Default Re: Anyone read Honor Harrington?

Jason,

The Honor Harrington series is excellent, and someone a while ago did say that they planned on doing an HH mod. I wish them luck... the HH universe does not map well to the SE IV engine, and never will. Still, you could do something with a somewhat similar flavor.

Despite that, the idea of "limited" warp points is interesting. In HH the warp points were actually a sort of rare occurance, which is what made Baselisk so strategically important. Most ships going from system to system travelled through hyper, but not through a warp point. The warp points created avenues with MUCH faster throughput (eg, reduced time through either end to a limited set of destinations, like SE IV warp points).

The next time I send a bug report to Malfador I'll put in a request to have an option for Warp Points to have "transfer limits" like the satellite and mine laying bays do now. Neat idea.

John
