GalaxyMod d1.05 Change Log:
d1.05 Changes:
==============
-Compatibility update for SoaSE Diplomacy v1.32.
-Resource asteroids on Slave Shielded Worlds can now be captured as neutral resources.
This update includes a large number of behind the scenes code fixes/corrections. Thanks to Dunkelzhan63 for his help with that. I'm not sure what impact these fixes may have but during a multiplayer play test last night my co-tester did comment that he thought the game was running smoother than in previous versions.
The Asgard saw a couple additions this update, designed to further differentiate them from the other races and add to their unique characteristics. Two new researches that play into their "highly mobile" nature have been added. Their late game "constant experience" for cap ship research has also been improved, giving them the ability to deploy much more powerful capital ships in the late game without the need to train/invest them (Edit: There is a mistake in the readme concerning this, it should say 6th, not 5th level). With the revised pacts in this version, the Asgard an Ori no longer have the most (in my opinion) mutually beneficial pact cohesion. Instead I believe that distinction now belongs to the Asgard and the Ancients, which makes far more sense.
The Wraith saw the most significant changes this update. I decided to leverage ability/buff stacking to give them a boost in late game power. A couple of their old abilities such as the Spire's Bolster Fleet area of effect may seem weaker by stats at first glance but Bolster Fleet now stacks up to 4 times in overlapping areas of coverage, giving a larger overall boost. The Hive's Malevolent Aura now stacks to x3 and has an added debuff as well. Two new x5 stacking area of effect buffs have been added for the Mindshredder and Marshal Support cruisers as well.
The Wraith siege frigate no longer doubles as their anti-structure frigate. The primary weapon on the Spire has been expanded to include the damage from the previous secondary weapons and the secondary weapon has been changed to anti-structure. Along with a boost to hull points, this should make the Spire a much more useful and effective means of dealing with starbases and other defensive structures. I also think it's a much more natural role to have on the Spire than on the Devourer.
Finally, the Wraith Hive Ship can become much more powerful in the late game than it could in previous versions of the mod. A research entry has been added that allows a secondary targetting bank to all it's weapons (meaning that it can fire at twice as many targets simultaneously like a starbase or the Ori cap ships), effectively doubling total possible damage output. With a pact in place this can be increased to 3 banks, potentially trippling it's firepower.
So far, all the above changes seem to have turned out fairly well. I'll be interested in hearing what you guys think, particularily those of you who commented that the Wraith were underpowered in the late game in previous versions and how this round of additions helps in that.
