Romulan, Klingon, and Fed STNG Sets Now Available

As usual, your top quality work! Thanks once again AT! I knew your excellent contributions would make it here...

thanks a lot Atrocities

think i just found my new ship set.

Cant wait to make all the default SE race bow down in front of the Klingon Empire

The readme for each shipset says that there is no AI for each shipset, yet AI files are present. I do not understand. Is there a functioning AI or not?

Really good work...love the ships...have them all downloaded

Now just one question...Any plans on doing the Borg?

Don't get me wrong i love your work on the federation set but i notice one important ship missing the "Defiant class warship" I know this is TNG but there is the Intrepid class.

only say this as i suck at 3D modeling i doubt i could even do a Borg Cube(with out a skin)

also did you get any of the ideas from "Star trek ship creator" cause the frigate looks a lot like a ship i made long ago in that program the cut saucer and fin on the warp nasel

I noticed some one asked for Borg and that would be a great addin i would just like to toss into the ring a request/wish for Ferengi and Cardassian. To be able to play BOTF style

Again great work (and please keep the ships coming)

I'm wondering if these new Atrocities shipsets will work properly for SE5. I tried the atrocities shipsets for SE4 with SE4 1.95 and found that they fouled up SE4 scoring and the graphs, making my score get crunched down incorrectly. After deleting the atrocities SE4 shipsets my 1.95 SE4 scoring went back to normal and the graphs tracked correctly again.

That really killed my interest in trying any of the other SE4 mods and any SE5 mods. Before I ever try a mod again I want to make sure the mod won't break anything in the stock game.

Nice job...

Not sure how ship sets could remotely effect score in SE:IV...

Anyway a correctly installed mod for SE:IV occupied it's own folder and therefore never affects the stock game. It's even easier in SE:V because you don't need to change a text file to load a mod, as they're launched in-game.

Anyway in this case, the ship set is extracted to the Empires folder, where it is self-contained in its own folder.

I have NO problems using any of the ship sets I've downloaded from spaceempires.net. They all work just fine.

Tho you might need to asign a AI scritp to some of them but as I don't play against the AI I don't have to bother...someone posted about how to do it if I remember...but with Atrocities ships sets the AI is included as he has said above.

Nice work...if I belived in God, you'd be mine.

There are compiled scripts with the sets, but they don't appear to be the expected size so I'm assuming they are not functional ones. I'll ask Atrocities what he did. This won't affect players using the sets, but it will potentially cause AI problems if they are chosen for a computer player.

I downloaded Atrocities shipsets and started a game as the Federation against the Klingon (AI) and Romulans (AI). It was a stock game, set with computer player difficulty to medium and low computer bonus. I set the Klingons up as Berserkers in their society file and made the Romulans schemers.

Only played for about 60 turns, but the AI Klingons kicked my butt all over the map. The Romulans actually presented some interesting treaty options. I'm not sure what the potential pitfalls of using these ships as AI controlled empires is, but I'd say from first glance, I'm impressed. It's the first competitive stock game I've played since I bought the game the first day it came out.

Since you choose the empires in setup, they are using the default AI files and not their empire-specific ones, which only happens in SE:V when they are generated during the game setup. That's the reason why they're working fine. In SE:IV, you had an option for the set to use their race specific AI, but for some reason it's not in SE:V... yet...

Oops. I had looked at the packed size in the .zip and not the actual size. They should be proper AI files. Ignore everything I said.

So I extracted all the files to the Empires folder. I started a new game but I don't see the 3 new races anywhere. What have I done wrong?

these are no races to choose, they are shipsets for your custom race.
just create a new race (or modify your an old one) and there you can choose one of the new shipsets.

Captain Kwok,
I was rather baffled by the scoring snafu too but after deleting those atorcities shipsets and seeing the scoring correct itself there was little doubt as to the culprit for the scoring snafu. Atleast now you know who to thank for my absolute refusal to mess with mods for this game.
Omnius

I think that's a little dramatic stance to take though. Atrocities produced dozens of ship sets for SE:IV that thousands of players used without incident so I'd assume it was just a small error on your part when you extracted the sets...

There's lots of new experiences to be had with SE using mods.

Thanks for the response.

Atrocities, plz reuse all readme files. They take up little space and that way readme's wont get dilluted/polluted. Thx.

Size ?? not to sure plus im trying to tweak my game files to add in a ship class Battle Cruiser though most races would end up reusing a model.

otherwise I would remove cruiser lt cruiser and remove the old Lt cruiser( making the akira class the new lt cruiser and the defiant the new cruiser

thanks and great work

Thx Atrocities, you rock dude.

I downloaded the Star Trek shipset both TNG and Klingon. The TNG works great, no problems. But with the Klingon set, when attacking another ship, the Klingon ship that I am using, will not fire on another ship unless a direct head on attack. If I try to have them follow me and shoot them as they come into range, my Klingon ship will not fire on the opponent. Is there a script for the Klingon shipset that ''It is not honorable'' to not have a head on battle with the enemy?

For example, I will have missiles at level 5 or 6 and the other ship will have guns at 1, but still, the Klingon ship will not fire upon the enemy if it is not a head on attack compared to letting the enemy follow and shoot them up as they try to catch me.

Is there something in the loading of the shipset in the game that is different from the other shipset?

Maybe the ship in question doesn't have enough firing points in the Klingon set?

I was using this shipset too, and wondered the same thing. In Star Trek, most klingon ships only have forward firing weapons. I guess the same holds true for the ships in the shipset.
