Conjecture: Procedural Generation in RTS.
Just something to think about, having to do with creating ships and vehicles in an RTS.  I doubt it's really possible, but it would be cool anyway.
So say you want to create a custom ship.  You decide locations and facings for the turrets and systems, and perhaps put in a very basic shape.  The computer then uses a sort of style template that fits the faction you are playing as (if there are multiple styles you could pick one) and generates the ship.

Thoughts?

A sort of mixture of Spore and Sins of a Solar Empire?

It's certainly doable... And probably has been done before, though I can't think of anything like it off the top of my head.

Re: Conjecture: Procedural Generation in RTS.
Well, I googled it, found lots of spore references and an indiegame procedural generation competition, but nothing like what I described above.  Well, mabey some designer will stumble onto this thread and think its a good idea.   :rolleyes:
