Well, I think the point here is to have fun. I dont think there needs to be a reason for making money. So mb all the ships and resupply could be cheap enough to afford attrition and not have to worry about it too much when you shp gets wasted.

Herr Burt, what are the alliances?

As Risky says, the alliances are -- nominally -- classic good guys vs. bad guys.

However, as reflected in the VC rules, each race gets graded on its own. (Everyone is out for as much as they can get, in this wild and wooly Colonial Zone, with only a passing nod at the back-home alliances.)

Actually, I think I can put a multiplier on the points awarded after a mission. I'm not real sure why points are proving such a loss this time; they weren't last time and I thought I had the same GF settings.

If I can't multiply the point awards, I'll reduce the supply costs.

Can't seem to get a mission on the server. Driving around and no missions are coming up. Something I did wrong??

Something seems to be wrong with the ISC models for me... Lyran worked right but not ISC.(the two i tried testing)

Fixed. A bug in the installer cause the ISC models to install improperly.

You'll need to:
1) Uninstall SC by double clicking the FromSC.bat file
2) Look in your SqdnCmmnd folder within your OP folder. You'll see a weird looking file called Ipf. This should have been the IPF folder.
3) delete the weird file
4) delete the SquadMaker folder from your OP folder
5) Go to the top of this thread and download Squad2_3Install
6) Install again, using the new ToSC.bat icon.

You will
1) Get the correct ISC models
2) Get the correct Siz file
3) Have a lot of fun pointing and clicking
4) Grow irritated at me for getting this right the first time.

Ship prices have been cut in half.

Supply prices have been drastically reduced; especially the spare parts.

Shall I "sticky" one of these SC threads, if so, which one has all the necessary info?

Dizzy · « **Reply #28 on:** August 28, 2005, 11:26:03 am »

I say start a NEW thread, and list all relevant info. Including this: http://home.satx.rr.com/spiderwebs/SQ2ShipChart.htm

Lepton · « **Reply #29 on:** August 28, 2005, 12:58:45 pm »

Shipchart is highly unformatted.

This is the one to sticky, as it has all the rules:

http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163359562.0.html

I'll add the installation instructions to its top post.

If Dizzy would post his highly informative chart to that thread, that would be great!

Done.

Bonk · « **Reply #33 on:** August 28, 2005, 03:59:12 pm »

And done...

Diz, the chart does look a little wonky in Firefox (columns don't line up), that's probably all it is, just need to use IE to view it.

Dizzy · « **Reply #34 on:** August 28, 2005, 04:45:21 pm »

Ya, I open it up in IE. Looks fine to me.

Enjoying the server- but is there anything that can be done with the AI draw?
When a 3 PF flotilla draws a RN, LN+,LNHB it can get kinda extremely difficult.

When it happens twice it moves into the annoying category.
(by the time you hack through the Stingers, then one of the ships you usually don't have alot left)

Bonk · « **Reply #36 on:** August 28, 2005, 07:25:57 pm »

Lol, I had a similar comment, I drew an I-ECA, I-CM and an I-FFW in an Asteroid Base assault... (non asteroid hex) I managed to kill off all the ships but was left in my crippled leader PF trying to take out an asteroid base... it was comical. Then I thought about the Four Powers server and I figured this was normal difficulty for a dastardly Herr Bert server, will probably just take some getting used to.

Noticed no cartels on the map, getting news spam because of it. (not a biggie) Equal economies will also cause this.

There was some trick to preventing the Asteroid base assault from coming up in non-asteroid hexes... I think it was using the default mission matching settings (i.e. non-SS settings). Or a draft radius of 0 - is the draft radius set to 1?

Like those Gorn PF models... its fun... wheee!

What are you complaining about? Your 3 PF's launch the other three and you've got him outnumbered two to one!

Ordinarily I would ignore this as typical player whining. (Players these days are getting soft. Why back in my day, we had to do all this in interceptors and admin shuttles!) Espeically since it is Hexx. But, since it was annoying me last night as well when I played as a Lyran.........

OK, I'll reduce the AI draw a little. Probably happen around midnight tonight or so. I'll post a note after it happens.

Hmmm
Dunno if this can be fixed (or even if it should but..)
Plasma PF's can launch all their F torps at the same time

Seems... excessive...

Still the Lyran Navy will bravely go forth and do their duty
A new admiral,Lord Lucan has been assigned command of the theatre.
