1. Can anyone suggest good tutorial vids/threads for learning to use it?


2. Are the Voth and their War Dinos in the Editor?

    1 . StarbaseUGC.Com has a wealth of tutorials, and various links to help. there is also an attached chat room often full with experienced authors asking each other questions and being silly. They're like always there to answer and help.

    Also in game there is the FoundryTalk chat channel.

    2. yes, after a fashion but unfortunately you cannot control exactly what appears, and it's frustrating (at least to me) more often than not.


    Hope to see you around.

    I wrote up an assessment here http://starbaseugc.com/index.php/news/voth-npc-group-test-report/#more-14688

    That contains a breakdown of what types of voth have a chance of spawning in each group.

    Here's the link to the tutorial list on Starbase UGC. I recommend starting with PrimetimeUGC's Back to Basics series.

    The Voth are available as NPC groups (i.e. things you can fight), however we don't have them as contacts and what appears in the groups is a little random.

    That's okay. I just had an idea for a multi-species band of mercs/pirates for a mission is all. I wanted to throw the Voth and their dinos into the mix.

    You can, but remember that many enemy factions are also enemies with each other. So they'll fight with each other as much as with the player.

    Ugh, there's no way to get them to ally w/ each other? :-/ How am I supposed to do joint Romulan/Klingon teams, etc? X-S

    You can take two or three groups of the same faction but use different models/uniforms (forgot the name) per group or npc. This way it may look like three different groups. Only downside is that they all use the same weapon type and way to combat of the selected faction.

    So, if you'll be using three KDF groups, you could mask them into:
    1) Group A is Undine.
    2) Group B is Romulan.
    3) Group C is Breen.

    They'll still "see" eachother as KDF, they'll shoot with disruptors and behave like klinks do.

    If you can speak german, there is a very good 200-pages-manual from the german author "benalexander" (link)

    I know, you ask for vids, but it is a good reference book :)
