The Venators alone should have brought the shields down...I assume you used Power to Weapons? It's possible that the enemy has a great number of shield upgrades from various planets.

I was playing GFFA attacking the Independent controlled Munnilist if it helps any. I didn't have the problem in 1.1.

Regeneration rates haven't changed... I don't know what to tell you.

[smashedsaturn]

im having CTD when i save sometimes, ussualy right after a major victory on GFFA, its really frustrating to loose a 40 minute tac battle after wining it

1.2 is great, land battles is great too and playable now, thank you Team! .
In Steam version all perfectly works because of your help (deleting XML) .

But there is one question: in 1.1 there are different symbols on icons for different mods of space units. As i remember it is a foreign mod. But why didn't you introduce it into 1.2? It is a very useful mod, imho.

Been waiting for this mod for years, watching from the shadows. Hands down the most satisfying mod for foc with most replayability. Very well done PR team, more than worth the wait

Does anybody else have a problem with high shield regeneration rates? I attacked a Golan II defense platform with 5 Venator I's, 3 Dreadnought I's and about 40 fighter squadrons and I couldn't bring the shields of the Golan down, even after attacking it for five minutes.

You're probably not firing a full salvo and attacking the Golan from max range with your fleet. If you check in the manual, you see that different turbolasers have different ranges. The Venators, like most other destroyers, capitals and some frigates have a few heavy duty turbolasers and several lighter and medium ones. It adds a strategical element in addition to the star wars realism, where you have to choose whether to bombard a target from a distance for a longer period of time or close in to fire more lasers. Some targets with very good shield generators, such as the Golan II and III tend to require a real pounding before the shields start going down, and for this early-tech heavy turbolasers wont cut it.

good job with the ai !!!
nicely done !!! it was worth all those years of longing.
you could have named it 2.0 given all the improvements.

did you change some of the weapon stats i.e ranges ? i had to put my acclamators almost on top of an enemy space station before they opened fire.
also they did not advance when given the attack order. they simply stoped.

oh, and i miss the icons for upgraded units too. they where realy useful for quick checking which designs have upgrades available. assembling fleets was also easier.

I root for the empire in case you didn't notice .

Oh, I do too. I just think that the Tarkin Doctrine depends on the threatened planets only thinking in the short term.

We need to recapture all the icon images at higher resolution for the manual, so every unit icon you see in-game now is going to be blown up. Probably going to look to add a position just for icons.

I kept thinking that, but I'd say v1.2 all along. At the end of the day, it's just a number, so I kept it.

Acclamator has been rigged properly for the first time. It has a topside main battery like the ISD, so it has trouble with the ventral arc.

One thing I don't really like is how carrier ships deploy fighters. With my Imperial class-II SD's they deploy transports and bombers for the first couple waves. I personally would want fighters mainly and a couple bomber squadrons for the first couple waves. And I don't know if it's just me but it seems to take forever for another squadron to deploy.

Other than that it's been more than awesome so far!

[evilbobthebob]

I think that complements are spawned in order of squadron combat strength; they certainly aren't spawning in the order they are in XML (which is fighters through to transports).

[cromy]

Well i dunno what was actully wrong but they've started taking planets so a fresh install fixed it and also can now alt tab without the game crashing as well.

[Phoenix Rising]

Gumball, there's actually nothing we can do about that. It's not combat power - the engine runs some function (hence the spawn lag) to asses your fleet strengths, possibly against the enemy, and spawns accordingly. If you bring a bunch of bombers in the fleet, it'll probably spawn fighters or transports first. I'm not sure the exact conditions; it's different every time.

[evilbobthebob]

Very odd. Does your mod shortcut run with administrator privileges, and does it point to the swfoc.exe directory in both Start in and Target fields? Does the vanilla game run?

Oh ok, that actually makes sence. I guess I should build more fighters then, ha ha!

Just playing on easy to get the hang of it. I love how they back off and give you time on easy so you can figure things out.

Ahah. Isn't your swfoc.exe in Program Files (x86) ?
