new utility frigate

deepspace miner

from Sins Forums

I have been putting this Idea though a lot of thought and the only instance I have seen My Ideat was in the Malestrom mod that I cannot now get to work within the new update.

My Idea is a utility frigate that will go out to astroid belts and gas giants that you cannot colonize and set up a small minebase that will act simmilar to a trade port.

this is in no way like a starbase but the frigate will be lost in the even of conversion into a mineing base and once converted will slowly take over the neutral extractors in the local gravity well and will support transports like trade transports only they will only be moving back and forth betwin the mining platform and the extractors.

I'm not sure how to code this, but you could have a frigate spawn a frigate and then make itself dead. The spawned frigate would have no engines and would look like a structure, and yet it would bring a small amount of income (maybe 1 credit per sec?) through a passive ability.

Try that.

Look at Soase-Maelstrom's Norlaminian Terran Miner for an example.

I'm sure Maelstrom will be updated to 1.3x eventually. Just give the modders some time, and at least with Maelstrom you have the non-Diplomacy versions you can still play.

will it work though the trinity by playing entrenchment?

Yes.

They haven't updated Entrenchment for a while.

just tried putting it into entrenchment and it minidumped on me so I will just wait for it to be updated

There are extra lines in the Diplomacy files that cause Entrenchment to dump.

Make sure that you are using the Entrenchment version in Entrenchment.
