Out of curiosity, would it be possible to use the Drain Resources ability as an assimilation weapon that can be fired at ships? I tried it and got a minidump, but I might've been doing something wrong because I'm not terribly smart. But if it could be made to work, it would make for some very different and more in-character Borg. Assimilating ships by just taking them over isn't their MO.

But imagine (and I know this will probably never work) if you set the Borg up like this:

They get one ship--a capital ship cube. They can't colonize worlds or build asteroid mines. Their entire economy is based on draining resources from enemy ships (all of their weapons would have this effect). In the early game they'd get by assimilating planetary defenders, and later they'd gain resources in combat with other players.

Three things would keep them from rushing and killing everyone in the early game: first, the cube would have to level up before it poses a serious threat to a player fleet. Second, their high hull regeneration rate could be an in-culture bonus (call it the collective), so they'd be much more vulnerable in hostile or neutral territory. And third, with only one ship (at least in the early game - their fleet caps could be manipulated to allow a second cube to be built later on if you collect enough resources) an attack on another player's empire would leave their homeworld virtually unprotected.

Anyway, I'm having a blast with the mod even in it's unstable and unbalanced state, so keep up the good work.

Can't yet. Read the last post by SOA2 Team - it says the first Entrenchment release will be in roughly two weeks.

Yeah, I figured the AI would spaz out if you tried something like that, considering it can't even handle not having a siege frigate. My minidump happened when I equipped a Vasari light frigate with the Resource Drain ability - it was cast, the effect started up, and then bam, crash.

Mooster wtf you talking about they allready have it and its not that unstable or atleast the version i have aint (IT depends on IF you are playing with live sync activated) TURN IT OFF when your playing the mod if you play the mod with live sync on the mod is unstable as files are being altered added removed etc

and what shimmer ment about ELITE to CAPITALSHIP is just the naming convention nothing else

Hey, give Loki a break, he and Shimmer are mostly the only modders working on the mod right now. He's been busy and missed that, so what.

In reply to vfa113, yeah do exactly as posted, download livesync and pm Shimmer with your email address.

The only released versions of the mod will not work on Entrenchment. If you are talking about the beta version it is only for Entrenchment.

hey,

can u guys make perhaps a video about the battles with the new fighter looks?

would be so cool. looking forward to entrenchment version ^^

Mike19054, the latest version of the Star Trek mod for sin vinalla is .03c so you need to update that version and in that version, you will need to delete the Galaxy section cause the maps don't work anymore and this mod is for entrenchment, in which d was skipped becuase it was intented for released but they decided not to go with it cause they decide to go cumlative on the update on e

I have been testing the ships that work currently, it seems that that we can't level the ships past 1 right now, why is that?

hi darkshimmer just wodering if its to late to join the beta of the mod? i sent you a pm to.

thanks

So where do I get the C version

it has prob been disabled then

or it it has been broken it will be fixed in due time but that is not the top priority atm

thanks for the reply, cepp the good work upp
