It would be very nice if someone could edit this one day. It's so frustating when you try to conquer an advanced minor race (30 OBs) with warbirds. The population loss is 90-100%.Kurn wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 4:09 pmIs it possible to edit the random divisor so the number of extra OBs is always 1?Spocks-cuddly-tribble wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2011 2:27 pm Number of Extra OBs (1-5 ; instead of main research buildings)

Re: Minor Race Advancement
It's a simple hex value at 0x516D1 in trek.exe.
The Ultimate Editor has an asm -> hex location converter if you have trouble with this.(1-2 bytes off due to opcodes)
If you change the default 05 to 01 the minor races get a maximum of two OBs per evolution jump (1 + random 0-1 extra [50% +1 OB or main research]).
But there is also the option to bribe them.

I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.

There is the alternative to use cheap scouts as damage soaks instead of expensive warbirds with too much firepower.

Re: Minor Race Advancement
Well, even with the cheapest Romulan scouts 2 plus min one TT 2 its a min loss of 49k, so my bribe suggestion might be cheaper and faster given the fleet build time. Unless you play ECM and are short on credits due to the very low ship scrapping revenue....

Re: Minor Race Advancement
If bribing is an option, then it usually is the best option.
