I had an idea for a FS conversion for Battlefleet Gothic...
a couple hours
(since when are Gamma Draconis, Beta Aquilae, Alpha Centauri, and Delta Serpentis connected?)
Question: how can I make it so that a player can't just create a chain of freighters and transfer a cargo container along it in one turn?
What I'm confused about: what is the purpose of a cargo container?Alright. The cargo container is basically just for similarity to the FS universe. In FS you have both freighters and cargo. In the FS-TBSG, I think it should be similar, although when a freighter is destroyed in my game, it's cargo may survive. Key points to this:
Also note that this:
- Cargo has HP. Attacks to a freighter deal damage to the cargo some of the time, however this is random and usually less total damage than to the freighter, although the freighter has more HP
- A destroyed freighter releases any cargo that it is carrying on the tile where it was when it got destroyed, provided any extra damage doesn't hit it.
- Loose cargo can be attacked by any player, or picked up by any player.
How about this: Make it so that a freighter can only do one cargo-related action per turn. ie, once it picks up a cargo, it can't drop it off until next turn.does very little to solve this:
a player can't just create a chain of freighters and transfer a cargo container along it in one turnThus even if I did your idea, which may still be valid, I would have to also create a limit on the number of actions that can be done on any one particular cargo container in a turn, probably 1 or 2.
How about this? Cargo is like a Crate from RTS Games (you pick up, get prize) except you can only pick it up with a freighter. And you only get the prize when you take it to a city, and only that city (or station I suppose). And you don't find cargoes, you make them. But you can't get the prize at the city or planet that made it. (prize being resources, a ship maybe, power-ups, etc).

A cool thing would be to have a battle simulator thing where you get to fight out the battles when you execute them.

Bingo!!!
If you got the skills, this would be awesome to impliment. like you could have a choice, either have the strategy game determine the outcome or go fight it yourself! =D

AI? Possibly. It would be added before netplay probably, but after the three species. I am also taking suggestions for how to make Shivans, be they playable or non-playable, as no FS game would be complete without them. The current working plan is as follows:
Instead of a homeworld, Shivans have a "Point of Entry," effectively an uncharted or unstable subspace node. Instead of building new units, they call in reinforcements. (Action name? Summon = too fantasy-ish, Build = incorrect) Shivans get resources by mining gas from gas giants or nebulae, and they also have a slower but steadier supply that is built up at the Point of Entry (PoE). To defeat a Shivan player, what would you have to do? Blow up the PoE? To do that would probably require a meson bomb, but I'm worried that including them would mean one action would have too much power.
Man, the Shivans would be a ***** to balance. If at all possible, that is.
You could make the Meson Bombs specific to only destroy Knossoses, and hence include them only in games with Shivans.
If you are a Shivan player you could have a "Build Knossos" option at unstable nodes (to give them an equal production capability to Terrans/Vasudans). I know it's not canonically true that Shivans build Knossoses, but it might work for the purposes of the game, yes?
@Iron Wofl: Okay, are you going to explain what you meant by that... ever?
You need a software company name.......... Aardwolf software, see its original and does what it says on the tin...
