[quote who="JTAYLORPCS" reply="680" id="2530054"]Hello Everyone, The main topic now seems to be about the AI. So lets just dispell some theories on the AI. Since the latest patch. The AI has improved five fold. The AI still seems to have issues with the CAPITAL ships being locked up in research. That is why the ai will turtle on people till its ready to attack. The fleet balancing has improved as well. As many of the team members have already sa
[quote who="QuicktoDraw" reply="667" id="2529247"] just_jim, it sounds like you should make a movie of that and post it here/youtube like Major Stress suggested. [/quote] I thought about that myself, so I'm going to try later today. But as stupid as this sounds, I'm not sure how... just aim the video camera at the TV/Moniter screen? The big problem, and this addresses what Loki just said about the Unicomplex, is I haven't been
[quote who="Dragoon4ever" reply="657" id="2528807"]I almost lost a fully upgraded unicomplex to the AI doing that. One wave hits, then the next, then another and so on. Blew away over half it's hp before I could convince them a fleet of 12 cubes were a bigger threat lol. The unicomplex while powerful is nowhere near invulnerable. Very good at keeping small fleets from being a pain but deffinitely can be put in danger if you don't give it a support fleet. [/quote] OK, s
[quote who="JTAYLORPCS" reply="651" id="2528661"]Ok now on to the unicomplex. It is completly possible to destroy a fully upgraded Unicomplex!!!! Albiet a very time consuming and expensive effort. A few tips on taking down starbases in general. Use your long range and antimodule weapons . We also went as far as to design anti borg abilties. Yes thats right , Weapons that specifically target the borg. The federation and Klingon Empire have these atm. Some one abo
OK, I realize the Unicomplex is unbelievably overpowered... But isn't that the point??? They're supposed to be nearly indistructable... nearly ... Still so you all know, I lost a level 6 unicomplex last night... I was playing the AI 3 against 1: The Feds, Klinks and Rommies vs me as Borg. All 3 AI's were set to unfair, and after about an hour (maybe 2) of just little stuff, the
[quote who="ice27828" reply="578" id="2526293"]As regards to the patch, when you people release it, can you release a version that doesn't require a program to install it, there are people here who know how to install patches for themselves so and do not want a program do it for them.... maybe a rar and a msi version please.... [/quote] Yeah, if it'll save bandwidth especially, I don't need an installer... just the .rar like usual is fine.
[quote who="admiralrain" reply="567" id="2525617"]i have one request, could you make it to where the scout cubes, can actually scout [/quote] I did that myself, just add the ability to the Scout Cube Entity file. It's easy
[quote who="Speedy2511" reply="543" id="2524577"]Hi just_jim, thank you for your answer. I live in the near of Dortmund. Do you know Dortmund? I testet it with easy and normal difficulty. Only at the random maps the AI is doing and building something. Maybe i should set the AI on Agressive? Greetings Nico [/quote] Dortmond... I know the name, but I don't think I was ever there. You're
[quote who="Speedy2511" reply="539" id="2524495"]Hi guys. First this is a wonderfull mod. But i have a question: Can i only play the random map? When i choose one of the original maps the AI is sitting at their homeplanet and is doing nothing. I tried it with the klingons and the Feds. With a random map everythink is fine. Greetings from Germany Nico [/quote] Nico... First off where in are you in Germany?&n
[quote who="tesb" reply="537" id="2524386"]is there an eta for the next patch? the sceduled month would suffice [/quote] (please say Feb please say Feb please say Feb...hehehe)
Stress, I had a thought when you said "perciecved threat"... until your storyline began the Borg didn't perceive the Alpha Quadrant as a threat. But we did get to see them reacting to a real threat.... once. I know you don't necessarily like Voyager, but think back to Scorpion, near the beginning before 8472 showed up... Voyager is trucking along, and then everything started rumbling, eventually got so bad it knocked them out of warp... lo and behold

[quote who="Mystic Angel" reply="497" id="2522992"]Just wait until the next patch... I've been working on some stuff that should give the Borg an even more terrifying and epic feel (see BOBW Parts 1 & 2, and First Contact, Battle of Sector 001). We're also keeping our fingers crossed for the unicomplex to make an appearance as well. [/quote] I don't remember the Battle of Sector 001 exactly, but I've seen BOBW 100 times at least and I'm tryi
[quote who="psychoak" reply="496" id="2522956"]Um... You screwed up. Pirates haven't been rescaled to go with the fleet numbers, either experience wise or damage wise. That would be suicide against someone else, robbing you of experience and giving it to your opponent. Leave the pirates be till they get turned into SOA2 version pirates. [/quote] No, I noticed... these are just practice... [e digicons]:borg
OK, this is not a bug, just an observation after really getting the hang of them... The BORG are Terrifying!!!!!! Now that I've had a chance to play around with them, I'm finding that the true power of the Borg is definitly assimilation.... I just started a new game, me against the Fed, Klinks and Roms all set to random unfair, 3 vs. me. When it started I let the scouts go looking
[quote who="psychoak" reply="72" id="2522307"] I know what you mean. It would be nice to send all the brainless fluffballs into space, wouldn't it? Next time I think you're making fun of the situation, I'll pretend you're serious and not carry on the joke, ok? [/quote] naaa, I figured you were joking... but some of the replies make me wonder...
[quote who="psychoak" reply="62" id="2522225"]Yeah, you can shit in your space suit for a few years both ways, it would be totally awesome! [/quote] I'm beginning to wish I had just kept my mouth shut... some of you are so hateful... Makes me wish I could get off this rock just to get away from all the hate.
All I want is to go ice-fishing on Europa... that's all... see if anything is alive under there.. And we have the technology to make that happen right now!!!
[quote who="Luckmann" reply="39" id="2522014"]Phew. I was afraid we'd get an Americommunistic Moon Base there for a while. Good thing Obama keeps the wheel of history turning in the right direction. The more we follow the path of cyclical time, the sooner we'll get back to something worthwhile. [/quote] Actually did you ever watch Firefly or Serenity? The storyline there is with the fall of the USSR the only superpowers left were the United States and China... so

Excellent... it came out! OK, I drew red circles around them... see??? Those little white squares... I don't know what they are, except I'm pretty sure they shouldn't be there...
OK, let's see if this works. I just took a screenshot of the Borg Coffin and the little white square graphic bug... [IMG]http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee70/yimini/BorgCoffin001.jpg[/IMG] It comes and goes and i'm not sure what it's supposed to represent. Also sometimes there's even smaller white sparkles (???) around it.
