Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

In MOO2, fighters could carry powerful bombs which ships could only use against planets, but fighters (due to their agility) could use against ships as well. Why couldn't this be done in SE5? After...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Really? I hated SF's emissive armor... it was rather bland compared to SE4's! After all, if your EA blocks 25% of all damage, rather than 25 points of damage per hit, all that does is effectively...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

"Avoid when out of fuel" - an alternative setting to "avoid this system"; a ship coming across a system set to this will avoid the system only if it is out of fuel. Useful for systems with random...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Rules for encounters with races with no treaty or declaration of war - i.e. "attack at first sight", "don't fire on unless fired on first", etc. Would make roleplaying in MP games a bit less cliched...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I've probably mentioned this before, but how about the ability to mod different sets of music tracks for each race? They could be the same in stock just to avoid the extra work, but if modders want...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I want the "combat replay" feature to be an external program, freely distributable separate from the main game, so that we can save replays of our most glorious battles and share them with other...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I think that if there's an opaque storm, then you shouldn't be able to see OUT of it or THROUGH it as well, not just INTO it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Ahead to sides? As in an arc facing from straight forward to straight east? Then place the weapon in the northeast corner of the ship! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I couldn't tell from the video, but do weapons have firing arcs? If not (they were a pain to mod in Starfury), here's a simple way of doing it:

1. The arc WIDTH is determined by a parameter on the...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

One of the announced features is a new alliance system in which (if I understand it correctly) you can even have multiple rival galactic councils, much like NATO vs. the Warsaw Pact....

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Hmm... that makes me think of Dominions, because in Dominions, you definitely need different types of units (or at least strategies) to defeat the different nations. For instance, to defeat Abysia,...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

If all your forces in a combat are destroyed, but the combat continues, you shouldn't be able to see the rest of the combat. (Say a 3-way combat http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

In combat, if one side can't see the other (due to storms, cloaking devices, or other means of cloaking), they shouldn't be able to fire at them, or at least should have a significant to-hit penalty,...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

SE2 had that; you could only see your own home system and any other systems you have explored on the galaxy map. That idea was scrapped in SE3 for *realism* purposes, as it was assumed that any...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Actually, you WILL be able to add your own unit types... and I haven't read over all your suggestions but it looks like most if not all of them could be implemented as custom vehicle types in SE5!...

While we're on the topic of resources, how about resource converters that only convert specific types of resources - for instance, Refineries that convert Minerals to Radioactives?

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

And multipliers... maybe each warhead would halve the cloak level of the mine instead?

Come to think of it, remember how in Stars, cargo mass affected things like cloaking and fuel consumption?...
