Experience for ships?

posted on May 13th, 2007, 6:31 pm

I am not sure of it's feasible with the Armada II engine (and it might seem a bit generic), but I thought that if ships in a lot of combat gained chevron's giving, I don't know, plus 5% shield regeneration or something of the sort for each chevron they gained (with a max amount of chevrons of course) it might make us care about each individual ship even more. Whaddya think? Too complicated, unnecessary?

just to complicated

I still love the idea. But I also remember a thread saying that experience-features are not possible.
But hopefully I'm wrong.

I thot of some thing like what you have in mind but the problem with do this is not just that its complicated it would all so need bit of code called Sores code with helps a programmer change the core frame work be hind the game.

Which means if the Armada II source code will ever be available for modders (Or is it by now?), we all will get whatever the FO-team can think of. Or what we make them think of... or.. whatever. 
But as far as I know it isn't.

I think they are relaesing it for legacrap so that means ...
well i dont know what it means

That means:
The FO-team will finish V3 until the sourcecode for Legacy (Don't laugh, but we've got a band around here called "Legacrap"!) is released.

...because right after that they will make FO for Legacy! 

Back2topic:
If the source for Armada 2 hasn't been released yet, is there a way to make them release it? Some kind of petition? Dunno...

would probably work better for hero ships, rather than the main stream ones, but seems a pretty good idea. unsure about its feasability though

its just too mutch extra too complicaed.  I would like to see introduction of the iconians and ciadan first

I think something like experience for ships is more important than more races. The gameplay is one of the major differences between FO and other mods. If it would just be about the races, it wouldn't be so successfull and it would somehow just be another mod.
In my opinion additional races can wait though the Iconians would also be something new (as far as I know) and I'd like to see them.
Uhm... let's make a poll!

Tickles my mind just thinking about it (v5 that is) I know there was a subject about Hero Ships; any chance they would be implemented (in the relatively near future), cuz that sounds cool too.

at the current rate v5 will be 6-8 years from v3 release

Maybe there is some way to encourage a quicker release... *nudges rich friend in mid torso*
