Re: Intel

This one makes a big difference for T4/5 Cardassians/Romulans: 2.1 Always-100% Intel-Area-Bonus Bug-fix Playing vanilla Cardassians (+30% Obsidian Order) allocating each 1% espionage/sabotage hurts the enemy with 62% of your total intel output. Correct calculation is just 2.6% of your total intel ou...

Re: Incorrect 'Winner' movie

Yes, but when they are gone they can't win anymore. :wink:
So if the map layout prompts eliminating the Ferengi first, this works too (unless this triggers Klingon or Romulan victory :idea: ).

Re: Intel

So essentially that was vanilla bug/flaw that hurts Roms? err The bug gives vanilla Romulans an extra cheat advantage of +25% manned intel output local in Romulus (Tal Shiar should be only global empire wide). Still no serious gamechanger and the least important of the three listed. Vanilla T8 Roms...

Re: Intel

From a vanilla or ECM standpoint, I wonder how this pans balance wise. Given vanilla/ECM default settings is a nice extra touch, but not really a game changer (balance wise). These have much more impact: - 2.1 Always-100% Intel-Area-Bonus Bug-fix - 2.2 Attack frequency difficulty level bias-fix - %...

I also noticed a lot of bots in this topic, i wonder if it might be due to Spocks-cuddly-tribble comments lol :shock: I noticed a steady increase of guests/bots for some weeks, so I thought they might more and more bypass your page protection workarounds. :sad: Feel free to delete any problematic p...

Re: Incorrect 'Winner' movie

That's the default vanilla Vendetta feature and NOT a bug: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=27090#p27090 (bottom of post) Klingons and Romulans are the two Vendetta enemies of the Ferengi, so by terminating them with the Ferengi still in game, they won :wink: (you los...

Re: Vanilla Evade/Retreat Crash fix

I would expect it would be simpler if we just prevent reading distance points/switch points so they just don't happen. but these locations have not been found yet. The analysis is awful time consuming. LOD codes we see are part of 'shading' labeled code (QD IDA) and might be loaded via function poi...

Re: Vanilla Evade/Retreat Crash fix

but don't know how removing _a would even help, other than maybe using a different sub like the subs for billboards (billboards use single file and no "_a" Yes, simple code for non-ABCabc HOB files has no switches for dynamic composed name strings (used for _A, _B, _C). Means the prefix f...

Re: Vanilla Evade/Retreat Crash fix

in my tests earlier this week was crash without _a I'm aware, this requires further code tweaks. The question is: Requires sharing slots file name extensions like "_"? If we force non-ABCabc HOB code for all files (this would remove internal trek.exe array data for the two A copies) would...

Re: AFC site status

We already wrapped up a deal to sell the domain as cover-up portal for dark web operations to a global weapon dealer.
And that sort of folks does not respond all too well to cancelation.... :wink: :wink: :wink:

Re: Vanilla Evade/Retreat Crash fix

That's your call what's best and easiest for the multi installer. No idea how many MB removing all B/C HOBs would save. With more research code could be optimized and stuff like station shading addressed (monsters?), but the simple trek.exe workaround "Disable usage of _b.hob and _c.hob" -...

Re: What strategy would you go for here to beat the Klingons?

The vanilla AI is a joke. It can't even build shipyards in extra starting systems since it must keep in min distance of three sectors to the next own yard: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=34174#p34174 That and the fact that it can't build some of its best ships is no...

Re: Credits from ship scrap. Adjusting

It means your star system needs a yard in order to get any ship scrapping revenue. MP folks mostly scraps colony and TT ships the same turn and the same location they were built, so it doesn't matter since there is a yard anyway. But sometimes if you steal a useless ship via intel it might get reloc...

Re: Making a spacefaring minor + options

The simple mod has two big issues:

- all minors need min two ships available for lowest evolution level tech -> else crash in build ship screen
- conquered empire systems allow building their ships (updated via their current tech levels :shock: ) -> game balance issues
