A member of our fleet had an idea.
His name is Robert Covington and this is what he has to suggest.

Quote:

Ok, we'd have a map and we'd have 4 fleets play on it. It would be the 4 basic races right?

WRONG!

We'd host a server, invite several fleets in to play, 3 others. IRN, BK, and VSF let's say. If 2 fleets wanted to play the same race, we'd simply construct a modification that would create a game with multiple empires to suit everyone's taste. Like we'd have the IRN play roms, BK plays Klinks, then there's the VSF and SBO let's say both want to fly Feds. We'd have a modder, Ranger, Taylor, Mclauren, or myself, construct a mod with 2 fed sides, a rom side, and a klink side. The Fed sides would be hostile, if campaign rules deemed it so, making it still a fun and very playable game. Cloning a race is no problem, and this is very do-able.

Follow?

Is this even remotely possible????????
Some feedback please.

This sounds like a good idea. The only hurdle you would have to overcome would be that the two Fed races (or two klinks or two Roms ect ect) would both have the same map color. This is not something you can change as a modder. When the two blue empires touch, who has control of what hex (imagine if you use AO in this situation...) will be difficult to determine.

So there is no way to change their color to that of another race?
Oh well. It was a thought.

Can't you just remove the borg (aka DomWars) and maybe the other FED fleet could be MirrorFed?

Well you could take the Klinongs, and give them all Klingon weapons and equip, and set the commonsettings to allow the klingons to only use fed equip... then they would look and act like Feds, but their color would be red, and the screens would say thay are klingons LOL.

P.S.

If you make any race take the Borg slot, they will:

a. regenerate
b. pay nothing for repiars
c. not bank when they turn

so it's not a good idea to replace the Bortg with anything playable.

Yes, that is extremely annoying, still, the DomWars players put up with it, after all, why do Starships bank when they turn? There is no air resistance in space!!!! It's actually a waste of energy to bank!!! Okay, I know it's done because it looks good, but still.
