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

[Andrés]

Nothing new since my Last post.
I didn't upload the files I was talking about.
Now I can't login with my FTP program an I'm waiting for an answe from host.

In the meantime, jimbob can you post or send me the data files for your astromech droids?
I'll see if they fit with the other techs and include them.

Ok, here are the droids as I've made 'em. I made the attack bonuses to match the P&N mod, so they might need some balancing for the Sci-Fi mod [edit - plus they are designed for a QN movement system]. The droids replace cockpit, because the pilot will still need air etc. Finally, I introduced the tech area "miniaturization" as a pre-requisite. Critique and mod away!

In addition to the astromech droids, how about introducing fully automated fighters (a la Episode One). I've got a few tiny fighters made up, and I'm hoping to test them in P&N v.2.6. They seem to be pretty balanced, and would make excellent droid fighters (IMHO ).

If you'd like, I'll email them or post them here.

[Andrés]

I'm not completely convinced with your R2s but you gave some ideas.
I was planning to add droidfighters with the Trade Federation techs.

[jimbob]

Regarding the R2s, I wanted to add a short term boost to movement, as occurred in the "trench run" on the death star (Episode iv I guess).

Do you not like the movement as combat movement, or is there too much combat movement added?

Unfortunately combat movement bonuses are not stackable, so I made the R2s to put out a significant amount of movement points to make up for the fact that afterburners would have no additional affect.

I was planning to add droidfighters with the Trade Federation techs.

Good! Are you going to make a fighter class that has no cockpit and/or life support requirement, or go the fighter sized master computer route?

I've uploaded some of the files.

Andrés,
Yout site only has the "data" and graphics files, but not the races/sets nor sounds.
Do you have hosting problems - no space left ?
