Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

can i turn a planet into a sun?or a planet of type a to type b?

Comonents


Bussard ramjet:a engine simwhat slower then a Nova engine but uses no supplies

Robotic terraforers:large but increases a planets conditions and value.

Nano armor:biological armor but at its highest it is equal to bio armor level 2 only..

Gauss cannon:medum power and good range but usees some ssupllies

Emp cannon:disables one ships weapons for 20 turns but is hard to research and is hefty and has a reload of 20 as well

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

Beamer:a average weapon slightly better then a meson bLaster for Infantry as well.

Blazer:a better beamer and for ground as well.

Tasp:yes i mentioned it before but now infantry havbe it also http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif oops fired it at the worng end Lol

Interceptors http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/tongue.gifd missles

Decoy missles:a missle that is fast and does no damage used to distract PD cannons

Ships:

Asteroid ship:a slow ship with a lot of armor and needs megascale engineering as well

Juggernuaght bigger then a super dreadnought(in my mod they are called Krakkens)but smaller then a base ship(renamed flagship)

Moniter:a 5 kt pemranantly cloaked sat

Raider:for pirates only it has a lot of supply storage built in and a high engine capicity good for hit and run missions or as pack scavangers or mop ups quite possibly the most strategeic pirate ship.

Guerilla raider:same as above but with stalth armor and slightly smaller

Plunderer:a pirate equivelent of a cruiser.

I really should not be basing anything off of the description of a component.

Create Constructed Planet
Value1 = The Special Ability ID in PlanetSize.txt to construct.


This would still require the "destruction" of a star to build each one.
NO building moons & stuff.

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

i have a new species type sun colonists they have no colony modules instead they create Sun colonys!! ohh yay and some new sun colonys see below

Sun colony:for sun dwellers only

Hiveworld:requires severel comonents like goo and stuff For bugs only

Star harvester:a small tiny sized colony that procuces a good sum of rads and its for us all to enjoy....

"Create Constructed Planet

Yeah, still requires a star, but it does work. Change this to, say, 3, add the appropriate entries to the other files, and you're in business.

You CAN'T, however, make a race that only colonizes stars. First, SE4 requires you to pick a starting type/air, and automatticly gives out the tech. Second, these new structes do NOT start out with a colony on them. You have to colonize them.

If not, you could repeatedly destroy and create the planet until a type B was randomly generated.

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

the atmosphere will be different every time, im not sure about planet type. size and resource value is constant.

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

Asteroids are always "rock", but turn into any of Ice/Gas/Rock when planetized.

I believe that if you keep smashing and rebuilding, you can get any atmosphere with any surface. Thusly, with enough time and budget, you could colonize all planets in a "own atmosphere/surface only" game.

These are always subject to the restrictions of: no Gas/None, Gas giants are always large or huge.
