Im on 2d and Creative Thinker, then ill target their main engines!
Red 12 out

I know a lot about SW. I might be able to help withh the creative side, finding the names of weapons, and techs, etc. I've actually been building a list of weapons and such. Had to make some up, but it follows the same pattern. Example. X-wings have KX-5 Laser Cannons. So I made a KX7 to fit in. I actually plan on making the energy weapons from capital ships the beam weapons in game, starfighter weapons the mass weapons, and then concussion and torpedoes the missile weapons.

I'm also trying to figure out a way to make some kind of maneuverability research that adds defense, since you can't make them harder to hit. The tricky part is getting it so that large ships can't use it.

okay i like the idea of the black sun being neutral but werent they allied to the empire? And i also like the idea of choosing your side early so that you can begin making some of the ships. And if you need some of the names of the fighters and whatnot you should check out: star wars x-wing alliance it's got a lot of many different names and designs for them(some of which i copied in the campiagn so i could have better things). Oh and also some of the black sun fighters could also have some of the other factions ships as well (such as the y-wing) just a thought

I'm a good writer, so if you need text I could do that, i.e. tech descriptions, hints, alien race descriptions. I also know how to spell and punctuate, which matters more than some people think.

Your ideas about ship design being controlled by alignment is good thinking, but doesn't really jive with the Star Wars universe. A Correlian ship is designed the same, regardless of the alignment of its owner. I think ship design should be controlled by manufacturer, who tend to build similar models.

I don't know anything about Black Sun and I've seen all six movies. I think a better neutral alignment are those worlds who are trying to stay out of the conflict for one reason or another. Some are independent worlds not part of the Empire. Some are run by smugglers or gangsters. For whatever reason, they are trying to stay out of the war between Empire and Rebellion.

Perhaps covering all periods of the Star Wars saga is too ambitious to start. Better to concentrate on Episodes IV-VI, the only part of Star Wars that interests most people.

Missile Suggestions: Rockets, Concussion(sp?) missiles, proton torpedoes, Cluster missiles, Super missiles, mega missiles, ultra missiles? oh and for evil side: Force Missiles.

I suppose i could do some xml too.
I have an idea to replace the mass drivers, ion cannons. They could be the weakest but be very hard to defend against. Comments? The defenses for lasers and missiles they have now would still work.

cant we try to make a proton beam for the empires destroyers

IS anyone planning on making or in the process of making Star Wars Hulls? Not just slapping compnents together, but actual models of hulls?

good point with the black sun alligence i forgot all about the betrayel. Also the ion cannons im not sure how that would work but if it can happen it would make it far more enjoyable. Say (y-wings have them) a y-wing attacks an isd and disables it which would allow you to capture it would that mean an army of y-wings could take down an empire one ship at a time and attack WITH those ships its just crazy

I don't have many skills, but I do know a lot about the New Republic and Galactic Alliance eras, so I can help with straightening out facts, creative thinking, and eventually testing. I can also help with the in-game texts, like diplomatic responses and alien greetings. Because I am going on holiday tomorrow, I may be out of touch for a few days, so e-mail at djh05@hotmail.com if you would like my help.

I like the idea of multiple ethics choices. You could actually change the course of the galaxy at that point. Well, keep in mind, we can create ten races, and use Faction names as Good, Evil, Neutral.

You've got the Bothans, Mon Cals, Wookies, Hutts, etc for major races, and you can do races like the Rodians, Gands, etc as minors.

Nuetral can be Smuggler's Alliance, Bounty Hunter's Guild, Mercenaries Guild, or combo of them. Those that don't like the "good" nature of the Alliance/Republic, but hate the Empire. I myself always picture Nuetral as thinking the good guys don't have the stomach to win, but they still hate the evil ones. And in quite a few books, that is how those groups are portrayed.

The "Race" image and description can involve multiple species. It would just be a faction vs. a race.

multiple requirements is a bit tricky. I think we should just have either quite a few intermediate techs in between, or longer tech times (Which will decrease as you research and build tech facilities). You'd either have to research nothing else while getting the ethics techs, or you'd have to wait until it was a manageable level. And the bonus from that tech might just have to be something inticing .

There was one guy doing a warlords mod who said he had 200+ star wars models, but I can't find any way to contact him. I'd love to get a modeller going with those.

As much as I would love to capture ships, I doubt there is anyway to allow us to capture them. It's just not hard coded into the game. We may have to wait and see if a patch or the expansion gives us the option. As I said before, I've got three weapons tech trees. Starfighter weapons (Small, weaker), Capital ship weapons (Larger, but more powerful), and missile weapons (Missiles, torpedoes). I'd like to find a way to restrict certain components to certain size ships. That would make the starfighters a good choice with capital ships too.

Here's an example of my Capital Weapon Tech Tree:

this one took a bit more creativity to make, as I found less info on these than fighter weapons.

1)Taim & Bak AX5 Laser Cannon
2)Taim & Bak AX8 Laser Cannon
3)Dymek HL-5 Twin Laser Cannon
4)Dymek DL-2 Dual Laser Cannon
5)Dymek LT-6 Triple Laser Cannon
6)Taim & Bak BX8 Quad Laser Cannon
7)Taim & Bak CX3 Light Turbo Laser
8)Taim & Bak CX3a Dual Light Turbo Laser
9)Taim & Bak H9 Turbo Laser
10)Dymek TL-8 Turbo Laser Cannon
11)Dymek TL-10 Heavy Turbo Laser Cannon
12)Dymek TL-X1 Turbo Laser Battery
13)Taim & Bak XX9 Heavy Turbo Laser Battery
14)Taim & Bak XX0 Double Turbo Laser Battery
15)Borstel C-5x Triple Turbo Laser Battery
16)Borstel C-7x Quad Turbo Laser Battery
17)Taim & Bak X10 Twin Heavy Turbo Laser Battery
18)Gyrhil D-8x Dual Heavy Turbo Laser Battery
19)Gyrhil E-0x Triple Heavvy Turbo Laser Battery
20)Gyrhil G-1x Quad Heavy Turbo Laser Battery

I just did a new mod right now and I want to know if somebody likes the idea so:
you are playing in the Empire era and you must have your army of clones, right? you know stormtroopers so I add few techs:
cloning
advenced cloning
intensive cloning
expert clonning
Ultimate Cloning
Supreme Cloning
it gives Clone Facilities (Improvment), Clone Training Center
and it gives you a solidering bonus.
this mod is ready I just need some comments of what you think of that.

Thanks.
