Default The "Birth-of-a-new-mod" Thread!

So how about a thread where we can discuss crazy ideas that people had for mods and stuff, and maybe we can match up the people with the cool ideas (like me) with the people who can actually implement them (like SJ)

So here are a few ideas that would be cool to make mods out of...

Starcraft - I know SC is a ground-based RTS but maybe the flavor of the different races could be captured in an SE4 mod... Terrans with their variety of units, Zerg with their mass hordes of cheap organic-based units, and Protoss with their high-tech, heavily shielded but mega-expensive units...

Megaman - Well, this would work just as well with Pokemon anyway but Megaman is more sci-fi and respectable among grown-ups What I had in mind is, what if there were some way to make a system where one type of weapon was ultra-powerful against some type of ship, but not against another? I have no idea how to do this - I thought of maybe something to do with armor/armor piercing and shields/shield piercing but that seems a bit limiting... also anything involving Megaman would have to have the "Now I've got your power!" factor so Boarding Parties would play an important role...

Monopoly - Yes, it sounds crazy, but I was thinking of trying to start a Monopoly game on PBW... the basic idea being that each star system represents a color-group and has planets with the appropriate property names (so the planet Marvin Gardens would be located in the Yellow system, for example), only there would be Deadly Damaging Debris-fields of Doom (tm) that would constrict your path so your tokens (more on that later) would have to survive a battle with the planet... oh wait you just set your strategy to "don't get hurt" and they just hide in the corner and pass on the next turn... SOMETHING needs a rethinking

So feel free to post your ideas here... (oh great I started 3 paragraphs with the word "so" )

Oh, and like the new sig? Captures my contribution to the SE4 community, doesn't it?
