Honor Mod?

So, I am definetely going to be buying this game (unfortunately a little lo on cash right now) and I was thinking of some mods I might want to make.

So, I just started reading the Honor Harrington series (in the middle of Short Victorious War now) and was thinking, the books could probably be Modded into Starfury. So, I was wondering if this is possible:

Make shields that generate movement as well, then make side shield slots to represent the impellars generating the sidewall.

That would be pretty easy to do...
Using my Slot Modder, delete the shield slots, move the engine slots to wherever you like and give them a port or starboard facing.

In components, grab the engine components, and add another ability, shield generation.
Presto Change-o.

You'll also change the models, and weapons, and etc, but I don't know what you want to be doing with that.

I keep seeing mention of this Honor Harrington series, but for as many sci-fi books that I read, I don't think I've come across it. Who's the author, and how many books are there in this series? I'd like to read them, if I ever have the time (and money, cause books aren't cheap anymore).

What you want to do is buy the War of Honor (I think that's the book) hardcover. The rest of the series comes with it on CD.

Or check Baen's web site. They have a free library with the first two books.

David Weber, start with On Baslisk Station, then slowly fall in love with military Sci-Fi.

Sheilds would be doable, as they are invulnerable top and bottom (works in a 2d universe), and vunerable on the sides. The sidewalls would get pretty heavy, as there would be no front or back. Hmm, bet Cruisers "cross the T" easier than Battleships.

You'd also have to make huge fighters/small frigates to do the LAC's, and I can;t wait to see what you do with the SD(P)'s.
