Along the "Vong forming" idea - i was just thinking that the Republic has never taken over a Vong formed planet. In the game the Republic should be able to take ofer vong planets. When the vong take over a Republic planet or a planet with technologie onboard it will take a few turns to make it receptive to Vong technology. The start should compose of the Republic owning most of the galaxy but having a pathetic fleet. The vong should start with a large fleet (because of the worldships matanence is raised) an a few planets(mabye one full sector). R and D for the Republic side should consist of: Troops - leading up to Lando's Vong robots Ships - expanding internal compensators, modifying laser strenght (more shots), the newest shield tech(shields that turn on and off quickly to prevent sucking) and the tech that hasent been tested yet, the Yammosk Jammer Facilities - booby traps for vongforming delay and the old-fasion more efficent buildings recurting characters could be trying to find new characters and getting people to return from retirement... And for the vong would be promotiong current characters and creating new characters from the troops. Vong Troops could include: Voxyn Vong warriors Preists and so on And Republic troops: Jedi warriors and so on The idea with factions is a good idea and i think that some of the factions could be as follows: Vong Republic Imperial Remenant Hutt's Peace Brigade Hapons Corellians Both sides will be able to send diplomats to their space to attempt to win them over to their sind at any time ar just go in and take over. While the game is in progrres one could try to get the leaders to betray their current masters (sabataging ships, letting fleets go by "undetected" and other things) the ability to capture ships should be a posibilityin this game(the vong allies could capture ships from the other side due to the vong's hatred of technology. sabatage missions for the Republic could be "modifying" the masses of vong ships to confuse sensors and vong could plant various creatures on republic ships. Eventually the vong will have to kill off all technologie and vice versa. I think that that would be a good end of the game. People shuld post technical names of all vong tech and all tech used by the republic (ships in perticular so it is know what is able to be built) These are only my ideas (I could also think of some more over time) Mabye we should make this a more than 2 player game ar an option to do so option. Also if a team is put together to start all the technical work and hashing out the detales. We could start a sign up sheet somewhere? Just an idea...
