i bet.    

for armada2 there are a couble of rooms ( lobby, cadett, captain and admiral). is it possible to ask gamespy or another responsible person of creating a room for FO or simply armada2 MODs ? i would use it.

i already did that, but they haven't responded to my request

all that is good, ewm, BUT i think it risks splitting the forum in 2:  

People who have donated & people who cant afford to donate. a bad idea if you ask me  

ur talking about advertising, have adverts throughout the game and start up screen?? naaah! i could email gamespy or someone, what about that xfire? or is that just a kinda platform providing access to game servers?

qoute "Is there at least a possibility to make AI build more stations?" end quote

i thought they did that already if the AI is set on hard or summt? wen allied with a AI hard i've seen them build a couple of stations

why can't i get them to do that?

I've been experimenting with AIPs instant action settings (& other settings, such as the AI uses cloak more often...)... tripling or more the number of defensive stations, ships and stations (+incubation complex). You have to make the AI build more stations, so it gets more crew... That way AI can build plenty... Of course AI uses less resources than, but it needs the same amount of crew.
Also reduce the global build time by 10% and AI's build and resource cost by 50%.

Then... just wait until he starts to send large fleets and quickly too...

I got quite bored with all maps and setting the FO has to offer, so i made a few custom maps.... I've been playing my own map called Parallels_big (1 vs 2 vs 3, then 1 vs 4 vs 1 and finally 1 vs 5) since it gives you the opurtunity to get plenty of derelicts and even steal a few Tavara's from the AI at the beginning, but AI's fleets were to weak to pose any real challenge, so i got bored...

Then i begane to tune the AI so it makes a formidable opponent and now...

The best part of it is the moment the AI starts to send its massive fleets, the adrenaline pumping, because you just don't know that your defences will hold...

It's no fun playing, thinking, if you always know that they'll hold... It's quite nice actually that the computer even surprises you...

Imagine 5 AI's all sending 50 or even 100 ships at you (in the first wave  :omg:  )

Skitzeh, try Parallels_big map, steal Tavara's from AI, get as much as you can (build 12 Incubation complexes), recrew as much derelicts as you can (you can to them with cloacked 6 Tavara's) and build 16 Assimilators all at the beginning. and 16 Assimilators a little later (you can play with others, just build as much starbases as you can). If you survive, quickly research shields and weapons and just try to assimilate a couple of enemy waves as they come, repair them for defense... if you survive, you'll get plenty of assimilated ships for defence or offense...
The feeling, when you survive such a massive assault is incredible

I'll upload the modified AI config files soon;

Only now have i found the strenght to wait for FO3
modified FO2... heavenly  


Have fun !

 
 

smart man spamm0r too

double posting... *tut* !

That sounds awesome tbh, definately agree that findin this new AI challenge gives me the strength to wait for v3

Just SO much fun... its a sad day.. im enjoying losing

(even tho i do kick myself )

Thx for the tips Jarod peace out and enjoy!

EDIT: Also really noticing its almost impossible to play as Feds successfully at the start... they are so slow starting off compared to the Rommies and Klingons that they just wear you down over time until you just crumble (I did get really far... but then made the mistake of stopping ship construction... yeeep bad idea, kicked myself SO hard ffs lol).
