Fighter Ace (Very, very early-stage stuff)
I had a concept not too long ago to make a WW modification based around the idea that you control solely a fighter (and possibly other fighters), and take out a varied array of ships, including other fighters and capital ships, with your dazzling skills and abilities. I actually then worked some on furthering this idea.
Unfortunately, while looking over the quests, it's dawned on me that I am nowhere near competent enough to get this anywhere near completion in any acceptable amount of time. What are probably the most basic things (such as how to make meeting up with the Muktian corvette ally you with the Muktians, in spite of said corvette not becoming part of your flotilla) elude my understanding. Since I have other projects and ideas for other games to attend to, I can't take the time to learn how to do this properly, so I'm passing the little material I've made on here.
It includes a lot of stuff that's probably excess; the vast majority of things in these folders are unmodified. It is also basically undocumented, unfortunately.
I have made changes to shields. I also boosted the laser beam and impaler rack a bit. My most extensive changes, though, involve the distribution.ini file and Brass/Pirate quest files.
I had an array of ideas but since I don't have either the knowledge to do it or the time to learn it right now, I leave it to anyone who is short on inspiration. Maybe the little I've done will be a seed for something greater. And if not, maybe sometime I can come back to it, in which case this'll be a good backup site.
Either way, win/win.
