Im using your mod for crusade but game crashes to desktop when trying to play the insane and the other gigantic map can't remember what it was called.It works in escessive and smaller maps. Are you going to make the game workable to large maps(Think also more star names have to be added.)?  Pity i removed custom made star trek races i had made with their logos and portraits as i took game off time ago but now re installed and updated to play crusade. Great work keep it up,i love star trek.Are you planning to make more empires and civs from star trek playable as majors and also make some more minors?  Maybe make some quick ones with generic ship sets for use for those that play with lots of empires as i did time ago but its still a lot of work.Ill keep on testing it your mod.Thanks!

Tried to play a game on excessive it crashed to desktop i played on immense and it works and on smaller maps too. If you port minors to majors make sure you add more minors to compensate as game needs certain number of minors.

I am currently playing an excessive map:

No minors or pirates

Have all GST factions

Have 9 default factions:

Drengin, Altarian, Iridium, Krynn, Onyx, Yor, Iconian, Slyne and Thalan

Have had no problems.

Hope this helps narrow down problems  

Is anyone else having issues with GST's custom tech trees or any custom tech trees? Whenever i go into the tech tree of any race the game will hang for around 4-5 min then eventually get to the tree. Tried both clean install live and opt in with only GST as only mod installed.

I would assume people would be making noise if they were having this issue but worth a shot to ask.

I have that issue as well (usually a minute or so), but I have an older computer, so I was ascribing it to that.

Here is a question for you though, when playing the Borg, I don't get my award constructors or transports (from the ideologies), does not happen with any other race that I have tried.

edit: tried validating files, but did not fix problem.

Thank you for that, will try the transport again.

Trying to get my tech tree viewer to work on your mod.

According to the FactionDefs for the Borg they don't have the BasicWeaponsAbility.

There are techs that have this trait .i.e BeamWeapons that are key to the rest of their tree. The tree should be incomplete.

Yet in game the techs displays, this doesn't make any sense, unless I misunderstood the abilities.

My tree viewer is ignoring this tech and any tech connected to it because it doesn't have the matching ability.

If I change the filter to include BasicWeaponAbility it works.

Any ideas???

Correct me if I am wrong.

If I create a tech with the same GenericName as a base tech it will get replaced by the new tech.

In your mod I can only find one reference to BeamWeapons which has the BasicWeapon ability tag.

Borg do not have the BasicWeapon ability, yet the BeamWeapon appears in their tech tree in game. It should not appear.

I use the in game tech tree to compare against my viewer to make sure its working correctly, but the in game tree is not doing as would expect.

If you dont have the ability you dont get the tech. 

Am I missing something?

Looks like good changes be nice to see what you end up.

 Bytheway i managed to get an excessive game working with all star trek civs on and no default game civs on at all.It worked fine had two games and i get the Xindi very near me(dont know if its coincidence or its plotted and setup like that)thing is they seem quite unlikeable are quickly overpowering me and start war with me very soon in the game when iv yet not set my foot down. Iv downloaded some proper real star names from nexus and also put them in mod folder(no i didnt remove your star names)just in case large map requires more star names as in past i got numbers for some stars i hate that happening.Please let me know when you port your minors to majors and update?

Previous message> Ok since i had no answer ill repost- Could it be  iv got patch 2.1.33,do you really need 2.1.4 i think that is an opt in beta? 

Ill try again and try patch it to beta. When you finish porting minors to major and adding new stuff please let me know here or upload to nexus, Thanks. I admire your work i know cos iv done plenty of customising and some modding in the past and its hard tedious work.Keep it up! The Voth could be a good major quite strong empire. There lots others maybe you have them that can be minors e.g. Cheronites,Nyberites,Monean(Marine world people),Mizarians,Mazerites,Bynar,Kazarite(green fingered pastural aliens),Pakleds,Malon(hazardous waste aliens),Jarada(insectoids),Baneans,Numerians,Caldoon,El Aurian,arcturians,Axanar,Corvallen,Selay,Devore. Anyway just to name a few in case you need add more minors.

Just out of curiosity, in the faction defs you often have different blueprints than your starting ships, (which are defined by abilities now).  Are these just legacy code now, or did you intend for the races to have multiple starting ships?
