...but if it's balanced correctly, it isn't ubertech...

Re: Massive Mod under construction
Yes shiny weapons are a problem. I spent ages trying to balance mounted railguns in a mod. On the one hand they were clearly far too powerful at the high end, on the other hand I wanted them to uber and shiny just because it sounded cool.
A dreadnought mounting 16" railguns blasting huge ship killer rails! BLAM!!

Re: Massive Mod under construction
Regarding mounts:
- Do Not try to use a stock-like mount system. You'll get uber-ed into the ground. IMO stock is a bit more fun if you simply delete the mounts.
- Have some tradeoffs. Give the bigger guns a bit more damage/kt, but decrease their accuracy and increase the price/kt. Increase range, at the cost of damage. Decrease damage for a significant price drop.
- Don't forget missiles. Although you can't change the actual missile's stats or range, you can make the launcher pre-fire missiles by extending its range, or hold-fire by decreasing range so the enemy can't run away after the missile is launched.
- Mounts are not just for weapons anymore! Component quality mounts can give you some variety in your internals hitpoints/cost/size. Supply use can be adjusted on your engines and cloaking devices. Use mounts to make fighter bays cheaper on carrier hulls. Make cargo components smaller/cheaper on transport hulls. Make colony modules smaller/cheaper on colony ships.

Re: Massive Mod under construction
I agree with you, but what is the requirement for Applied Science Fiction Lore.
However, I think it is a good idea!

Re: Massive Mod under construction
You need to know the principles of sci-fi, and what is canon before you can design a weapon to destroy everything that dosent fit

Re: Massive Mod under construction
Every computer (with WinXP at least) can compress to .zip format, and if you make a quick visit to rarlab.com you can download WinRAR and compress into much more efficient .rar format. Almost everybody on this forum has a RAR extractor, so you needn't worry there.

Re: Massive Mod under construction
I have a big problem with the comps families, which I must fully remake to get results!
