HELP! could someone make this mod?
I have a mod idea but I can't make it. It is to make the game more balanced and more fun so that you can buy a Titan and still have some challenge in the starting systems but also that you wont get creamed just trying to get to Omicron Alpha in a startracker And make other more realistic changes like people other than you smuggling artifacts and other stuff around non-hostile police and navy patrols.
Here are the following changes That I need In My Mod:
#1 There is no story mode and you always start at level 1
#2 You can choose your starting planet or in some cases stations. Depending on where you start you can choose different clothes for your character but can always choose your head. This also chooses your reputation, Starting Ship, How much of nav map is revealed (for instance starting on denver will reveal places that one from liberty might see but not hidden wrecks, jump holes, stations, or criminal/ unknown systems while starting on Crete will reveal many places friendly to corsairs or places a corsair may have been to before.). If you start on crete you get the smallest corsair ship while most planets just give a starflier.
#3 Bots now regenerate shields and it is optional for nanobots and batteries too
#4 There are now battleship and gunboat encounters but they are rare. They also have Shields that are about as strong as there hull but regenerate slowly. Transports also now have Shields.
#5 all ships are balanced and have a speed increse of 100 for engines, thrusters, and cruise engines plus 10 more speed for light fighters, Minus ten for very heavy fighters, and minus 20 for freighters. they also have similar armor ratings light fighters will have small amounts but can turn on a dime while freighters are just the opposites. so a starflier with a good pilot can take on a few titans if he's good enough. and all ships have similar cargo holds depending on weight classes.
#6 you can now find people other than you smuggling or just traveling by themselves. there team is called freelancer (note that it is singular) and it's not on the reputation list so if you attack one it will not affect the majority of them, only the one that was attacked. some of them will be seen fighting pirates but some will be seen helping them or some will have nothing to do with them.
#7 there are now escape pods but they are rare.
#8 you can now send messages to a bot like drop cargo and select what you want them to drop, sometimes they'll drop it but sometimes they'll tell you " You'r gonna Have to take it" and become hostile to you. you can also create a team with a name and ask freelancer bots to join, and if they agree then your reputation becomes there reputation and they will be waiting outside of where you are docked to follow you everytime you do a mission, otherwise they are always gone but you can call them in the bot chat list and they will appear within half a minute and form up with you. There is a limit to how many bot members can be in your group.
#8 You can create a base on a dockable planet and it shows up on the place selection at the top of the screen which is a place to store commodities and weapons for later use and can also be built in space to make an outpost but these are destructable and they make a good place to save in a hostile system. make sure you hide them away from your enemies regular patrol routes
#9 it can be hard to be allies with the blood dragons and still do missions with the bounty hunters against other pirates that have nothing to do with the blood dragons so now doing a mission with someone's enemy will not turn them hostile towards you unless it involves their team
#10 new missions including pirating shippments, protecting shipments out of a system, shipping something to another system (mission cargo), and rare Battleship or gunboat hunting missions which may include more than one or a fighter escort.
#11 new florida system, even more funny unknown system like a planet that looks like the death star and 4 neutron stars close to each other way back in the back. and I'm thinking about ship designs but I can't get that perfect Heavy Fighter.
#12 You can now join teams and by doing this can get advanced missions where you go out with a team as either a leader in that team or be a part of a group on large scale battles or Dangerous patrol missions.
So that's my mod and this is a single player mod that is not required to be in multiplayer but it would be a nice addition. I would Like this mod to be compatible with mod manager V 1.3. If you decide to make this mod please reply and when it's done you could post it in the downloads section of this site.any problems or suggestions for an addition to this mod like ship designs would be good to post here So PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE THIS MUCH NEEDED FOR FREELANCER MOD!
