I was just reading the thread about a PBW game based on David Weber's Starfire universe and was wondering if anyone had considered making a mod based his other space opera universe. I am sure that modeling the wedges would be almost impossible but can you imagine two walls of ships of the line having at each other like the wooden ships of the Age of Sail? How about re-creating the naval battles of WW1 in space?

Yes, it would be tough to model the 'Wall of Battle' of the HH novels, but the 'feel' of the tech base and whatnot is really not beyond the realm of possibility. I had a mod from long ago that attempted to do so and was fairly close.

It de-emphasized research and emphasized ship size/weapons interactions. The AI couldnt handle it at all and I eventually gave up on it, but the basis of the ideas are what I posted in the 'Art of War' mod thread.

I don't recall seeing that thread. I'd like to play a Starfire game. Can you point me to it?

Here's the link. It doesn't have Starfire in the title.

The scenerio is currently full, but I'll be releasing it for public use once I'm done. Runs on a slightly modified Proportions (2.2, once PvK releases that).

As for HH: the hardest point would be the laser-head missiles. The ONLY way to simulate them is to use drones; but you can't aim drones, and they automatticlly fire as fast as they can (lowest is one per turn per launcher).
