Other Game Platforms For St Mods
posted on December 9th, 2006, 9:13 pm
I may be a little off, but i was wondering if its possible to create a ST mod in any other game?
There are quite a few good strategy games with massive maps and a lot more options *** oppossed to STA2... (Rise of Nations and newer...)
Purpose being, larger maps and more variety in space.
I'm not sure if current game ship designes would be usable in other games.
I am also a bit frustrated as i've upgraded my pc significantly and Armada and FO are the only games that still won't run smoothly (true, i like big maps (with hundreds of ships the most)(usually;).
As i am unexperienced in these matters, i was just wondering if its possible to go beyond STA2 engine...
Don't missunderstand, FO is by far the best ST game (its not just a mod to me
, but i have the feeling that much more can be done.
As i've been addicted to STA and FO for quite a few years i need more than just a few different ships to get me excited now. Even new maps aren't fun anymore (not enough variety/objects)...
Any ideas, suggestions, opinions?
P.S.: I won't be destroyed by the enemy, i'll be destroyed by nature (space)

Hehe yep of course it should be possible to mod many good games out there. the question is how deep moding goes. for some games - like Homeworld for example - there is even a complete SDK including the sourcecode for moding, granting you nearly infinite possbilities 
Still Armada2 should remain the best platform for the gamestyle we want to achieve. Boiling down Homeworld2 or another RTS to the format we are currently using and will be implementing in the coming realses would take incredible much time - not counting that we would have to redo all the stuff to fit the file formats of other engines. so nope, the FO Team will not move out of Armada2 for now. We spent to much time to make the A2 engine our home to move over to another. FO is not a game, its a child, you know... *geting weired*
