New Names for New races
 

Races have been added in a number of Mods,
But how about some ideas on New Names and New types of races (racial traits, etc.) that everyone would like to see added to game

Just some ideas Mac

Gotta have pirates and some type of space monsters. The space monsters could be the race that EVERYONE hates.

Racial traits eh? Well Nano-Tech has been tried in a mod. Worked ok if a bit too powerful. Here is some of my ideas: Truely organic (all ships etc are truely alive), Harmonic race (sound wave weapons), Phased race (all tech slightly out of phase, ie. cloaks and shield piercing weapons abound http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif), Undead (we need space zombies, working on this race myself but they would be fun), Mystical race (think b5 Technomages), Military Trait (use 'trained crew componants', 'command Posts' that enhance ground combat, REAL boarding parties and Transporters for them etc.). Maybe expand the religious tech to include worshipping different gods(war, peace, science etc.)
Well, just thoughts.......

Here's another trait for you:
Immortality

Re: New Names for New races
 

In the mod I'm currently working on, I have all the original "special tech traits" (Except for religious, and I did/am adding Organic SHIPS and basic componets), in addition I have my own Version of Nano-Tech, Dimensional Manipulation, Gravitiy Manipulation (many Grav type componets have been improved and added here plus new ones (Anti-Grav Pack for Infantry, Inertialess drive, etc.) as well as World-Building trait (you must now have to build planets/ringworlds/sphereworlds/and I'm working on a couple more (Double world & Asteroid Colony)).

Re: New Names for New races
 

Some good ideas here, how about the following

Name - Mel-Nath (The Hunters)
AI Race (Robotic)
Hates all Organic Life Forms believes they are the highest order in Univers
Atmosphere - None (can live anywhere)
Harmonic - Sound Wave weapons & Tech
Extreme Xenophobic
Extreme Aggressivness
High Research
High Intel
Militaristic
Extreme Expansionists
Diplomacy - 5%
Polictical - 0
Cunning - Above average
Computers - high
Not affected by plagues
Affected by Computer Viruses
either glazes planets or depopulates pop and replaces with their pop

What do you guys think

Just some ideas Mac

Lemmy, even tho you can't hear sound in space
(supposedly) sound waves do carry and go thru space, look at our radio transmissions that go out into space as well as Messages that various countries have sent out..

For a new weapon tech, if worked on could be a good addition.

Also how about a Race of Warrior Monks?, extreme Religious Fanatics, hate all other Religious Races?

radio transmissions are electronic waves, like light, IIRC from my physichs classes and sound is basicly a pressure change in the air, since there is no air in space you can't hear anything...
to sum it up, radio-transmissions are like light, only on a different frequency, and sound...well, that's just sound http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

but this is way off-topic, sorry about that http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New Names for New races
 

Radio waves are electromagnetic, with a longer wavelength than infrared. You need a radio to "convert" them back into sound.
