Mod ideas? Another official update?

[Riekopo]

Just wondering if there is a modding scene for this game. It's clear there are alot of ideas for tweaks to the game and some of them are small tweaks.

Like increase Fleet cap in Campaign. Skirmish mode enemy Fleet randomizer. Fully unlocked Blueprints (including Modern Ships) for Campaign.

Another complaint I've seen a lot is the Mercury Class being underwhelming and poorly laid out compared to the show version.

They really should release at least one more small update for the game. Some of the community requests would probably not be very hard for them to do.

Actually, you are asking for a huge upgrade. That is not going to happen. As for mods, I think that question is dead. Its just beating a dead horse.

To expand on reply #1 with mods: The developers have stated in the past that there is no support for modding with this game on any official level, so that's why it's beating a dead horse with a stick, as it has been brought up before and answered.

Primarily the reason for it is to make sure you can't do what you suggested, by bringing modern ships into the campaign mode for example or fiddle with the balance. The game is designed in exactly the way the publisher wanted it and that's how it will remain unfortunately.

meh. . . .good to dream.

Personally, I wish there was a step between the Adament and the Artemis. Maybe 1000pt ship with one squadron slot and one utility slot?

If I was starting fresh. . . .the Artie really needs four squadrons (and other ships scaled similarly). . . that would make it far easier for more "intermediate" ship variety.

But as it stands. . .I am very impressed with the balance of the game as it stands.

well I was also dreaming back and forth about a last kind of farewell update, where the devs unlock Munition from each side for the other & unlock all ships from the beginning a a new campaign... especially the orion as being my favorite ship felt so lost because it's unlocked so late in ghost fleet offensive so you can't use it in the normal campaign at all...
it should have been an option like turning on/off veterancy for example, same goes for the Munition... I would have loved to use the cluster nukes on my orion or the cluster bombs or the virus mines to make it a true electronic warfare frigate... it's also very unfortunate that there seems to be no possibility to mod the game at all via the game files, like swapping turret variants (light turrets with PDC's for example)
would have been a joy to play around with all that :/

Their are alot of modding communities that exist in a game that did not support mods. UBI SOFT and Far Cry 5 is an example.

They do not support mods for their games, yet they have a thriving community, because of how good the base game is.

Not one GTA game supports mods either, but you know how that goes.

I know previously it was said that there is no mod support, but that is not true.
The truth is that modding is prohibited.
There were small to medium size mods that popped up from time to time, but they were all shut down, as the IP holder(not the dev team) demanded that there can't be any modding.
It is written in the licence agreement you agreed to.
It is worded something like that it is pohibited to reverse-engineer the game, which is required for modding without any official tools.
So modding is a dead horse subject, and everyone should just accept it.

Wow they pretty much shot themselves in the foot.

No foot to shoot for NBC Universal really. Games like Far Cry and GTA are different as the IP holder and developer are the same entity.

[Kuriousjorj]

How about a mod for more than 1 map in the entire game?

hence i didn't respond to the initial comment because NBC isn't Ubisoft or Rockstar and what they do is their business, it has no impact on this game.

How many months ago was this? I don't even remember what this conversation was about.

In addition I don't care.

Someone please lock the thread, thanks.
