Update on Scimitar

[A8686]

UPDATE~~ U can get the stats for the Scimitar in the scenero by copy/paste to the romulan section and removeing the 2 letter command line that only allows it in the scenero i belive its AI?... this is all done in the DEFULTLOADOUT.txt file

To use the Scimitar, the first step is to go into the defaultloadout with Excel, and remove the AI indicator from the Scimitar listing. This will allow the game to load the scimitar as a regular ship in the skirmishs, but as far as I know there's no way at present to run the ship in the campaigns. However, editing the ship will be difficult because the designers didn't bother to map out the hardpoints. The only way I found to do it was with a hardpoint editor like the one made by D'Deridex. I don't recall where I found it. I think it was on a fileplanet sight though.

If there's a way to extract the hardpoint set from the mission, I'm not sure what it is. The game finds the default weapons set automatically somehow, even though there's no set in the defaultcore file I can find. If someone has some thoughts on that, let me know.

I went to the DefaultLoadOut file but did not see an AI next to the scimitar, I only saw an NS.

[Threnian]

AI is a computer only player.
NS is I THINK Non/skirmish or Not/Sold

either indicator would make that ship unavailable in SP or MP missions

BTW. I THINK there is a way if you do it right to have the hardpoints set right, I'm not sire quite how I did it, but the last time I installed the scimitar mod, it loaded up with all hardpoints in the right places, everything set right. Shrug

I deleted the NS thing and it showed up on single player skirmish. man, that thing makes a Borg Cube look like an akira class.

[Threnian]

well, yea, it's a monster.....but the game naturally only has one battleship....the sovergn and warbird are both listed as DN. I thought it was funny the big klingon ships were only listed as DN's.

I was also pretty pissed they didn't have any cardi's or dominion ships available in the natural game. I havn't seen any good mods for that either

[Rob1124]

so am I, I wanted to use a cardassian ship, and when I downloaded the dominion wars mod I thought that there would be at least a couple of Cardassian or Dominion ships, but I have not seen any yet.

[manitoba1073]

yeah those ships are there. the cardassian and dominion ships.

but if u look at my side pic that ship will chew a scimitar to shreds in about 15 secs or quicker. lol its my special toy
