  • Who? What? Noway!
OKay I got lost reading through all the posts. Here's what I was wondering, has anyone ever considered a  modded league type setting where factions fight for control of planets and star systems?
The Lurker Extreme

To study and not think is a waste, but to think and not study is dangerous.

Hands off me haggis!!

That means your about the same age as me.
:cool:

 
For weapons options I'd donate the Photons and Quantoms I converted ;)  Right now they are primaries so they don't track.
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

Those don't really require a high understanding of math, if I'm seeing it right all you have to do is insert numerical values (like where it says "overall = 0.3(laserVal)+0.2(misVal)+0.1(maxWepEnergy)+0.15(poweroutput)+0.25 (turrets)" you would insert the value of the "laserVal", "misVal" etc. and multiply it with the coefficients [0.3 and 0.2 respectively]) which are found on the left side or in many cases you decide using guidelines on the left side. In the end the overall value has to be less than a certain number to be balanced.

Was that coherent or am I being confusing?

On the side: wouldn't this be easier with Descnet style movements? Considering it's battle within constrained area (unless we're not doing indoor arenas) and Descent stuff shouldn't be too hard to implement (it's in the code as a cheat can activate it). Or is the focus to arena-battle specifically with FS physics?...

Edit: BTW, Hades you're around my age too :p so coolbies :yes:

Edit2: Damn this is a pretty old thread, sorry for reviving it

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

 
don't be,it's a great idea, and i think we all wish someone had the time to complete this.

Woo... old topic!

anyways, I was thinking that - with the SCP work on the multiplayer code - could /should we consider reviving this idea?
