I tried playing around but nothing really seemed to have "fixed" it. Setting the "view" seemed to help a tiny bit (as in I can click on my ship now where as before all the ships were invisible), but all the ships, even the command vessels seem tiny in comparison to how they looked in say in the BoP mod.
Also, I don't think it's a graphics error/incompatibility issue because I've had 0 lag/crashes and when I hit "turn" to initiate the battle, the view sort of zooms in and I can see all the ships move and fire accordingly. So... yeah, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Great graphics though from what I was able to see and really slick ships.
edit: While on the modding subject, I've two questions. I really like the over all feel of this mod and the Dominion race, but I find myself wishing for a few features that was key to BoP. I was wondering if I could somewhat easily modify those areas:
1. Is there a way to modify the terraforming speed globally? I love how you actually need a fleet of colony ships and protective flotilla when colonizing disputed spaces. It looks like all the colony ships had the same speed but the terrforming value on planets was ramped up 100x in BoP across the board. I was looking to do just that but can't find a field for it in UE. I rather liked that feature in BoP, but not a biggie and I can absolutely understand why that might be so hot in a more multi-oriented mod.
2. Somewhat a bigger deal and probably more to the mods or maybe just Thunder. I really liked the reduced damages and reduced scaling in BoP's ships. I'm willing to load up UE to do some edit, but my concern is was the AI combat adjusted in any significant way between the two that would defeat my purpose? I.e. my fear is having a huge battle where I do 1/3 damage to their shields and the AI just run away after every single turn or something like that.
If that's not an issue, here's what I'm planning and maybe modders who have balancing experience can briefly comment. My current idea is to use a couple of the later ship classes as base (BoP battleship vs. UDM late BS but not the crazy 40k ones) and reduce the overall damage of most UDM classes by 25-33%. Won't touch hull/shield/shield regen or weapon # for most part because they would like complicate and unbalance things. I'll likely have to reduce the top ships by more and maybe shave off most of their shield regen, which is likely imba after my changes and change the lower level ships less. My goal would be to narrow the differences between the middle/lower destroyers/cruisers and top battleships purely for SP enjoyment of course.
Basically my plan: Reduce damage across the board => lower shield regen of caps => raise hull (a few ships that seem too weak afterwards) when playing. Real good stuff guys! Best/most fun mod I've played in a long time.
