Today I had a slightly odd idea.
It would be possible to set up a mod that was completely different from normal SEIV. So that its not planets and space ships, but sword and sorcery style. A sort of dngeons and dragons style thing. Below is a list of approximations that I could think of.
Planet		vilage/town/city site (water supply)
Star			Mana Point
Storm			Rocks/jungle/woods
Asteroids		Ruined town (no water)
Rock			Suface
Ice			?
Gas giant		?
Warp Point		Door
Ship			Individual Person/Entity
Facility		Building
Fighter		        Spell Particle (imp?)
Drone			Summoned Thing
Mine			Trap
Weapon Platform	        Magic Defense
Satallite		Magic Defense
Component		Equipment
Atmosphere		????
Organics		Food
Minerals		Ordanary Materials
Radioatives		Mana
Supplies		Supplies
Engine		        Legs/wings/etc
Ive had a play with the files and come up with a basic Version. Not sure how to upload to these forums, so ive put it on yahoo Groups (rubbish i know but i can't be bothered with anything more complex).
 
Magic Force v0.001 
Has anyone tried this before? Any ideas?
