CVD,CVA,STL,STT,BCPp DNM all seem to draw a mix of CAA/CY's and IDNs


Sounds about right <Snicker>

Actually Im good with the AI draw so far. ESGs/Maolers & Fighters make for quick mission times.
(Of course Ill be crying when i don't have them on the actual server but..)

Only thing I'd point out for missions is that I get ALOT of "Fleet Engagement" in enemy space.
Out of last 21 missions (in enemy space) Ive had 1 patrol,3 Enigma and 17 Fleet engagements of one kind or another.
Not sure if it's supposed to be like this or not.
Could just be the big ships I'm flying (?)

Problems with a mission....

Deadman and I were running some today.

Met_NW8 ShipYPVP  Is what it's name is.  Instead of FRD's, there were 3 Base stations.  every time the second BS was destroyed, the mission would crash.

ok in the CATZ at 184 the draw seems about right. In the enigma mission it is still drawing CVA but in the others its ca and cl.
Ill be back on later to test further.

You guys think the Enigma Mission come up too frequently?   This is a 1v1, does not draft allies.

There is nothing I can do about frequency.

it comes up alot that is for sure. is there a way to  make more missions come up  rather than just one or two?.might help speed some of the testing up if we had more to chose from.
As far as pulling it. it is a good pvp mission but not much else good to say about it. Your call im afraid.

Ran NW_6 Patrol as Hydran, Kitty, Fed and Gorn. Hydran CTD'd everytime. Kzinti, Fed and Bruce run fine, but Hydran crashes as soon as the mission starts. :cuss:

I seem to be making extreme draws in ai on the server now.I understand that the CCY is "cheese". but it seems to draw nothing but dn and cva's since the reboot. Most missions im drafting a Dn and a heavy while getting some sort of pirate light cruiser as an escort or im drawing two dn.Not that i cant beat it and thats its not  fun But 20 to 30 mins for one mission seems a little extreme. other wise you have done a great job so far.I  going back and doing more testing now.

This is funny, I've not touched te AI draw setting.   In fact, the AI settings are "stock" Evil Dave.   Maybe I need to lower the difficulty?

How are the other races drawing?

Feedback like this is greatly appreciated, thank you Kurok

It would be better to lower AI draws acros the board. 20 Min missions isnt a good thing repeatedly. However, if other ship AI draws are ok, then this wouldnt be the way to go. Instead, I suggest that the individual ships being reported in question be given a BPV reduction to the point where they draw a class size equal to or higher then themselves, instead of the latter each time.

More careful attention has to be paid to this as I myself have been having too much fun running these difficult 20 Min missions, so much fun in fact it blinded me to the fact that the AI draws for select ships are too high. Thanks for pointing it out, Kurok.

Not many people fly solo on servers, so I don't see why we really need to lower the AI draws.

Besides, I don't want to hear about how the Kzinti are over-running the area....

May be a case by case basis. I for one have experienced drawing 3x DN's in a CCY once. It isnt pleasant. This needs closer a look.

There is no time for this.  The ED mission draw is complete voodoo which seems to have no logic to it.  Plus it involves a download to tweak.

There will be a new installer for the final release

http://69.115.120.11:9000/images/SGO4_beta_update.zip here are the update files that are not in the current installer.

Z-cBBV with 16 HAAS fighters vs ISC SBFR.... no go... used most of my stuff fighting a I-BBV and a CLZ... but was not able to even crack the base's shields.

Gonna try an IC+ next.

1vs1 = bad... why bother with a wing?  Pull it.

I have lost countless ships to the enigma mission. (usually winging with another cl and inevitably a DN drafts only one of us in the enigma mission - very frustrating - unless you have a DN and can reap the benefits of this mission, breaking up fleets of humans)
