Star Wars Mod

[Atrocities]

Thank you BK. The first image is used in EAW. The second is just me muking around a bit trying to flesh out a usable ship set for the pirates.

Once I have the pirates done, I will begin working on the data files. I am conflicted though. I don't know if I should go with a simplified tech tree or one that has many branches.

Simply put, Imperial Tech I - XX. As the tech level increases, the player gains access to new things like ships, weapons, and so on. No choices as to which branch to follow, the tech is progressive and locked.

Or two, branched, this would allow players to select what tech they want to research over other tech.

The pros of a simplified system are that it matches EAW, and Rebellion, is AI friendly, easy to added new tech, and makes the research file very simple. Cons- is that it becomes very predictable, there is no choices made by the player.

Of course a multi branched approach is what most SE IV players are used to and seem to prefer. But it is time consuming to set up, isn't all that AI friendly, and it doesn't really lend itself well to the addition of new tech. (requires modding of many files)
