An artifact mod Idea

March 23, 2008 10:57:43 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

My idea:

1.When we explore the planet and found some artifact, an object will appeared in orbit instead of in the InfoCard.

2.Captial ship can obtain this artifact, and get the benifit of this artifact, sometimes only the capitalship benifited, and sometimes has area effect.(Maybe like WarCraftIII's hero).

3.Captial ship can transfer this artifact to research station for research, after research, all ships , stations or something related can get the benifit BUT less than carried it.

4.Reseach can add levels, and maybe we can use the CaptialShip's Spend Ability window to show the artifact where carried, seems at most 5 windows available now.

I've tried my idea, and make the artifact like an Ability.Entery also a mesh, and i can't make it appeared in orbit and can't make the captialship can carried it. Anyone with more MOD experience can make it?

I think that this is a great idea. It would be cool to be able to see the artifact in orbit around the planet. Having it add bonuses to ships would also open up a new strategy to the game making battles more intresting.

Several artifacts already have ship bonuses, but none as powerful as the Accelerator, which increases ship firepower by like... 12%?

Still, I think it would be an interesting mechanic. Do you lead the fleet into battle with your flagship carrying a sacred artifact, or do you keep it safely at your base?

Do you look at my idea point3?
You can make your own choice! Research it or just carried it.
And according to my idea point2, If carried can increase fleet firepower more than 12%, such as 33%. Would you take a risk to carried it? Or just safely research it at 12% Max?
