Re: I design shipsets(Lexx mod planned)
an IM conversation about this with Kodos
Jsnk84: what do you think of this:
I imagine a mod where players get one stupid powerful ship, that carries a bunch of stuff on it and they fly around the galaxy warp point to warp point, encountering "neutrals" from the TV show, the only other empire is mantrid and his Drone arms ,equiped with planet destroying weapons. Lexx would have to eat asteroids and planets to live and is equipped with lots of "moths" and his planet killing particle weapon.
Lord Kodos: -Was never a Lexx fan.
That would work as a Scenario but it couldent be a mod. Sadly we cant define a players starting ships..
Lord Kodos: However, an SF mod...
Jsnk84: SF? Perhaps we can make the first turn and the starting planat the "cluster" a planet capable of producing the lexx in one turn through hyped up starting tech.
Lord Kodos: SF=Star Fury
Jsnk84: Ahh, your right.
Lord Kodos: The only thing I could suggest for allowing the player a single ship would be...
Disable resource generation, and make the player start out with JUST enough money to build the Lexx.
Lord Kodos: Of course you would have to make AI ships be slow to build and costly. Otherwise the AI would still overwhelm you simply by sheer numbers.
Jsnk84: that's the point, you've never seen the mantrid episodes of lexx have you? I'd just have to make lexx faster than the mantrid drones, that's what happens in the series, they constantly get overwhelmed by the mantrid drones, only surviving by running to the center of the galaxy. Your right, this would only work as a scenario.
Jsnk84: lexx does get to produce their own 790 drones once they capture a mantrid drone. is itpossible to have two items in the same tech area so that one side can't access that tech.they capture a Mantrid Drone and scrap and analize it and learn to make 790 drones
Lord Kodos: BTW: avout what you said with the Drones you CAN do it....i think..
Lord Kodos: Im not sure. I dont analyze stuff often(i usually play high-tech games, and seeing as how Vectorians are kick *** in research, im the one whos usually more advanced) so im not sure how it wortks exactly.
Lord Kodos: For example, you be able to make the drone take 2 techs for the Mantrids to make. And when the Lexx analyze one they get one tech plus another they had to start with and then can build them...get it ^_^?
Jsnk84: I think.....O_o;
