I'll let Hector0x make any actual changes to the mercenaries and logic behind them. Its pretty intense and I don't want to muck it up. Changing the costs, via a perk was an extremely easy insertion with little programming risk. I am currently adding back the "Defend Position" command, although grea...

I haven't used the OWP's yet, but fighters die easily since pirates rarely come solo. Was defend position removed? Or maybe I am just not seeing it. That came in handy to prevent slow ships from chasing faster ones across a sector. That's one reason I liked Lasertowers and OWP, OWP are tough and LT...

Thank you, that fixed the problem!

Are you going to expand the Orbital's and defense fighters beyond what is there currently or have that as an option in 9973 file ?

I added the beta addon and one thing I noticed is mercenaries turning enemy easy and then stuck as enemy for a long time. I killed a bunch I hired and then for next hour so far every mercenary is an enemy and still waiting for them to stop being enemies. Has anyone else had this problem ? Been getti...

I have noticed debris collisions as well, happen frequently to miners. I have lost a station or two to cap ship collisions too. would increasing mining laser range possibly help the miners ? maybe increasing laser range in general will help with many collision scenarios. Maybe making debris further ...

I am curious, does anyone know where Litcube went?
Hopefully he is ok and just not gaming right now.

Just found this link, didnt test the downloads.... http://litcubeswiki.rf.gd/luwiki/wiki/index.php/Download.html Can also try this : http://web.archive.org/web/20200808185226/http://litcube.xtimelines.net/wiki/index.php/Download I have all the files saved from years ago and if needed can put online ...

Is there a way to kick start the OCV? certain settings in 'addon/t/9973-L044.xml' can boost them Try these: double OCV ship spawn rate: <t id="20">50</t> <!-- general OCV construction cycle multiplier faster invasions: <t id="57">0</t> <!-- OCV and Xenon invader fleets extra waiting time between st...

Is there a way to kick start the OCV?
The invasion notification hasn't been sent and they stopped taking sectors.

Maybe a script that can be run ?

One thing I have noticed, if i do the mission where the Xenon spawn from Jump Beacon 1 sector over. If I don't destroy that Beacon it will continue to kick out Xenon over time. I have been taking advantage of this to have Xenon clear out Sectors for me and then I kill them and take over. So far acqu...

diplomacy screen in ministry of war has a button to make peace. But its only clickable if they actually want peace. Once that is the case you will be notified with a big on-screen alert and this peace option will remain available for at least 8 hours. There is no ticking war exhaustion and they als...

I have been at War with Teladi for a long time now, and have seen other wars start and end. Teladi started the war.
How do I end this war? Am I at the mercy of the AI deciding when to end it ?

One possibility for the problem is having read-only files in your install directory. I have no idea how they could get this way, but it fits the problem. This would cause a mismatch of voices, and also would be something I would never see if I were to run YOUR map. ZMap creates the map in \mayhem 3...

Yes, you could make all systems have 2-5 planets by messing with that template file. ZMap has nothing to do with terraforming and invasions etc.. as you know, so you would need to alter the mayhem 3 code for that. I've not been able to duplicate the Sector Names issue so far. I have only been able ...

Using this on my first Zerohour playthrough. it definately adds more flavor to the game. How is number of planets and their bonuses decided per sector ? First, thank you for the kind comment. I think it adds a lot of flavor too :P Actual Number of Planets in a given sector is driven entirely by thi...

I am still really liking this mod combined with Zmap, have made some cool universes with pocket areas I utilize. Amazing Work Hector0x, as well as Joubarbe and everyone else who worked on this. The advantages of the Courier is that they can pickup/drop off multiple product in one run. So they can be...

increasing how many Stations per sector would be nice to be able to build everything needed in one sector efficiently. Like a big city with suburbs around it feeding it. I have been simulating this using couriers, I pick a sector name starting with A and build support sectors around it. And courier ...

I have learned that couriers are the most reliable as well.... too many times station agents are just sitting there and not able to find anything to do. I have setup one loop per end product for production using 6 Zephyrus since they are very fast and normal TS.... so 12 couriers setup. Haven't trie...

Any Plans to update this for Zero Hour ?
