In what will be the last EEK mission pack release for an indefinite time period as I am leaving the SFCOP game for other adventures in the gaming universe, I am happy to send out EEK-OP version 2.21.
A lot of people's ideas have gone into this pack and y'all know who you are but I do want to mention DRB and Bonk for all their great testing efforts. Without their hard work, the missions that are deployed on the serious dynas that the players use, for instance the GW dyna series, would be a lot more buggy and unstable. So, thank them every chance you can, for me, will ya. I'm looking y'all, Mester Server Admins., espesciallement.

DYNA SERVER ADMIN NOTES:
In SFC2:OP, EEK missions are made easier in Early Era by reducing the BPV calculation by 25%.
No reduction is made for later eras.
Recommended starting BPV for initial ships at dyna start are:
Early Era: 70 to 90 BPV
Middle Era plus: 100 to 125 BPV
Admins. can configure spare parts maximums in shiplist.txt by changing a given ship's "Damage Control" column that represent spare amounts in multiples of 5. Also, T-bomb loads of a given ship can be configured by
changing the "T Bombs Base" and "T Bombs Max" columns. Romulans ships specs. can have their Nuclear Space Mines (NSMs) configure by editing the "Nuclear Mine Base" and "Nuclear Mine Max" columns.
Another method that can be utilized to control ship production and ship availability in the EEK missions, and has been working in all my test dyna runs, is to set the shiplist.txt "Special Role" column to "R" for ships that the dyna admin does not want to show up in the EEK missions or show up in the dyna's shipyard. In addition, ships from shiplist.txt that the Dyna admin. would like to show up in the shipyard but not in the EEK missions can set the specified ships' "Class Type" to "SPECIAL" but use a "Special Role" value that is not "R".
In some missions, the randomized map terrain feature may generate the moving asteroid, N-AST in shiplist.txt, ship object that can be tractored by players.
GL, HF and Good Hunting!!
