Star Trek Mods

[atrocities]

There are two star trek based mods for SE IV. AST and STM. Atorciteis Star T rek Mod (v2.0) and Star Trek Mod. Both can be downloaded from spaceempires.net Spaceempires.net is a great resource site for all things Space Empires related. From ship sets to mods to people who know the game inside and out.

I downloaded the AST 2.0 mod from spaceempires.net and it appears to be incomplete because it is missing the empire files in the empires folder. Is there a complete version of 2.0 anywhere? I have version 1.9.7 and it seems to work okay.

You can generate new ones but ya some files might be missing after 10 years. I honestly don't reecall how to do it, but I remeber it was kind of basic but sorta time consuming because it had to be done manually. Sorry I don't recall how to. Like I said, it has been 10 years now. Still a great 4x game though. Try the spaceempires.net site and ask them in the forum.

You didn't download it from Spaceempires.net. If you go to the old AST.com or ASTMod.com you'll end up at some hack site. They stole the Domain name nearly 10 years ago. I was unable to sue over the issue becase they are decidedly not in the USA. So I just joined up with Spaceempires.net and Fyron (owner) and hosted the mod there. Do NOT download the mod from any source other than spaceempires.net or drop me an email, I can just send it too you. You will need the support mods - Image Packs - Planets, Components, Events, Facilities, etc. and those are still only available on spaceempires.net

Ahh i see sorry i didn't realise that you could download of spaceempires.net directly i clicked on this link http://www.spaceempires.net/article312.html and it took me to that dodgy website. But thanks man i'll have to give this another go, awesome mod btw :)

im having issues with some of the graphics not sowing up in 2.0

[atrocities]

You'll want to download the Planet, Component, Event, Faciities, and Combat image packs from the spaceempires.net web site. That should fix your graphic issues.

Was really looking forward to playing the Star Trek mod (either one), but all my ships have 0 movement. Even when I create new, with impulse drives and supply. Any ideas? Maybe I missed a certain mod?

[atrocities]

You need to add a warp core, impuile engine and nacelles. Without all three you will not have movement. The Read Me file should cover most of these issues. Good luck.

[Greebo]

Thank you for the help, realised I had to use the mounts to reduce the size of the warp core and nacelles.

hi this mod is great :)

i think i have v2.1 of the AST mod - the directory is ast 20 but modloader shows it as v2.1DE
and it seems that the versions went up to 2.4? (but i could not find a way to get the updates for it)

currently, im not able to build some of the borg ships due to some component messages where it needs a certain amount of life support ships but some other components seem to be acting as lifesupport and it pushes me over the max amount (but i was able to modify the data text files so that less life supports are needed, and it let me build the borg Barge ship)

however, i cant seem to see any way to give the barge some propulsion components... the parts are way too big (and there is no way to see or select a Propulsion mount to reduce it and im not an expert modder just dabbling :)

i thought maybe the newer version of the mod had a fix but any help you have or can suggest will be cool. (i added you a few days back as a friend atrocities but if you add me back please free free to send a message as steam never seems to notify us when a friend adds us back) :)

in game, my main aim was to try to start Remote Mining, and to build a base at the asteroids, but could not get a SpaceYard (shipbuilding ship) built or moveable to get there lol :)

if you run into issues you can mod the files to work around the issue. Modding is pretty easy IIRC. I apologie that the mod has issues that I never got around to addressing.

Remember to use MOUNTS in order to rescale the components.

You might have to adjust the MOUNT for that component. You can set the size reductions. All engines and such require the MOUNT for them to be resized. So you might take a look at the componentenhacement.txt file and reduce them even more. Look at the Propulsion mount for the size hull size of that ship. You should be able to solve the issue by just making them smaller. Also you can change the size and mount requirement in the component.txt as well but that might affect other aspects of the mod. But you can do it if needed. :D

I was recently advised the spaceempires.net has gone into achrive mode only. I don;t know if this effects the downloads or not. Howeveryou can also check out the playbyweb site and chat with the guys who are still playing the games multiplayer aspect. Those PBW games used to last years. I mean YEARS in real time. :D Loads of fun.

cool many thanks for the info, i will have a look at some more settings files - so far my borg colony has expanded into all 7 connected systems, (one is an empty nebula) and have colonosised all 3 planet types, including a few smaller asteroids that became planets, and just recently discovered level 2 in warp point creation :)

i was able to find some of your pages from the astempires site actually archived on the way back machine website (which was useful for text info and some graphics, though i dont think it caches zips but was still useful)

Sorry to bump this but its about this mod :)

for quite a while now, i wasnt able to figure out how to use the extra projects I learned through research, for Expanding the Space Yards (A and B projects)

I looked at the Facilities text, and also the other several text files i thought would help, and was not able to get them to work...

Then I found a mod from Fryon (which was just a basic example showing a way of using the Expansion Yards... and i finally figured it out how to do for AST mod :)

answer... we just have to click to show obsolete Facilities and the buildable ones appear in the list... and then i can upgrade them at the cost of an extra land slot, but can build Large Dreadnoughts in 1 turn :)

Just wanted to share with others in case you get the same query.

(ive still got the problem making some kind of ship that can actually Move, as well as construct things, so if anyone can help a bit with modding please post back and i can email you the mod files)
