Corporations

[civ editor11]

I say corporations should be species.

 

[TC01]

Err... why?

The mechanic of corporations is: process resources for other resources or another bonus. How does this fit species?

There are plenty of good Star Wars corporations to make, well, corporations...


If you want to implement species, they should be resources. Like in the Civ 3 Star Trek mod, different races were actually resources, and each civ's starting star system had a resource of that species.

 

[civ editor11]

I guess that could work just we're getting way to many resources

 

[TC01]

Oh... you mean the resources identifying a planet as unique? We're not using those. I've been able to implement the system by using script data, landmarks, and buildings in cities instead. (Or rather, I will be as soon as I start coding it).

 

[civ editor11]

Okay thanks for telling me that one corporation should be Kuat Drive Yards that should allow for building super star destroyers

 

[TC01]

Okay thanks for telling me that one corporation should be Kuat Drive Yards that should allow for building super star destroyers

Then should I not use Kuat as a planet? Or should it be that both holding Kuat and having KDY lets you build stuff? I can make it that when a corporation spreads into a city it builds the BUILDING_KUAT that is also assigned when you settle the planet.

 

[civ editor11]

Kuat shouldn't be a planet correct

 

[Jawa'sRevenge]

Kuat Drive Yards is located on
* Kuat
* Belderone=AT-AT
* Gyndine=Research
* Karavis=Regional Shipyard
* Xa Fel=Hyperdrives
* Rothana=capital ships, combat vehicles, and gunships.
* Balmorra=AT-ST, other combat vehicles
They are responsible for...
All Star Destroyers (Imperial I,II, Assamator, Eclipse, Eclipse II, Executor...)

 

[civ editor11]

Star destroyers can only be created if you have kuat drive yards no matter what civilization
What resource should you need to get kuati drive yards
To build Yts(Yt-2400, Y-5100, and Y-1300) you need corellian engineering
what resource for this one also

 

[TC01]

Resources like titanium? (the resources from asteroids). You can add more (Star Trek for instance added a Plasma resource required to build the Transwarp Corridor route).

What about corporations like Cybot Galactica, Industrial Automaton? They could be more traditional corporations and give bonus production (representing droids).

 

[civ editor11]

Those are two corporations that would work
I just need to know what resource to put for them

 

[T_KCommanderbly]

is it possible for you coding guys to put in a species tab like the religions and corporations?

and here are some corporations...

Mon Calamari Shipyards: Make Mon Calamari Cruisers (heavy batteship for the Rebal Alliance) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_Shipyards

Incom Corporation: they make x wings and other fighters vehicleshttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Incom_Corporation

Arakyd Industries: made all sorts of droids http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arakyd_Industries

Baktoid Industries: they made the B1 and B2 battledroids they made most of the Confederacies stuff http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Baktoid_Combat_Automata

Corellian Engineering Corporation: they made all sorts of transports and freighters for trading
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_Engineering_Corporation

BlasTech Industries: Made all sorts of firearms and Weapons http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/BlasTech_Industries

Tagge Company: Made Stuff but more importantly it was a major mining organization and harnessed resources http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tagge_Company

And i know about half of these are subs off the techno union, but if we just had techno union, it was easily be a monopoly

 

[civ editor11]

Heres the current corporation list

Mon Calamari Shipyards: Adds happiness with Luxury liners http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_Shipyards

Incom Corporation: they make x wings and other fighters vehicles http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Incom_Corporation

Techno Union: they make most droids and many ships http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Techno_Union

Zaltin Corporation: adds health and units heal faster (resource has Bacta) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Zaltin_Corporation

Tendrano Arms: allows advanced droids to be built (resource has Laminanium) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tendrando_Arms

Arkayd Industries: builds medium rank droids http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arakyd_Industries

Czerka Arms: makes different weapons for spies http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Czerka

 

[TC01]

is it possible for you coding guys to put in a species tab like the religions and corporations?

Probably not. I can add the tab via python but to do what you describe would require an incredible overhaul of the game, in python, XML, and SDK, and I'm a novice in C++ coding (and even for people experienced in it, I bet it would be pretty hard). And anyway, what would be special about species to justify giving them a seperate category?

That's why mechanically bonuses (translation: resources) work best, I think.

 

[civ editor11]

Yeah i say species should be bonuses. That was a good idea TC01

 

[Jawa'sRevenge]

Mon Calamari Shipyards: Make Mon Calamari Cruisers (heavy batteship for the Rebal Alliance) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mon_Calamari_Shipyards

Remember that the MonCals are not war like and only are making the cruisers due the enslavement and poor treatment of the MonCals by the Empire (They are converted pleasure liners)

And i know about half of these are subs off the techno union, but if we just had techno union, it was easily be a monopoly

It is

Resources like titanium?

Durasteel is a common shipbuilding material

One idea on starships have hyperdrive upgrade promotions that allow a ship to travel faster through hyperspace (can only be done on certain planets of course)

 

[TC01]

Making all of that Techno Union would free up other corporation spots- do we have other ideas for corporations that can replace them?

Remember not all corporations have to do the same thing (like allowing units to be built).

 

[Jawa'sRevenge]

Zaltin Corporation based on Thyferra made bacta for the galaxy

SoroSuub Corporation made many common tech goods based in Sullust

Koensayr Manufacturing made starship components 1/5 of all star ships have a component from these guys and Y-Wings

 

[civ editor11]

I changed the list. Does anyone think something else should be added?

 

[Jawa'sRevenge]

Zaltin Corporation: adds health (resource has Bacta) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Zaltin_Corporation

Could allow unit to heal faster as well
