New Ship Creation Idea

from Stardock Forums
I'm thinking about making a minor extention for this game that would add late game ships, Nothing bigger than a battleship, (1 Cruiser, 1 Destroyer, 1 Frigate, 1 Escort, 1 Science Vessel, 1 "Alien" ship and later 2 fighters and a battleship) that aren't more powerful than the Excalibur, but essentially better versions of their earily predecessors, cheaper, faster and stronger to repersent a fundemental revolution in ship design and technology (Basically the old designs became inefficent) What do you guys think about this and where should I put the (name may be subject to change) 2nd Generation Warship Technology? I'd be using whole new graphics of original designs. Are any of you are interested?

Are you asking about what techs you should use as the required tech, or where you can submit them?

What techs should I use, right now, I have them all drawn and working on converting them onto the computer. But I don't want to make a bunch of super ships that overshadow the "Ultimate Battleship".

So I really do need suggestions for where the tech is going to branch from etc.

I'm a But I also added two ships to the list..

So if there is ANY suggestions please tell me!!

What about a Military Diversification tech and make it a lengthy and BAM, you get access to all ship designs. i'd make it come after you an research "Militray Design Computer." Just my thoughts.

Good Idea. I was thinking research "2nd Gen Ships" and then research each ship individually, with a few more weapon/defense bonus along the way ending up with Refractive armour, and the last few ships. But your idea is good.. I'll really consider it
