Shadowtechs Homebase Sector and Flagship Mod *2-28-04*

[ShadowTek]

To get Homebase Sector you MUST start a new game!


In order to get the new Homebase Sector, you MUST Start a new game, Old save Games also save the original Universe map, in order to get the Home sector you have to start a new game, I did not realize this so sorry for the late info.

I have just sent my new Mod to both:
The X2 Scripting Center
The Commanders Space Station
***Now Avalible*** Look in Downloads/X2 Editor Scripts/X2 Editor Scripts under Ship Scripts.

Edit: Just to let all know, The Commander's Space Station is now back online.

For those looking for my Homebase and Flagship Mod, it is currently also located at BabyFace's Website

Shadowtechs Homebase Sector and Flagship Mod

The point of this Mod is to add a more personal touch to X2

This is a Off-shoot of my Super Carrier Mod but with a lot of changes and is a Seperate Mod from the Super Carrier.
The following is a list of things/Changes you will find:

You now have a choice between haveing a Argon Colossus or a Split Raptor as your Flagship.
in the "Types" Folder you will find these 2 files:
Argon-TShips.txt
Split-TShips.txt

VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT...YOU MUST DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You HAVE to re-name the one you want (Argon=Colossus or Split=Raptor) to TShips.txt

You now have a Home Sector located far SOUTH of Argon Prime, It comes with Your Headquarters located at its center. Since this base doesnt produce anything and is more of a warehouse I didnt feel it was too over the top, and it adds ambiance to your Home Sector. Your HQ looks like a Xenon Shipyard (very cool looking me thinks )"Hint" The surrounding sectors really really REALLY need energy cells.

The Shadowtech Flagship (re-named from super carrier) is now buyable in a shipyard owned by a neutral race in your home sector. Look to the 3 Massive red giants. It sells for $160,000,000 dollars (no more free ship ). I thought long and hard on price and came up with this as fair, any higher would make it too unatanable. Also for those who would argue it should cost more, remember this is only one ship, not 3. Also to outfit it with 18 PPC's Shields etc, will cost a small fortune in itself. It can only be one place at a time. For those who say its too expensive see below.

So what do you get for your $160,000,000?
18 Guns (17 Guns for Split Raptor)
100,000 Armor Hull
Carry 130 Ships (150 for Split Raptor)
Buy, Transport Factorys
Improved Handling
The Power of a Destroyer, Mobil Homebase qualitys of a carrier, The Transport power of a TL, and the mobility of a Corvette.
The Shielding of a TL.

This MOD also adds the following:
HQ & 75 MW Shield Mod by Olis J
The Improved Shield Mod by me
The Xenon J fix by me
Re-Balanced Weapons by me

BACK UP ALL FILES BEFORE INSTALLING ANY VERTION

Awesome work mate. I will surely be starting a new game with this installed and see how it performs. :¬)

Maybe I'm just going stupid, but I can't find it on either site

[Vandragorax]

Hmm stil can't find the file either. Perhaps the site owners haven't put it up yet? :¬/ If anyone has a link further into one of those sites for this file please let me know, all I can find are the older ones without the Raptor file.

Ok thanx.

I'll just have to play some X2 and try again later.

BTW does this work with running games, or will I need to restart?

Thanx

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoy this mod, if you find any problems e-mail me so I can work them out, its late sunday night and I have to crash, and Ill be gone til next weekend, and Im only here on weekends. So If there are questions asked here Im not blowing you off, can only Mod, play X2 and answer stuff on the weekends.

Also as to the E-mails on questions on various TShips functions, There are allot of very knowledgable people here, Storm_Front, MightyMidget, and BabyFace are but a few. So if I dont answer your e-mail right away Im not blowing you off or anything, Im just not around.

Try asking on these forums and Im sure someone can help you allot faster then I can. Truth be told, due to my time consuming job Im not a good person to ask stuff as I can only respond on the weekends, though I'll do the best I can. Try looking at this thread, mabey what your looking for is here.
TShips Exposed Discussion
Also Storm_Front has a excellent Mod Kit on Xscripting that may help you as well. Anyway hope this helps

Thanks and see you all next week.
