Birth of the Federation

Even if the EDO are part of a player empire and not AI, there still might be a connection with one-per-empire structures and your wonder build order type 8?

ordInfo ... a special wonder build order type 8 (and likely also a matching result). It is a very plain entry, which only consists of the ordInfo header and: 0x0 - 0x1: the system id the order is assigned to 0x2 - 0x3: the building id / structure index to build 0x4 - 0x7: always 1 it seems I rememb...

here again we might find a better patch implementing some trek.exe extension, if at all it remains any relevant. I mean how might I ever go about implementing a new BotF combat system when all the time I keep messing with the old one? :lol: Of course, I meant handle the features in the most comfort...

Torpedoes are less efficient against shields, yes. Same as in BotF. Just keep in mind it's a by default unused feature in BotF, semi-implemented in the sense that the tactical event report (doing/taking X points of damage) doesn't even display the right values. A special branch of ECM is the only m...

I could easily track it down to the diplomatic order action, which was set to -1. Setting it to 0 fixed the bug. :cool: second ordInfo war declaration entry (...) almost each value of the diplomatic order was different. Nonetheless, fixing the action value solved the bug. :eek: Nice, this narrows d...

I recall the situation. It mostly happens if there is a bribing/bidding war with another empire i.e. some hidden counts are not in your favour. Might also be a glitch (one time I failed to turn a minor even after more than 30 maximum possible bribes) or special codes for certain minor races/personal...

Borg TacCube shield recharge reduced to 10%. Just as a reminder, BotF uses a fixed recharge value, no percentage. Shield Strength / Recharge: Borg Cube - 6100 / 185 Edo God - 6350 / 235 So even a recharge rate of 10% per turn is still high compared to the fixed defaults, more aggravated using firep...

The main problem was that neither side could actually penetrate the other's shields, because of the high recharge rates. This repeated shields recharge issue in Supremacy sounds strange. A poorly armed support ship vs an unarmed hub/station is the only understandable special case for the issue, but...

So if I send a demand to another race, will it reduce my relationship bar drop? A bit (more if they accept IIRC) and the bad experiences count increases. You can do something 'good' to compensate like attacking ships of their enemies. The same happens if you send frequent proposals and get rejected...

Just the link should be fine. Alternatively copy/paste upper text (part above the quote with the joke links).

One other crash I get every other savegame load is: trek.exe 0x000b6c66 This one sometimes even shows up when I solely keep loading unmodified vanilla games. But with modified files it often becomes more frequent. With some games it repeatedly already shows up each second time I load the save. Then...

I won!

Outstanding Victory! Congratulations! How about a detailed after action report of this challenging match?

I think it is time to wrap up this update. (end of march) Is this only update currently needed for ECM? Sorry for the delay. Yes, I think ECM is good to go. :wink: I lost a considerable amount of Defiants vs the Cardassian AI :evil: , but auto-battle is still exploitable, even against Borg. Also I ...

I passed Tech level 6 and nothing happened for the Tamarians but when I got up to 8 for all techs, the Breen popped and when I made them members, I could build their ships. Just to be clear it's about the (hidden) minor race tech levels. You own tech levels don't matter for this feature, even after...

There is the the viewable regard value and also hidden counts for good/bad experiences vs each empire. Pay up + ignore/reject - In most cases paying AI requests increases the chance of them not attacking you and/or teaming up with another empire against you. But if your empire is too weak, military ...
