Formerly called Tryptic's Mod, Tactical Maneuvers is entering the next stage of its development. All primary systems are online and functional, and what remains is the cool stuff: Special stations for each race, additional Mixed-Technology variants, and refinements to visual/sound effects.
Tactical Maneuvers is now hosted on ModDB and can be found here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/fleet-operat ... -maneuvers

Version 4.3.1 is complete. This version of Tactical Maneuvers brings the Borg faction very close to its final state. The Borg special station has been added: the Transwarp Matrix allows them to call in their ships as warp-ins rather than building them. Ships called in this way cost full price (Assimilators do not receive their Avatar bonus) and drain the station's energy, such that a larger vessel can be called in about every 90-109 seconds.
This mechanic adds significant flexibility to the Borg lategame, allowing them to replace their combat losses in a limited but immediate way. In Tactical Maneuvers, replacing lost ships is cheaper for the Borg than expanding their fleet: this station provides the final piece in the Borg fleet's ability to fight repeated, large-scale battles and remain combat effective.
The Cube now follows the new scheme for all Borg ships: it is built in a "vanilla" state and can activate modules to change its combat stats. It can return to the Conduction Matrix and use the Remodulate ability to reset its modules and activate a different combination.
The Tactical Cube is the only ship (aside from the Pyramid) which cannot be called in via Warp-in. It has no modular options, no Holding Beam or ability to cast Nanites, only raw combat ability. It gains special bonuses depending on the player's Avatar (Energy draining beams for Optimize, Nanite disabling torpedoes for Assimilate)
The AI behavior for all races has been refined in version 4.3.1: it will now send fewer ships on random missions across the map and leave fewer ships at home. As a result, the AI forms larger fleets and uses them more decisively; its build handicaps have been nerfed slightly to compensate for its improved aggression.
4.3.1 minor changes
-tweaked stats for many Mixed Tech ships, mostly increasing stat bonuses for smaller ships
-added Mixed Tech variant: D'Deridex (Federation tech)
-added Mixed Tech variant: Cehlaer (Dominion tech)
-fixed Borg sensor relays spawning with the health level of their ship
-fixed a stall in Dominion AI 2 (Puretech B-5s)
-fixed Sovereign torpedoes firing too quickly
-fixed Mijurial D'Deridex Officer passive dealing no damage

Version 4.3.3 is now available on ModDB. I missed posting here for 4.3.2, so I've added the patch notes for that version as well:
4.3.2
New ship variant: B-5 War Frigate with Federation tech
+2 Offense, +6 Defense
-gains High Density Shield Generators (40% resistance vs Long range)
-gains Quantum torpedoes and increased Torpedo damage

-slightly lowered Tritanium ratio of Scoutcube, Dodecahedron, Adaptor, and Diamond
-removed cooldown from Bring Order to Chaos ability and improved AI usage
-Borg adaption upgrades: level 1,3 cost increased, level 4-5 cost reduced
-Borg sensor/engine upgrades no longer require adaption upgrades
-Borg Probe model size reduced
-Dominion AT Charges no longer target scout ships (but can hit them with AoE)
-Dominion A-20 Destroyer: added Fast Tracking Computers (bonus damage to Short range)
-slightly lowered Tritanium ratio of A-20 Destroyer, Breen Cruiser, T-15, and B-5

This version completes the Dominion Experimental Yard rework. The Experimental Yard
now functions similarly to the Construction Yard: it begins with the ability to build
Dreadnoughts (the Dominion Experimental unit) and can be upgraded to Level 2 and 3 in
order to build Bombers, Escorts, Interceptors, and Warfrigates with other faction tech.
Regular yards also gain the ability to build Mixed Tech variants once they are available.
Since the Experimental Yard is limited to smaller ships, the larger MT variants can only
be built from the Large Construction Yard alongside their regular versions.

-gains Manual Targeting passive
-gains Polaron Torpedo special
-gains Supplies upon ranku-up (also applies to Klingon tech B-26 Bomber)

New ship Formations
-Block formation: fleet forms a rectangle 6 ships wide, behind the selected point
-Wide formation: fleet forms a rectangle 10 ships wide
-Stacked formation: fleet forms a vertical line, 6 ships wide and 3 ships tall
Bugfixes
-fixed crash when using Hyperspace Artillery on an AI starbase
-fixed Torpedoes not missing adaptors and dodecahedrons
-fixed Mijurial Tavara not building properly with Supply Depot

Are there any new updates on this mod?
posted on September 28th, 2023, 9:13 pm
There will be soon!
We had some more modders join us on the Discord, and I went on a tangent to see if I could convert TM to use the partially complete V4 launcher. Unfortunately it isn't ready yet.
I went back and continued developing in 3.2.7, so the next version of TM should be out soon. I'm hunting for crash bugs at the moment.

Version 4.3.4 is now complete and up on ModDB! Not all of my new ideas made it into this version, but the ones that did should be stable and effective.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/fleet-operat ... nloadsform
4.3.4
UI
-Adds Build Time to all build tooltips
Borg
-Borg miner build time increased 20->30 seconds
-Borg ship build costs increased by roughly 10%, 25% for Diamonds
-Borg ships under construction now have full hp. However, they keep their current damage level
when construction completes, and construction cannot be canceled.
-Borg Mixed Technology options added in the form of Tactical Cube modules. The Tac Cube can
activate one of four modules, each of which gives it 40% resistance against weapons from a
single faction. The normal Tactical Plates effect is disabled while this is active.
Romulan
-Generix class vessels can now be refitted into Generix Singularity refits
bugfixes
-fixed a large number of small tooltip mistakes
-fixed missing Borg ship explosions
-fixed EM Blast radius being too small
-fixed Bring Order to Chaos affecting closest ship instead of designated target
-fixed Tavara Spectre passive dealing infinite damage to ships with spies
Balance
S-2 Escort Cruiser: Officer bonus changed from extra Pulse weapon to Auto-repair systems (V-13)
B-8 War Frigate: Officer bonus changed from Breaching Shot to Implosion Device (T-15)
B-5 Battle Cruiser - Klingon Tech: Torpedoes changed to Photon Racks
Kbeajq - Reduced build cost
AI
-Borg AI 2 (Dodecahedrons) and 3 (Adaptors) will advance to larger ships more quickly
-Romulan AI should decloak all of its ships more often, preventing large cloaked fleets
Note: there is an issue that may occur with this version, caused by Fleet Ops configuration settings. If you find yourself unable to build anything after the first few ships and stations, you will need to start a new game after going into Advanced settings and re-selecting either Veterans Normal or Veterans Unlimited.

This version makes a big change to the Borg economy, requiring them to upgrade their Conduction Matrix before building larger ships. The original Fleet Operations mod placed brutal restrictions on Borg ship-building, and since Tactical Maneuvers removes those limits, the Borg were somewhat out of control. This change should bring their infrastructure spending more in line with the other factions.
The Federation faction tuning is coming along, with its mixed-tech variants being gradually filled out. The Canaveral still needs some attention which has been pushed off due to the next version, due to how experimental it will be.
The Klingons and Romulans both receive buffs to their mid- and late-game ship building. The Romulans in particular may receive more buffs over time, in the form of bringing down their ship costs.

-fixed Implosion Device firing faster than it should

Are there any news about this mod?
posted on May 2nd, 2024, 6:28 am
Actually, yes! The next version is almost finished.
I've been working with Jan B of the Roots mod; he took the unfinished Fleet Ops V4 and did a lot of updates to the engine, and Tactical Maneuvers will use it starting with the next release.
This comes with a bunch of small improvements, like visual indicators for rally points and repair orders, cooldowns visible on special weapon buttons, improved AI behavior, and a few more that I can't recall off the top of my head. Right now he's trying to stop ships on medium movement autonomy from chasing after enemies that hit them from afar.
On the downside, such a drastic change in the code means that this version took a lot of work and will probably have a lot of bugs. I'm doing a much longer testing cycle than usual but it will probably still have a few when it releases.

I've put out a test version of TM, which you can get here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/8jnzalxq ... n.zip/file
This version is missing a lot of graphics stuff (for example the main screen says Roots on it) and the full TM Version 5.0.0 release will be a whole lot cleaner. This is just for people willing to test it out and report any crashes or bugs you find, since the last time I did a code overhaul this big, there were a whole ton of bugs that took me forever to find.
This test version should be much more stable than that overhaul...but you know how it goes XD

Ouch, best delete it for now. :/
I downloaded roots like 8 ish days ago and several different things didn't pick up anything.
