- Cardassians ships have Fed names like "CDS Enterprise"; The name groups still have to be set. I did not checked for the other majors.
- When i met the Romulans, around turn 250 in a game from the beginning they only had 6 systems; I checked The did not encounter any other major power hindering them; at the time I was conquering the cardies and they had maybe 15, they would have had more if i was not on top of them; Also when i met Gawron a while later they had about 20. So i don't think it's the AI not developing. This was only a game, but i will keep an eye on Romulans on other games to see if this is an issue or just some bad luck for them.
- Gifts to minors are VERY effective; as feds met the Ferengi,they were hostile, declared war on me, gave them full gifts for 2 turns and then we were friends. Also with the other minors I met, it was very easy to get them on my side; maybe tune down a bit the gift effect;
- The special building described in the minors screen is sometimes not right; I guess you reused minors, and did not changed yet the description.
- Also some minors buildings are very effective (like +100% to wep or construction); others are (almost) useless (+100research from Ferengi costing 150 energy for the building, +100%local food but since there are hardly any farms needed any longer that mean 0); i know you are still working on minors, just mentioning these; The Xindi looks ready (apart from the ships); Xindi is a good example as they should be.
- Most of the useful buildings, like food replicators, energy bonus buildings are available early on and very cheap. That is great for the human player but the AI is dumb and will not take advantage of it. I would spread those buildings up to tech 18-20 and make them expensive.
- Also does the morale still applies as a modifier to main buildings output? because on the conquered systems i would say no; although they are defiant the output seems to be quite high. Morale was a big part of the economy but now only seems to prevent revolts and building destruction.
- No +morale for the native systems; only from the home system and if you can member certain minors. Can we please have at least one, maybe added to the trade center.
- The upgrade issue is there for all ships upgrades; fixable if you group the ships so it is a nuisance only for lonely ships.
- Love the "no confirmation for buying" feature;
- I have noticed that the task force icon in a sector is larger then in UDM; no problems with that, just that sometimes when trying to move ships i end up selecting the task forces in the destination; If possible i think the UDM smaller icons would be better.
But these are all just flavoring issues; the mod is already great and i enjoyed playing it as it is; I am sure will be much better when finised and dusted up. I can't wait to get home and try another major!
Big question: if i try installing MPR++ on top of this mod, will it work? There are a few features i am now missing (oh, how easy we get used to the good stuff and become spoiled). I miss the autosave, and a few other things from MPR++
.All in all, i am switching from UDM with MPR++ (and my awesome ship stats
) to this one. At least for a while.
) just to be sure and if they still seem strange to me i'll PM you with the actual names.
