Hi Shawn,
So the borg are too tough...What made them too tough? Was it the
shields? I thought the shields might be to high. These
things always take a balance and sometimes it is hard to get it
just right, you know?
Well maybe it was the adapt to, sertainly I was not able to kill the
borg with just shuttles and fighters sertainly I will have to redo
my deployment I can see that.
maybe spending time in the first round or 2 moving ships to places to
deploy rather than going after the main target, deploying then moving
ships to the target will help a bit.
shields were probably quite high, adapt not sure.
there should be a message saying the borg addapted.
also the borg were easily able to destroy my ships, thats
understandable but I think at some point we should have a map where
after you finnish the juggernaught klingon force the federation
decide to build one ofcause other races probably do as well including
the kingons which would eventually build one anyway.
I was sure seperation was working, so I had better go back and see
what I screwed up, lol. I jsut don't have time in the day to play
test everything all the way thru right now, so this is good info.
Well maps like icaris and seperation just end with the victory
message so unplayable.
I think you got a good point ont he three titan maps. The first one
was supposed to be an ambush and an introduction of a villain to the
player. I think that is going to need balancing with the amount of
bad guy ships, but the player isn't intended to slug it out. Also
the maps didn't have the instructions I wanted with them so you were
already playing under a handicap.
The second map is supposed to be scanning and sending out pods, and
again, no instructions were given, cause I was going to give the
coordinates to the pods etc and so forth. What was the hardest part
of the map? Was it the scanning and running to the pods? I think I
might do that map just a tad bit diffrently...
The third map I think you are absolutely right about. I am going to
get rid of the unexplore and unseen, since technically you already
scanned the area. Also I intended to put in more ships, maybe more
dreadnaughts, or a support of heavy cruisers and light cruisers...I
was also thinking of a diffrent start to the map. I was thinking of
a single unit with a bunch of summon skills for diffrent allies
ships. It could move around the ap and place ships wehre you want to
deploy them ahead of time since you will be aware of everything
there, due to the stealth map. Taht might even up the odds a little
cause you would get the first strike. I would only give the thing a
limit of one round though.
hmmm well right now there is an overkill going on in the titon maps.
I am not sure how many ships a klingon would use to protect its ship
yards, dreadnaughts definately, maybe cruisers not sure about warbirds though.
birds of prey are quite week.
myself i prefur a slugging it out match.
my issue with map2 of the series was you had to decloak to scan and
couldn't cloke again surely you could have the cloke feeding off the
power rather than adapt or whatever that is.
just have it as a standard action, I know its not propper but unless
you can scan while cloked that is which you probably should be able to.
I don't think you can fire while cloked but scan I think you can.
The flight and moment in time are just not ready at all, but I
wanted input ont he maps I thought were working and you did a good
job, so thank you very much.
Let me check them out and see what I can get prepared.

Hi allan.
I have been playing through a few of your maps.
The titon maps are real hard, part1 and 2 and the killing one.
Firstly I can't find the enemy ships till they appear on the killing
titon map.
and therefore can't deploy.
Because of this I get my ass kicked.
not that it matters even with everything going as it has the titon
maps are hard.
maps like icaris and seperation don't work at all, the moment in
time works but enterprise text file is not found, in all maps the
colapsing star file is not found though I checked and it does
physically exist.
The borg are to hard.
I can knock them down to half power if I deploy, though half my issue
is the fact that half my ships are on the other side of the map.
So I think either the borg need to be easier or somehow everyone gets
the jugganaught upgrade.
