Feel free to take any idea's My comments spark in your mind and run with it...7ate9tin11s wrote: Hmmm...simply put, I dislike forcing mods on people so any custom ships will not be a part of a script I build. However, I do like the ideas you presented and allowing complete customization of what ships are considered to be Kha'ak is a very nice idea (Then you can add that ship if you want once it is installed!).
I also already had plans for an optional 'hatchery' sector of sorts that can be assaulted by the brave...or foolish.
I was thinking a string of burned out/dead/empty sectors with a very nasty surprise on the end where the massed bad guys (kha'ak or "other" races) will launch out of that sector (when entered by another race, any race...) and run an invasion/expand/colonize from there... (maybe even right through the Xenon first, to get to the rest...) (nasty thought... the Kha'ak/Other Nasty running the invasion right into the active war sectors... kill all who oppose us....) Maybe have it run in "cycles" of so much time dormant and then a period of aggression and assault and then a retreat back to dormant...
-and the period of aggression is very bad... whole sectors almost completely wiped out... lots of ships overwhelm the sector, but not a core sector... (except 1 core sector of the race that entered their system may fall, or merely take a beating...)
which is why i am for a set of new ships for the Kha'ak/Other Nasty that are really good, but not invincible... Or just make it where the Kha'ak will actually use any ships made available to them normally....
or possibly an AL script for increasing aggression/step up attacking the commonwealth, and a mod that adds the ships and sectors and such that the script will take full advantage of as an optional addon.... (that way you aren't "forcing" anyone...
) As a storyline... After Final Fury, the Kha'ak had to look for a new home, instead, they found "X" Race and were offered alliance.... and now there are some nastier forces loose in the universe and they do spy on the rest, disguised X Race ships as other races vessels.... they work through agents of other races... They actively work to increase hostilities between the other races... make them weaken each other, only the strong survive.... Attacking when the victim is weakest...
and if a race does ally itself... then the X race gets to build that races ships, but retains control (though it will report as if the ship belonged to the original race still, except to a close scan) as a way of fomenting dissent and conflict....
(ok, this is getting a little ambitious.....
