Now, what im also looking at, is challenging gameplay, and how this will effect it. Naturaly, if you don't like a mod, don't use it, right? Well, i do like this mod, so im trying to figure out how to apply it in such a way to preserve challenging gameplay.
I think on lone neutral ships, this would work great! Hositpal ships espeically. But now think of a night surface attack against a convoy. One of the risks you run, is accidently torpedoing a neutral ship, if any happen to be in there. For the most part i think most neutural have been removed from convoys, but i can't say for sure. So on the assumption theres a neutral in there, how now he's light up like a christams tree while the rest of the convoy is in blacked out. So the danger of accidently torpedoing a neutral ship has been totally removed.
It all varies on what you want really. If your designing your game to where you want to present that risk to the player, then lite up neturals becomes an issue. On the otherhand if you didnt want that risk in your game to begin with, then your've probably removed all neutrals from convoys, at which point my concern over challenging gameplay is irrelvant  |
Agreed Decimus
I have removed all neutrals from my convoy because I have just replaced the neutral darkened ships with the lit ones in their rosters - not just the completely neutral but have added them to US as lit ships while they are neutral but the original darkened ships take over when the US enters the war, have done the same with most of the other countries too such as the Dutch,Norway and Greece to name a few
You could go thru the rnd and scr layers to change all single neutral ships to lit ones and leave the convoys alone
A lot of work but depends on how you want to play
I totally agree Anvart has done a great job with this and his other lit ships and I hope he continues to do them all - tho if he doesnt I will be more than happy with his great work so far
