Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List
Don't know if any of this has been said. I am not through all 22 pages of Posts yet.
My biggest single wish for SEV would be to make the AI more moddable. The best solution IMO would be to have an AI scripting language. If-then, while, case/switch, etc. This would allow people to improve any and all aspects of the AI.
I also like the ability to use equations in the mod files as others have mentioned. Armor weights 1/20 hull size, protection provided equals 2 times hull size, etc.
Make as few hardcoded elements as possible, and fully document the rules of hardcoded things. For instance, does anyone really know when the AI switches to each AI state?
Map Editor: Copy and Paste in the map editor. I want to copy this system from this map and paste it onto a different map (or paste planets, storms, etc.). Drag and drop would also be nice. Ability to rotate a system map by 90 degree increments could useful as well. If I give all the info for both sides of a warp point, can't the system generate the other side?
