the official ideas section

ok here is the rule only post ideas alll else will be deleted yer that aplies to u josh aswell

ok so here is my idea bak to the beggining after a long and hard though i thought that we could start from bm1 and change the shape of the rest of the games

dont delete replies move them to the achive

Hhehe i made the archive...ok...

I think a game engine BASED on a different race.

Like from the Klingons perspective or the romulan perspective...but MORE hsips based on that race..

Make up a totaly new race that came from another galaxy or a superpowered version of a existing race

yes but there has to be a reason for them being super power ful

nuclear waste,omega particle,borg implants,weird planet Q?

yes that makes perfect sense

or polyperonicaforosis

that was what iwas gonna point out next

oh sorry and a good race name would be lazons

well were gonna have to wait for skems judgement on that

i like the stry atm as there is alot freedom for the mulliplayer version this way

have you got any base to go with on that yet?

I think the best idea for the game is to add more stations and ship (in partycular for the empires playable by all the players).
It can be good if the AI ship or station can fire three weapons in the same times for making more specialised ship.
Now the deplacement and the stations.
To defend your planet you just have to place a station anywhere on the map it don't need to be smart so it is too easy.
So for the deplacement i think all the system need worholmes to go in the nearest system.
So if you want to go in New Switzerland by earth you must go by to alpha centauri before. And keep the days system for example there is Xdays passing when you make a travel by the worholmes.
But we can keep the antimater system but we must increase the price of it.
I think 1000lat for 1 tons of antimater.
We can increase the number and the type of weapons in the game and add more system.
We can too, increase the money you can earn by making an empire or making trade mission trade.

well, i like his idea.

sounds good well take it into consideration

u gotta admit. its a good idea.

No guy admin is not for me i am new (but i play FTBM for more than 3 years) and i take some ideas from STAR SONATA .

I have other ideas but its not very easy for me to explain it.(I am french and i love FTBM).
The weapons range system is very strange for me.
So I think it can be good to make a length system in AU (Arbitrary Unit) for example 10 AU = Range of a standar phaser.
It can be good to indicate when you select a ship the leght between you and this ship.
Now the weapons:
ALL THE PHASER HAVE THE SAME RANGE
In FTBM1 the plasma phaser is not very powerful so I think we can increase the range of it to offset.
Make laser can be good (not 360° phaser but between 0° or 5°)
Make healing weapons (fired by mantenance station) to heal a fleet.
Now other:
The ore station are not very useful between 5 or 10 deuranium per travel its very :

If there is whorholmes I think 1 ore station can produce between 50 and 80 deuranium per travel can be good.
Most of ships have 2 speed categorie:
Combat speed and warp speed.
It will be good if we can reduce the combat speed (impossible to aim a enemy ship with a teposian canon )
The system are composed by one planet but:
WHERE IS THE SUN OF THIS PLANET.
So now its good if the system can have 1 sun (center of coordinates) and 1, 2 or 3 planet .
A system havnt any more importance than an other system about the position in the quadrant.
When you are in a system you can see the ships in the same place: the planet.Its very static
So it can be good if some AI (enemy, neutral or allied) ship pass by a system.(come from a worholme ang go to an other worholme present i, the system to go in an other system)
So more there is whorholmes in a system more there is ship passing in the same system.

Thats all for today.

hes brang up a good point.
Ive always wondored why the planets are just one.

cause it would be alot more funnier. with earth, it should have, Mars And Jupiter or so ever..

i know to always wanted more planets but was never able to achieve it and thanks azert more great suggestions

Hey, i just had the idea if i made a fan-made trailer of BM5! Skembri y dont u just tell me what BM5 is about so ill use BM2 to make a trailer out of. i hope this is legal or somethin. besides i will advertise this forum in the trailer anyway

why wouldnt it be legal ?

I think that you should try coding the game differently so that there might be less bugs. Also I like BM2 so you should make it like that but with more ships, a working editor that doesn't mess up the game when you use it, make all the weapons available for purchase at stations, more planets, make the thalaron generator launch torpedoes that leave explode into large clouds of thalaron radiation when they get close to their targets, I also like the torpedo and phaser spreads being adjustable but maybe once you set them they should stay that way until you change them, and please bring back the ubers they were so much fun.

hmm good ideas a lot of them should be possible
