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

[openair]

the Maintenace droids need balancing!

80% is way too high, a fully loaded DS2 goes from like 210k/turn to like 42k/turn... SSD from 43k to 8k... ESSD from 102k to 21k... <- cheaper then an ISD b4 maintenace droids!

OSD and Golan's can be free, with only the second lvl maintence droids... 50%+50% =100%

i think they should start at like 10% and only go up to 40%-50%... and shouldn't be allowed on bases...

Andres, the mounts seem OK so far. I'd just change their names and descriptions to be closer to the standard SEIV naming scheme. Here's my suggestion :

Dual Ship Mount (instead of 'Ship Dual Mount')
Twin barreled mount which increases damage from the weapon by 2 times. Suffers a -2% accuracy penalty due to lower turret traverse speed. Can only be used on Direct Fire weapons.

all the way down to :

Massive Quad Battery Ship Mount
Massive battery arrangement of quad barreled turrets which increases damage from the weapon by 43.64 times. Suffers a -30% accuracy penalty due to lower turret traverse speed. Can only be used on Direct Fire weapons.

That's it for today, I'll look at scaling, planetary, troop and special mounts tomorrow. Keep up the great work !

PS - The second item might also be "Massive quad barreled turrets in a battery arrangement which increases", etc. It all depends on whether you imagine successive mounts getting more turrets or larger ones.

OK, finished looking at CompEnhancement. Here's my suggestions / comments :

Special Mounts (Suncrusher and Torpedo Sphere) - OK as they are right now, except that, as I said before, they could be moved up the tech tree a bit.

Troop mount - Use the scheme suggested for ship mounts.

Satellite mounts - Same as above. Drop the 'accuracy penalty' bit because it's always 0%.

Planetary mounts - Same as above, with the following descriptions : "Twin barreled", "Four-barreled", "Six-barreled".

Scaling mounts - Use "1% scale component" instead of "1% component scale".

Have I told you how much I like this mod ? Keep up the great work !

Some ideas on imperial troops, something similar can be made with rebels

starting - scout trooper
Construction 1 - stormtrooper
Troops 1 - speederbike - Spacetrooper
Troops 2 - ?
Troops 3 - ?
Walkers 1 - atpt
Walkers 2 - atst
Walkers 3 - atat

starting - Slugthrower Rifle
Construction 1 - BLaster Pistol
Troops 1 - BLaster Rifle
Troop Weapons 1 - Light Repeating BLaster
Troop Weapons 2 + ESW 1 - Heavy Repeating BLaster
Troop Weapons 3 + ESW 3- Light BLaster Cannon
Troop Weapons 3 + ESW 5 - Heavy BLaster Cannon

[Erax]

How about : Army Troopers -> Scout Troopers -> Stormtroopers -> Spacetroopers -> Speederbikes ?

Regarding troop weapons, I like the progression, but how about requiring ESW 1 for bLaster pistols and rifles, then 2 for light and heavy RB ?

Breaking up the fleet to go into hyperspace is standard imperial procedure. It's a shame the AI can't use the hyperdrives.
