It\'s Coming!!!
 

The Evolution Mod

Comming soon to a mod community near you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This mod is based on the evolutionary process that an empire would go through. Basically, instead of starting with ship tech, you start with an aerofighter. You have to research to unlock ship tech. Also their are some new ship sizes and tech areas.

cool

Fyron and I always talked about a mod that started like this... We wanted to have the whole game go through different stages... 1 your planet , 2 your system , 3 discover worm holes....

cool... look forward to seeing your Version of the none space ship start

Re: It\'s Coming!!!

Sounds good! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: It\'s Coming!!!
 

One item you might consider is to 'cloak' the wormholes naturally, so that a race would require at least some sort of sensor level before they could see and use them.

Can orders like explore or randomly clicking on places with the warp order overcome this?

Currently, I am working on reworking the weapons tech. Does anybody have any weapon ideas that they would like to see????

EDIT:
Here are some weapon types I currently have in the works.
3 missile types ~ regular, fast attack, and assault
Plasma missiles that do more damage.
Something else that i can't remember because I'm not currently at my computer.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">This is impossible. WPs can NEVER be cloaked. They are always visible. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Making them have a black bmp is bad, as it forces tons of clicking around the system edges to locate them... move to orders still traverse the WPs fine, and the AI is unaffected.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Not sure about random clicking, but I think Explore will. I don't think cloaked wormholes will affect AIs, either.

Just thought about this but how do you guys number mod releases? Do you number your first release 1.00 and the others ones in order (1.01 1.02)?
