What do you like to see in upcoming X2 mods?

[dathion]

I for one would love to pay extra for a TS-M6 Hybrid. Maby less cargo hold space. A couple of turrets for better missle and smal fighter protection. Also more shield variety. Maby more ship class varients.
and a large map.

@dathion:
Have you opened this thread because of the recent discussion in the thread Working on new mod-" P. X D. "?
If so, mind to edit your first post to something similiar like this, to let people know what this thread is about?

What do you like to see in upcoming X2 mods?

There are still some mods under development for X2. Currently known mods under development: Top Gun Mod, X2 Pandora, P.X.D.

This thread is meant as a reference for the modders out there. It is not connected to any of these mods. It's purpose is to voice your opinions what you would like to see in a mod. Maybe the developers will pick up the ideas.

Somethiing like that. And maybe add a poll?

What do you want in upcoming X2 mods?
- new ships
- new factories
- new graphics
- new missions
- stronger enemies
- weaker enemies
.....

Being a team member of one of the mentioned mods (guess which one ), I'm really interested in what people want. I just know what I want, but I want people to play the mod. Thus input is always welcome.

---------------------------

Also more shield variety

Ah, one of my favorites!

Maby more ship class varients.

New ship classes can't be added except for elaborating the built-in support for M0.
Also space for new ships is limited. The maximum number of ships is 201, if I remember right. This means, variants of an Argon Nova (for example) can be added, but it will still be a M3 ship class, no M3+.

Well I think you know what I want Chris

I want a super Uber ship which can fire a high powered weapon and is forced to recharge after it is fired however, with this one shot I would like the blast diameter to be huge and for it also to destroy things behind whatever I hit first and have a really long distance range. Perhaps 100km. Easy to do with the Tbullets but a ship like that would need to look mean lol.

[dathion]

@ chris: thats exatly why I started thi post Im not good wit setting up poles thoough.
what I meant about varients would be job specific ships.
such as an M5 with high speeds big enough cargo to hold triplex
scanner, Making it the best suited forwaerd scout.
an M6 class with 2 foward fixed weopons 2x top, bottom, right, left,rear
turrets with max GIRE for fighter support for M1 class ships. this M6
would only be good against M3,M4,M5, and missles.

Basicly stuff of that nature.

[Lord Dakier]

So more detailed fleet varieties?

[dathion]

yes more detaild feet varieties as well as Ts.

shields if possible M5- 1mw, 2mw,3mw each class more expenive.
M4- 5mw,10mw,15mw. M3-20mw,25mw,30mw
so on and so on for each class of ships,and the amount held would be
race specific.

I would like to see the bad guys have a slightly higher edge 1vs1.

Then no poll. These are good for people that don't want to write and to get a quick overview, but they are usually not suited to mirror the exact opinion. But I see no need to create a new thread, so let's stick with this.
Could you edit your opening post, then?

what I meant about varients would be job specific ships.

Ah, I see, I was not sure what exactly you meant.

I want a super Uber ship which can fire a high powered weapon and is forced to recharge after it is fired however, with this one shot I would like the blast diameter to be huge and for it also to destroy things behind whatever I hit first and have a really long distance range. Perhaps 100km. Easy to do with the Tbullets but a ship like that would need to look mean lol.

Sounds to me like a killer ship with a killer weapon, like an M0 .

[Lord Dakier]

Hmm perhaps myself or Chris should get a poll thread setup for these kind of things. If we find out what people like we could edit the first post and give news on upcoming mods and links to their forums even. I should imagine it would popularise X2 a bit better if we organised things for ourselves.

We could leave a nice part for requests leading into mods as well. It would be a kind of modding HQ for X2 lol.

What do you think Chris?

@ Dathion: I think I understand what you mean.

Another thing that would be good is a free lance scientist overclocking port. You dock in this equipement and they basically supertune your ship in different aspects not just rudder and engines but, also shields and lasers.

[Chris Gi]

It would be a kind of modding HQ for X2 lol

Well, this is a good idea. But noone has moderator rights. We have three possibilites:
- start a new thread with a poll added and ask the moderators to merge the two threads
- or we develop the poll stuff and dathion adds it to his opening post (does this work?)
- we stick to this thread as it is.

I would prefer to be NOT the one in charge . I'm lazy. I'm busy. And I am already in charge of too many things. Did I mention I'm lazy?

[Lord Dakier]

Sorry Chris, I was typing my post when you wrote yours lol.

Hmm no offence ment here Dathion but I doubt you are active as much as myself or Chris. I could ask a moderator to merge this thread and a new one I suppose.

It may be best just to C&P the important information and start a new thread lol.

I'll create the new thread seen as you are rather lazy... I mean busy

[dathion]

no offence taken I agree to a merged topic.
start a new topic then we can ask LV or someone else to merge them

[Jonson27]

Too bad the designers went the way of preconfigured ship designs. I would have liked to see custom ship design built into the game... with several variety of hulls that can accomodate many different turret layouts. I think design on the scale of something like the original master of orion or MOO2 would have been 5/5. That way we wouldn't have to spend time messing with data files - and risk causing conflicts that will crash x2. For those of us who're less hardcore in the area of content generation (like me), it would have been greatly appreciated.

Posts will be ordered by timestamp on the merged thread. Thus, merging into newer topic is most likely a "Mess". How about a lock of "deprecated branches", and you copy the "essentials" into the "official" topic?

[dathion]

that worrks we already staryed a new thread

[jlehtone]

Thought so. Lets let this float slowly to the sediment then.
