Hi,
I have been going over the last touchups for my 3 new races for my StarFall mod and had a thought to make them different from each other by having each race concentrate on a certain kind of weapon. Phase using wave energy and extra hard hulls, Advent using beams and shields, Tech using rail guns and heavy armor, Diplomats with normal hull and shields using their take over ability to protect them and to be an offense as well before they are killed, the Infectors using the virus attack (volatile nanaites) and Snare-Shields (phase-out hull) and the Traders using missiles for attack, but what are they using for protection?
I have a 6th race, but am not off the top of my head remembering what is the 6th protection? I'm sure im missing something and will go back and dig in the files and find something, but just off the top of my head i cant remember what?
Anyone remember what else is used to protect?
Or i could do like with the Diplomats and use an offensive ability increased to allow them a margin to beat back the enemy before dying. Just thinking out loud.
Anyway, thanks for listening, take care and keep modding!!!!
