Well I started work on my Missile Pods and unfortunetly it seems even with out any engines they still get a movement of 1...which I guess could be the ship towing them

Ok well missile pods are nasty I can defenitly see how the opening salvo would be very, very nasty.

Also the drone bitmap seems to fit them well.

SirDarwin, I really recomend reading Webers starfire books. They are just as good as the Honor books. And all his other books too for that matter.

Cool projects guys, can't wait to see the end reults.

Jubala, I'll defenitly take a look at them when I finish Ashes of Victory and Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

I'm hoping this will be a cool little mod when it done. Just a little update, currently I have the generic ship sizes into the game, just don't have stuff like the Mars class and Medusa class. Also I've butchered the tech, componets and facilites. I'm sure there are some other things I'll take out add, but for now its kinda getting there

Currently the largest problem I'm having (now that the missile pod problem is gone, thanks to Phoenix-D is the ability to "lower" the ability to custom design the ships, I mean BuShips wouldn't like you messing around with their designs

If I could ask a favour from some of you; I want to start designing the ships, so I was wondering if people could re-read/glance through one of the books, looking for anywhere where it talks about the armaments of a ship. Currently I'm re-reading "The Short Victorous War", so if others could just leave which book they woulldn't mind doing...thanks a lot anyone who helps out!

Ok I need a suggestion from you guys. After visting the two webpages listed previously I've started adding the ships. Now since I don't want people to be able to modify the ships (you can of course modify this later) do you think it would be better to list all Destroyers as "Destroyer", or to give them class names? (with a list given out as well).

Right now you get like 5 Destroyer in your list

I think you'll have to make sizes for each major class.. remember, for example, that the Mars class is bigger than most pre-war battlecrusiers.
