Re: New PBW Proportions Mod game #4
I'm still play-testing the rebalance on fighters and weapon platforms, but it's close to ready. 3.07 is 3.05 plus some fixes, a few additions (the probes and Q-ships in 3.06), and rebalance of fighters (now they are definitely worth developing) and weapon platforms (no longer especially accurate, so planets full of WP's aren't so deadly and expensive/difficult to capture unless you're at a bad combat mod disadvantage).
Actually, I should take a vote about another issue: Intelligence missions. I'm thinking of making a major change that I wanted to try for a long time. Essentially, I've noticed that it's either strong or a non-issue because people build tons of counter-intel and don't use it much. So, my idea is: 1) Make it possible to slow down, but make intel offense essentially stronger than defense. 2) Basically remove or make way too expensive the destructive intel attacks. Result: Intel is useful, but mainly only to actually gather information and is not usable as a way to get major attack results. Anyone have any strong feelings about such an intel change? |
Re: New PBW Proportions Mod game #4
I like it... instead of intel being a "spy vs. spy" game where nothing really happens until all hell breaks loose when one side gains the upper hand, it would be more of a constant stream of information - you can block some of it but inevitably something's gonna slip through!

Re: New PBW Proportions Mod game #4
Yeah, that's an interesting approach to intel that should be explored.
I'm assuming there won't be any AIs in the pvkprop#4, so AI improvements aren't high on the priority list for 3.07 - or do I assume wrong? |
Re: New PBW Proportions Mod game #4
Yes, major AI improvement isn't for 3.07, but I am feeling some interest at the moment in making another stab at reviving it from it's post-3.0 stupor. I'll save that for post-3.07 though.

Re: New PBW Proportions Mod game #4
Update: 3.06 (probes, Q-ships, fixes) is done and (formerly 3.0.7, now:) 3.1.0 (fighter & WP rebalance) is nearly done. Next will be (formerly 3.0.8, now:) 3.2.0 (Intel reworking), which I've started to test and looks like it will work well, but needs more work.

Re: New PBW Proportions Mod game #4
could you post 3.0.7 or is it up to 3.0.8 for us that don't PBM please.
|
Re: New PBW Proportions Mod game #4
how does the AI handles 3.0.8? is it worth for the single player?
I ask because while i love SEIV and play it constantly i only can play it single player since my work schedule is extremely random (sometimes i can play a dozen turns a day, other times i´m traveling and only can play every week or so...) |
