what do you take again Phoenix-D

Nit: The Orions didn't lose the 3rd Interstellar War, the Rigelians did. If you want some extra work, you can always put a single world in some remote system with ships blockading it to represent the few survivors of that race.

Hm. For the Gorm, I'd make them a different atmosphere from the Orions and Terrans, to simulate the effects of their heavy-world origins. (In Starfire, they breathe oxygen but in Terran and Orion environments they require a compressor to match the air pressure differences.)

Pity the Shiva Option can't be used as a game effect. (Why yes, I hope the Arachnids are blown to smithereens, thank you.)

Horrified Realization: This Civil War will happen while Ivan Antonov is still alive?! Eeeeeeeeeeee....

OK, so I got my wars mixed up

The gorm will be different atmosphere. Probably CO2. Haven't decided what to do about the birds yet..maybe yet another atmosphere change.

"Horrified Realization: This Civil War will happen while Ivan Antonov is still alive?! Eeeeeeeeeeee...."

Yes, yes it will

Anyone have anything approaching a map? In Death Ground has some, I think Insurrection has a few, but I'm not 100% sure on the details of which important system (all others get whatever name SE4 gives them) is which.

tesco: If no one else joins, I'll be taking the Terran Core. If one person joins that wants the core, I'll take the Ophiuchi. If TWO people join, I'll be happy and bow out.

Didn't really want to bug you for a mod that's really only a single-game thing.

Phoenix-D

That's not a problem. I got DSL so I can be much more efficent at working on these things now. About the only thing I would stay away from is a mod that gets changed all the time.

That question was for the final's

tesco: oh

at the moment I'm taking ASL I and a few other clases.. ASL is the problem child. 20 minute presentation, interview, AND a final. Ug. All in the next few weeks. So I'm not really in the mood to spend what little free time I have left working on a mod or scenerio.

If we're playing during the "Insurrection" timeline, Ivan "The Terrible" is dead.

Phoenix,

Having seen the level of changes you are proposing to 'mod' this game, why dont you just prepare a Starfire mod ?

I agree with a lot of what you were doing on the modifications. I like the idea of changing the emphasis on the point defense so that, for example, it can massacre seekers as useful but is less effective against fighters - you can then build a specialised "Di" style point defense battery which goes the other way

....and then you can start implementing the 'missile box' technology from the Crucian Star Empire!!

The Ophiuchi, Orions and Terrans can use the same life support, they just are uncomfortable in other races's preferred climates.

"The Shiva Option" has a map of the battle area in the book, and maybe at Baen Webscription's entry for it. I'll have to check.... and yes it does have maps of the area in "Chapter 37".
