Wow! Looks incredible.

[quote who="RedneckRapture" reply="1266" id="2614012"]Well then, I guess this mod, like most of the other Star Trek mods and games, will fall short of whatever expectations and/or hopes people who have watched Star Trek their entire lives hope for it. Gentlemen, I am ashamed to call this a Star Trek mod, when in all actuality it is only the future of the JJ Abrams Star Trek movie, that is to say, an action flick in the clothing of one of the greatest scifi genres in history. I shall therefore

No, you can change which slot the human player goes in.

Ryat's right. I thought I saw max_tech_levels, but obviously I was wrong.

Ryat is correct that the AI will handle different tech level fine, however, the hardcoded maximum tech level is 3 so increasing it beyond that will cause problems. Also, there are different damage application settings for each weapon. I believe they are 'overtime', 'instant', and 'backloaded'.

However, the lemming effect is very real because WoW can become such a major part of your life all too easily. WoW addiction is not a myth. I started playing WoW when it first came out. For nearly 3 months I was a classic case of WoW addiction. It took horrified friends and concerned coworkers to drag me out. Much later on, I went back and found I could now keep it in pro

I can't mount a rational defense for Fox News, but neither can I for any other 24 hour news network. They all sensationalize and cater to their viewers. Fox News does the best/most notable job of it, but every other network is guilty as well.

No I'm simply one of those people who never had any desire to play online.

The in-game customizable random maps have always created very large phase lane length. I remember one of my first games in Sins I used it to make a multi-star map and it took near 30 minutes from go from star to star. I would recommend downloading the galaxy forge program. It gives you much greater ability to customize maps then the in-game editor.

Plus..if iron wouldn't be a global & basic resource, the players wouldn't be able to create metal armors and weapons at all, if they wouldn't have access to an iron mine. That w

Isn't this discussion 2 years late?

Ok, did tests seeing how long it takes for each race to reach saturation. Terran did supply on 10 and barracks right after it finished. The Mule was dropped at about 3 minutes. Worker saturation(24 workers) was reached at roughly 5:45. Zerg did overlord on 9 and pool on 12. Had queen out by 4 mins and saturation at 5 mins. Protoss did boost every 25 energy on probes. Reached sat at 4:30 into the game. Unfortunently, my income on replays doesnt seem to work(I do

Thats a huge simplification. If that were the case then games would always be over by 10 minutes. But because I realized how difficult it is to model SC income with basic math, Im doing some tests. I'll report what I get when Im done.

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="132" id="2576689"]You can call multiple mules at once, and it's generally better to wait until just before you need the influx of cash. Protoss and Zerg get more workers that last for the whole game, so the longer the game gets, the weaker the Terran econ is in comparison. Your extra 270 minerals per second starts to suck once you're behind 20 workers while constantly pumping them.[/quote] Now you're talking nonsense. Your opponent would have to be a ba

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="130" id="2576655"]You can't just spam mules all day. If you look at graphs of income over 10 minutes of a game, Terran has a slight lead if he goes early orbital command, but then he gets run over by Zerg and Protoss because they far outnumber Terran in workers as the game goes on. This is not to mention that mules cost TWICE as much energy as Larvae Injection for Zerg and Chrono Boost for Protoss.[/quote] You can spam mules all day. A mule lasts 90secs

I disagree. There are some balance issues. I personally think ZvZ is boring as hell. But hard counters are no more prevelent in SC2 than the original. It's micro that makes soft counters viable, and that takes time to develop. The only thing I have a real problem with is autoattack priorities.

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="125" id="2576573"] Mules are terrible. Feedback is almost as useless as snipe is on ghosts. [/quote] Not at all. Mules provide ~270 minerals over thier lifespan while workers produce ~90. They're worth 3 SCVs already. And, when using Mules it doesn't matter if the minerals are saturated or not. So, even though Protoss and Zerg can produce workers quicker if they want(they also need to use boost/larva to produce units), once their mineral li

That's why it is called a cheese rush - if it doesn't succeed, you're supposed to be screwed long-term. But because Terrans have Mules, they can send all thier SCVs so you have to pull all your workers in respone, but they happily keep mining along, able to constantly produce marines. Zerg and Protoss starting units are both melee, so they bring the SCVs as a meatshield because of of worker autoattack and they're extra health. And if you do wall in, they just expand and start to beat y

Ah, splitshadow, SCVs still have 45 health while other workers have 40. They're still the strongest worker, just not by 50% anymore. Also, the nerf to SCVs and marines/reactors was because of early rushes that were unstoppable. Terrans would just build like 8 marines, attack with most/all of their SCVs, and there's nothing the other player could do to stop it except for a heavy wall or cheese back.

I had the same problem as you at first spacman. The fleet logistics trees are found by clicking the same research button you use to research frigates, but you click a a different tab on the left of the screen. Depending on if you're using vanilla, entrenchment, or diplomacy there are 3, 4, or 5 different tabs with different technologies in them. I think the fleet logistics is the very bottom one.
