Capship Mod

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Thank you, Kerensky... and as for the full version, I think that 1.00 will be human player ONLY. Maybe it won't be, but I doubt it. In the end, I hope to have a totally different gameplay experience, with very little stock comps left.

That's my intention. I'm creating an SLV - that's Single-use Launch Vehicle if you didn't know. In other words, a plain old space rocket. And those don't get used twice. So I used a drone for the SLV to assure its disappearance.

edit/add: And I'm using fighters as RLVs - Reusable Launch Vehicles, i.e. space shuttles. Ships will come later as solar sail craft, sleeper ships etc.

Btw, the idea for Realism was originally devised as a part of Capship. Perhaps later I'll combine the two - so you'll start out with Orbital SLVs and later fly COMCAs and perhaps even DCOMCAs between star systems.

edit 2: This means that I'll be working on two mods at a time now - though Realism will go faster. This means that playable/testable uploads will be few and far between. Do not expect any new versions of either mod anytime soon, unless I choose to upload a very preliminary version of Realism for a first look or problem finding.

Also note that BOTH mods require Image Mod Version 24c. Realism does not use 24c pics yet, but I think it will.

Thank u... PowerArchiver wouldn't store the directory paths... grrr (I place the mod files directly in the source directories. Stupid, I know, but I do it. I've got six or seven or so FULL INSTALLMENTS of SEIV now (among which are P&N and Proportions). Only one was actually installed, but the rest... simply copied from the basic template.)

30 years to build one ship......hmmmm YIKES!

Oh and... is it possible for weapons to have multiple damage types? Like, for an Orbital Thermonuclear Scatterpack ("The Evil Ruler's Best Friend." as taken from the sales folder of the Intergalactic Evil Supermarket, 2413.5 (Intergalactic Evil Supermarket is registered trademark of EvilEmporium, Inc.(EvilEmporium, Inc. is a registered trademark of the Microsoft Corporation.))) you could have normal AND conditions damage type, AND perhaps also a Plague (i.e. radiation sickness). Is that possible?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

but why do ALL facilities generate shields AND regenerate them at the same rate? This way, glassing a homeworld will be IMPOSSIBLE...

[Suicide Junkie]

Shield regen and shields-from-damage don't work on planets.

OK, so I'll split it up.

Something to bear in mind about a leaky armor system, any armor skipping weapons get devalued because they have nothing to skip. However, on the other hand, armor skipping weapons can make a leaky shield system useless because they wind up skipping the shields.
Just a couple points you should know.

WTF?!? Hadn't Urendi Maleldil (or however you spell it) posted here too? I don't see his post anymore!
