[WIP][Server] Orbital Warfare Overhaul

Yeah, haven't had time to look into that yet...

Not exactly sure what could be causing this, but it has to be something in live_game.js

So after looking at the PAMM Download statistics for server mods today, it has come to my attention that the Orbital Warfare Overhaul mod is the SECOND MOST DOWNLOADED SERVER MOD EVER, at 922, which is just behind Statera which has 1695. Thanks for all of the support guys, we hope to continue bringing you guys good content and improvements in the days/weeks/months/years(?) to come!

I still can't believe that we've gotten as far as we have so far.
If someone told me a year ago that I would be involved in the creation of the second most popular PA mod I would have laughed.

Congratz man/lady!

Get on our level Orbital Warfare Overhaul scrubs!

No but seriously guys, awesome, you deserve all the downloads, really awesome and interesting mod!

I can't find ingame the orbital ships like Excalibur. Installed the mod with PAMM.

Are you hosting the game, and did you check the orbital factory?

maby a unit suggestion but maby u could take the new ion cannon platform and make a orbital ion canon bombardment platform its pointed at other planets with a slightly larger aoe to decimate a planet it would be a experimental orbital uber unit

I don't think it's currently possible to fire between planets, unfortunately, or at least not in that way. There IS a way I could do it, but it would end up being either OP or never used, and you might as well use nukes... Not to say I won't do it, but if I do, it wouldn't look exactly like that.

Also make sure you've installed the server mod and not just the icon mod from the ui mods tab.

aw well i can see that using nukes seems ok but it requires so much to make and with the amount of time and the amount u need to bust through heavy defended planets seems tedious i was thinking it would have been like a plasma shot that traveled like a nuke in space but could bombard planets with a cool down and it would only use power in its shot maby when the unit canon comes out we may get a new way of moving in the orbital plane rather than having to use gravity wells i u can make it that would be the most epic thing ever but if it cant be done yet or ever i was just glad to put out an idea thx =D

Unit cannon still uses gravity wells. It acts like a nuke, pretty much. It's in the PTE right now, check it out!

@emraldis

Have you considered shields being a part of this mod in some way at all?

only in the sense of an orbital wall. I don't like the shield mechanic in general.

Alrighty then, I agree. I only asked because it's sort of-ish possible if you use a really hacky way.

Damn I like the idea of shields
Only didnt mention it before because I didn't think it was possible in PA yet. Would have liked to implement something like the bomb bouncer from sc2(Yes I know that game was generally bad).

I've been made aware, yeah.

Huehuehue. :3

oh god
