If not, you guys really ought to make some sort of ICO channel for SOA2 players to gather, and mention it next to the scheduled multiplayer games in the main post.  I'm sure some people will want to play at unscheduled times.

И дон'т суппосе ве цоулд гет а литтле теасер жидео, цоулд ве гуыс?

EDIT:

Haha, whoops.  Still had my Russian keyboard on

What I'm trying to say: I don't suppose we could get a little teaser video, could we guys?

FYI - Glorious Sacrifice (Cap Ship Kamakaze attack) looks to be fully functional.  Right now Mystic Angel is reviewing the code (there are two separate versions) to see if he can make any tweaks or improvements, but one of the versions works solidly right now (AI can even use it).  Will be submitting it soon.

I also just coded up a new ability, that was a spin-off of Glorious Sacrifice.  While creating GS, I wanted to put a buff on the ship that would speed it up, but not be so wonderful as to be used all the time.  Thus, I created "Lust for Sto'Va'Kor."  Let's face it, you can't rely on Klingons to concentrate on fixing their ship during battle: they're all going to be working to divert more power to the weapons and engines (much to the detriment of the ship's other systems).  Thus, Lust for Sto'Va'Kor gives veteran (L2 or higher) Klingon Cap Ships the ability to do so.  It acrues damage to the ship and shields, and any hull damage taken is amplified, but it ups the damage and speed (insidiously, upping the speed seemed to make it more effective at good bombing runs!).  As the ability level increases, the lost HP/SP per sec declines, and the damage/speed increased go up.  It may not be wonderful at the first level, but at the higher level I think it is pretty effective.

Note that the exact properties (e.g., DPS, speed) can be easily tailored for game balance.  Will be submitting today.

Hello All

Like the feed back I am getting from the community and wanted to let everyone know keep the ideas, thoughts, and abilities coming .

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!       

When the new patch come out do we stay on 1.03 or upgrade to 1.04?

Do not update to the newest version coming out until we make a patch for it. 

Cool, Star Trek mod.

Thanks Soa2Team for the info.

My bad I obviously ment 1.04 which is coming out at the same time as 1.18 as far as I know. Fixed my post now anyway. Thanks.

Thanks for the update. I hope there won't be a long wait for a patch for 1.04

Anyone up for a game today?

The problem with this is that if you create a channel in ICO, it doesn't appear in the ICO Channel list.  You'd have to try and manually join the channel before it appears in your list, and even then there is no guarantee that there is anyone online that has thought to do the same thing.

Whenever I go to idle on ICO, I just create a game and call it "SoA2 MOD - D/L 2day!".  I figure that way, I advertise the MOD to those currently not using it, and also I am in plain sight if MOD users do connect and look for a game.

Anyone online for a game?  I'll be idling around for a while if anyone wants to stop by and play!

Anyone on now?

I am up for a game. I am Admiral Ross

I just hosted a game. I maybe away from keyboard, so just wait a bit. I will wait for 20 mins, if someone comes we can play. Otherwise see you all tomorrow at 7pm

Shame, no one is coming

Edit: Oh well, worth a try.

Admiral Ross from STBC? if so i know who you are!

-Shimmer

Is that good or bad?

Haha. Nope, you got the wrong person.

STBC was a awesome game though, wish it sold more and they made a sequal. I actually only played that online once against a friend.

Hi all. I would like to get a quick game in (warm up, I am still n00b) at 5pm before the 7pm scheduled start. If anyone is interested I will be hosting a game with SoA2 as the title.

5pm(GMT - UK ) 12pm(USA - EST)

Hope to see someone there

I think we're gonna have to start getting more organised for planned games.  There is regularly in excess of 10 ppl around now when games are scheduled to start.  Maybe we should get a tournament ladder up and running or something like that.

AGREED !!!!

AGREED !!!!!   

Coincide the Tournament with the next patch, that way there'll be move variety to the games- because right now Klink > Fed in almost every situation. With the balancing fixes in the next patch and the Rommies in the mix, a Tournament will be fairer.

Loki if you see this pm like you were going to. Anyway i agree there alot of people that have the mod now.
