Skirmish Mode Suggestion

27 January 2008 - 12:43 AM

First off, WAY-TO-GO! Great mod, very nice to see some serious looking, more canonical (is that a word?) ships in this mod!

My suggestion for Skirmish mode is real simple, though I dunno if it can be done w/o source codes. :(

Could you make Skirmish mode, for space, like "Combat Mission"? If you haven't played that one it's simple to explain, each player gets a set amount of money/credits, makes all their purchases before the battle begins (without knowing what their enemy bought), then the fight begins and forces are deployed. For EaW I guess you'd just select one of the things you bought to be the lead ship out of hyperspace and your re-enforcement pool would consist of the rest. The amount of credits each side gets would be set by the host. We might actually see an SSD in skirmish this way too. Like CM, the list to buy from could include everything from that faction, with different upgrades simply costing different amounts (heroes and their particular upgrades could work the same way). Well, wishful thinking anyways.

Oh, and just curious, is it possible to have a larger less cluttered map for space skirmishes? It's probably just my grand ineptitude at starship command, but I actually got an SSD 'stuck' in one of the maps trying to turn the darn thing around. It pierced the border of the map and with no reverse got completely wedged in lol! Luckily it's fighter compliment finished the fight with the enemy's starbase. It was in campaign mode of course, but I think the skirmish maps are the same anyways.

One last question, how do you upgrade Thrawn to the Razor's Kiss? Or is that for version 1.1? Gotta try the best (hopefully) SSD.
