I tried restoring those files, but sadly it didn't help.

Thanks for reporting back. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. At least we know it wasn't caused by the mod.

Thanks to Sirian for providing some suggestions. Always good to know people are around to offer help.

A very nice mod.

Unfortunately it is not fun playing, with most of the tech tree made useless, by having the "special" components available for everyone.

How do I turn that off?

edit: Also, the ship sizes seem to be out of proportion (Federation has 70% larger ships, so the normal Space Creatures and Pirates can be rofl stomped with a single ship). No need to research beyond the Shipyard wonder. Also I dont understand why I have to scratch by with freighter sizes in the beginning, when my military builds the big ships already.

Thanks for the good feedback.

The special components need to be assigned to specific races. I'll fix this for the next update. Some of the choices are quite nice, since you can pick a quick route with some techs (Novacore reactors for example) or you can take the long standard route which results in better tech. However tech such as starship manoeuvering is a no brainer, it's best to go with the swift vector.

So the question is, should I assign all the special techs or only the ones that remove choice from the tech tree?

Ship sizes are way too big right now. This worked fine with Legends but after Shadows changed the pirate factions, it's not working as intended. I'm going to significantly reduce ship sizes in the next update.

I think assigning all special techs from the tech tree (not the first few super techs) would be the best available option given the purposely non existing options with regards to tech modding.

Imho race specific technologies are a contradiction in itself, since the defining characteristic of technology itself is, that it is universal, given sufficient mental capabilities for understanding. I would much more prefer something like the "tech focus", which would lead to a tech advantage in certain areas. So a characteristic tech advantage, eg better engines/beam weapons, is a choice/preference rather than a predetermined fate.

Thankyou stanstill, it was alot of work making all the tiny troop images. Almost all are complete just a few more to go.

It shall be done.

Completely agree. Maybe DW2 will do things differently if it comes to be. I'd like to see a larger tech tree with branches that provide the player with choices and the AI will focus on tech based on their racial settings (modable). Tech could only be disallowed by diplomacy such as the Federation/Romulan treaty of Algeron which banned use of cloaking technology by the Federation.

given the troop images i cant wait to see what the kirk era troop images would look like they would have to be red shirts but the tanks and the artillery would be interesting

Hmm, just checked the DL link and it seemed to be working, didn't go as far as redownloading the file itself, but could get that far.

Link is broken too. Try DLing and you get a "page not found" error. Please fix (filefront sucks, suggest using mediafire).

Hi guys, I thought you might want to see this little Scottish spoof about Star Trek in the Picard Era, By the way you might need to check that your universal translators are working. ( sorry about the video quality )but I think it is still funny![;)]

Scottish Star Trek very funny!

I have the same problem. The "Spock Era" download on MediaFire is the only download of yours that work for me, but it seems to differ from person to person

I am back with some research.
GameFront apparently blocked certain countries from downloading things from their website, and Sweden is on that list.
Is there any way I can get hold of the mod without going through GameFront?

Hi,

I have the same problem with provided link and i can't download the mod. Really want to give it a try so if there's option for second mirror for download it will make IMO lot of other people also happy :)

Edit:
I found a solution for downloading this mod - using "online proxy" for downloading outside of USA is working here. Google will help you to find one :)

Hello Gyrospeck.
Not at the present moment. I'm awaiting to hear from Igard, the mods' creator I assisted
to find out when he's ready to begin the changeover. Be patient, it should be soon.
