall hear but, individual ship phase speeds is something that would suit this trek mod amazingly well.

that hull won't protect you from heavy radiation, that's what shields are for besides obvious protection from weapons in general.

Missed the top of the page sticky??   Use the diplomacy one, install instructions included.  121+1.21a+1.3 IIRC

Just a quick question, what files determine the sweep pattern of an attacking ship? The reason I ask is that playing as the Dominion Iv'e noticed that their starting capital ship seems to get 'stuck' when performing its turn on a target, limiting its ability to attack. It gets to the end of its distance away, then just stops, with little twitches as it try's (unsuccessfully) to turn.

Crap, knew I forgot something.  It's the even damage distribution, fixed for the next version.

Edit: Or already fixed for the next version, so I forgot and remembered earlier.

Doing the sane thing and developing it with decent version control doesn't mean it's getting opened up to the public.

Currently, the repository exists on my system, a less than always on computer on a residential connection out in the sticks, you need a dedicated web server to be doing that sort of thing.  I wouldn't anyway, too much hassle.  You have to add in users manually, and lots of people are, for some strange reason, too dumb to set it up without pestering for help.
