Project: outdated post (delete)

So, this is in essence supposed to be an additional minor civ that the player cannot interact with? Sounds good. Will they have orbital and planetary infrastructure, or will they be limited to the ships they start with?

sounds cool, what are their ships gonna be like?

Okay, I finished it, and just uploaded it, and it includes a version that you get to play, so that you can immediately see the fleet setup and discover their strengths and weaknesses...

There are just a few ships (using stock graphics, but I dug a bit and used a planet-elevator as a siege platform, and a Tech probe as a scout...

They have these ships:

Entok Central Command gives abilities and antimatter to the fleet
Control Ship like above, but you can take it with you in battle
Destroyer Think Lysians from Trek (lots of weak ships that link shields together to keep themselves alive)
Cruiser Target ship, keeps you from losing something important
Siege Platform overpowered for the local militia, but I put it in anyway

The ships are only good in force, as it's supposed to be their entire armada defending their planet, and they can hold off a Marza on Terran worlds... If you destroy their central command, you can just wipe them up after that...

I added two new explosion definitions, that make them explode so sweet, and a few other minor touches here and there...

Also, for anyone who wants a mine graphic, one of the planet-elevators looks like a 6-sided spikey mine I think it's the Psi-CultureCenter???

Oh, and I made it so that they sometimes colonize their planet, but they don't go invading other worlds yet (unless a standard computer player plays them)...

OOPS, the computer messed up my formatting, here are the ships again:

Central Command.......Lynch-Pin design, destroy this and they will fall faster
Control Ship..........Humans play this one, most important if you leave the system
Destroyer.............Uses Light Mesh
Cruiser...............Uses Tradeship Mesh
Siege Platform........Uses Planet-Elevator Mesh, looks cool too
Scout.................Humans play this one, but it will be destroyed immediately

It's just my first attempt, if I get it so I can use my own meshes, then this will really take off, until then, I could try and make mini Vasari and Advent militias, or would that even make sense??? :NOTSURE:
