Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

oh ok i geuss ill do that also im thinking of adding a psionic nexus that has 0 space and everything built in and can only ram into enemy ships but the ship will also heal over time so it heals after ramming a psionic nexus ill call it and only psychic species get it.

is their a way i can create like a good megescale engineer racial trait that way some species are good at building ringworlds and dyson spheres.

and any ideas for racial qiuirks?

oh severel new racial techs

Mechanical assimiliation:ie borg
Infestational assimilation http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/blush.gifnly for space monsters

oh and a new tech area http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon10.gifreamology:the study of dreams this can create several different compoinents on its own and can be combined with racial techs to form better components like

Psychicly induced nightmare:causes a ship to not fire for 8 turns due to the fact they are busy crying and running from gient dream bunnys

Dream shrine:increases a planets hap[piness by giving them good dreams each night

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

some new infantry sizes

Protecter:large and very expensive in organics

Security guard:for corparations only

Hired Goon:for corperates only again

oh and a new infantry weapon for you out their with a more psychotic feel the chainsaw hee hee hee ZNNN ZNNNN ::CUT: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon10.gifIE ::mwuhahahahahaahah

corparations get the new ship race cruiser with the ability to have as many engines as it wants

Repair dock

dOCKING FIGHTER BAYS

ships

Race cruiser:a ship that adds 5 bonus movement and has as many engines as you and i may make itd movement system newtoniean

Checkpoint: a sat that has a built in repair thing and some supplys but only enough room for a computer core

Pit station:a small base big enoiugh only for a pit crew and the necesaryy components

oh and i made the nueral net general tech as it is now in Nanotech new facility computer archives all ships in the system have exp equel to youre best ship btw all corparete ships have zero maintenence and i remoed the tree of life facility since i added the Protecter Unit

Owch. Think you could clean up some of that multiposting?

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>psionic nexus that has 0 space and everything built in and can only ram into enemy ships<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Problem: zero components means Zero hitpoints.

If restrictions worked, you could allow only armor on it, with organic armor you'd have the effect you want.

Efficient Megascale Racial trait? How about Half-size & half-cost plating & cabling. You could fit them on baseships and drive em where you want, or build the world with half the normal number of starbases.

Mechanical assimiliation:ie borg
For borg, I reccommend "organic armor boarding parties"
With those, you can't capture through shields or SDDs, but one ship can make lots of attempts and capture lots of ships, since their boarding parties regenerate each turn!

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

Wow how did that happen?? oh well ill fix it in the morning.... well some new stuff for you all

Infinite improbability drive a masssivley powerfull engine that is very very very big

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

question can i create a planet from thin air?
and space monsters are able to harness resources thru remote mining with drones who gather Organics,and Pollinators who gather Radioactives im thinking i may let them colonize but only the queen and dont have any resource gathering facilitys so the only purpose of colonizing is

A:so no one else can
B:to build weap [platforms and spaceyards and Resupply depots
C:to keep population of other species prisnor

Spaxce monster components:

CHameleon Carapace:STealth armor

Web ball:unables them to fire for a while

No problem, Lord Kodos: I cleaned 'em up. I believe it happens if you press Submit multiple times for the same message (if the board is slow it looks like nothing happens, but it really does - hence multiple Posts appear).

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

thanks why am i up?? oh well some new stuff
did i mention all space monster ships and compnents heal over time and share exp
M.D cannon :yaknow form enders game

Psionic cloak field: a cloak that requires less supplys but for psychics

Temporal claok http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/tongue.gifrovides a level of cloak only temporal sesnors detect as it exists in another time


New bug stuff again for space monsters

Pnumatized carapace:adds bonus movement and counts as armor but requires rad

Photsynthsis glands:generates supplys from stars

Crystalline carapce:when hit turns damage to sheilds

Any ideas on how to put supernovas in the game?it would suck you into the center but the center would not destroy only damage you but then in a few turns it would turn to either a Nuetron star or black hole

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

M.D cannon :yaknow form enders game
Molecular Disruption Device. The "Little Doctor" Can destroy any planet or star. Size of a missile. Good luck balancing that.

Web:a mine that destroys the engines
Easy. Just change its weapon damage from "normal" to "Engines only"

Internal goo - Phased shilding.
How about making it like my BuckTube Gel Armor? Then it is actually internal, and works against every weapon in the game (excepting Psi-Subverters) In your case, you could make it protect against Engine Destroying attacks too, since the AI can design ships with more than the legal limit of engines http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif It would be described as a honeycomb filled with high-damage-resistance goo, critical components are placed in core cells.

Photsynthsis glands:generates supplys from stars
Glands? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it be a Photosynthesizing Skin? Could be armor, or described as fitting under armor. Would likely come in very small segments, since it is nearly impossible to destroy the entire skin at once.

How about this component?

Immune system - boarding defense (same ability as Security Station)

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
