Default me wants!

I'm sure some of these have been suggested previously but too many Posts to read

- how about planetary assault troops that can be launched from a distance like fighters

- change the unit of population from 1 million to something more reasonable, like 10's of thousands (ie 1 pop = 10,000 people) - this is one of my pet peeves

- make only missiles able to damage planets

- limit the size of ships through certain warp points

- have facilities controlled by pop levels on planets, ie a shipyard needs 15 pop to operate, a mining facility 5 pop - that way you could build as many facilities a s you want but you need the people to actually have it produce

Except for the only missles damaging planets, all the rest of these ideas are hard-coded and we can't do anything about them. The Warp Point size and population to run facilites was intended for SEIV but never was implemented. I would guess that we could see something similar, or at least the option, for these in SEV.

As for only missles targetting planets, that's easily modded. Just removed the Planet from the targetable entry in the components.txt file.

Welcome to the Boards Drone

Good ideas. If those are meant for SE V, you should put it in the sticky "Tell Aaron" thread. That might give them a shot at making it
