Ok the purpose of this thread would be to help people who want to make a suggestion about additions to PDS and the game know what the engine CAN and CANNOT do. This would make it alot easier for people who do not program in PDS to understand what is possible and what can only be in fiction. This would also help in preventing arguments between people about what to put in the mod even if they have no idea if it can be done. I will place what I know here and update it periodically with whatever else is said. THE ENGINE CAN DO.... 1. Ships can be nearly limitless size, the exception being Continent Sized ships. THE ENGINE CANNOT DO... 1. The spheres representing the radar/visual range of a ship cannot be any shape but a sphere. Edited by Warman1 on 20-09-2005 21:50 |

2. Ships can be of nearly limitless size (Check out the SSD Executor in Warlords, or your ingame Progenitor capships/Balcora's Gate if you're too lazy to get Warlords) I doubt we can make ships the size of the wreck in the map Kharam Wreck, though.

Exception to 2. They cannot be Continent Size, I'm sorry to say. According to one of the advanced modders at Tanis, he had to hack the game in order to import a ship over ten times the size of the HGN-02. I guess there's your ceiling  |

You should post that in the community suggestions threads. There are two of them - in any case, I would let the resident science experts study that. |

Flak animation can do that. (also thinks suggestion should be moved to community ideas) |
