Anyone up to making a B5 tech mod?

[Phoenix-D]

Or just flip the tech cost up to High..
or both.

I meant if slow tech was still too fast.

I'm begining to think that I'll leave shields in but just make them very expensive. I'll increase research and resource cost.

Just remember to keep the shields at the tiptop of the tech tree, and fairly weak per KT space.

Just cause they're expensive dosen't prevent someone from putting them on maintenance-free units, making them stronger than ships!

Their was no shields in BAB5 from what I can remember.

Lots of Armor. And a better physics system.

( designing a star wars universe no nebulas )

You could do some really neat point defence enhancements.

And the troop pods should be good.

Like the idea with the shadows (and vorlons ) having their own techs.

Good point. I think I just might have shields only in Vorlon and Shadows tech trees.

actually, there was not 'lots' of armor, it was fairly easy to penetrate. perhaps components should be more durable tho.. something akin to thr P&N quality system would be perfect.


what they did have were interceptors, or point defense guns that shot down not only seekers but projectile weapons. and most of the 'bLaster' (starwars) type weapons seemed to be able to be shot down by interceptors. thats partly why beam weapons kicked so much *** in B5 (i think), because you could not shoot them down.

perhaps this could be simulated by making projectile weapons very fast (speed equal to range) seekers with low (1) hitpoints, and interceptors range 1 or 2 point def that dows low (1) damage. and beam weapons very large so as only to fit on capital ships.

I think that that these features would definitly give the b5 mod a 'unique' play experience, anybody like the idea?
