In Fleet Operations, as you start, you are given an avatar to choose. Only once you've chosen an Avatar, can you play the game.

As far as I am aware, it is only with Fleet Operations that this can be done, as such, I'm looking for an alternative. What I am after is more of a research option; as such, if we had a science station, which gave you two research options, I would like it so that you could only select one of them, as such, once you select the one, the other becomes void (even if you build a second research station).

Is this possible, and if so, how would one go about it? ]]> ST:A2 Modding, Mapping and Editing Aerilon http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-modding-mapping-editing/412305-tech-variations.html planet and sun sod glows http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-modding-mapping-editing/412233-planet-sun-sod-glows.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:37:21 GMT I have made several planets and the sol system's sun for Armada 1 but i am having problems making glows for them.

Lets start out with the largest of my AIP sets...the superside tech AIP. Since all four races build the exact same structures all of the other eleven look exactly like this one but, im pretty sure I will change that. The major thing right now is the lack of officer upgrades though I will be changing that situation around soon.

Now, I wanted to put the Scimitar in the original game so I found the scimitar file at this site but it is not the same because it was edited for the mod. I installed it and I did not like some of the specs so I went into the future concept directory and copied all of the specs from the rscimitar.odf file and the ship is still not the same as the one in the other game. Specifically, when it is fired upon you start loosing systems very quickly before the sheilds go down and in the future concept you dont take any damage to systems until the sheilds go down. That is really all that I want to change. So my question is, is there some other folder that I am not looking at that can change this? ]]> ST:A2 Modding, Mapping and Editing BlackNSB http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-modding-mapping-editing/412121-help.html <![CDATA[[Help] Super Side AI]]> http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-modding-mapping-editing/412090-super-side-ai.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:34:55 GMT You know when you can have construction ships from all races at the start, you will notice that the AIs will only use the one construction ship that...

Whilst doing a little work with some Romulan ships, a thought occurred to me-why not set up the ships with weapons that can fire while cloaked, but are much weaker to simulate less power being available because of the cloak being active? Basically, my thought was that you could have the regular set of weapons with normal power that become disabled when the cloak goes up. The only obstacle to this is figuring out how to disbale the weaker weapons while the cloak is down. Is this even possible? Or would it be simpler to have the weapons right on top of each other and the strong weapons only moderately more powerful, so that the combination of moderate and weak weapons adds up to normal strength weaponry? ]]> ST:A2 Modding, Mapping and Editing ExanRevile http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-modding-mapping-editing/411675-weapons-tied-cloak.html Also a question about planets... http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-modding-mapping-editing/411639-also-question-about-planets.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:37:09 GMT Possible to make a planet have a research button for mining metal?

Always annoyed me that an orbiting station drills into a populated planet. Maybe something that works like the planetary shields? You click it, it costs crew, officers, dilithium and latinum (to simulate surveying) in return for larger deposits. You could still use the orbital station on uninhabited planets. ]]> ST:A2 Modding, Mapping and Editing undedavenger http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-modding-mapping-editing/411639-also-question-about-planets.html Directional Phasers http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-modding-mapping-editing/411635-directional-phasers.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:18:18 GMT Is there any way to make an energy weapon like a phaser or disruptor so that it only fires directly forward?
