Good idea - right now I'm trying to conscript the three to play via wippien or hamachi. Tis difficult when they keep trying to join each other's game... and fail 

EDIT: AAARGH, asking people whether they speak another language in three languages only for them to sign off after 2 seconds can be quite... frustrating  . As I recall, this is part of the reason I gave up on Gamespy  .

Is that for your elitist BSG Mod?  (I swear I'll download it!  I need to make a modding copy of FO again. )

I don't know mal...maybe the bsg_outpostxm has something to do with that...

I might as well not release the 3.1.0 version today, if it would just be soo elitist of me

maybe i'll just lock the download and only give the password to those who I know will appreciate my elitist work...   I'll be back later...unless that would be too elitist of me

Wow. I go away and do a days revision and suddenly every man and his dog argues.

Come on guys, I was only asking (in a round about way) for some pointers on fighting the AI and some pointers on playing as the Romulans. Course that has all gone to pot now on the basis that the female Klingon avatar seems to promote fast, hit and run tactics so much more than any single Romulan Avatar.

I mean B'rel's and K'Vort's with micro torpedoes AS well as Pulse Disrupters are just awsome . As is the number of long range torpedo vessels she gets that come with a basic cloak

So yeah, the K'vort can even fire while cloaked which has it's uses in destroyed a large important vessel before uncloaking to engage!

Donno, it's probs just me but I really struggle with the Romulans. I have also read all the guides at the website with hitchhikers guide to fleet ops.... They all make sense but some of them just don't seem to work against the computer!

yes, well... as I said it is difficult to beat the AI, but it just takes time.  but I would suggest that if the romulans are too dificult to win with, try a different faction.  thats the beauty of FO.  the Races are pretty equally balanced, while at the same time, each race plays completely different.

Yeah, the guide right now is out of date (the strategy portion), but will be shortly updated. So far Romies really are in a pinch, but in a few days they should be right as rain again

You cut me to the quick, man.   Always putting down us non-modders because we couldn't make an odf from scratch if our life depended on it.   You'll probably only give the password to people who can pass your elitist test.

Question 1:  What's replacementinstantai = 1 do?

"I don't know!"  "Wrong!!!  You'll never taste sweet Mercury Class, peasant!" "NOOOOOOO!!!!"


Wow, everybody ninja'ed me.

Hey Anthony.  I mentioned some suggestions about how to play as romulans against the AI, but of course it's lost in the sea of all this, so I'll repost.  Basically, you can build a staryard and a talshiar facility after this.  As Helev, build Generix support refits first, and then some frigate or spectre refits, depending on which passive you need.  You'll eventually have two yards spamming generix, and you do the different refits as you need them.  Just make sure to research the shield recharger on the support refit and that should keep your ships alive long enough to attack some bases.  That way you can also shut down the weapons of starbases and large ships easy enough, or lay mine fields and retreat behind them to do damage.  If that doesn't work, let me know, but it has for me.  It might take a couple tries to see how you like doing it that way.

don't worry mate, you know I would never do that.

and replacementinstantai is a new line of code that allows the ai to use the replace weapon.  it just means that it will instantly use it.  and actually After writing that odf, i almost immediately scrapped it, uppon finding that I don't need it

if I gave that test to people, I would bet that only blade and ryderstorm would pass, just because I know thay have been working on converting stuff to 3.1
