Idea submissions

I'm starting this thread for the purpose of submitting ideas for changes/mods to the game.I haven't found a thread that already or seriously covers this,so i started my own............

On with the first idea....i've created a facility that effectively cloaks planets,it's playtested and works perfectly.The enemy can't see the cloaked planet on any of thier maps and you can uncloak and cloak the planet just as you do a ship.If this hasn't been done successfully before and anyone's interested i'll post the file here

Ummm, post the file, I have never seen this work.

On a side note: Spaghetti is delicious.

Does anybody know what happened to the idea of making SE IV into a naval game? A long time ago SOMEONE proposed changing the graphics and data files to do a navy wargame. Has this been shelved? I for one would like to see a well done Version of this.

i will post the file tomorrow...seems there is one lil bug..it does work,but after you build it you have to save your game,reload for the cloak icon to become available...after that all works perfectly..just a lil annoyance comes along with it....gonna tweak it and post tomorrow evening....if ya want it anyway let me know and i'll post it as is.....maybe ya don't care if ya have to reload.....but i figure would be pain in the rear for pbw games

I have an idea for a mod, but i have no idea if it will ever work.

It would be neat if there was a racial tech that would allow the construction of widespreading weapons, like some kind of beamweapon that will hit everything in an arch of say 30 degrees inside a certain radius. Of course the damage of such a weapon would have to be tone down but anyhow, I think it would be cool.
Another idea is to use this multihit ability only with tractors and repellers. Wouldn't it be great if you could repell a whole bunch of those nasty enemy vessels and just sit and whatch while your planetary defences pumnmel them to dust?

I don't have enough modding experience yet to say if this is even possible, but I bet there is someone out there who knows.
