Multiplayer RP Scenerio (long)

"Phoenix D, the Starfire timeline did use point defense but to match the values, why dont you double up the hull space used by the pd module"

The point was doing this WITHOUT a mod

If I do this scenerio with a mod, it'll take longer. Actually, some elements of my current techmod are similar to Starfire- I borrowed the standard missiles, for example. At the current rate it'll take a LONG time to finish though. Techs are in, vehicles are in, I've started on components.. finished missiles, but multi-layered components really, really suck.

First, Last, only bump. Still need one more person minimum here.

I picked up 3 of the 4 books this weekend.

I will start reading them when I am finished stalingrad

Just an FYI, if you're expecting anything other than a shoot em up from In Death Ground.. don't

Insurrection is slightly better, but IMO they aren't Weber's best work. Still makes a nice setting for this though. Especially since the setting already uses warp points, no workarounds needed.

which books by weber do you recommend.

Tesco, I personally think Weber's 'Honor Harrington' novels are spiffo - damn fine reads each and every one.

Another couple of books I think are pseudo SEIV in outlook are Niven's 'Motie' books - I think the first was called the Mote in Gods Eye and the second was called the Moat around Murcheson's Eye - really good the pair of them

Oh right, please accept my profuse apologies. I have spent ages going through my copy of SEIV and changing the names of all the techs to Starfire/BB5 equivalents, for example, APB's are lasers, PPB's are energy beams etc not quite starfire was gives the game the same feel.

I think the SEIV point defence cannon works and gives a starfire-esque feel with regard to both effectiveness and response
