Re: Masters Mod v1.6: One Small Step for Masters
 

What a shame... when you first announced the mod I thought it was going to be a MOO-based mod just based on the name of it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Masters Mod v1.6: One Small Step for Masters
 

Any hint of new "Master" categories???

Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you )
 

Download: Masters Mod v1.7: May the Masters be with you

Here's the latest version of the Masters Mod. There have been a small handful of bug fixes, but the big news is: TWO NEW MASTERS TRAITS!

The SW Masters trait adds Star Wars tech, and the Force masters adds powerful Jedi & Sith techs, and Force powers.

I've also added Atrocities's fabulous Imperial and Rebel ship sets. Their AI has been fully customized to use the new traits.

-------------------------------------------------------

SW Masters
Your race has mastered technology found in the Star Wars universe. Early tech levels give you access to SW-style fighters and weapons. Put down any rebellion with your Star Destroyer hulls, or dominate the end-game by researching devastating superweapons.

* Turbolaser Battery

* Laser Cannon
* Point Defense Blaster
* Light, Medium, Heavy Star Destroyer
* Light, Medium, Heavy Super Star Destroyer
* Concussion Missile

* Superlaser
* Death Star
* World Devastator
* Suncrusher Torpedo

Force Masters
Your race has mastered the study and use of the Force, and energy field generated by all living things. Fill the galaxy with fear with the powers of the Dark Side, or protect the innocent with the powers of Light.

* Force Sensitive
* Force Temple
* Battle Meditation Chamber
* Jedi Sage
* Jedi Sentinel
* Jedi Guardian
* Jedi Master
* Jedi Temple

Hey, DarkAnt has an idea for another masters trait...
drumroll please...
UrQuan Masters!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

I'd be willing to do UrQuan Masters if anyone knows of a reference website that describes their technology.

It seems as if the Masters Mod is gradually turning into a sci-fi crossover mod. It's not what I originally intended, but it certainly is fun to play. What would you guys say if I dispersed the X-over techs into more Masters-style traits instead of SW and Trek traits?

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

Just tossing out some ideas:

Time Masters - users of temporal sciences to alter and affect the universe

Artifact Masters - Builders of great artifacts throughout space

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

Intel Masters - gets to use more, fancier intel projects!

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

Now THAT sounds like a winner !

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

Intel Masters - Believe it or not, but I've actually been tossing this one around as another possible Master trait.

Time Masters - This would probably be better as simply an addition to the standard Temporal Knowledge rasial trait.

Artifact Masters - Isn't this the Megascale Masters?

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

For the intel masters, maybe they could get some intel that only normally occurs as events??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

Artifacts sounds more like wierd stuff to me.

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

How about this?
Demolition Masters - Race is adept at blowing things up. They get advanced mine hulls (such as Mini Mines which carry only 1 warhead but are available very early on and Space Demolition Packs which can carry lots of warheads), warheads (for ships, fighters, mines, and drones, and of a variety of damage types!), and resource recycler facilities (perhaps a starting 50% scrap rate facility, and mobile scrap yard components when Resource Manipulation is researched?)

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

Ahh! There's another one I already have notes for. Do you guys have the psychic racial trait?

Demolition Masters should get planet and star destroyers faster too. Boom!

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

How is this mod? It sounds interesting, but I can't play it anyway until I get my computer fixed. But I can sure download it. Maybe I'll d/l it anyway, as soon as I can get a cd formatted.

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

This mod is one of my favorites. I've played it several times and never had a dull moment. The Masters traits really make it original.

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

Well, I think it's pretty cool http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with you
 

Can't wait to play it.
