Title: SFC2 play balance single player problems
Post by: red_green on April 28, 2003, 12:43:05 pm

OK well I have played sfc/OP for about a month.  No matter what difficulty I play. I get the same problem in single player conquest mode. 95% of the missions are way too easy. Is there a way to balance it so most of the missions are a challenge?

Also wondering if SFC1 is better for single player as far as being more challenging.

SFC1 may have more interesing missions, but as far as challange go. It's not any harder than SFC2.

Seeing you are playing SFCOP. Try these two mission packs:

Those zips have some great missions. Still In conquest I can not get the balance good. I rtied editing the metaassests.gf file.

I increased the chances of creating 2 or 3 ships. Still I get missions that are so easy they end in 3 minutes or so hard they are impossible.  No in between at all. So either I am bored too death or frustrated.

This game may leave my HD soon. Dang because I like how it plays. I wish the missions played out so they were hard but doable by the skin of your teeth.

Hope my last post didn't sound like I was whining. I really think this is a great game. I still am messing with the meta asset.gf file.  There are a couple entries that seam to adjust the min and max of enimy bvp. By default in the conquest mode they are 33% less then base for min and 300% for max.  The base bvp is 100.

Thought I would try a basew bvp of 150. Not sure if that means 150% bvp compared to my fleet or what?
Then I would make the min bvp just 5% and the max maybe 110%. Then I could see how strong the game makes the opposeing fleets and adjust the base bvp as necessary.

The problem is I have a Ncl and an FF  and the game has me fight a orion frigate 90% of the time. Then it goes from that easy extreme to throwing 3 dreadnaughts and 3 cruisers at my 2 ships.
Sure I could create balanced battles in skirmish. I really-really really want a balanced conquest campaign. Then every battle will be a challenge.  

I typed all this crap in the hopes that somebody already has figured this out and can same me some time.
