Just copy whatever shipsets you want into the mod. This is a mod, not a shipset pack Wink

I've used the slot overrides, so it is fair.

No i mean will you create your own? aka the mod-creators own races? As it is his own "universe"

*glances at last poster*

I'm only guessing here but based on his previous actions in SE4, no, he won't. He never has before to my knowledge.

Making shipsets is hard....I've got 10 different shipsets down on paper...(the old earth powers: france, america, britan, soviets, italians, african union, south american confederation, china, japan, and the canadians, but im still trying to learn how to make em: Very Happy

)

Point is ideas dont grow on trees, and this shipset stuff is really hard... Very Happy

I just worry about the gameplay physics, and let the shipsets be.
After all, the shipsets are all out there, just waiting to be dropped in.

I believe in doing what you can do best, and let others do their thing, and it all works.
Which means IMO, Aaron should focus on the game engine, and just let Kwok and/or the community deal with stock. The modders make the mods, and the 3D artists make their shipsets, and the AI guys make 'em smart...

Help the others out by building compatibility into your piece, and offering ideas or help with grunt work, but don't bother trying to do the work that others are already doing, and are better at to boot Wink

Does the AI work for this mod?

SuicideJunkie · Leaky Guru Joined: May 28, 2005 Location: Canada!

Oh, certainly not.
I'm not sure that it is actually possible to write a decent AI for this mod, due to the complexities.
What's the optimal

Still, if anyone wants to try to write an AI, I'd be more than happy to help however I can.

In the meantime, play against a natural intelligence. It will be a far better challenge, and your witty messages will be appreciated properly.
