Captain Kwok's Space Empires Nova

It does indeed look very promising.

Awesome, can't wait. Really like the ideas of expanded weapons , more components, and less retrofitting.

Edit: Just a quick question, any plan on using these dmg types, assuming they are workable (since BM doesn't seem to use any of them, that I have seen anyway). Timed Control Loss, Slow Down, Energy Transfer, and Shield Implosion

Those are used in the Balance Mod. Check the Components file to see which weapons use them. Some are ruins, others are racial weapons.

Ahhh, so are actual weapons in combat able to use these effects then?

Yes. To answer your previous question specifically, the abilities you listed are used with these weapons:

Time Control Loss - Psychic Whiplash (Psychic)
Slow Down - Hyperdense Globule (Organic)
Energy Transfer - Crystalline Siphon (Crystalline)
Shield Implosion - Shield Imploder (Ruins)

One thing I always thought would be neat, is some type of cross racial technologies.
For example, if you managed to get Phsychic and Organic Traits, after researching far enough, a new Tree could open up, with weapons and facilities that utilized both traits.

Another possible suggestion, making a tech tree that utlized more archaic components, beyond the basic armors and projectile/missle weapons.

[Fyron]

Like P&N and Devnull did for SE4? Or full-blown tech trees?

[Captain Kwok]

I don't want to drop things as slow as PvK's Proportions mod, just to curb the expansion rate a bit. I'll be focusing on smaller things, like reduced population modifiers and supplementary facilities to boost production rates.
