Default Re: DERILICT SHIPS?

Mark, you could do this as a scenario. THis is exactly what I did in my "Awakening" scenario.

It would not be possible to mod this in and have an ai do it randomly. They would build the ships allright, but there is no way to get an ai to destroy itself intentionally.

Plus, if you are going to use raical techs, you have to be careful. Anything that is racial tech the player cannot repair, and they cannot retrofit it without removing all the racial techs. If you use a non-standard hull they can't retrofit it at all. SO if you make racial tech engines that are destroyed on use and a racial tech hull, it will be useless. They could move a space yard ship to the same sector and scrap it for raw materials, but that's it. Well, they could anaylyze it instead, but any racial tech will not be analyzable.
