Default Re: PBW Interstellar Storm

I applied the patch, gonna give another go with SP and try to not make so many of the same mistakes. (like not using mounts on ships that could use them.)

now, before i do any major modding of my own, I will check out the modding tutorial in full. I just have a couple of question I want answered before embarking on the endeavor (which will be months down the road).

1> I see they didn't fix the stupid storage setting, so I am going to change that. I think 50,000 is too low for a homeworld, and since you have a game setting option of starting with 100,000 it only makes sence to me to have the planet match that. My question with this, is since I made that change will that have any effect on PBW games. the other setting I might change, is to balance the AI-angry over allied planet setting, and the same question applies to that. OR, would I have to change both of those back to the original settings to play a PBW turn?

2> I really would like to change the "capture ship" general type to something else. I want that component repaired asap, and not wait for every other type of component to fixed first. i was thinking of changing that to general group "miscellaneous" so I could have it prioritized. I would also change security stations for the same reason. IMO, weapons is a poor choice for that unit. The question about that, is will that work, or will it screw everything up. and if it works, same question about PBW as in "1>" above

Adept modders should be able to handle those questions easily.
