Re: Tonnage %

Why? Well because (in space), speed is a simple matter of trust/mass... the greater the thrust to mass ratio, the greater the acceleration (as there is no real topspeed in space (well almost, there...

Re: Tonnage %

Mr. Junkie,

I too am a programmer (or I once was), and I do not think it would be that difficult, it would only require a subroutine to determine the componet size/HP/Cost when it reads "%" in the...

Re: Changes to the units

I don't know, I've never had a real problem with building units... then again I don't really use fighters & mines, just troops and weapon plats... and only the weapon plats take time (as they should...

Re: Cloaked Warp Points...

Exactly, a new tech field... "Warp Point Sensors" can be created. All non-neutrals start with level 1(you could mod it to 0 though), which would allow for a componet that sees/uses WP with one...

Target: Ship\\Ftr\\Sat...

I would like to see this new target group (Ship\Ftr\Sat) be "legal". That way you could have a variety of weapons that are good for combat, but are useless for planetary assault (like DUC's).

Damage.txt

One of the games I really enjoied playing/customizing was Dark Reign. They used a Damage.txt file to allow diffrent weapons to affect diffrent armor(+shields in SE4), well... diffrently.

Re: Tonnage %

Deffinatly, armor would be a great way to use tonnage%... It's too easy to mix a few types of armor (i.e, stealth/scattering/emmissive) and get all the bonuses... yet it's diff. to put stealth...

Re: Taking a planet with low-tech?

Planetary napalm is very good! BUT, you need point-defense or you'll be cut down before you get in range!

Re: Cloaked Warp Points...

Good points... didn't think about that!
Perhaps then it would need to be a new ability, and a new componet ability to "see/use hidden warp points)... it could still have a few levels (i.e., you...

No movement required for Bases

Do you think MM should change bases so they don't need "remaining movement" for stellar manipulation componets? (so they could use them!) yes/no

Tonnage %

I would like to see a change in tonnage for componets, where you could add 10%, 20%, etc. instead of an actual finite number (you would still be able to use actual finite tonnage though! This would...

Cloaked Warp Points...

Just an idea, adding cloaking to warp points to make the WP invisable until you get your first sensor. Would force you to build up your home colony before exploration... just a thought. (or only...

Re: Taking a planet with low-tech?

The best way is with a little modification to the componets.txt file...

Re: Life is cheap!

Simply lowering the reproduction rates as it is won't work... because you can't modify the bounus due to happiness/planet conditions. Even if you drop starting reproduction to 1%, it can/will still...

Re: Intergalactic Civil War !!??

Well, or we can have MM change it so that additonal starting planets aren't Homeworlds!
I think that would be easier than creating an entire new class of planet (and would be better I think).
