Endless Torpedos anyone ?

If you look at the galaxy class for example they have a large stock of torpedoes it would take like 5 fights for it to run out but adds a another dynamic to the game.

oh, yea, dynamic was the word i was looking for but i think just the opposite happens, as you would have to stop your offensive.
yea, world war 3 is from the same developers as earth 2150 i think. i played earth 2150 a lot and i more or less liked the ammo system there. except if you have a lot of units, it took years to resupply them and you were basically just standing there with your tanks waiting..
and though the ideas with torpedo supplies are all interesting, i fear that this system just isn't right for a game like armada

What about Torpedoes that take Special energy to fire?

There is a mod for stock that has Torpedoes that take about 10% of the Special Energy to fire. All ships fire a large volley in the opening shot, then 1 at a time as the energy reloads.

The problem is that one had no Special Weapons, so FO would be harder.

could make the support ships more important if you let them resupply

well i remember 1 game where i liked the ammo thing, but that was M.A.X and that was round based ...

ammo works only with tactical games not with fleet games
