Hardcore Mini Map Campaign
« on: July 17, 2008, 07:01:05 pm »
I just redid a map for a mini campaign.. very small game map

Server starting Mid era .. 2273

There are 3 planets in the center.. 2 core worlds, 1 home world

Not many Open space hexes in Neutral space.. a couple around the planets..

This is designed to be a test platform for the new scripts, however I am adding scripts to the server for homeworld assault, colonization, battle station assault, starbase assault, the XC scripts and the new ED Scripts..

Hed DV is 4 for non planet space.. 8 for Colony Worlds, 12 for Homeworlds

Races adjusted for 2 sided war

F,G,H,M    vs     K,R,L,I

Home hexes have DV of 15

each race has 11 hexes with 230 economy each .. 2 hexes of each race moved to locations within/next to allied space with Colony Worlds on them.. hopefully to help random AI draws for enemy races / combined fleets..

Game speed 8

this small map should allow for more PVP since it is extremely small  11 x 11

Hopefully this will allow for testing the3 scripts in a variety of terrains and pull all the features of the scripts

I have a new installer I am putting up which is the exact same as the last installer.. I do recommend that you use the new installer .. however I will also post a zip of the scripts as well..

Please help me out in testing this setup..

I will have the server up in about 30 min.. just after I post the DL links ...

Good luck

Please post any bugs here.

I need to make a couple adjustments to the map.. and then it is going up live in about 30 min.. I'm going to switch to XP to do some testing myself.

Here is the Installer :

Here are the scripts by themselves

Beauty, the installer worked, the patrol I pulled in a neb r-spa+ vs a F-dn+ was awesome, the a.i. was still predictably dumb tho. Love the small map.

Last mission was an ambush, two rom dreads, one ca carrier, and a destoyer (kestral).  I had a small wingman (who even tho was blown up, turn against me later in the mission, might want to look into that as it shouldn't have posted my wingman was turning against me when he was already dead).

end result, I poped the destroyer.  Killed all the fighters, had a couple of internals on all the ships remaining.  (and a big map it was.  took almost 15 minutes to run off the end of it)

Somewhat the same situation here.  There was a light cruiser, heavy cruiser, and a dread.  I had some frigate wing.  I was able to take out the light and heavy cruisers, but we were ambushed by another C8K.  My wing was taken out, and then a 3rd C8K appeared.  I was able to score some internals on one of the dreads, but I turned tail and ran.

Took 10 minutes to get to the border, and about 5 minutes into me running, I got a report that my wing went rogue, and it was already space dust.

The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

I have only had this happen to me once out of 15 missions so far.

Actually, I've had this rogue mission 3 times last night.  Only one though had the message pop up after the ship was destroyed by the enemy before it went rogue.

The other two times when my ally went rogue, I killed it and still finished off the mission.

Been abit of it to me also, I can understand an ally going rogue if it wasn't another fed ship (I am flying fed right now), if given an Orion allie would be more understandable.  Why a ship from your races fleet would go rogue, should be way lower then the chances that seem to show up in this mission.

That said, I like the new missions.  Some you don't even have to fight, but if you start off like some and launch weapons when you come in range, not sure if you would lose that mission but figure you would.

They are good missions so far, just cut the rogue down alittle more for me.

I haven't even been given an ally yet. I had to fight 5 dreds (one a BB) and a PF Tender in one mission where I was "protecting" a SB. In the opposite mission I was placed by myself against 7 ships (2 of them Dreds) to attack a BS.

Exactly how much damage are you supposed to get on those patrol/sabotage missions?

I had one, and just as I needed all my weapons for an alpha strike in a nebula, I find half my weapons are already destroyed, a quarter of my hull strength gone, and a message saying I'm the victim of sabotage.
