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

[Rambie]

Ship tonnage: We'll have to be careful not to unbalance the game with the ship sizes. This can be leveled somewhat in the weapon damage and fire rates.

Movement: Exactly how would Newtonian work in SE4? I'm not against it, but it seems strange in a turn based game.

See: P&N v2.x. Larger ships take more engines to move the same number of spaces as smaller ships.

But of course you could have different races with different mass to movement ratios. And you could have different ratios at different ship sizes (for non-Newtonian engine types). And you could have different engine types for different races too, resulting in a very complex but niffty multi-genre universe. And that's just the movement points
Finally you can have different components to change the amount of combat speed the ship has. So a race could have incredibly slow but highly manouverable ships! (ie Early Trek. Just the fighters in SWars)

Man, this will be a very cool mod when it's done! (even if the Newtonian movement isn't used of course)

thats a lot of guns

[Andrés]

A lot yes, they are based on that Babylon Trek Wars page I posted a link.
I just copied the values there, we still need to revise them, a calssify by race and order by tech trees. And there are other weapons that mey need to be added.

I'm beginning to code in the racial advantages and the vehicle sizes. I'll post the results once I finish.
I hope that then you can help me fill in the needed techs.

BTW there's someone in the yahooGroups (don't recall name right now) interested in adding Starfire races.
