Hi Chero,

Would it be possible to give the Ferengi (as a Minor Race) a Starbase? If I overwrite a Shiptextur with UE into a Starbase, set the speed to 0 & give 'em higher production costs?

Not unless you use edo for Ferengi and use guardian as starbase

I thought about changing Edo to the Bajorans and give them an Indestructible DS9

for UDMIV.

Thats a great idea. My thought was to give the Ferengi abit of this empire/major back. I give 'em early small raider & later the marauder class.

the number is going down quick now only 6 more

anyway I thought it would be other way around. You asking to use them in All the Ages mod.

I spent 3 nights retexturing some of the vanilla ships for it. About all I can do as I can't make my own

Hi Everyone,

I got some good progress today, I am down to 4 minor ship left. but removed warship from Edo and Mintakans so they will have only troop transposts and colony ships. but might give there troop transport only races to have advantage of cloak

and more advanced colony ship.

I also got lexicon corrected for starbase upgrading 1-4 as well as added upgrade warship for all other minors at tech 8. (to be able to build type II, minor must be advanced to tech 8 before becoming member or subjugated!)

right now ship list is 255 ships

(max currently allowed)

Still left to do;
4 more minor ships
major ship stats changes
add install option for larger maps when installing with differant reg setting for each.
create complete readme
try to find why all minor warships are now being listed as flagship. (I could live with this but would like corrected if possible)
maybe a new opening videos and load videos for each race (could use some help with this

) now this is possible.

this is a longer list than it looks

1-2 weeks (without videos)

but progress is going good.

here is like to latest previews of minor ships.

I love the progress of all our modders of the original botf. In my point of view there is a faster progress and break through than in botf 2 projects.

@ Chero,

I hope you balance all those ship stats well & i desire the same fetures for the next UDM (all minors with ships...).

Since you said tech advancement of source empires affects subjugated systems, I suspected "silent advancement"(see Gowron) of minors causes the same effect. As seen by auto upgrading of buildings.

According to Gowron 255 + monsters, iirc.
