The ships are secretly made out of Magnesium...

The GTVA just likes to use the codename Molybdenum...

A convinient way of 'proving' your point which I dont think is right...

You brought it up in the first place so it looks liek your running scared...

I am not scared, just I wanted to tell not this place is the best to discuss physics, if you want, we can discuss it in an individual topic.

More than new races I want new teams. Again this should be handled by a table which says by default who the new team is hostile to, friendly to and who they ignore completely (and also the colour they are displayed on the HUD).

Yes we could have something like in age of empires with teams 1- 8 and then in an editor you could check boxes to see whos hostile to who. or to make it simpler you could just have all teams hostile to each other.

The table like that may suffice! A good idea, and how about more complicated things? Like: team 1 is civilian, they want to pass by an Arcadia of team 3. team 1 transports don't want to fire upon the Arcadia, only in the case the station fires at the transports, but then the transports fire back an call in reinforcements.

This is why the chage-iff SEXP is to be modified, too.
Like:
change-iff
team 1
hostile
team 3
it means that the first variable(team 1) will consider the third var in the status of second variable.

I certainly wouldn't reccomend messing about with Change-iff for that. Not only would it break current missions but what you're doing doesn't actually involove changing the iff anyway. The team remains the same iff it's just that the iff is now hostile.

What you need is a new SEXP something like Change-Team-Dynamics or something.

The ability to change the sides on a team in mid game via a SEXP would be nice but to be honest even if it could only be done via a table I would be happy.

Besides the example you give could just as easily be done by using the protect-ship and unprotect-ship SEXPs

[TopAce]

But protect-ship makes the assigned ship protected against ALL ships in the area, who do not have direct orders for attack, you cannot give ALL ships in an asssigned team to attack that ship if there are more ships

[karajorma]

I think I vaguely see what you're getting at.

Still this is something for a new SEXP rather than an alteration of an existing one.
