Star Trek Dilithium War - Official Thread

[LoganSimonsen]

I really like this map/mod. I think it's cleaver the way you have integrated technology upgrades. Not that I have anything specifically in mind, but I was wondering if you have thought about expanding on this mod with more maps or any different versions? Good job.

[Frostion]

@LoganSimonsen I am glad you like the Star Trek map I think it is a fun map with some unique features. But I don't have any plans on expanding it or making new Star Trek maps. At the most I will fix any identified map bugs, imbalances or game engine related problems.

I am working on a new un-announced map at the moment. This map will make use of some of the same features as the Star Trek map, like randomly placed resources, upgradable units, high quality sound and music and actually also hexagonal sea territories. But besides that, the new map will be totally different and with a totally different theme So stay tuned.

@frostion I haven't played yet but looks cool. Will try to get a game goin though. Nice job. I do have some preliminary feedback however.

1. Typo: In opening notification, the mission objective should reading "6 starting locations" not "6 staring locations ".

2. Rank images are identical, was this intended? Nevermind, I see now, looks like these are similar to stars and accumulate as rank increases.

3. Set AI via xml to preselect a non human AI. If left human it asks to select unowned territories and can't advance.

4. I don't recall, exactly but there may have been a new feature added to not show everything in the help page. Or I might be confusing it with tooltip only. Anyways this would allow you to not list planets for each nation, for streamlining the help page.

   Actually looks like this feature doesn't allow fine tuning yet, it is for all or none areas only.

@frostion The in game communication center is neat idea. Can I order pizza with it too .

[Frostion]

@General_Zod Thx for the feedback. I will look at those issues and update the xml when I got the time. They are now on the to-do list The different races have their own unique rank pins/pips/insignia, so this is not an error. Please keep an eye out for other unidentified issues that might be handled at the same time also.

I will see if I can implement an option where the commander's communication center can order pizza. That is a great idea! I think all the races would like the human dish pizza as it is highly customizable. I can imagine a klingon pizza with blood-sauce and targ meat balls. Maybe I can implement a link to dominos in a notification window or something

@frostion 20 light years or its free! (And yes I am aware that light years are a measure of distance not time)

Feels like it should be a Ferengi pizza shop!

@hepps @Frostion @General_Zod Even the red head laughed

Feeling the pressure a neighboring Galaxy competes for a share of the market-place based on the trend to Italian based cuisine.

@General_Zod Is the above settings for player "AI" how they should be in regards to the issue you mentioned?

[General_Zod]

@frostion Yep, That looks like it's correct.

[LoganSimonsen]

I just downloaded a new update today, anything major or just small fixes?

[Frostion]

@LoganSimonsen It is two months since any update. And it has only been very small changes, not anything you would notice

[Hepps]

@Frostion Just the new pizza delivery feature!
