[quote who="NHD-151" reply="1850" id="2812535"] He means that if there are 10 players, all federation, then it's less memory because the game only uses the federation resources instead of feds, borg, klinks, rommies, AND dominion resources all at once. [/quote] Oh, I gotcha... that makes sense.
[quote who="psychoak" reply="1844" id="2810892"]Memory usage is probably the culprit. Say you play a 10 player game with all the sides the same, you've got lots of cpu usage running all those AI, but only art assets for that one side are being used. A four player game with four different sides would be using more. [/quote] OK, wait, I'm confused... Your saying it's better on the memory to play 1 vs 9??? Or 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1,
[quote who="dlmoridin" reply="1796" id="2805124"] Wolf 359 was a Pyrric (Spelling?) victory, the federation did infact win but lost so much of the fleet you could discribe it as a defeat. but if the borg ai is tougher now cant wait to get up against them. in the past the domninons levithan killed a couple of my games, its a little overpowered for a starting captial ship. just my opinion. Dark Lord Moridin [/quote] My game was no victo
OK, this was funny... it didn't matter that I reset the game to outnumber the Borg over 2:1... I changed things like I said as far as capital ships and supply points, and set up a small 20 planet galaxy map designed for a 1vs1 slugfest. I also went in and changed the galaxy.def so the militia's own their planets and are more jacked up. I always thought the militia's were underpowered... plus it seems more realistic to me to have to bomb the planet to take control of it.&
[quote who="JTAYLORPCS" reply="1785" id="2803667"] PEOPLE STOP COMPLAINING ON THE BORG AND PLAY THE MOD AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED AS A TEAM. the borg will roll over you with a single person or ai . The borg are meant and are the game stopper as a race will rol over you unless you us all the resource research and alliance at your disposal. If not YOUR DEAD!!!!!! AND ASMIMLATED [/quote] I am not complaining... quite the opposite. I lik
OK, so I have a question... does it take the combined race's abilities to bring down the Borg, or is it just a question of numbers? I haven't had much time to play, but I can get in a quick game tonight, and what I was wondering is this, Would it be possible for the federation to win a game if the Borg only had half or maybe a third the number of capital ships and supply points? The storyline could be it's a borg advanced assimilation force, whatever... I don't care. Wha
OK, my world is normally pretty haunted so odd things here and there don't normally bother me, but this is really creeping me out... Day before yesterday I posted I can't change my player name... you guys said cool we'll fix it. But today, just 5 minuts ago, it worked! HOW??? I didn't download any patch or update from anyone... I'm not on the Mod team... so I'm thinking I have a haunted version? You guys made the AI so good it's self correcting??? [e digicons]8C[/
[quote who="JTAYLORPCS" reply="1732" id="2790321"] Quoting just_jim, reply 1731 Yes, I had a military research station and was researching, that's how I could see the spot where it's supposed to be was glowing. But the button itself didn't appear when I built the station. ok nps. We got it fixed now then b/c atm we cant replicate the issue. The window files were altered in a attempt to add all the races pics to the player pics

OK, this is a cool update! I only spottted one more small bug so far... when playing as the Borg (I don't know about the other races), the button at the top of the HUD to go to the research tree is missing. It'll glow when your researching something, but just looks like a glowing black rectangle where the button should be. But if you click where it should be you'lll still get to the research tree, so you can still play the game. Just thought you should know..
OK, I've been playing with it a bit and so far I really like the changes. Especially to the Borg research trees. But I'm puzzled by one thing, maybe it's a bug. I can't change my player name. It's frozen on "Starfleet", which looks a little silly if I'm playing as the collective. Other than that so far I'm liking this a lot!!!
[quote who="wbino" reply="1723" id="2789195"] Just a thought..instead of the carry over Advent "Lingering Presence" (kinda spacey for feds?)for Feds scouts how about Distress Beacon : Starship deploys a distress beacon just before catastrophic hull failure in it's last known location. [/quote] Gotta admit, Distress Beacon definitly fits the story line!
Oh hey, cool, and update!!! I've been busy the last few days and honestly not really paying attention. Did someone say the Borg and rebels are ramped up? COOL!!! I've been hoping for a tougher game. Oh, completely off topic, but not really... the other day I was channel surfing and saw Enterprise was on... I was going to just keep going, but the intro was all weird and different... and very very dark!!! I thought hmmmmmmm... this is interesting.&n
[quote who="chico87" reply="1510" id="2688574"]Anyone else having trouble seeing the last 4 replies on the previous page (not to mention the fact that there's not a reply box either)? Did the bottom of the page get chopped off from too much space taken up by replies? [/quote] I lost it for a few days too, but now I can reply again... I blame the Gremlins [e digicons]:troll:[/e]
Hey, the answer thing is back!!! I haven't been able to reply for days. OK, whoever asked about adding the Distant Stars worlds, I've been working on my own version of that, and so far it's only kinda working. Distant Stars is a very involved mod, with not just new worlds, but also lots of new planetary bonuses and abilities. So far I've been able to add the solar system planets and have it playable, but I'm still having mini-dumps trying to exit the game, and I have
I think in the case of the Fed starbase it's worth the extra space... being able to see inside is pretty cool looking...lol...
TohKlidan, Just so ya know i've been working the last couple weeks combining your planets into the SoA2 Mod, the big Star Trek mod. So far it's woring great, but still I'm not planning on setting it up for people to download, I don't honestly know how, and besides for you I'd also need permission from the SoA2 team. So this is just for me to play here at home, but still I wanted to let you know what I was up to, and thank you for adding such realism to the game!!!&nbs
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="1440" id="2645982"]Our pirates failed more than likely because we used more than just the Borg. We used Romulan, Klingon, Jem hadar, and Cardassian as well. We wanted "random" faction raids. We had to mess with the galaxy def, and the gameplay constants, and frak i forgot which file that had the pirate raid weights in it. It would work for the first few raids, then dumps whenever a severe raid came up. Of course dev.exe and the debug log would give us no
hehehe, yeah, I know I'm crazy, and I might have finally screwed myself... more on that later... I wonder why your Borg pirates didn't work?? I had no problem with them. I just readjusted the Gameplay.constants file and swapped out Pirate ships with Borg ships, added a Scout Cube and it ran fine. The only other thing I did was add the Scout Cube to the Galazy.Scenario.def file so I could plunk a few here and there with Galaxy Forge... maybe that made a dif
OK, Call me crazy, but I had a thought about my MOD. Now I like fighting the Borg, and I'm still bummed the AI can't keep up. I know you wrote tehm to be tough, but I can still beat them 1 on 1 against the AI set to unfair, no matter the race. I'm hoping the Diplomacy SOa2 MOD is a better challange. So i thought I'd spice things up a bit. i was looking at the Powerful Pirates MOD, and I finally realized how to modify a Pirate raiding party. So now in my m
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="1429" id="2640817"]As i said on the SOP threads, and am saying here now. Any graphical enhancement mod run over SOP, or SoA 2 once SOP is incorporated will defeat the entire purpose of the optimizations, because the enhancements will override the optimized files. Increasing your ram usage instead of decreasing it. I had the very same problem with dumps on exit on my old laptop running windows XP SP3. Except it dumped running vanilla sins as well. On
Hey everyone... well, I can't find what's mini-dumping my game yet... weird. It plays fine, but when I quit it dumps. I've been over everythng 3 times and I can't find a typo anywhere. Oh well, it still plays. But I wanted to mention my daughters motherboard blew up last week, so I got her a laptop for her graduation. What's cool is I took the RAM chips from her old tower and put them in mine (they're compatable) and ramped up my RAM from 3 gigs to 6 gigs.
Hey guys on the Mod team, I have a question if you have a second. Since everyone is busy and it looks like the next version will be a while, which, BTW, is fine... I know Stress and everyone is busy. But since it looks like it's gonna be a while I figured I'd play around and add the planets from Distant Stars into my copy of SoA2, at least the ones from our own solar system. So far that's what I've done, imported everything to make the Solar System planets playable.
[quote who="JTAYLORPCS" reply="1161" id="2580282"] hehe yup the 0.4e series indeed, Where about in florida are you @ ?, I just moved back to the treasure coast. Also incorportated the optimization project into soa2 just havent had enought time to test it our fully, once I have more time we will release a update. thanks josh [/quote] I'm on the Gulf coast about an hour north of Tampa
hehehe... I knew if I poked the Mod team with a stick someone would answer...hehehe Actually the truth is I haven't played in a couple weeks either. There's a huge N/A music festival here in Florida in 3 weks, and I found out I made the finals in the flute players competition. Besides $$$, there are huge bragging rights at stake.. hehehe. So right now I spend pretty much all day every day practicing... I can't get distracted and start screwing around..
