What you would like in a Mod

[Puke]

A tricky topic. There are lots of mods that add new features of all sorts, rebalance the game, and pack lots of stuff in. there are a couple that totally change the play style of the game, such as P&N and Porportions. Most of the suggestions below lean toward the "bigger is better, give me more" mentality.

well, those things are hard to make, take a LONG time time and a LARGE number of man hours, and there are already a fair number of them with good support. if people want other odd additions to their P&N or Porportions or Devnull game, or they want to mix and match pieces of other mods into Adamant, then its easy enough to do. I dont think we need to compile a new mod just to satisfy everyones desires for more feature creep.

What I want to seen in a mod, is LESS. A long time ago, Geo had a great mod (dont think it was ever finished) that focused on fighters and drones. capital ship combat was all stand-off, and fighters were of two basic types, space-superiority (anti-fighter / anti-drone / anti-seeker) or bombers (anti-ship / anti-planet). a simple change, down plays or removes alot of the other tech, and totally changes the way the game is played.

Drone Wars (another short, not-quite-polished, Geo Mod) was included on the Gold CD. totally changed the game, simply by removing a bunch of tech areas.

So thats what I want to see more of. Clever ideas that totally change the game. sure, add a few things like scaled mounts or techs from other mods, or incorporate parts of porportions. but dont just make a me-too here-are-a-dozzen-new-tech-areas-and-a-bag-of-chips kind of mod.

think small. think simple. think one or two good ideas that change the game, and dont add in a bunch of other stuff.
