Title: Vandala's Mod Idea Collection Effort and Link Repository for Stuff I Made.
Post by: Vandala on March 28, 2012, 03:53:43 PM
Hi folks, originally this was a pony mod topic but seeing how much fun we had in dissolving that into the mess we have now, I decided to just roll with it. Let the good times roll!

I'll now be using it to collect any weird and fun idea's for game modding that I come up with myself and am able to steal from others that fancy my interests. I hope you get a laugh out of it all.

Don't forget to check out the Starfarer WIKI guys! (http://starfarer.thegamewiki.com/wiki/Main_Page)

Stuff I've contributed. You are free to take and use these. I do not own any of this stuff, everything belongs to their original owners!

Ideas for a pony mod I: Adding Solar Empire and Lunar Republic factions as a add-on mod compatible with other mods and the main game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pony character portraits. (admiral Rarity, empress Celestia, ace Rainbow dash, etc.)

Brightly colored spaceships in true pony fashion, which means with cutie marks!
Lasers and beams weapon's fire in colors to match the hair color of the pony. (which goes with the ships body color of course)

Multi-colored engine trails.
Friendship beams as most powerful weapon (think lance type)
Missile weapons explode with stars and colored smoke.
Party cannons! (2 types shooting confetti and balloons=mines, or perhaps one that shoots both as a kind of grapeshot)
Rainboom mines/missiles/cannons? Multi-colored explosions.

Here's something to set the mood. The sillyness must flow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ideas for a pony mod II: High Fantasy/Spelljammer styled mod, either total conversion or as add-on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not spaceships but starvessels powered by magic.

Main color will be White, secondary color will be Green.
Ships will basically be long or beautifully shaped marble ships with lush grassland growing on their decks and roman style buildings for housing.
Weapon mounts are open towers where unicorn arch-magi are stationed, protected by magical shields in various bright colors. (color code the type of magi stationed for weapon identification)
Weapons are unicorn arch-magi, probably belonging to the energy/missile variety. Perhaps ballistic variants are possible by means of war machines like catapults and bolt-throwers. (with magically enhanced munition)

Known for their unnaturally superb shielding and very low flux cost but have no armor whatsoever. (cannot gain benefits from armor modifications)
Or turn it around, no shields but enchanted stone construction has very high armor. (makes more sense in conjunction with the look of the shielded towers)
Engine trails are rainbows and/or clouds trailing/drifting off.
Most of their ships have very limited carrier capacity.

Classes of ships: Cloud Drifter + Star Chaser + Stellar Observatory + Celestial Temple + Lunar Guardian.
Fighter/bomber classes are different wings of Pegasus: Pegasus Wing + Royal Guard + Lunar Guard + Wonderbolts + Shadowbolts

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ideas for a pony mod III: Ponies have invaded your favorite game! Oh nooss! Fire up those space ships and hunt them down. (add-on mod)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take basic pony pictures and turn them into space ships, have fun shooting at ponies.

For example:

Ideas for Space Stallions mod: Behold the epic gayness >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Otaq2tmNMM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Think of it. A big mothership: Mother Mustang is a carrier with 4 special tiny fighters, the space stallions on their horse jet thingies that are ridiculously overpowered. Could serve as a special kind of boss for people who like an insane challenge and want a laugh at the same time.

As an extra you could also have Destructo in his weird laser-ray thing as a special boss. Firing terribly damaging energy shots halfway across the screen. And perhaps act as a carrier with infinite (or just very large) amounts of those laser-egg things.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ideas for Cars in Space mod: Watch the Heavy Metal opening track >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_KXgFpguE0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, cool, fast cars in space!!! With rocking combat music and smooth enjoyable music while driving dictionary? space.

Get some weapon strapped on those things or hide them in the headlight or something and you got yourself a cool mod idea.
There's lots of variety for this mod, history is home to many a cool looking car and you can make factions out of different styles or driver philosophies.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crazy Frog Racing Mod: Remember that annoying thing? >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNCfHKCZVy8&feature=endscreen&NR=1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember that old game Crazy Frog Racer? You could make a ship out of the little guy, all you would see is a blue frog darting dictionary? space since his ship would be invincible.

For added touch you can make the weapons hidden as well for added effect.

Maybe have big engine trails to make them a little more visible.

Maybe make a fighter wing out of the little bugger.

I can see it now, fighter wings of naked blue annoying frogs racing across the battlefield shooting missiles. So beautiful. :'(

Adding new captain portraits is actually relatively easy (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h418/DancingPhantom/blusapilotlol.png), as detailed here (http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=193.msg10388#msg10388). Just need to crop a picture of your choice and stick it into C:\Program Files\Fractal Softworks\Starfarer\starfarer-core\graphics\portraits.

Ships and factions are a little more of a hassle, but very possible. The first thing needed would be sprites; whether they be original or just re-colours. Me? I'm useless for spriting, but recolouring should be possible with minimal editing skill - it may be best to ask some of the existing spriters on the board for permission to use their work. Make sure to confirm it's all right to alter them as well, as I doubt many come standard with midnight blue/gaudy gold paint jobs and cutie marks on their tail pipes. Altering vanilla ships however should be fairly free game, if I'm not mistaken.
Then, adding (and/or modifying existing) factions will be run of the mill, there are multiple guides on how to handle it. I've been poking around with code myself, so I may be able to help, keeping in mind I'm very new to it. I could imagine swapping Hegemony with the Solar Empire and Tri-Tach with the NLR, some filler ponies for the array of standard pilot portraits...

As for weapons, they're similar to ships but I'm not completely sure - exhaust, however, is currently hardcoded and thus, sadly, cannot be rainbow yet. Saddest of days.

Edit: You know, I may have mid-read the post a little, thought it was more of a how-to question for some reason.
Well, points still stand - you can get pony portraits easily for now to hold you over for an actual mod. I'd been considering this myself, as if it weren't obvious. <w<

Post by: Vandala on March 28, 2012, 06:02:02 PM
Yeah, kind of working on stuff for another game, I have no time for this myself.

I meant in the sense of making my Zilarr race the way I want it to turn out haha, but yeah the reason I made that post was to try out other peoples way of starting out, other than my way of fighters galore. (but it's always fun to see epic fighter battles against other carrier groups  :D)

spriting is a *** when it comes to the bigger ships. also it just takes more time when you're setting up more weapon slots that larger ships tend to have. otherwise they tend to stay the same.

It's memorizing  :o, though if by editing you mean just taking an existing ship and slappin new color and putting some data on it, than yeh it's the same. But I like to (but lack the imagination and inspiration and some serious drawing capabilities [sadly D';]) draw up Original (which is hard in a site with people who have made every shape of ship) and interesting sprites that keep the theme of my mods race theme. But I'm trying to come up with things that aren't like Starfarer ships (because of things like frankenships [no offence frankenship peeps, you most likely have more creativity and better looks than me]) and things like modern ships, like ironclads.

But we're not here to talk about my mod, we're here to talk about unicorn pony things shootin rainbows out of their engines!!!

That's fairly easy to do, just need a graphic for a gun to fire this laser of beatable, yet difficultness.

People, people. I play dwarf fortress. With pony mods. Let that sink in for a moment.

There is nothing, you can tell, or show that will get to me. I've seen the very worst of this fandom, hell I'm part of the very worst.

Horse meat? Really? I have slaughtered hundreds of my little ponies with my little ponies, I've let them starve, I've forced them to fight and murder and made war, I've made them slaves amongst their own kind. That was just for fun, and I've seen worse. Such delicious colorful evil.

It's very easy. Just need a dedicated dwarf planter with a little bit of room to grow stuff, I go for 6x2 split up in six 2x1 parts. That can feed quite a few dwarfs. Have a dedicated brewer/cook and you at least won't starve. Make sure you have a dedicated miller as well. Dwarf fortress takes dedication, lots of it.

I've modded in about 5 or 6 new civilizations that trade (also 6 new races, 3 playable), a way to melt iron down to remove trace elements (nickel and platinum), a way to make mithril (from nickel and platinum), about 12 new armor types, and about 7 more megabeasts that can trick civilizations into thinking they are gods.

favorite race I created was the spiderfolk. four legs, four arms, poisonous bite, webbing, slow population growth.

You do realize that ponies can teleport right? Their ships/fleets never really take any actual casualties. Once a ship is beyond repair they just wisk themselves back to the magical land of Equestria. And planets are still untouchable right now so no luck there.

Anyway, nice looking mod, had already downloaded it (along with many others) but I haven't gotten it to work yet. I know three of the mods I got worked but some others had problems with file locations or something, other I haven't tried yet.

I do hope to amass as many mods together as possible to get a richly filled star system to plunder. To back that mishmash mod doesn't work either. Still have to look into all that.

As far as I know, only the magical ones can do this. And not many of them in fact can do it in within the specs necessary to teleport an entire building as far as I know.

There is a point in which a weapon is going to be powerful enough to both disable the ship and blow up it simultaneously. Shooting the hulk might be out of the question of course, but it's good enough.

Then Independent Defense Force will be first one to inflict so much damage, that there will be no end to casualties count.

Magic - very advanced science/knowledge that can be used without fully understanding it. Basically Magic - its advanced control of matter on molecular armor.

And a magic as all other science can be: countered, dispelled, dissipated, jammed & scrambled.

Just for clarifications sake: the most dangerous weapon one probably can come up with is not a way to destroy supermassive black hole. It's the (and my mods race has already developed this weapon) a dark matter cannon :), you put it on the hull of a ship, and since dark matter dosent follow the rules of gravity, bit it instead tears gravity away, this is a effective way to destroy planets, heck, even galaxies, since black holes are gravity. You just need enough ;D

True but that's not the point. You are ascribing attributes to stuff we literally know nothing about. Other then it has to exist somehow due to current models of reality.

Which is fine but it's no different from me waving a magic wand against that gun and saying I put a shield spell around it preventing it for affecting anything.

You just make it sound sciency to the ignorant. Which is also fine. I'd love me some dark matter guns to blow away all existence.

I somehow think reality went through the window when the game implemented spaceships. And the gate network the collpased Domain used porbably was some sort of Wormhole/Warp system.

But the difference is that though dark matter exist in reality, there's nothing stopping us from saying that it can't destroy the sun, for instance.  What i am saying here is that though we do know it exists, we don't kow it's attributes. Whihc makes us free to come up with our own, if it stays within reason (no universe destroying stuff here ;D), but only as far as it stays within this game. ;)

Post by: Vandala on March 30, 2012, 08:18:53 AM
And within reason to you means just make *** up no matter what?
We do not know the properties at all, we know that something has to be there because we cannot account for a huge percentage of mass and energy in the universe (I hope that's the right term, I always get confused with the big things).
We don't know a single property other then that it has to be the cause for the expansion of space/time, because nothing else accounts for it, that's why it's called dark energy, we know nothing about it, it's a place holder for ignorance. (I think that's what it was)

You have nothing to go on, and it's very difficult to ascribe properties to it because that would mean you could make predictions with it based on those properties which will *** up the model of reality as we have it.

*sigh* But who cares, it's only a game. Not like this game doesn't throw science mumbo jumbo around in it's lore.

Dark Matter Cannon can be easily evaded by Lambda Folding, or easily deflected by shield that provides Gravitational Interpolation, which is one of basic function of Multiphased Temporal Shield, that installed on any IDF ship. Even on weaponless shuttle. Also "tearing gravity" isn't weapon of last resort. Tearing gravity is nothing more then nullification of gravity and destruction of gluon field, that holds quarks, so it's actually nothing special :P

Basically you have a magic gun there, seeing as we know next to nothing about dark matter.
Who said that we really don't know?

And last time i checked, neither ponies nor TimCORP were a part of the human race ;D
Basically IDF is a human race, but using nanotechnologies (nanomachines), they forced evolution process for eons forwards. Physically the left same humans, anatomically their very organs and skin strengthened and got durability of diamond, while keeping original elasticity. Psychologically their mind evolved increasing processing capabilities, increasing effectiveness of original senses and adding new senses. Nanomachines were assimilated by body, while keeping original interface link and programmability, thus leaving them with same functionality quality and immunity to EMP.

We don't know a single property other then that it has to be the cause for the expansion of space/time
We do know it has zero-point fluctuations, we do know that it has mass, we do know that time within can be calculated as relative variable, that actually can be changed.

Or did i miss the day we invented Warp travel? :)
Long time ago, even couple variants of using it, one even natural ;D

I wish, and star gates, and personal space craft, and replicators, and robot bodies.
Lie down on bed, close your eyes... And here you go, you have everything :)

I want a pony body... Just for fun, it would probably not work very well but what the heck. (kinda like my hand, hooves are so useless despite what that show shows us)

Space-time it's a general description. And when time can be calculated as relative variable, this variable called "Temporal Entropy Speed" and it can either positive, either negative, for this point begins simple mathematics (kinda...).

That's a nice little race you've got there, warstalker, shame if my race would turn hostile against it ;D
My race in mod by default hostile to everybody :)

Going to let you in on a secret: whilst the IDF can go through universes, TimCORP controls at least 2 universes, and the TimCORP has very advanced technology, able to match any other.
IDF doesn't need to control universes, IDF more like explorers/protectors. You know you can't just barge between universes as you like. For more advanced explanation read IDF Files #17623 & #17549 8)

And the race has existed for ~8-10 billion years. But just to prove stuff, i will make a mission, pitting my ships vs yours ;D

IDF File #17623 - "Metasigna: Basic Understanding"
Basic Explanation:
Planet ===> Star System ===> Galaxy ===> Universe ===> Metasigna (Chain of Worlds)

More Advanced:
* All we know that star system consist from planets.
* Also we know, that galaxies are star systems, that gathered close one to each other in one places.
* Universe itself is world, with galaxies, drifting planets, space dust, asteroids, comets, black holes, worm holes and other random chaotic and anomalous things and stellar bodies.
* Universe isn't infinite, it's finite! It's bubble or other round shape of enclosed dimension(s) in to infinite shell of inter-connections, which makes it look like infinite. For example, if ships enters the one "end" of universe it exists from the opposite side relative to "end's" coordinates.
* Metasigna, it's my own word for the "Chain of Worlds". Basically all worlds exist and always moving in infinite dimension/space called Abyss, that is very basic zero particles (atoms, molecules, call it what you like) of creation. When Abyss Particles come in contact with something formed, they just turn it to Abyss, or in another words - completely destroy.
* There is a little chance of naturally established temporary connection tunnel between universes, and it's called Nexus Tunnel, and points of entrance/exit are called Nexus Gates. But some races have enough advanced technologies to create stable Nexus Tunnel between universes. There is a legends, that some ships can travel through Abyss without Nexus Tunnels and without being damaged or destroyed... Probably some Ancient or Epic ship... If you will meet up with one... Don't bother, just run and pray this thing won't go after you... Khm, so a little more technical details about Nexus Tunnels. They are indestructible, but can be closed or collapsed. If Nexus Tunnel is closed in natural or unnatural but stable way, nothing bad will happen. But also Nexus Tunnel can be closed rapidly, in other words - collapsed, and consequences will be dramatic for one of universes, probably for one, that doesn't have these very advanced technologies. Yes, universe will be collapsed/annihilated/exterminated/destroyed/nullified by Abyss, that enters in it. It can happen in several milliseconds, but also it can take millenias... Sounds familiar, no? Abyss is chaotic and unreasonable thing you know...

Now, little technical info about Metasigna:

Dimensional Factor - relative coordinates of dimensional intersection point to IDF's universe, relative X/Y/Z, showed in lambda-meters...
Temporal Point - relative temporal speed of target universe, dissipation speed of past/existence speed of present/synchronization speed of future, showed in chronoseconds.
Relative Coordinates - relative coordinates of IDF's universe movement factor to target universe, Vertical Factor/Horizontal Factor, ranges are 0~360 for each one, showed in vector meters.
Vision Factorial - at which degree, relative to "Relative Coordinates" IDF's core "sees" the target and vice-versa.
Absolute Timeline - absolute existence timeline of IDF's universe in currents of Abyss dimension. Must be more than zero for universe to exist. Showed in metachronons.


IDF File #17549 - "The Abyss: Basic Conception Explanation"
The one main and absolute conception of Abyss - it's absolute chaos. In other words, absolute disorder and always contradictions to any physical laws available, thus making them useless for understanding of conception of Abyss.

In one of my posts, I've already explained that universe it is a bubble or other round shape of enclosed dimension(s) in to infinite shell of inter-connections to exist in Abyss. Universe can be formed in natural way, or can be constructed. Yes, you not misread, universe can be formed naturally in Abyss.

Abyss itself is single multidimension (one dimension with limitless dimensions within it) with negative metrics (like -3, -12,6 => for each Abyss Particle dimensional metrics are always negative and always different, you will never find two Abyss Particles with same dimensional metrics), absence of stable movement vector (every chronon, movement vector of Abyss Particles changes and again for each particle it's different) in addition these particles never collide with each other by themselves. That means, every positive value, every particles that consist in some hierarchy (like structure of Iron => core consist of neutrons and protons and orbited by electrons) are instantly destroyed/dispersed/nullified/converted (to Abyss Particles) when come in contact with Abyss Particles, while Abyss Particles are left intact and unchanged or even increased in their amounts.

In other words, even most advanced armor composites will be destroyed in instant and even most advanced shields, that could withstand impact of a stellar converter beam, will be dispersed in instant by Abyss Particles. Something that effective against weapons, won't be effective against Abyss, because Abyss - it's not weapon, it's different form of existence itself, that is complete opposite to stable laws and formulas.


Chronon - minimal time unit. Every chronon new amount of parallel universes (do not misunderstand with Metasigna) equals to amount of current parallel universes multiplied by sum of amounts of available actions and choices for each universe. It's standard theory that shows all variants of consequences with all variants and combinations of choices. (UTOTAL)new=(UTOTAL)current*?(UACTIONS/CHOICES).

I see that trained monkeys did are leading the IDF? ;D, anyhow, nexus tunnels is a really old technology, the TimCORP uses a technology known as "spacebending", which uses the TimCORP warp drives, modified for traversing universes. It creates a warp bubble around the ship in which it goes faster than the time-space can keep up, and therefore it "phases out", so to say. And the TimCORP has encountered one of those ancient epic races. Let's just say that it didn't go well for the epic ones and TimCORP got themselves a galaxy. And no, I am not going to disclose a TimCORP file, as those are classified as top-secret, only to be viewed by the CEO and vice-CEO.

Nope, it's just what trained monkeys of TimCORP think ;D

nexus tunnels is a really old technology,
Except the fact, that very great amount of tunneling technologies called "nexus tunnels", I'm sure you didn't even tried to understeand, about which of "Nexus Tunnels" I speak. Nexus tunnels explained by me are contradiction to all physical laws, due the fact that they can exist in within Abyss.

TimCORP uses a technology known as "spacebending", which uses the TimCORP warp drives, modified for traversing universes. It creates a warp bubble around the ship in which it goes faster than the time-space can keep up, and therefore it "phases out", so to say.
You can't use for travel between within Abyss something that based on physical laws or their manipulation. For traveling withing Abyss you need something that counters Abyss Particles.

Upgradecap, maybe you were speaking about traveling between galaxies? If yes, then it makes sense.

And the TimCORP has encountered one of those ancient epic races.
IDF encountered lots of ancient races, and explored lots of universe. But IDF never attacked anyone without reason. And lots of times just passed by and didn't even contacted these races. So most of them doesn't even know about IDF.

Let's just say that it didn't go well for the epic ones and TimCORP got themselves a galaxy.
So it was a galaxy and not universe :)

And no, I am not going to disclose a TimCORP file, as those are classified as top-secret, only to be viewed by the CEO and vice-CEO.
There is no need for it :) IDF discloses only limited information that means no harm to themselves :)

Deep discussions by trained monkeys ;D, Let's just say that ancient races pose no threat to the TimCORP, as they have been able to build a HYDRAE-class battlestation, which only exists in Hyperphase space. According to the TimCORP theory of abyss and contraditction, hyperspace  combined with phasespace can contradict even abyss-particles, which allows these battlestations to exist anywhere, including between universes. And as they are equipped with a cannon whose information i cannot disclose to the IDF, they can rip apart universes, much like the way black holes do, execpt for in a bigger scale, using technology to their advantage. They are suprisingly fast thanks to their hyperdrives which leades the IDF without such an advantage. The explanation for why so many of your fleets are missing. The TimCORP knows all and sees all. They know, for example your fleet buildups in the milkyway, just for instance. ;D

Let's just say that ancient races pose no threat to the TimCORP, as they have been able to build a HYDRAE-class battlestation, which only exists in Hyperphase space.
What size of battlestation?

According to the TimCORP theory of abyss and contradiction,
:-\ TimCORP don't have such theory... Otherwise, If they did had it, they've tried to find application to it and not try to create warp drives, modified for traversing universes.

hyperspace combined with phasespace can contradict even abyss-particles,
If TimCORP did had theory of abyss and contradiction, they knew that combining of hyperspace and phasespace is completely useless action. Nothing can benefit the combination of hyperspace and phasespace, only if you want to slowdown your ships, or stop them at all...

which allows these battlestations to exist anywhere, including between universes.
It means TimCORP has been traveling only inside universe...

And as they are equipped with a cannon, they can rip apart universes, much like the way black holes do, execpt for in a bigger scale, using technology to their advantage.
Destroying universe isn't a big deal... But creating is... Also FYI, black holes can't destroy universe, on the opposite side, they actually stabilizing the universe, allowing it go through cycles of "life".

They are suprisingly fast thanks to their hyperdrives.
Inside the universe.

The explanation for why so many of your fleets are missing.
Because you need to upgrade navigation systems on your ships or create one big navigation buoy.

They know, for example your fleet buildups in the milkyway, just for instance.
IDF remodeled their own universe centuries ago in order to make it stable, and now it looks like this:
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd518/WarStalkeR/IDF/Universe_NE13-X.png)

Post by: Upgradecap on March 30, 2012, 01:27:29 PM
We switched to reality??? I'm actully surprised now :D, Answers to your questions 1. The size of the battlestation is approx. the size of a Neutron Star, which is very big.
2. (I'm guessing we're all coming up with random things here, right? ;D) TimCORP has alot of things that they keep secret, but if you don't want to belive the theories, fine. Don't blame me for not warning you when your fleets keep disappearing. The warpdrives they use to traverse universes are cheap and costeffecient, but there are many other ways which are much more advanced.
3. TimCORP has a theory for almost everything, and don't blame me when TimCORP ships start taking your universe from the inside. The TimCORP can create their own dimensions, according to IDFs own quantumphysics-theory.
4. These battlestations are really classified information, and if i tell you about how they operate, i will probably get destroyed by the TimCORP. No info there, no ;D.
5.Destroying universes not a big deal?! ok............
6.Inside the universes. Outside aswell.  Say, is that a fly on your shiny IDF battleships sensors? :D, it appears to be growing in size....... ;D
7. Navigation charts are not needed for the TimCORP (or, atleast not as you know them, no). Again, this is classified information ;).
8.IDf remodeled their own planet. We know your strengths, your weaknesses, and your plans. All thanks to spies ;)
9. If we are going to have a serious, literate discussion, then give me some time to find the correct information.
Oh and that sphereworld of yours..... Consider it to be raided within the day ;)

(you really don't know about the TimCORP theories, do you? Anyways, good discussion here :))

Yeah. Well, as i was describing above, TimCORP can extract energy from both dark matter and dark energy. Which make up about 70% of a universe. TimCORP can literaly suck out the energy of a universe and leave everyone inside to die horrible. Hey, that's not a bad idea, i'll propose it to the CEO immediately ;D

I will tell you... For IDF it's Einsof Power Generator, if you want, later I can write concept of how it built and how it works to produce almost infinite amounts of energy.

I doubt that would meet the energy requirement for annihilating a whole universe. Actually I'm 100% positive on that.
And you damn right.

Yeah. Well, as i was describing above, TimCORP can extract energy from both dark matter and dark energy.

Extract dark matter from other universes, that is ;D, Though there have been cases when the TimCORP more than once had to flee a unvierse thanks to failure in safe dark energy collection........

You know what fine, sure you can completely annihilate an entire universe within a decade. You know how? You subjugate all matter and energy of an entire neighboring universe and turn that into a cannon of some sort that can somehow fire a single blast before becoming useless and with that you can wipe out a single universe. There. And you know what, you still can't do it. And no it's not just the construction, which will take forever, it's also the means by which you fire the damn thing which will probably take a few million years, yes, the firing method you use to set this thing lose will take milions of year just to complete. Then it will do what ever it's supposed to do which will also take very, very long to take effect.

All simply due to the size of everthing your dealing with. Are you seeing how silly the concept of universal warfare is?

What y'all think of this?

Separate Spaceship Design Idea: High Fantasy Style.

Main color will be White, secondary color will be Green.
Ships will basically be long or beautifully shaped marble ships with lush grassland growing on their decks and roman style buildings for housing.
Weapon mounts are open towers where unicorn arch-magi are stationed, protected by magical shields in various bright colors. (color code the type of magi stationed for weapon identification)
Weapons are unicorn arch-magi, probably belonging to the energy/missile variety. Perhaps ballistic variants are possible by means of war machines like catapults and bolt-throwers. (with magically enhanced munition)
Known for their unnaturally superb shielding and very low flux cost but have no armor whatsoever. (cannot gain benefits from armor modifications)
Or turn it around, no shields but enchanted stone construction has very high armor. (makes more sense in conjunction with the look of the shielded towers)
Engine trails are rainbows and/or clouds trailing/drifting off.
Most of their ships have very limited carrier capacity.

Classes of ships: Cloud Drifter + Star Chaser + Stellar Observatory + Celestial Temple + Lunar Guardian.
Fighter/bomber classes are different wings of Pegasus: Pegasus Wing + Royal Guard + Lunar Guard + Wonderbolts + Shadowbolts

   Most definitely not hating (look at my name) but I think your going about this wrong. I haven't read through the whole thread, but it looked like from your first post you wanted a very clear cut and hardcore theme for this. I think it would work better with less pony focus, and more of the feel different factions would have.
   If you went with, say, New Lunar Republic, Discords Revolt, and Old Solar Empire, I would see OSE being medium weight, fast and maneuverable, and beam focused. Also, they would use a bright and warm color pallet, like gold white and pink. NLR would be opposite, with dark blues purples and blacks, I can see more productively shaped, angular ships, covered with armor with highly advanced solid shell ballistic weapons. For DR, I can see crazy, asymmetrical designs, alot like the junk pirates. They could have a pallet like red brown and silver. Maybe be kinetic missile oriented, with huge, high explosive cannons and little armor.
   If someone made a mod like that, I would ride it to the moon. (lololololololol you saw it coming too huh) Of course you could have crazy effects with different kinds of color and light, like sparkles and dust clouds, maybe make the com trails huge on OSE ships, idk, get crazy with it. But I don't think a lot of people would go for what your trying to do.

You wouldn't have to scrap it, just tone it down a little.  8)

*Pony middle finger*  
LOL, all of my love man. Sorry you had to see that. How old are you anyway? That video is actually really, really funny with a ton of reference to older cartoon series. It makes you remember "Ren & Stimpy" amongst other things.

  Most definitely not hating (look at my name) but I think your going about this wrong. I haven't read through the whole thread, but it looked like from your first post you wanted a very clear cut and hardcore theme for this. I think it would work better with less pony focus, and more of the feel different factions would have.
   If you went with, say, New Lunar Republic, Discords Revolt, and Old Solar Empire, I would see OSE being medium weight, fast and maneuverable, and beam focused. Also, they would use a bright and warm color pallet, like gold white and pink. NLR would be opposite, with dark blues purples and blacks, I can see more productively shaped, angular ships, covered with armor with highly advanced solid shell ballistic weapons. For DR, I can see crazy, asymmetrical designs, alot like the junk pirates. They could have a pallet like red brown and silver. Maybe be kinetic missile oriented, with huge, high explosive cannons and little armor.
   If someone made a mod like that, I would ride it to the moon. (lololololololol you saw it coming too huh) Of course you could have crazy effects with different kinds of color and light, like sparkles and dust clouds, maybe make the com trails huge on OSE ships, idk, get crazy with it. But I don't think a lot of people would go for what your trying to do.

You wouldn't have to scrap it, just tone it down a little.  8)
I detect no hate (ignoring 7007King0770).

This mod topic is a lot of things, and I'll be changing a few thing soon enough, keep a look out. It's originally a place for me to ask people that actually have the time and skill for modding starfarer to build a pony mod for the community. It kind of dissolved into a lot of fun! I really don't mind any of it. Also there are a lot of ways you can go with pony mods, you can play it strait up sci-fi and build a pony race as aliens, you can go full fantasy and have magic ships, you can make joke mods that fire friendship beams, you can make a mod that puts a picture of a pony up as the ship itself so you can shoot at it. It's all good to me. I'll keep your idea's for consideration and steal whatever I like.

If ponies will be found in space, I will make sure, that Independent Defense Force... hunts... each... last... one... of... them... and puts their annihilation on top of the highest priority objectives list.
P.S. No offense...

YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!!
I LOVE THE Independent Defense Force.  ( no big secret on this board, I LOVE THIS MOD!! )  ;D

YES The commander has spoken.  Each and every member of the IDF owes our commander 100 pony tails ( AND HE WANTS HIS TAILS!!! )   :o

What? WHY???   Face it, horse dwarf is just peace of meat, it's food. And food need to be properly prepared, served and eaten. So, someone like heads, someone like tails, someone like meat etc. Meat is REALLY good just need to chew it little bit longer then other food.

Just a little suggestion.

Could you, at least in the future, put up 2 or 3 example pictures in the post for each of these resources you upload?

For example I have no idea how Tyrian 2000 sprites or Warhammer Gothic ships look like and it'd be preferable to get an idea of how they look without downloading the entire pack.

Putting up pictures is a hassle, it's not like those things are mods anyway, they don't need to lure people into getting them, they are resources.

Is it really that much effort to just download them? With todays Internet speeds and storage capabilities these things are nothing to be worried about.

Yes; see below.

With todays Internet speeds and storage capabilities these things are nothing to be worried about.

Get over your cultural chauvinism, please. For those of us with effectively Third World bandwidth (myself among them), it IS a hassle and downloading speculatively is out of the question. I can't cater to your disinterest or laziness. If your own bandwidth is so abundant, then yes you can definitely afford to slow down and post a couple of image previews with your linked content. Thanks for your consideration.

Don't take me to serious, I just did that because of "cultural chauvinism".  ;)

I keep forgetting that a lot of people still have to deal with download speeds I haven't seen since I was still in school. Probably worse then that.

Indeed so; thanks very much for those previews. Much more user-friendly for the bandwidth-disadvantaged -- I appreciate your help.

? [-shrug-] Whatever.

(edit: simulpost temporal vortex)
Well, you surely used a serious emoticon there. Thanks for the belated clarification though. [-baffled-] Onward and upward, then.  :)

In far more places than you'd realize, definitely worse.

Life stinks when one is firmly mired well within sub-megabit speed territory. Or, God forbid, dial-up (which, incredibly, is all that far too many folks have available). I've already caused problems for myself by downloading too many game mods (Starfarer and others) this last month - even though none of them would be considered "huge" by the younger set - and have to be very economical for the rest of this billing period. I kinda assumed that by the time I would be this age, this "cool new online stuff" would have attained a more even level of quality, robustness and affordability across the globe, but that turned out not to be the case. :-\

It makes one very reluctant to download much of anything one's not truly committed to, because that can become a noticeable chunk of one's monthly allotment, and also a venture which routinely takes several hours to finish. Assuming the craptastic line quality doesn't kill my d/l in the middle (thanks, undermaintained old copper telephone lines).

Sorry for the minor threadjacking, mate. So:

Not all emotions are silly on the internet. ::) And thanks again (truly) for the new preview images.

(Even though it is not nearly as bad for me as it is for Archduke Astro - I'm glad that I those times are a distant memory for me.)

You know what would be nice for people with bad connection? More stuff that just changes the vanilla game without graphics. Text files are basically free even if you have the worst of the worst connection.
