Fleets mod up on Xelarus.

Try it out and report any bugs/suggestions here.

Could post a link to it here so to make it easier to find.

F50 · Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:30 pm

Here it is. I know I forgot the marauders and I am not sure about the larger armed CW Station. Oh and be careful, the fleets are quite a bit stronger than most regular encounters.

Also, what does the "attack" order do? And do ships with the "wander" order come back to hunt you when their base is dead?

1. no clue
2.no

the raid platform already wanders, so the maraduars are fine. you did miss the armed CW station. You should set the no reinforcement in SKs back because the gates are too well defended.

F50 · Sun Sep 02, 2007 10:24 pm

I never touched St. K's. Besides, there aren't any X's in St. K, so it would still be harder to deal with one CSC even without the Aquila Cruiser now guarding them. It should take some work to wipe out St. K. And before this it didn't get attacked. Now Drakes will periodically make attacks on St. K. even though it is supposedly the CW capital.

I will add Drakes and (more?) Tripoli groups to the Marauders in the next version nonetheless.

I will find the CW station and put it in.

So it has those aquilas in vanalla? and i noticed a number of reinforcments arriveing despite the fact that the red stations aren't supposed to be reinforced

F50 · Mon Sep 03, 2007 3:03 pm

the aquilas were heavy cruisers before (Gotha launcher, IonFlameCannon, missiledefense, and a few other goodies). I just blindly replaced them. If you would like a complete remove of the St. K section or post some other code to replace it then post it here. I don't really have any preferences in the St. K's section.

The Aquilas' presence really does make sense though if you consider St K's to be the capital of the CW.

(name here) · Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:54 pm

the noreinforcment tags need to be returned.

F50 · Tue Sep 04, 2007 2:52 am

Can you tell me what lines to place the <noreinforcement> </noreinforcement> tags?

I have added the marauders and the armed CW station to the mod.

Thanks.

(name here) · Wed Sep 05, 2007 12:38 am

put noreinforcment=true after every red station in the system.

EDIT: you should make a special station and set it up to not appear randomly, then put the aquilas that are supposed to be roaming SKs under it and have it appear at the redglow.

EDIT2: i think you just need to give it a new id and only put it in SKs table.

F50 · Wed Sep 05, 2007 1:40 am

The noreinforcement I understand and likely will be put in soon. But for the rest: post...code (the entire section please).

I think you need to create a station with a unique UNID, then insert it into the redglow station lists, and cut and paste the ships to under the station.

F50 · Thu Sep 06, 2007 1:12 am

I'll put this in and add Militia Defense Command center (basically a type of station entirely devoted to defending special stargates like St. K's) for the special station.

From digging through the depths of the forum, it looks like this only works if you use a replacement Transcendence.xml, instead of just an extension
