I forget, does the program beep at you when the computer is done processing? I don't think it does. If not, then that's my nomination for super-trivial hard-code change. It would allow people to play SEIV all night, and still get in some sleep while the AI moves are processed.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Re: Most bang-for-the-buck hard code changes
 

In regards to AI, I'm not a programer so please excuse me if this is a stupid question. Would it be possible to program a Random AI in order to make it more unpredictable then it is when it comes to some aspects of the game. Also larger AI fleets in the original un-modded game. I've seen some large fleets but they soon break up into smaller ones once they come into a system and attack piece meal. and definitly use troops to invade, not every planet, but at least some of them with the possibility of a tactical ground combat system and screen where you actually fight similiar to space combat

I hope in regards to Random AI everyone understands what I mean

just some ideas mac

Re: Most bang-for-the-buck hard code changes
 

Forgot another couple of ideas:

Instead of "Skips Armor" for shard cannons and such, how about "Does Quadruple Damage to Armor", or a weapon capable of doing such.

An older idea that I've mentioned is modifying component enhancement to work with seekers, and the ability to modify reload time for a particular weapon mount.

Also, is range hard-coded to a maximum of 20?

bump!

Wow... long time since I used this. Amazed I remember my password.

Anyways...

With the MEE things. Make it ranged as suggested between xx - yy values and allow it to be custom set for each race.

Not all races will agree on what a MEE is... thus at different times each race will consider you MEE and will stop diplomacy with you and urge others to do the same. Sort of a staggered MEE.
