I'm sure this has been mentioned but the AI matchup is kind of rough.  Two CBs and a light cruiser against two light cruisers is a little daunting.  I got my butt kicked in short order and I'm down to an E4CR.  It's one of my favorite ships but it'll be a challenge to keep this tin can shipshape and in fighting trim.  Other than that I'm enjoying these new scripts enormously.  Dear God, the maps are huge. 


LOL! Try fighting the Andromedan Dominator with the four Cobra's in it that I had on an ED Player Combat. I was in a I-CMP and if the Dominator hadn't been focused on the planet I would have died instantly. I couldn't even crack a shield on that thing at point blank range! I finally got it close enough to tractor it into the planet.

There's a reason why I left those in the list  :D


Does that thing have like 500 point shields or something? I hit it several times from range 5 with an OL PPD, 2 G-Torps and all my Phasers and the shield never changed from white.

Not in a couple of days - I'll have a new batch out tonight, just running a last couple of tests
Then (as always) it's Pesty's problem (and Fluf's fault)

EDIT:  ok, latest updates posted, hopefully addressing most of what has come up so far plus adding a larger open-space fleet battle to the patrol scenarios
ED ones
XC ones
the EAW versions

10:45 P.M. EST.  The Hardcore server isn't showing up on the selector screen, despite several refreshes. 

How do I go about adding those new updates, since they're separated into sections?

Wait for Pesty to update the installer is the easiest way.

OK.. server is back up and running.. DB has been cleaned.. no reset this time around.

To uninstall the old installer.. go into your OP directory and find the HC_Uninstall.exe and run it.. and then you can DL and run the new installer..

Alternatively, you can just install the new scripts over the top of the old ones..

http://warpcore.110mb.com/Downloads/HC_Scripts.zip


Server has already been updated with the new scripts.

ED Player patrol.  I was being drafted by ally to boost a planet hex, 2 out of 4 of those type missions, I was spawning in the same place as the planet and very quickly went boom  ;)

Okay while playing the ED Scenarios I ran into this anomaly:

My FGSCX near a F-BATS encounters a DAMAGED stock MMT monster. I thought it was cool to see a monster with startup damage applied in a mission.

Usual drill. I scan it and fire stock missiles at it.  After two scatterpacks and two volleys of four missiles, I get a CTD when the monster explodes. The break model is fine as it's a stock model.

At any rate, I'm thinking that the monsters need a major upgrade. Certainly the Astrominers should had PlasDs and maybe the others could have AMDs or Ph-Gs for defense.

I've noticed this happening a couple of different times.  Last  night I was running the mission which involves destroying a pirate base and its drydock.  Even after all the weapons on the base had been destroyed, it was still firing phasers at me.  Other than that everything has been running just fine.

Those two issues are related to the shiplist being used. Some things have hidden weapons and some of the Antimatter Eaters start with drone racks that are destroyed.

ED Enemy Patrol: Nebula; Sneak up on a base at green alert and covertly listen in on transmissions - Gave me a completed mission with 120 PP, but no DV shift. Also, I was going full speed at green alert with no LRS and when I got to range 100 and targeted a FRD (didn't see the base), I slowed to speed 10. By the time I was at range 94ish There was a message that we were detected and that the Nav officer was warping us out. Immediately after that there was a message that we had got what we needed and could leave. Did my speed trigger something or is that how it is supposed to play out?

Coolest mission idea so far  :thumbsup:! It would be even cooler if we had to sneak up at speed 10 or less until range 50ish though.


I think I may have seen a pattern with the no DV shift missions. I think everytime you fight a pirate in a patrol mission it doesn't count towards the DV. Had three pirates and none of them had a DV shift.

I was in a mission when it went down last night.

ED Enemy Patrol: Planet; Planet only had 6 Marines. My AI wing never moved and only shot at the Planet (from about 70 away), even when I lured the two defenders right on top of it. The defenders ignored it as well and only fired at me.
