Experience Levels

posted on February 23rd, 2005, 12:21 pm

How about putting something like experience bonus for ships - the idea is not new.
After few kills - it would get an uograde on fire rate, later on repair rate, on the third level it's weapon could fire an immenslly powerfull beam for example.
Or any other system that would differ newly constructed vessels from those veterans.

Hmhhh Optec has something similiar in mind, but if that is possible to do, that's something for V4 or even V5. Can't tell anymore, i am on strict orders to be silent

i am nearly positive that this is impossible with the armada 2 engine then again the fleetops team have proven to be able to do the impssible so it might just be implinmented

I therize that the fleetops team is really the Q continum and they are torruring us small pathetic humans by keeping us in suspence as to when we will get the next version of fleetops, the best rts game i have played in a long time

Your prolly right, but for the borg I doubt they have more "experianced" drones and stuff, they should in time just adapt to some special weapon and so be immune to is.


Or something like that anyway But for other races, crew experiance would be great

For Borg another thing would be interesting: For every enemy a ship kills, all of the same class (or maybe even every ship there is) get some experience. At a lower rate than individual ships in the other races, of course.

Sure looks like an impossible feature right now; but we'll see...

Yep this sounds more like something you could do with a C&C based game, but who knows the FO team has done some pretty amazing things in the past.

It hit me over night but this is how you could do it.

Ok, took metal out of the game and replaced Latinum with Titantium. And if you don't beleive me look at the odf's yourself. There is a 8472 miner special weapon in the stock armada the drains the metal out of ships and on to the miner. It then can be dropped off on the prossecing station/ship/passive embro evulvtion thing. Now you can also make any ship/station in the game be able to prosess whatever they can miner which can be anything. Now if each weapon hit, sucked "metal" from the target to the firer and was instendly changed to the usable form. This usable form could be used to level certain ships for the cost in exp. It also might be used for some research. This would stop people from staying away and building there base up and forcing them to go out and fight.

sawnds intresting its weth a triy. but one whood not wont tham to get to stong. just minarly beter. we dont wont a ship to get so strong it can distoy a star bace all by its self.

so basically a miningship that can stripdown the hull of another ship. hmm are they usefull for the game? i mean if you know soemone has it, i would send a fleet to destroy them. usually mining ships are easy to kill so i donno if that special skill is very handy. i mean just mining sounds easier and less troublesome

If there will be something like that in a future version it will touch the deepest FO mechanics and therefore every race will have access to it

don't forget the "if" at the start of this reply
