PBW Mod support implemented.

Would P&N v2.3 be worthy of a presence on your server? I should have it ready by the end of the week...

I second S_J's vote. P&N PBW game would be great!

------------------
Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

SJ,

I'd love to put P&N on PBW.

I think I asked about it before and the response I got from some people was that they love the mod, but that a lot of the capture techs and stratsegies don't perform well in strategic combat though.

But I can put it on there when available and let the players work that out. Maybe after playing around with it some alternate stategies can be worked out.

I wonder why you have got TDM Modpack 1.72? I thought the latest is 1.75...

[geoschmo]

I simply wasn't aware of the new Version. I'll get it updated when I get a chance.

That does put a lot more pressure on the non-normals, but I suspect that the Pirates will tend to turn into privateers, and the Nomads can sell their 1% maintenance ships for tech.
What would you give for an (almost) maintenance-free BattleMoon?

With the resourcefulness of humans, they should turn out OK.

Forgive the ignorance here. This has nothing to do with putting it on PBW, I am just curious. I may not have the most up to date P&N mod, and I am not totally up to speed on the pirates life thread. Is the reduced maint for the nomad battlemoon a function of a component or the hull? IIRC, if it is not one of those two it won't carry over to the new race.

Also, the players will have some colonies? Or have you found a way around having to have a planet to retain contact so you can make trades? (That's hard coded so I doubt it.)
