I am working on a new faction or ship type, the Cheldaceans, these suips look like a sort of different fossils, crustaceous, squid etc...inspired by Farscape.
Moreover have a cool idea, but hard to do, it is to:
-create some map on a planet using a terran edittor
-create some mission on this map
-creat a dock point or buoy for this map, allowed when the mission is
activate and who work like a Jump Gate (PLANET-A==>CONTINENT-
Exemple: go to x,y on Planet Chyron and destoyed the biological lab, who was prodected by a lot of antigrav tanks and some DCA.
-As a consequence, this destruction will sloàwn down the search departement of the faction. But the faction can pay 500.000$ for rebuild the labs; if the faction do that, the labs will reapear after 10hours or more.
- And so the mission have direct consequences on the ecomiy, search etc.. of factions.
-A faction or a planet at least will suffer an economis crack if another faction or pirates groupe send a lot of trops on tactical point or if a faction whith a big flot will apply commercial restriction with blocking transporter going to the planet concerned by the resstriction, or semply destroying the more important factures of the planet.
I know that it will be hard but it will be a very fun experience for all Lancers
U can have u more details about the Cheldacean Faction under this line, modder, your help is welcome !!! i am a simple (frensh) modeler-thinker
-The Chaldean Ships can be growing alived ship with growth level, with a wareness, and so, the ship do not want to do some mission
fot exemple, a loyal Leviathan Fighter do not want to attack another Leviathan if the first haven' t attaked him.If u by a Leviathan Hybrid born in a pirate base, he will be crual (and enventually sometimes attack a weak suip just for the fun, argh !!) and will gain more growth level in attacking cargo or civil ship than make trade with divers station, whereas a Leviathan born into a luxirious and peacfull world will be pacifist and growing up more faster with tradding commongoods
-The Leviathan (naturally freighter), can scan technologies of another ship and she will have an Hybrid child, But if during a combat, the Ship lost 80HP, the gestation stopp, and the Hybrid larva dead. then ,u can sell the Hybrid on condition that the Leviathan mother is agree. For the case of he refuse, we had to gameplay possibilité, one more difficult than the other:
-the first is to create a hangar ship for each whith a certain price and a certain place.
-the second is to configure a command for acces to the Leviathan, as he was a battleship base, but it will be dangerous for the pilot to quit the leviathan because he will be under fire when u get out with the Hybrid or another ship.
So ,we can fuseion merge the two solution in one:
-hide the leviathan on a big asteroîd or planet; and become a sort of base who can move when neccessary.Or, different player can be in, so the Leader ship can drive the Leviathan during other pilotes takes other ships.
Hybrid' Larva Fighter (=lightfighter),
Hybrid Chrysalis Fighter (=heavyfighter),
Young Hybrid Fighter (=veryheavyfighter),
Adult Hybrid Fighter (=gunship),
Old Hybrid Fighter (=cruisieur+smal base),
Ancient Hybrid Fighter(=battleship+ base)
Leviathan' s Larva (=lightfreighter)
Leviathan' s Chrysalis (=heavyfreighter)
Young Leviathan (=veryheavyfreighter)
Adult Leviathan ( hugefreighter can hissed 2 Cheldacean class Larva )
Old Hybrid Fighter (=very hugefreighter+base),
Ancient Hybrid Fighter(=extra hugefreighter+large base)
note;Leviathan had no or just a little weapons (like 4 turred Lv10, no more) but a cargo space very impotant and can carry a lot of shops, is his like a ...starcraft-carrier!!! A new classe in a new classe.
