so, even though 1.3 is a long ways off, but going to be great regardless of what happens, i think we should have a simple poll of what the fans want the most, in general-isms, and not anything like particular models, so that way the mod staff isnt running around like a decapitated chicken
Performance: streamlining the mod wherever possible or practical so it can run better on some of the older computers, and then from there, the rest of the items can be gone over
We'll have performance improvements to report on as part of the wider 1.3 overhauls. Will report on this later.
Gameplay (campaigns) : while yes, the GC campaigns in the mod are well done, there could be a few more in my opinion
We know. It's always on the list of things to add. Each time we have a mod overhaul it leads to campaign revamps of the existing ones. It's always on the list of wants though.
Gameplay (units/stations/buildings) : more units/stations/buildings to be added/altered. not going to say which ones for this poll.
As always, we have a wish list of what we want to add. There will be something. We never get the whole wish list though....
Gameplay (environment) : adding new maps or backdrops.
Evil bob has done some stunning work here. Lots to talk about.
Gameplay (factions) : ive been thinking about this idea where if it becomes possible, having different factions like adding some of the Warlords as their own separate factions, and similar things of that nature
We actually have a wish list of Warlords and Hutts at the very least. New factions are very challenging from and AI perspective. I'll leave PR to discuss the technical challenges of adding new factions. We want to - but it may not be 1.3 as we have other projects underway at the moment.
Gameplay (mechanics): altering things like how much income a station will give you, or altering the effects of a special power, or build-speeds, etc
Other/Write-in : if you think there's something i missed, let me know and ill include it in the vote.
as always, any questions are welcome, and try to keep it civil
I think you will like the mechanic changes for 1.3. It affects all aspects of the game and the campaigns and has resulted in several months of work for me at least.
