Advertising Star Trek A New Era

[wilhil]

I have never ever played a multiplayer game, I have only played solo, but I just love the star trek mod and I really want to do a first multi.

if I want to join this game (and you want me!) what do I actually have to do? and also what should I need to know (is there a faq) to get me familiar, or general things i need to do before going multi?

Thanks

Hey NullAshton!

if you like the Gorns for playing please join the game.

To all of you!

I will close new player joining at Tuesday evening 20:00 o´clock European Summer Time so make sure to have joined till then.

Okay to all who haven´t downloaded my mod till now!

There is a new post labeled ralf´s Star Trek Mod.
I have attached the mod files there ( 10 MB)

For all those who haven´t heard till now:

You must have Atrocities Star Trek Mod 1.9.1.2 and them copy my modfiles into that folder as it is no stand alone mod but a modification of named mod.

WilHil and NullAshton please check that post and download your files there!

to all!
The attachment here need to be unzipped into your race/generic folder!
It contains some ships for the generic races in order to rn them properly!

I promise in game I will give a nice fight! but I just dont know intel!

I am trying to understand what you are saying, so each completed intel project gives me some points, and then each intel project against me takes away a completed project, so basically I should always have a completed intel project... or do I only have counter intel points whilst the research is in progress, and when it is complete that is it?... am I best to just have a few spy centers on each planet and just have 12 counters going at all time!?

sorry but as I said this is the only area I do not know.

as for playing the game, I am downloading the mod right now, can ?I? just upload the default shipset, as I am not to sure on how to make the changes... I love the game, just dont understand fully how it works!

or if there are some changes I should make, please can you just give me the lowdown on what is recommended.

Thanks

Ok it works like this.

say I generate 50K intel points a turn. I have counter intelligence 3 (In fact I could choose CI 1,2 or 3, but since each point in a partly completed CI3 project counts as 3 point as opposed to merely 1 or 2 I would use CI 3) and have been putting points into a CI 3 project for a few turns such that I have a total of 499K stored in it. The nasty aliens launch an intelligence attack at me with a project worth 10K points. My CI 3 project is reduced by 10K/3=3333, so at the end it now only has 495.7K.

When you start Intel attacks try launching a lot of expensive ones to reduce their defences so that the Intel attacks you really want can get through (only if you reduce all their CI to nothing) Either launch lots of attacks in a row if you have massive amounts of intel points, or cue them all up to be completed at same time (by sharing the points among them eg Have 5 projects sharing the points each turn so that the turn they all finish you suddenly attack the other person with practically 5 times as much as you generate a turn).

Anyway, say I forget to move my CI project to the end of the list and it is completed the beginning of the next turn NO!!!!, I just lost the 500K points I had stored. When this happens you get a message saying your CI project was unsuccesful. Well it was damn well working till it finished. Don't ask me why it's set up this way, Intel is considered to be flawed as generally those with the most points can gang up and decimate the opponents Intel efforts.

Edit: If I might suggest, you can read the newbie FAQ sticky. I didn't even know CI had an inherent +20% modifier.

[wilhil]

saying intel is flawed... that is why i dont even bother to play with it...

I guess I will just have as I said a few intel generating things, and then make them just produce 12x ci 2 as i think that is all that is allowed as orion...

also last question, what changes shall I make to upload my files? I amnot sure what is allowed :S I guess I disable the 2 , research and pirate colony tech, but I was wondering what does this actually do?

Thanks

First of all, go here: http://pbw.cc/graphic/index.jsp

At the top left of the page should be a FAQ link (the question mark). If the FAQ link isn't there, you probably have to register first, then you'll have access to the FAQ, and you'll have the ability to join multiplayer games. You'll have to first know what your host is planning on naming the game of course. That should get you started, and it should be easy to figure out from there. If you get stuck, post here and we'll help you out.

I registered and want to play in this game if possible.

I want to play as oriopns as I guess they are all that is left, but I am not sure how to :S

I do not really understand shipsets, I simply downloaded the mod and played it! what files shall I upload, or are there any changes to make?

also one thing I do when I play at home on my own is disable applied inteligence as I didnt really like this part of the game, when I am in the game obviously it will be on and I am happy to do it, but I know nothing about it! how many spy places should I build and do you just keep counter on :S any help here is appreciated!

Thanks
