New Features and expanded Forgetools

from Sins Forums

Here some of the new feature i want to see

 

Forge Tools: Ive always wanted to mod but never had skill. In Galactic Civ, you can make new ships design which was fun and make factions.

Ship Forge: Make Ships and add weapons type etc.

 

Planet Forge: Make own planets, create type, how will it look like.

Research Forge: Make new research ideas for a custom faction

Artifact Forge: Create new artifacts and bonuses. I also like the idea of a artifact that has a negative impact on a faction.

Faction Creator: Create your own factions and add them to SOASE

 

Land Troops on Planet. Land soldiers on planet to try to take it over though you cant control them. It will be to much micromanagement.

New Defense: What i really hated about SOASE is like each faction only gets 1 gun platform type.

TEC: Missile Platform can attack mutiple targets but not up close. Autocannon Platform can attack close but not far. Laser Platform basic and medium range. Gauss Platform same range but longer reload.

Advent: Plasma Cannon, large damage radius with splash but long reload, Rapid Fire Laser Platform deals low damage but fast attack and medium range.

 

Vasari: Pulse Platform, medium range. Wave Cannon large damage radius but long reload.

 

I also think that you should have the ability to colonize space junks, asteroids belts, and plasma storms. Colony ships can create an orbital platform which allows miners to live there. 500 pop cap with 2 fighter squadrons, basic weaponry and 3 free frigates. Since colonizing a plasma storm disables strike craft, you get 5 free frigates.

 

Thats all i can think for now :grin:

1 2 3 and 4 are all already possible.  text based. but possible.

others are completely diffeent, and are mostly silly suggustions.  I would not be suprised i defences do get some sort of extra something depending if you chose rebels or loyalists.

 

nuuu colonizing neutrals. they are called neutrals for a reason.  would be very easy to make thisa mod, however. except the free frigs thing... which is just wtf stupid.

We need a GUI-based app selection that outputs the file correctly formatted (and ideally will insert the string and scenario entries as well).

I understand this is all "somewhat" available but it is piecemeal and much is command line and requires some understanding of game files and the like.

What I think this gentleman (and myself) want is a simple and uncomplicated way to generate game elements--it would only enhance the game and bring in more new player interest.

I agree. GalCiv 2 style modding with GUI tools would be great.

If yall want it so much... it should not be too hard to make one if your good at programming.

Well if we were programmers we'd be real happy with all the command line tools out there and hand placing eveything and wouldn't have posted.
