David Weber\'s Universe
I hope to receive SEIV Tuesday or Wednesday (hate ordering something on a Friday just before a 3-day weekend). I'm just starting to look at the downloaded demo but I thought I'd look at the forum for a bit first. There's some really good stuff here.
I haven't seen any topic yet on David Weber's Universe (I'm just reading THE SHIVA OPTION and have read his preceeding novels and really enjoyed his Honor Harrington series as well). This game appears to portray his use of warp points in his novels or am I missing something?
There seems to be a lot of mod work to replicate the Star Wars and Star Trek universes (with Babylon 5 coming up)along with some interesting alien races (except there doesn't seem to be any Starship Troopers' "Bugs" or Weber's "Bugs") with some great graphics but is any of Weber's work in here?
I've only looked at the first page of forum Posts so maybe I've just missed it. Anyone?

Re: David Weber\'s Universe
Use the forum search engine. I recall reading comments on it. I have a half completed Shiva map. I think you could have a bang up weber game but SEIV has techs that renders fighters obsolete or too easy to kill in the latterparts of the game. The Borg may be an option for a bug race. I think the Mod would be Easy to do.

Re: David Weber\'s Universe
Thanks Gozra, I'll give it a try. I just think that with all the sci-fi novels using Arachnids as the enemy that someone would create a mod using some good "Bugs" as the bad guys. I did see a mod using giant ants but no spiders. Guess I can only hope!

Re: David Weber\'s Universe
The fighter thing can be fixed. I've thought about doing a HH mod (drones make it possible), and actually started making a scenerio based on Proportions and Starfire. Abandoned it because it would taken entirely too long to do the way I set it up.
Not sure how you'd make a mod based on Path of the Fury, but that might be fun too

Re: David Weber\'s Universe
There was discussion on Weber's books, Insurrections, In Deaths Ground, and the other 2 in an earlier thread way back but can't remember which one off hand. Definitly a good series, I enjoyed it better then the Harrington Series, Already read the Shiva Option, but I won't tell you how it ends since your still reading it.... excellent series on space combat and new races...

Re: David Weber\'s Universe
The Honor Harrington thread includes a link to another thread about a StarFire mod.

Re: David Weber\'s Universe
coudl someone please explain what this david weber deal is. I sure wish i knew being the umm un-avid sci-fi reader i am. I used to read some but that was in 5-7th grade when anything looked good so i don't have much of a discerning taste anymore.
EDIT: like 20 words ran together
