General Discussion / Thematic games
« on: July 09, 2019, 10:20:37 PM »
*EDIT* Se latest post for progress. This treat is now back open for a more general sharing of themes to hold to to make games a bit more challenging or interesting in later play sessions.

*************************************************

So I've beaten the game once so far, in all the months I've been playing it on and off, and while I'm now still knee-deep in my piracy run, enjoying that sweet sweet "Piracy: HARD" feeling, I've been thinking this idea over in my head for a while. I've been enjoying myself a lot, but I've never really devoted myself to any specific 'theme' for my fleets, it's always a mix. I like everything about the various ships and systems in this game so it's been hard to decide on any place to start, and I'm unsure where to do so even.

So I've a question for the more seasoned players here.

--------------------------------------

What factions would be best suited to run a thematic game? Specifically, I wanted to limit myself to only one theme at a time, sticking to it as loyally as possible. The themes in question are as follows:

Carrier focus.
Missile barge focus.
Light-ships focus. (Frigates, gunboats, militarized civilian freighters etc.)
Medium-ships focus. (Destroyers, Cruisers, bigger freighters etc.)
Large-ships focus. (Everything above a cruiser, essentially.)
Gun-ship focus.

Keep in mind that Carriers can have the means to effectively fight themselves, but a battle-carrier that's more warship than carrier is hardly what I'd call a "carrier" myself. Also, by missile-barge I don't mean a ship with a few 1-shot torpedoes on it, I mean something that relies on missiles through the whole fight as close to 100% as possible, potential PD guns aside for instance. Tech-level for ships and weaponry is not a big deal to me, so long as the theme fits.

Any suggestions?

Modding / Help requested finding a mod
« on: April 29, 2019, 05:13:02 PM »
Forgive the possibly noobish request, but I've not been on a legit forum in... a while.

I found out about this game through a comment on some old Deviant Art page related to another great game I've played a LOT:

This lead to this image:
I know this mod existed and was playable at some point, there is a LP of it on YT:
Needless to say, I like this ship list a lot and this game looks very fun too. I'd like to get into it - however, no offence to the original game devs, I'd love to play with this ship mod, New Galactic Order. I've done searches and dug around for over 2 hours now and I can't find the original mod DL, though it has loads and loads of references all over the forum. It's not in the official mod list either, from what I can see.

So in short, can you help me find this mod's DL option, assuming it still exists? I would greatly appreciate that.

Thanks in advance,
Terenin.
