Come get your Rock-Paper-Scissors mod!
Great smashing, cutting and wrapping action for all!

Comes with 3 shipsets including the generic one!

PS:
If someone with AI experience could browse through and clean up some of the warnings, that would be great. (They only appear when loading/creating a game, once you clear them, the game runs fine)

[Phoenix-D]

Done. Copied the AI file over and removed all the AI_Research entries. Actually USING an AI won't work, so don't bother and be sure to turn off random AIs.

Here are some extra shipsets for games with more players.

o.... k... ?

Didn't know this was "long-awaited", but it looks interesting.

So is this for a one-night TCP/IP game? It seems silly to do PBW with 24 hour turns or something. Just building ships and ... no, thats it, just building ships. Putting them into fleets, designing fleet and ship strategies, and giving them orders.

So someone wanna try it?

[tesco samoa]

Sj this is a classic

[Suicide Junkie]

The combat strategies don't need too much detail either http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The strategy will be all in deciding which ships to build and where to move them each turn. Getting the scissors to the paper, while avoiding the rocks.

[MegaTrain]

The sizes for the Scissors-component and the Paper component are switched (that or the SHIP sizes are switched).

You can create a size-50 Paper ship with a size 48 component, but you can't create a size 48 Scissors ship with a size 50 component.

That is now fixed right up.
I've set them to 50kt each, and the hull ability restrictions are what will force the components to match the hulls.

I never saw this. I wonder where I was in late march.
This is great!

It is long awaited because SJ and I talked about it hm, well, long ago. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Great,

Maybe it should be announced on the World RPS Bullboard at http://www.worldrps.com/

[Fyron]

The mod has been on http://www.malfador.com/se4mods.html for months. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Enjoy!

[atari_eric]

So, there's no colonization, and no economic model with this as well? I grok the whole combat thing, but no econ?

[Gryphin]

Atari, I imagine using DavidG's modder you could put one together.
Edit:
What SJ said in the above post.

[Suicide Junkie]

An economy would make it very non- RPS.

Why do you even want such a thing?

[Taera]

nice!
how exactly does it work, SJ?

[Mathias_Ice]

I know it's been said before but I just can't resist:

"Good old rock, nothing beats rock."

[Suicide Junkie]

By using a combination of the "only x" damage types, and differing hitpoints /shield points per ship.

I forget the details, but for example:
One object has 50 hitpoints and no shields.
It can be killed by the next guy with 10k shields, 48 hitpoints, MC ability, and a 50 damage regular weapon.

This one can be killed by the third, which has a 48-damage computer-virus weapon, 10k shields, 46 hitpoints.

This third is killed by the first, which has a 46 damage shield disruptor.
