u prolly caught it as it was resetting.


Edit, in fact, the LAST installer we are doing till late tonight has just been done. So D/L and help test till tonight. Co-Op and PvP are the only things need testing. Proper DV shifts and prestige rerporting, esp with karnak patrols. U want AI stripping right? Gotta make sure the missions work or they will be pulled and we are with ED.

Can we get the game turns sped up for the test server?
Trying to get the Lyran Carriers tested and it's a long wait  :P

If I run them all through in SP will the results be the same or is there a difference
with the servers shiplist?

Latest installer MAY have reset meto the old WON server settings.  I was getting Firewall until I re-installed the WON update .  Note I say "may" ( as it may have been something else I did).

I can log onto server no problem.

I just ran a mission in a Romulan SUN with 2 squads of 4 fighters. I bought 4 CENd and 4 CENl and when I launched them, they were invisible/not there. No shots fired. I did have the 2 squad markers in my shuttle control panel and the appropriate launch and recovery sound fx were there.

I don't see the SGO server listed - just the DNET, BOSC and UAW.

Romulan CEN's are PF's not fighters

I think we can (or have) a list of fighters & PF's somewhere so everyone can find out which is which.

Yes the R-Cen(d/l) and the R-STH-E/D/A/B/L are pf's and can only be carried by a full/casual pf tender.  The romulan fighters are the R-G1/2/3 etc.  If you try to put fighters on a pf tender or pf's on a carrier then you will not see anything launch in game.

The Kar5 patrol mission has the same bugs as before.

In coop, the DV won't drop and the drafted coop player won't receive prestige once they return to the map.

No difference to run through them in SP - just test for PFs and fighters where there should be... faster anyway.

Kar5?

There is Kar_DockRaid.scr, Kar_ePatrol.scr and Kar_hPatrol.scr which one you mean? In any case it looks like the EEK missions wont work. (I'd be curious to see if they are behaving the same on SFB-OP and UAW...)

The plan is to put some of the NW missions that were removed due to unhappyness with the last shiplist back in for variety, and if OK leave them in and just go with those.

I was able to log onto the server last night with no problems.  Never played OP online, so I was just testing to see if I could connect to the server without problems.  Now, after fixing my resolution problem, I can't log onto the server.  I keep getting the error message that starfleetop.exe is missing, even after I uninstall and reinstall the SGO4 mod.  Any help would be appreciated.

Diahak, might want to move ur post there to its own thread so more peeps read it.

Gorn have no DNs to build in the first cycle.... so what is the decision on this?

They can't build a DN so what can we do with those BP's?



Ok, well, 2 (always half of what u have) can be banked and you can loan 1. Means u end up wasting one.

Or you can convert them to CP's at a rate of 2 to 1. Use your 1 turn CP exemption (the rule that says u cant spend more than half ur CP's on the same type ship) and you have 6x BF's.

Course, I do think the Gorn do have a crappy Dread and if they do, you can upgrade that later to a better refit like this:

G-cDNE >   G-cDN >   G-cDNF >   G-cDNT (1CP) or G-cDNH (1CP)
         

G-cDNP >         
G-cDNL >   G-cDNM (1CP)      


Lotsa things to consider.

I haven't downloaded the latest shiplist so these might have changed but:
G-DNE 2260
G-DN  2271
G-DNL 2272
G-DND 2272

Any of which I think can be built for the first cycle.

Problem with the Karnak Dock Raid. I was in ISC space and the defending ships appeared. When I looked at my map, 1 of the defending ships was marked with the big "X", like a station would be. I destroyed the first 2 ships and then had to fly around the hex to find the other docks. Again the 2 defending ships appeared, same as the first time. I never saw the actual space docks.

dock raid requires you to blow up 2x FRD's. That's it. If you fail to do so in a timely manner, enemy reinforcements show up.

Bottom line is that any decent NCL or CA can do that mission. But you have to focus on your objective. If you don't, you will fail that mission. I think its a great mission.
