What weapons disable shields?  If I can't disable them using the map editor, I'll have to disable them using some sort of weapon.

What is the file structure for the BZN file?  Maybe I can disable the shields manually using a HEX Editor.

devestating attack knocks out shields pretty well. there is the stock shield disruptor thingy iirc.

how would u go about this?

i have no idea how bzn files work beyond the map editor lol.

I'm almost ready to release the beta version of 1.3.0.0.  It'll test the general balance of the game and I'll make modifications accordingly.

I have a question.

• There's an expansion on the other side of the asteroid wall bordering my expansion.  I want to get to it.
• There are 6 turrets that I have to deal with to get to that expansion.
• I have 5 constructors ready to rush through those turrets.
• I have 16 long-range battleships a short distance away from the turrets.  2 of them are recharging their shields.
• Almost every time I attack one of those turrets, I have to deal with Borg vessels that hinder my ability to deal with the turrets.
• I have not lost any ships or stations yet.

Should I try to rush those constructors past the Borg turrets or should I use my battleships to take them out first?

Probably meant "underline" and hit the "l" by accident

In HTML, the "" tag means "Unordered List".

Okay, I've just about got this map ready for testing.  All I need to do is make a couple of minor modifications and I'll be all set.

Version 1.3 of this map has been released.  This time, I'm not revealing anything outside the starting location areas except for the nearest expansion for each player and the Borg turrets.  Click here to go to the download area for this map.  Here's the mini-map.

Aye, I've not had access to my pc . Alas, I moved town but all my stuff is back home until I can find "a job" and "a house to call my own". In the meantime, I've been living at my friends house.

However, you'll be glad to know, I now have "a job"! Now I just need to find a place to stay. Once done, I can import all my belonging to here and format my old room back home! Once I install my pc, I will then have access to all of my pc related jiggerypokery

Now thats much better I can beat the Borg more easily now. 

I thought that I would share the results with everyone. Here are the post-game stats to show you how hard and long it was. This took about three-four hours to complete.
