Weapons Balance
 

Is there any other weapon choice next to energy stream weapons ?
Okay PD is important, and Missiles are nice in the early stages of the game, but any other High-Tech-End-Game Weapon just sucks .. i think the game needs major balancing in this area.

I recommend playing a mod or three.

There aren't any mods for SEV except for balance mod (that I know of) yet, and I dont think balance mod adds new stuff, it just makes the stock stuff work the way it should.

Edit: I think. lol http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Um... not really SoD. Actually we have a whole sub-forum for mods and other goodies just for SE5. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
Speaking of which I really need to spend some time updating it.

yeap, i allready tried every mod ( all three or four of them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif even 21st century *g*
so .. i dont like the eco model of CB,
and balance didn't really change the weapons .. but would be a nice candidate to adress this issue ..
i could rant on about the things i would like to change ( i allready thought about making my own mod .. )
but i think i'll do that another time.

Share your thoughts. It could help flesh out ideas for your own mod, or it may affect changes in other mods, or it may get a few other modders on board working with you to make a mod. What is it about the Eco model in CB that you didn't like?

Re: Weapons Balance
 

The balance mod makes most of the weapon groups worthwhile in one way or another.

Re: Weapons Balance
 

To begin with, I like the ship and weapons model very much, but i haven't understood the whole tech tree right now.

But I don't like the economics model its to stuffed with different facilities that do the same.
And there is no good feeling for the operating costs ..

Nice avatar, now you can ask David E. Gervais to give it a polish for you.

I am working on a mod have you looked over that thread? It is still in its beta. Also there a few other problems which; while they don't make it unplayable, are irritating. Those problems are hard coded and will have to wait for a patch.

Or maybe without the rank?

Sir, I Dont Deserve Stripes Yet, Sir !!!


Its funny what you find by searching for Dark Helmet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And I read the thread about your mod ..
like I read most of Kwoks modified Data files.

The economic facilities are quite different from each other...

You've got:
- The inefficient but "free to build and maintain" subsistence ones.
- The cheap, normal facilities that take more investment, but produce more resources by planet value.
- The solar-based facilities which are good in binary or trinary systems.
- The expensive facilities which produce lots by planet value if you can afford them.
- The expensive facilities which produce only moderate amounts, but independent of planet value.
- And some facilities which "burn" one resource to generate another, much like an automatic resource converter.
The Hydrocarbon power plant is a perfect example... burns organics to produce energy/rads.

You can always do what I do....when you find something you want to change, or think of a idea you want in the game...just add it in or change it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
