disable enemy from surrendering
hi, we use borg ships in some of our missions (in conjuction with the GM screen and the Star Trek TNG mod), how can we set it up so that the borg ships will never surrender (as they don't in Star Trek). we ran a few senarious tonight, and all 4 times the borg ships surrendered. how can we prevent this?

Just don't ask them to. Then they won't.

but what if the Coms officer does it with out being asked to from the Captain, thats why we want to disable it for the BORG vessels
DiSable the comms counsel. For a more specie way you'd need to edit the mod. Or the base game. There are AI stacks and you'd to set them so that the ship won't surrender. But I only know how to do that for missions. Implementing it to the game would be much more difficult.

This should be easy. Just have your mission script set the Borg ship's surrenderChance to zero. I have never tested this but I assume it works.
If the players are actually demanding that Borg cubes surrender to them, the game master should throw in some quips about "Chutzpah is futile. You will be assimilated."

ok, how do I set the AI stack so they don't surrender, and where do I put in the surrenderChance 0 code at in the file, sorry im still new to this, we are using modloader with the Marks Star Trek TNG v2 mod
We only want to do it for the missions, not the whole game, and just so it affects the Borg ships in the Mod

That is not part of the AI stack, it is a property of the ship. You need this line somewhere after your Borg Cube has been created. Assuming the ship is named "Cube" the line is:
<set_object_property name="Cube" property="surrenderChance" value="0"/>
<set_object_property name="Cube" property="surrenderChance" value="0"/>

We tried this Mike, It Seemed to work for a while, but now they seem to Surrender more times then not.
Interesting. Try a ridiculously small number, like <set_object_property name="Cube" property="surrenderChance" value="0.0001"/>
