[Mod] ST: New Horizons: A Stellaris Total Conversion

[Rosevelts Ghost]

I disagree. they can still use it in their portfolio when or if they decide to pursue a professional career in that sector. Let's keep Capitalism out of a few things, shall we?
People are motivated by more than money.

I mean, hey I as a Catholic Syndicalist would prefer a different system. But as capitalism exists at the moment i would love these guys to be compensated. Oh and I love that you guys got rid of the 1000 point naval capacity thing. With this game it really doesn't make sense. Its great that now as the Fed I got myself a six ambassader fleet.

I mean couldn't they create a Patreon page or something? But forcing people to pay excludes some. 10 dollars/Euros may not be much for you and me but it is a lot for many people, especially young people. But this whole debate is hypothetical anyways.

Thanks for the info Harel Eilam. I suppose that is because of some game limitation?

Is it intended that the Xindi races are no longer subspecies of each other?

On that topic, does anyone else thing the Garidians should be a Romulan subspecies? They look basically identical, and in "A Final Unity", the Romulans were sharing their ships and technology with them, so it doesn't seem quite right to me that the Romulans enslave them once they integrate them.

Unrelated: The Harmony tradition tree includes a tradition that reduces ethics divergence. As the Dominion doesn't have factions, this is pretty useless to them; they should probably have their own option there - maybe something that boosts their influence? Without factions or elections, I found it pretty hard to get enough influence, especially with Changeling infiltration costing influence.

 

[Rosevelts Ghost]

So what are the future plans on ship designs? Are there any plans to add a third default?

 

[DahndI]

Is there somewhere I can find a guide for dominion? I am currently considering whether I should just remove the two proto species (Did so in my last dominion game) but I read somewhere that they might be improved beyond the standard versions?

 

[Walshicus]

So, finally figured out why the Mirror Universe events were getting broken for some players today... Looks to be a bug with how "this" scope is missing from special projects completed while the location they're attached to is in combat. Either way, came up with a fix which should be included in our next hotfix.

Until then, Terran Empire players will just need to make sure to disable the Tholian Scout / Tholian Base before starting the project.

 

[safe-keeper]

I was never much of a Star Trek fan, but I like the idea of mega-mods and total conversions for this game, so I guess I'll keep an eye on this .

 

[DahndI]

Are the Dominion and the Proto species a work in progress? Just tried to uplift them instead eradicating them and and all I got were some vastly inferior subject who are prone to happiness and malcontent! It's outrageous!

 

[Walshicus]

Heh, to be honest I don't know why people would uplift them... to my mind at least they're just there for flavour purposes to show where the Founders took their template from. I'll make a note to revisit them though.


Anyhow, just a small update on some stuff that I've been working on lately. First is one of the new species being added in our next major update:

The Yridians will be joined by a number of races, including the Lurians.


I've also spent some time expanding the "[species] Literature" events that until now were limited to the Cardassians. Here are a couple of examples of the minor flavour additions to the game (the second one will only be available to Klingons, so ignore the reference to Talaxian Commonality in it! ):

 

[DahndI]

Heh, to be honest I don't know why people would uplift them...

Because we can? To boldly go where none has gone before?

hi im currently playing as the federation. this is my first playthrough since the big changes introduced by paradox, and the changes made to new horizon, not an ironman game.

i started off as ensign and im pretty far through now. i would like to change to difficulty mid game. ive downloaded notepad ++ and i editted the meta save file from ensign to captain, but when i reload the save file all i see is a blank galaxy? would hate to have to restart the entire playthrough...

couple of bugs when playing as the feds if not already disussed...

1) new species notifications pop up twice... for example when i first contact the romulans, the greeting window and the new species window pops up twice..

2) the altamid swarm mission creates a new system if im correct, this directly overlays on top of another system, so two systems occupy the same space.

apart from that, the changes made are amazing, such a more realstic flow now and a pleasure to play!

 

[Rhel]

Are there any events to get a more militarist vulcan high command, the way it was shown in Enterprise?
IIRC there are events to embrace Terra Prime as humanity, so this might be nice too.

 

[boratlike1]

Is the AI a bit bugged in this maybe? I'm playing as the Federation and I've completely eclipsed all other races (apart from Borg) in terms of technology and fleet power so there really just isn't any challenge anymore. I've noticed the AI seems incredibly passive with hardly any wars breaking out in the alpha/beta quadrants. Also the AI just doesnt really seem to expand like the Klingons and Romulans are still so small and now everyone is 'pathetic' compared to me. Is this a known bug or am I just really good at this game?

 

[Walshicus]

I guess the first question is, what difficulty are you playing on?

 

[boratlike1]

I guess the first question is, what difficulty are you playing on?

Ensign dificulty, yeah maybe I shouldve changed this one

 

[kamikazi992]

I upped the difficulty via the save game file and also the ai aggressiveness. Races have expanded a little but still no major threats have formed. The only equivalent is the Borg.

Ill try a captain level difficulty on a new game and see if that is any different

 

[Overlord123]

The land clearance edict seems to be bugged, I can use it multiple times.

Also why do the unaffected races only have pathetic technology levels?

The Enhanced and Superior Skirmisher sensor packages of the cruiser have the same stats.

 

[superdeluxe]

Is this a known bug? I am playing the Federation, had several members in the Federation. When I tried to add a protectorate, showed relatively power of empire modifier at -240.

Was it counting the other nations that are in the Federation?

 

[Rosevelts Ghost]

I was wondering but have you thought of doing a federation third era event meant to be like a bigger version of the events in STII and STIII just like you did with Star Trek Beyond?

 

[kamikazi992]

So Im currently playing through as the Feds and loving it. However with regards to the wormhole and the Bajoran System I have a few gripes...

If you manage to get the Bajorans to become a member of the Federation, which I have - then there is no possibility of maximising the starbase in that sector to its full advantage. Im currently stuck with a 3.0k starbase and a Dominion fleet on the other side which will overpower it in seconds if they come through...

The message that pops up saying how the discovery of the wormhole will change the balance of power in the quadrant, well in the TV show it was certainly true, however as it stands, there is no incentive to encourage control of the Bajoran system, other than "there is a quick way to the Gamma Quadrant there" - Would it be possible to introduce a LARGE incentive, such as increased research points, speeds, a large energy and mineral deposit, properity (all of these things) so that actually owning the wormhole would be a major plus to any race controlling it. Thhink of all the trade the gamma quadrant species brought through!
