Re: David Weber\'s Honnor series as a Mod?
Two Problems:
1: D. Weber uses a different system for travel in between solar systems. He has warp points, yes, but they are few and far between. Most inter-system travel is direct, by sailing hyper space
2: The way he has shields and such designed is (I think) impossible to implement in SE4 as it stands. The diferent shields for different sides of ships, etc...
And another one: His light attack craft are significantly different than fighters in SE4.
None of these problems are total impossibilites, but it will give it quite a different flavor than Honor Harrington novels.
As a side note, Weber's other books, Insurrection, Crusade, and In Death Ground are all based off the Starfire board game system, and Starfire was one of the main inspirations for the SE series, according to Malfador. Many of the mods I have done in the mods section are an attempt to get a Starfire flavor even more intense in SE4. For example, external missile racks, heavy bombardment missiles, etc...
