Star Wars Mod - II (Sci-Fi Xover Mod)

[Andrés]

I'm thinking about the facilities.

It has been pointed before that killing planets and pop is too easy. Some ideas about that were adding planetary shields, increasing power of weapon platforms and increasing hitpoints of pop.
Now IIRC you were considering appliying some of these ideas in the B5 mod, right?

But in starwars killing pop seems to work very similar to SE4.
It's easy to kill all pop using standard weaponry, and if the planet is shielded,bombarding it is completely useless.
Many attack on planets depend on sabotage missions to take down the planetary shields before the attack. Eg Camaas, and even Endor (although the attack wasn't on the planet itself)

But neither Bab5 or Trek have planetary shields.

This is what i was thinking, Bab5 and STrek have some shields as a second ablity in normal facilities, while SWars have special facilities. That way SW planets will be more vulnerable and easy to kill if unshielded but better protected shielded, while still having their "unique" planetary shields.
Putting numbers to all planetary shields would be the ral problem.
