Re: New Weapon Concepts

Ugh, thats bad http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

But weapons that only damage population growth/happiness/etc. would be another cool idea.

Do they have supply deleting...

Re: Do we need larger mines than small?

Sure, 100 large mines are better than 100 small mines.

Re: Planet Movement?

If you had another black hole somewhere, wouldn't gravity pull each one toward the other? So you could just create and destroy black holes right in front of the one you wanted to move to start it in...

Re: physicist call

A spud gun isn't useless as a weapon, you just need a larger mount for it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: The "Birth-of-a-new-mod" Thread!

Ok, I had another mod idea. What if (nearly) every tech area was a "racial" tech? So at the beginning of the game you had to choose what tech you could ever research for the whole game? You'd want...

Re: The "Birth-of-a-new-mod" Thread!

This may exist in some form or another, but I would like mods where you have to choose things that have negative implications as well as positive. Examples:

1. components that give you +attack...

Re: physicist call

I don't know this but it makes sense that planets and stars are close to spherical because gravity isn't a "directional" force, being a curvature of space/time. Most celestial bodies arn't perfect...

Re: physicist call

How about Implosion for a cool gravity based damage type? Make the ship weigh so much it collapses on itself.

Don't forget about neutron stars, as well. They are stars that didn't quite have...

Re: Anybody here play Traveller?

Yeah, balance was just a joke in palladium games, especially rifts. The techno-wizard or techno-psi is a cool concept, too bad magic was so wimpy in rifts. You can make them much better in gurps

Re: mathematical formulaes

Sure, but using the combat simulator isn't going to give you a nice table of numerical weapon comparisons. The combat simulator takes a lot longer, and the results would only be valid for those...

Re: Favorite Mod Techs/Components

Yay, leaky shields and armor!

The idea is that the armor/shield protection allows some of the damage to go through before the armor or shields are destroyed. For example, if you had 50kt of armor...

Re: mathematical formulaes

Combat sensors/ecm/etc. all have the same effect on any direct fire weapon, right? So it would simplify things to ignore them.

Seekers don't really fit into the formula anyway. Their...

Re: Which components get hit first?

Thanks for the info! Maybe someone will put it into the newbie faq. I'll copy & paste this (with credit to you) into the post if that is ok.

Re: mathematical formulaes

You could do an average of the hit rate over all the ranges (from 0-20) to get a number to compare range and accuracy. But seekers would probably come out looking better than they are. Also it...

Re: "Gamey" tactics like "Rock, none" races
