Re: Some of my ideas and questions
Hey, thats an ingenious little system their. I like it! Makes "Infantry Units" have some flesh to them (abstractly though). With something like this you can design entire Infantry Divisions with different types of personel and equipment (2 components of infanty, a single unit of artilary, with 1 unit of tank armor).

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
Cloaking infantry does nothing. They are always either in a ship (and require only a long-range scanner to see), or in combat.
What you probably want is a big ECM type bonus. Troops cannot repair. They are either destroyed, or the partial damage is forgotten. |
Re: Some of my ideas and questions
Well i gave them the nomads coponentds because they are pirates/nomads in space that never board ships and you hire them to attack enemy ships ainly they have high defense for their colonyts never make allies
|
Re: Some of my ideas and questions
FYI, I'm gonna switcheroo the Nomads, and remove their resource ships.
This should make them more like what I think you're talking about. They have no resource ships, so they can only remote mine, use the basic production (500 in P&N, 200 normally), capture & scrap ships, or go mercenary. Instead, they'll get the opportunity to use 1% maintenance ships. (Despite the 5% limit http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif) This will be included as a component, so the nomads should be able to use normal hulls at 1% maintenance, and things will be awesome. Note: the nomads will be able to sell/get captured/give these ships to other races, and the others will enjoy the 1% maintenance greatly. Quite a big bargaining chip for a merchant nomad. ------------------ The latest info on Pirates & Nomads (forum thread). -<Download V2.2b>- (Now with EZ-Install, just extract to your SE4 folder) -<Download P&N Classic>- (The final release of P&N v1.x, with EZ-Install, just extract to your SE4 folder) -<Download compatible EMPs for P&N v1.2 through v1.7>- -<Download SJs latest AI Patcher>- Visit My Homepage Other Links: -<Play By Web>- -<Schlock Mercenary>- (great space-based webcartoon) -<First Strip>- -<8-bit Theater>- (fun comic with the pixellated FF1 characters) |

its a 6000 racail trait that gives you acess to a Mobile planet (not to be confused with a 9000KT PLanetoid)this is just a planetoid that has a zero maintanence cost and generates a lot of minerals now you ask what si the downside...no colony ships,so tel me what you think BTW i made my battlesun bigger its now 1,000,000,000 and costs 1,000,000,000 radioactives and 9999 minerals and requires that you have a max tech in ship construction,base construction,Steller manip,Sun utilization. ------------------ Some rule some serve some declare wars some fight them i declare wars i rule you serve you fight wars..... we are not the same..... never forget that.. |

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
i am well aware that bigger is not better the battlesuns for one thing arent as big as they are ounce you have 100 engines to move one space with a limit of 200 engines plus the 100 crew quarters,the 100 life support systems,the fact it has to be built in space,the cost,the research costs and other expenses like the weapon platforms in order to make it hit its a very impractical ship plus since its sooo slow you mainly use these monsters for defense against omnipotent species thats the reason i added them because otherwise you dont stand a chance against omnipotent species unless you get another omnipotent speceis to help you besides after all those rquirements youre better off using 10 planetoids and i made an error the new size and cost is
1,000,000 not 100 million my mistake sorry so all and all its not as unbalenced as you think plus i forgot to mention in my mod i added an empty space system with is just that because every system is not populated so in my mod space travel is Very dangerous and ardious when you consider you are avoiding piragtes,mercanarys,space mosnters,omnipotent species and when you do orrather if you find a planet it may be inhabited by mean primitive aleins so when you send ships out make sure they have a LOT of supplies or elsetheyll join the cosmic wind........ ------------------ Some rule some serve some declare wars some fight them i declare wars i rule you serve you fight wars..... we are not the same..... never forget that.. |

Here's a cool idea for anyone who wants it- mod the standard crew quarters component to have boarding party properties & destroy after use: You can take over another ship from the very beginning of the game, but to do so you have to abandon your own and leave it crippled. Largely pointless, but it could create some interesting situations in the early game. ------------------ "Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

Maybe just slap a -10% attack/defense penalty on master computers (explain it away by saying the computer is slower to react and less tactically adept that human counterparts). Kind of a quick and dirty solution, and I say this assuming the -10 penalty would stack with other attack/defense components on the ship (seems like they would, but I don't know). You could also jack up the tonnage of basic master computers, but that would make the Hal computers less special, and basically just extend the master computer component tree. Giving HAL att/def bonuses would also work, but IMO not quite as well. You could also make Hal equivilent to a 60 odd person security station, since he has already proven his ability to use ship systems to cause human fatalities http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif |

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
For infantry, I'd suggest making a 3KT size troop.
For a bridge/cockpit, you have a generic "person" component. Then you add a 1KT body armor & a 1KT hand weapon. If you want to add racial traits, you can make four-handed weapons that do extra damage, or act as armor (parry). A lightsaber, for example is regularily used to block energy beams Now, imagine instead of a single 3KT guy, you have a whole pack of infantry, say 10,000. that would mean ~300 KG per person of equipment & supplies. So, when you add 1KT of "Kevlar II" to your troop, you are distributing 10,000 vests. With a decent vehicle pic (Landing craft? Rows of marching uniforms? APCs in formation?) you can make it look good. As an option, you can reduce the size to 2KT, and make the infantry weapons or armors be the "cockpit" as well. ------------------ The latest info on Pirates & Nomads (forum thread). -<Download V2.3>- (just extract to your SE4 folder) -<Download P&N Classic>- (The final release of P&N v1.x, just extract to your SE4 folder) -<Download compatible EMPs for P&N v1.2 through v1.7>- -<Download SJs latest AI Patcher>- Visit My Homepage Other Links: -<Play By Web>- -<Schlock Mercenary>- (great space-based webcartoon) -<First Strip>- -<8-bit Theater>- (fun comic with the pixellated FF1 characters) <SE4Code> MpN R*-A RM(L) RP+ TCP- Fq++ FR!++ P?

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
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
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. |
