Updating the Gold-D-2 Mod Soon
 

Just a little tease for what I'm playtesting right now...

Advanced PDC tech (skips shields and armor)

MAUW Weapons (Manually Activated Unit Weapons, beams, missiles and fighter weapons that target seekers, drones, fighters and sats).

Escort Carrier reduced to 30% ftr bay required vs 50%.

External mounted missiles ranges extended and targets for drones/sats added.

Various weapons retargeted....(should Torps be able to hit sats/drones...anyone....??).

Machine shop replaced with massive shipyard for space going ships.

Retro Mounts (bigger and cheaper/less damaging components and weapons).

Decoy Drone (1-2 speed missile with massive structure to soak up PDC fire).

Points Generation Abilities:

Base Research Components
Base Intell Components
Sats-Weather (organic)
Rad (radioactives)
Mining (mineral)
Ship Research Comp
Ship Intell Comp
Testing Ship Factories/Hydroponics for useability....might limit 1/2 ship.

Warheads....plague drones anyone??

AI scripts re-done/updated (various)
Added AI's for :Fazrah
Gamilon
Manticore (pending permission)



Plus other stuff I've forgotten..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Could you add an AI-only tech requirement to the AI mounts? It is a little irritating to see the AI mounts mocking me whenever I make a new ship. I actually did this myself in a tweak of the D-2 mod that I have been tinkering with. I could actually send you the relevant files if you would like. It might save you some time.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">well, depends on if they manuever and how accurate your torpedo's are.

Rex, you are welcome to send any of your ideas and suggestions to me. Always good to have a fresh set of eyes look over a mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

spider bots might get your email if you leave it like that.

or so i've heard.

Re: Updating the Gold-D-2 Mod Soon
 

There is no might about it. But since it is a hotmail address, it is already spam fodder, so it probably will make no difference. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Updating the Gold-D-2 Mod Soon
 

I'd think torpedoes should be able to hit satellites... they might be small, but they *are* stationary targets, and torpedoes generally have a proximity fuse http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Not sure about drones, though...

Re: Updating the Gold-D-2 Mod Soon
 

Actually... satellites are pretty big. They are like miniature, automated space stations, afterall. These are not at all like modern day communications satellites. If they were, you would not be able to mount large ship-class weapons systems on them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif If you ever watched Babylon 5, think of those defense satellites in orbit of Earth. They are relatively massive structures, much, much larger than fighters, equal in size to a lot of ships.

Any news about this update? If you have actually updated the mod Deathstalker, feel free to mock me. (I would check on PBW before bumping this thread, but it isn't quite possible for now. *Shrugs*)

Re: Updating the Gold-D-2 Mod Soon
 

Any news on this D-2 mode, Deathstalker http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ?.Can you post whats new on your mod.

Re: Updating the Gold-D-2 Mod Soon
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes!

Re: Updating the Gold-D-2 Mod Soon
 

Ok, here is the deal. Going to be a bit till this thing is updated. I seem to have a file corruption problem (or something like that). The files will not upload to the pbw site nor will they work as an attachment in hotmail (the action just times out in both options). Worst case scenario I might have to re-download my own modd and add in the new stuff manually http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

As for new stuff added:

"Advanced PDC tech (skips shields and armor)
