Death Rumors Have Been Over Exaggerated

I just want to improve the mod by making the AI better, the tech tree more uniform, and the facilities and components more practicle.

I wanted to organize the files, enhance the racial traits, and standardize the shuttles and fighters. I basically wanted to get rid of what I thought was dis-organization within the mod.

I hope I have achieved this.

Improving the AI is a real PITA but I am getting it done. I suspect that I might have to enlist the help of some AI powerhouse like Rollo in order to get it right. I hope not to have too bother him, but I am keeping that option open. Besides, he might not even want to help so its best to leave him alone.

(Don't poke the Viking and you won't get sacked.)

oooooo....Rollo....say it again....

Rollo....shivers down my spine....

Rollo....The boogey-man of AI's....

Honestly, I'm just waiting until I can sink my teeth into it. Seeing all the time, effort, and thought you've been putting into these updates has me very interested, and drooling badly....

Once I get the construction files in order I will send you the new data files so you can play around with it and hopefully find some bugs for me to fix.

Congats AT, you've made a great mod even better. STM is certainly one of a most-polished, most-developed and long-living mod of all times.

Thanx so much !!! That'd be terrific.

I second that opinion. Of all the mods, the STM is certainly the most stylish and well-concieved I've played yet.

I've enjoyed playing the STM and I fully appreciate the long and hard work put into the creation of such a project. Thanks AT for creating this mod. I'd like to get a play test game going on PBW site if there's none going yet. It would be a great forum for testing all the new ideas and systems. Of course all the races would best be played by human player with positive feedback being a prerequisite! I guess it's just a matter of finding people with the time and willingness to stick out such an adventure. The game would not be based on combat as much as building and experimentation of all the new systems and fixes.

Just a thought!

CAn't wait to play this one. Of all the mods out there, this is the one i play the most, when I can. But I might have hope in the future. Bought a cheap computer from my dad-in-law, and am in the process of trying to get it to work (the video card has to be replaced, and I'm not sure of the ram and the os). Hopefully, if I can get this computer to work well enough, i can play SEIVG again real soon.
