Fleet Operations: Tactical Maneuvers

posted on August 25th, 2024, 4:09 am

Just to be sure, you're installing Tactical Maneuvers totally separate from Fleet Ops, right? Not in the Mods folder anymore.

Yes, it is not working as a standalone.

But, i i try the old method, like pushing it into a mods folder below a fleetops install, i can activate the mod, and it seemingly works...

Can you upload the error report, or at least screenshots of all the tabs from the error report? Also have you tried changing the DPI Scaling settings of the shortcut or the game executable?

He said there are Klingon turrets on that map so Tryptic has to remove or replace those to stop the map from crashing.

Yeah, there are NPC turrets - and this is a big plus point for the map, as it adds an additional tactical component. It would be a great pity if this were no longer possible with TM!

A new bug: I can't level the Sovereign class to max.

Found another very strange bug and suspect it's related to the Borg. (I have played the same map several times with this version and have never had this bug, but also no Borg as opponents)

In some areas (more and more) the ships no longer react correctly. For example, construction ships fly to the construction site, but do not start construction and resource collectors simply stop, for example. What is always common is that the ships remain nose down.

Next crash, when trying to use the Borg's optimisation.

Hey Tryptic, do you still post updates / answers to your mod here? I have to admit that I have no need to install Discord or anything like that right now...

What I also notice negatively in the current version in terms of gameplay is the lack of the cancel button for construction orders. It has now happened several times that I have lost construction ship(s) that I could have saved by cancelling the construction in the event of an attack. This somehow makes no logical sense.

Hey there, I'm not dead! I haven't been able to dedicate any time to modding recently due to a work crunch (among other things). But I have no intention of stopping development, and I'm getting closer to returning. I should be able to put out a new version in about a month, fixing the Fed veteran ships and a few other bugs I've been told about.

The cancel construction button missing is one I hadn't noticed, since I always use the Backspace key to do it. If you want to speed up my investigation, you can list the construction ships/stations which are missing the button, and when (if they are missing the button only sometimes). Once I get back into it I'll be able to go through all the cases and find them myself if needed.

Hey Tryptic,

I've been playing a lot of this mod since I got back into TNG, DS9, VOY and Enterprise.

I love the additions you have made to the mod, it makes the game feel even better than the last time I played it many, many years ago.

I do have some suggestions, though not sure how or if they could be added to the mod.

I noticed in the mod, the player can transfer resources by using the Starbase upgrade. I was curious if this same feature could be made so the player had to build a trading station (like one of the older Armada games) to access this feature.

I was also curious if the runabout could be added to one of the starting avatars that would replace the venture class as the scout. I only really play as the Feds on skirmish... just just something to spice up the gameplay early on. I'm not sure about balancing but I feel like a runabout would be beefier in terms of the venture class.

My last idea would be to see if the Luna class could make an appearance. I don't recall seeing it in the original fleet ops, again, not sure about balancing in terms of the other races.

The only other thing I can think of is adding *events* to the map as well as being able to buy salvaged ships from the Ferengi.. I realise that this is a balancing mod so I'm not sure how relevant these would be to the gameplay/ mod, or even if any of these are achievable.

Fantastic work on the mod, it cheered me up that fleetops is surviving in ways!
