Devnull mod?

[javaslinger]

I heard a bunch of good stuff about this mod but no specifics...

Anyway, I'm about to join a PBW game using it so I was wondering if someone could give me the jist of what it's all about anyway??

And perhaps some advice on stragies with it?

Thanks,

Ken

Sorry, never played it. Just another mod that I really should get around to giving a test-drive....

Off the top of my head:

-a good dozen or so extra hullsizes, including
--corvette
--tiny carrier (aaw, innit cute?)
--2 new fighter sizes
--superdreadnought
--large colony ship
--low- maintenance mining hulls
--oh... lots more of those

-Revamped weapons.
--external mount missiles (great fun)
--loads more missile classes, in fact.
--POint defence is now broken up into fighter and non-fighter pdc.
--Point defence cannons can now clear mines. (no minesweeper component)

-Whole new tech areas
--monolithic construction
--Engineering (Scotty! Give me more power!)
--Much more of this, too, but my brain doesn't work on a Friday afternoon.

A cool AI that can handle all of these changes.

-Space Monsters
--'nuff said.

I think I'll just shut up and let someone else sell it to you, because I'm not doing a very good job. Anyway, it's great mod. Play it.

Sounds great! Can't wait for the game to start... Everyone join up! Devnull 2 in PBW!

Sooo... What sort of things should I take into consideration when designing my race using it?

Thanks,

Ken

When you design race for devnul, remember of cross-over tech ! For example, Organic+crystall gives you biocrystal armor that regenerates and recharge shields at the same time. Other race combination will give you surprises as well...
