we can't mod the win condition i think unless you mak an habilitie that destroy the enemy worlds at the end of the count down or when the flag reach your world

  Go Justin!!!!!!  

I'll play it!!!

if it works then count me in! as a suggestion, though, have the target each team needs to capture at the other's homeworld    perfection

I would LOVE this kind of game mode. I used to play Star Trek Armada doing this all the time. It was a lot of fun, and I would love to see it in Sins.

Maybe it would be better if you kept the game how it is with the exception of the flags.....

as long as we're all suggesting cool mods, how about the whole line of halo mods? you know, ctf, king of the hill, and for slayer its a normal ffa... but you start with a certain amount of a variety of ships ON THE SAME HOMEWORLD with NO EXIT PHASE LANES!! Goes against everything sins was made for, but these are all TC mods anyway

But having it a stationnary item would turn this into a "King of the Hill' sort of game, whilst the whole purpose of Capture the flag is to capture the flag (in this case a slow moving vessel) and by using tactics and diversion, bring it safely home!

Well, my method was to add one or two asteroids in each grav well (except for homeworlds, all other planets are black holes or asteroid belts), and you use your capture vessel (another one since you do have ONE frigate factory only) to capture those extractors which will give you a "look' into the grav well.

But as you say, Ill have to find a way to sort of 'Highlight' the captureable ships mouvements! Sounds like a challenge!

Their still up and running dont worry, just w8ing for entrenchement until I do the final conversion of everything and add the few remaining items!

But as of now, Capture the Flag, was a childhood game that I used to play soooooooooooooo much, so trying to bring it back to the awesome game that SoaSE is would be insane!

Imagine starting your Sins game and instead of having the usual free for all, team battle...you have new modes, like Capture the Flag, Fortress Assault,etc...now wouldnt that bring a new dimension  

It will be as active online as it has followers willing to test it out! And so far, Im more than pleased with the amount of replies I got on this thread !

Who knows with some string pulling and lots of support, we could probably ask devs a way of adding new gaming 'modes' into Sins! Might take some work programming it....but hell, were the ones actually designing the modes ! So its a win-win situation for them!

They add something people have been asking for sooooo long, and in exchange they get a bunch of new gaming variants! Paradise at last!!!

Well....hum...what could I have you do!

1) I have the basic starter map (just need to add 1 crystal/metal extractor on each asteroid belt) and change starting files and all to only have one structure (frigate factory) at start and not be able to build anything else. SO BEWARE IF WE BUST YOUR STRUCTURE! Ship health and damage will be dropped accordingly to give the Factory the impression of God-Like structure...only takeable through massive force (20+ ships). 

2) I have on paper the ship stats of the 3 primary vessels (Tank, scout, capturer)

Thinking about it, the only "coding" I would need help on is a "marker" on the capture ship...sort of it being visible wherever it is by both teams! OR, have 2 extractors in each grav well, and have each team start of with 1 in each! That way at start, you could see the entire map, and everything going on, and it would add flavor to actually have to, as the game progresses, take the opposing extractor in order to gain extra ressources and deny the view of a certain grav well to opposing team?!

That sound easier to do? Or do we try tagging?

  a ship with a "capture ability"  sounds very very cool, can i bribe you to tell me how you did it?  It sounds neat, i could make one and run around capturing everything!!!     Well, at least like 7DS, it would be cool for extra ships that could be planted across the system. 

Thank you and let me know how the mod is going, want some help on it?  But you are probably better than me anyway, but i could do something.    Maybe Cheer from the Sidelines!!!!  Yay!!   Go Go Go!!!!
