Mods I'd like to see.......

[in_vino_vomitus]

An obvious one is Glow-in-the -dark masts - I'd settle for a flashing masthead light - It would make range finding easier in low light, when the masthead is the index mark - perhaps a string of Christmas lights around the top of the funnel. That would be really useful.

But the Mod I really want to see is the one that replaces the execution of a command with the words "Are you sure you want to do that sir?" or perhaps "You're kidding.... Right?" I'd call it the "Exec with a sense of self preservation" mod. Anyone feel like writing it?









P.S. I'm kidding

I was joking about both of them

There's a fine tradition in the infantry of fragging officers who are obviously going to get you killed, and I'm ashamed to say, that I've made a few tactical errors that would definitely have had me sleeping with one eye open. It was an amusing thought that if somebody wrote a Mutiny mod and I installed it, then I might well find myself seeing out the war on some mid Pacific atoll.

As for the fairy lights in the rigging idea, that was born out of my struggles to get a workable range estimate for a destroyer whose mast seemed to flicker in and out of vision. I thought it would be particularly convenient if a crewmember decided to climb up there with a torch at that exact moment, and an idea was born.

Speaking of which, since Modders, within the game at least, are basically Wizards - How about an "Invoke Obi-Wan" mod that makes Ducimus' avatar appear briefly in the control room, before floating over to the escorts ruining your day and saying "This isn't the Submarine you're looking for....."

Just a thought............

Some time ago, I suggested that ship mast tops be given a round globe (like a flag pole) to combat this flicker/shimmer thing. Nobody seemed to like the idea; one poster compared it to the gamey blinking triangles in auto-targeting. Oh well....

It's a testament to the superb job that the modding community have done that little things like this are the stuff we pick up on. For the record I'm perfectly happy with the game that I've got now. I mean, if we really wanted realism then a mod that destroyed your hard drive when your sub imploded wouldn't even be close, but it would still be too close - for most of us anyway....

That XO mod would be my downfall.
