Uh...  Whoops?  Looks like the button is buggered.

We have plans for that. actually it will be a starbase upgrade for the borg only. Fits nicely within the lore. As the unicomplex is the only strucure that can build it

thanks

soa2 team

Did you build a research station. Because they will be blacked out till you do.

thanks jay

ok nps. We got it fixed now then b/c atm we cant replicate the issue. The window files were altered in a attempt to add all the races pics to the player pics setup window. Might have accidentaly did that . None the less we have corrected the issue. We more than likely will be doing a patch to correct the issue.

thanks jay

I keep having a problem trying to dl the Entrenchment version of the mod on the main post it says connect keeps timing out and resets.

Can someone give me some help?

thanks the updates and fleet size mod worked but the main didnt want to download but thx for the file

I'm having the same issues since this was first posted to the .  Gets to 1 sec left and freezes.  Tried it on 2 computers and both IE and Firefox....

Of course right when I log into these forums and start typing it the mirror Harpo posted worked.  That 10 minutes of 1 sec left is sneaky sneaky!

Thanks!

If you like, I will get your 6 races in the Player Setup window. Its a lot of work though and will take a little time because your UI is completely redone and I can't use any of my work. Mine is tested and runs perfectly.

Ok, another little update from me.

The Borg have gone from being a nice strength - not powerful to the point of pointlessness, not weak to the point of stupidity - to a stage where they're just ridiculously overpowered. In my current game, they assimilated 3 capital ships, 2 Phaser Platforms and a fully upgraded, fully defended starbase.

There's no point playing against them when they're like that - they jsut suck the fun out of it.

At least reduce the assimilation of Starbases and Capital ships to a level 6 ability.

Yeah, frigging starbases wont right themselves...  I haven't come up with a way to negate the effect that doesn't burn an ability slot on the starbases or remove them from the target list entirely.

The button placing and the graphic aren't properly aligned, so there is a spot where it works.

The AI isn't redone, the side is redone to work better with the AI.  Rewriting AI is something I could eventually do with a lot of time, but I'd have to crack the game first, a slightly illegal thing.

There are certain really retarded things Sins just wont do.  Most of the Borg problems centered around income.

The AI has no grasp of it's economic status, absolutely none.  It doesn't not set goals to achieve before spending down.  It does not take income into account when increasing fleet points.  It builds research stations regardless of a total inability to afford the research they unlock.

The easiest way to see just how retarded the AI is with money is to hop in the dev.exe, set yourself to ai controlled, and watch the show unfold.  It wont trade resources even when it has a stockpile of one in the thousands.  It wont save up for a more expensive capital ship.  It wont retain the resources necessary to actually establish the starbase it just queued up for construction.

The old Borg AI was crippled because despite research stations being cripplingly expensive, it would still build them just as if they weren't.  It would unlock new fleet upgrades, researching like crazy up the tree as it sat there with no army.  It would build unicomplex modules only to have them sit in perpetuity as they waited for money to pool high enough to finish their construction ability.  The end result was a side with no ships, but loads of research.

I locked it down from doing such stupidity by removing the problems.  Research being expensive cripples the side, so I made the stations take up 12 logistic slots, necessitating expansion to match their spending on it.  To avoid never seeing a Cube, I dropped the ship unlocks down to the first few levels and made research of ability and stat upgrades their primary expansion in power.  All of the starbase construction abilities are cheap enough for the bleeding AI to actually use them.

If you want to see the Borg AI in action, I suggest you play Wolf 359.
