Special Ships

posted on June 8th, 2007, 1:28 am

Would it be possible to make a ship such as Picard's ship, but make it buildable only once? The only way I can think of though is to make it a moving, shooting research module...

...or a special starting unit.
At least it won't be that difficult to make it available only once I think.
Must be a line in the odfs. As I haven't tried to change my starting units I don't know how to do it at the moment. But somehow you inspired me...

"there will be a option to build hero ships in the player vs player mode"

i don't remember saying that

anyway, we just made progress in that matter yesterday in terms of the way we like to bring that feature in the game but it won't affect v3 final anymore.

what we don't want is heroes as starting unit. i have seen that some other mods a very long time ago and the idea didn't really work, especially for game balancing

It also could be included as game mode or simply in a map specific manner.

Or something that would call for a resource of which there is only one

I remembered you said that there will be a option in the PVP setup menu that would let you enable hero ships. Well my memory in advised years is not as good as it used to be.
