Mini-Mod Ideas for 1.1
#1
Posted 21 December 2008 - 03:41 PM
Here, perhaps we can think of some things to change or add or whatnot for 1.1, or adapt the original mini-mods for the new release.
Or at least list them out so we don't forget something. (My ulterior motive here.)
For example, I plan on making:
Shields non-bypassable (Upping those weapons by 25% in power),
Upgrade fighters spawned at platforms, maybe at space stations (Depending on what PR did, not as detailed as what Muneyoshi did),
"Carrier" ships getting better, faster fighter spawns,
Possible artificial limits for numbers of dreadnought-size ships.

Obviously everyone has their own preferences when playing the game, so there will be lots of mini-mods.

Talking of which - you have reminded me of an idea I need to discuss with PR.
Thanks!

-higher tech units won't make lower ones obsolete, only give more tactical flexibility
-feeling of beeing part of GFFA
This saying, I'll mostly cut some units (yep, artillery again ) and adjust garrisons and company sizes (for example, increase inf unit sizes - and increase their cost accordingly). For the eventual second release, I might consider adding some troops (wookies, mon calamari, imperial army troopers), and most likely mix some troops to help AI (example rebel inf+rebel plex)

My idea on that was to create companies, which mix different types of units. This would probably make land a lot more interesting. I disagree on artillery, but I can fix that on my own.I, for one, almost have mod in development PR 1.1 Land Combat mod. While I, for one, dislike land battles, it would be a waste of Ghost effort to give up all those changes he has made for pirates. I want to keep land part in coherency with 2 biggest advantages of PR:
-higher tech units won't make lower ones obsolete, only give more tactical flexibility
-feeling of beeing part of GFFA

I really wanted mixed companies for this mod, especially for the criminals and gangs, but there simply wasn't time.
Still, you should like the changes so far. Keep an eye out for today's post.....

I will work on my planet ships mod mod... It is not dead I have been waiting for 1.1 to start work on it again but I may have to start a new thread.
"Welcome to the jolly old death star."
"Vader gets the plesure of killing someone while we get to stay among the living. Private Perkins overhere has been stranged over 30 times haven't you Perkins." "Good man."

At some point I probably introduce them. I already have master list prepared, so now only editing - and this should do After initial release I plan to introduce companies, tooMy idea on that was to create companies, which mix different types of units.

Er... your welcome Ghost. I don't know what I did, but your welcome.
Btw, I'm kinda guessing that every xml file has been changed?

I'd love to do a maintenance mod except for one little thing... I haven't the slightest clue what the values should be. I certainly couldn't come up with the kind of detailed stuff discussed in that thread.

Sorry - i had to put my welcome to campaign comment somewhere - It's due to be a sticky post for all the questions we expect about the GFFA and sub-campaigns.
It's due to be moved elswhere - but I only have permission to drop it in Community suggestions.

Questions:
I'm currently considering the Super Transport Fleet/Escort Carriers, Venator-class, Invincible-class (They're kinda big and pathetic), and Quasar Fire-class as 'Carrier Ships'. Am I missing any?
For the Quasar Fire, Invincible, and Escort Carrier, I plan on giving the max upgraded versions max upgraded fighters. However, that seems over-the-top for the Fleet Carrier and Venator. Thoughts on balance?
I wasn't expecting no starbase complements. I plan on giving each at least a set of tugs and light fighters to scout. Anybody think I should add a bit more? (I'll be increasing cost accordingly.)
I don't really have many sources beyond Wookieepedia, so... Golans are strong enough early on, but upgraded ships can practically ignore them. I was thinking of upgrading their complements as well. What do you think?
I'm also going to mess with the defense satellites built in skirmish space. They're cheap but completely useless. And tiny, too. Seriously, they're something like 1/4 inch big on my screen.

They were bigger than corvettes, which I just found wholly inappropriate. I didn't play with their weaponry though.I'm also going to mess with the defense satellites built in skirmish space.
