first of all the mod is awesome!

now that thats out of the way: in my current game despite having 5  federation starbases running i seem to get no supply whatsoever, which kinda makes the whole game rediculous as the dominion slowly builds more ship and i more starbases. somebody help please what am i overseeing here before the starbases block out the whole map? 

edit: omg i actually found the button.

If you are having trouble with this type of info Hoshi23, maybe you'd like to take a look at the Fleet Ops guide

Welcome to the forums mate

so u built like 5 starbases and still had enough ships to avoid death?  i guess after a while the starbases became turtle power

I've used that tactic before! :-p

Ah, the memories of the federation starbase wall with newton support.  What a pain in the ass.

Remember in stock A2 you could adjust the height of stations?  My brother would do that to me all the time.  Put a few stations way up high so he could pick off my ships while I was attacking what I thought was his "main base" :-p

And in 1.25... you can STACK stations.... I hated when my bro stackes starbases ontop one another.

remember in vanilla A2, that mission with the cardy shipyards you had to destroy? those turrets were stacked neatly. there was a bug in that mission, artillery range ships could fire at the turrets without failing the mission, it was possible to completely dismantle the defense grid without capturing the enemy. but if u then moved to where it was, u fail the mission

Vanilla A2 was ridiculous... The mission where you have to rescue the cargo freighter and escort it back to your starbase... Well I decommissioned my star base for resources then I couldn't finish the mission because the starbase was gone... Stupid! But for some reason memorable...

i dont remember that mission lol. but i can see how that must have been annoying. remember the one fusion cube in that mission. if you were unlucky it would steamroll ur forces, but by then i usually had some super turrets and sovvies ready for it.

Might have been stock armada, not A2... hard to remember it's been a while. Ever since FO i havent looked back. Those muddy textures were good for the time but in comparison to FO... *shudders*.

describe the mission in more detail, was it feds/klings/borgies what were all the objectives etc

the allegheny was a galaxy class that survived an 8472 attack, the rest of her fleet was nuked.

there was a lack of resources on that particular map, maybe thats why u decommed ure starbase to get moar resources.
