[CombatSquirrel]

S_J,

Please do include some smaller weapons for racial and cross-over techs.

SJ's ToDo list for P&N PBW:
- add no-ai files
- add TDM formations
- recheck weapons for unit mounting.
- large drives!
- ruins & racial crossovers
- Major training facilities are spaceborne.
X small racial armors.
- Totally redo weapons.
X Gun Nuts -200 kt to mount requirements.
- Redo mines & sweeping system
- Training facilities only on maintenance-bearing bases. Cost scales as max% cubed or so. Max training fairly unlimited, but to double the training, you pay roughly 8x as much in maintenance.

One thing I don't understand about a lot of mods is this desire to create massive ships and engines etc. I would prefer to see a more varied array of smaller ships, perhaps combined with some interesting mounts - especially for a P&N!

Well, we have Carrier type hulls, Transport type hulls, Colony stype hulls,a dn the generic "Warship" type hulls.

What other type could you come up with, that's not based on installing a single specific component ... ?

Well, P&N does encourage a wider variety of small ships.
I didn't add many new hulls, but the game settings do encourage it.

Eg: Speed 12 Escorts used as scout ships in the first turns.
Due to QNP, small ships are almost as effective as larger ships in combat, so warships tend to be smaller longer.
QNP also allows for variety of balanced designs; fast interceptors, lumbering assault ships, heavily shielded fortresses.

It seems that with the new update I miss a lot of images. What happened?

You may need to download and install the Image Mod (which is linked in my sig).

thx, that hit the problem exactly!

[Matryx]

SJ, will there ever be anything that can be built from "Rube Goldberg Designs" or is it just to make sure players don't *always* get anything useable from a tech stash?
