Hey this is mainly to the guys who developed the awesome black op mod for sup com. Iv seen a few banners around on the forums. Just a question a bit out of the blue, but regardless of the state of the game atm (everything is subject to change obv). What with Esports getting a nice bit of focus PAstats and all that. I was just curious if you guys have any plans to create a Pa black ops mod? you know, more units possibly upgrade able coms not gonna lie i love pa, but i miss being able to upgrade my com to make him more battle ready or even just to be able to produce some T2 structures. (yes i know the whole point is to have him like the king from chess, not much use late game but gg if he dies) Any way thats all i have to say just a curiosity as to whether there's a future plan for a black ops mod cheers
You should ask this question in the modders forum. So far most people are against the idea of stealth – so I'd guess there's no current plans for such a mod. But that's just a guess.
This is impossible to source unless I find a link of every single person that ever says anything about stealth and tally up their options. It's just a personal observation I've made. And I should make some clarification. In my personal observation, people are against the ideas of an entire army that is nothing but stealth. The mechanic of large cloaked/stealthed armies promotes huge amounts of micro. I don't like that. Cloaking will be in the game in small amounts. Cloaking mines and cloaking commanders are confirmed. Anything beyond that is not confirmed.
nah im against stealth as well. But blackops wasnt a stealth mod as far as im aware, it rebalanced the entire game as well as added new units and made coms a more varied unit in its roles with out making them insanely op .... well microwave laser was rediculus but ahh fond memories also how do i move it to modders forum?
Cloaking ≠ Stealth Stealth refers to radar stealth. I'd love to have a radar jammer unit or a unit that comes with a radar jammer. I kind of have to agree that cloaked units would mean more micro...although a Heavy Infiltration Sniper bot would be pretty cool.
Yeah, the name is just a little misleading. There will probably be a lot of balance mods, but I don't know of any teams that have announced anything yet. As to moving the thread, you don't. If a mod thinks it should be moved, they'll move it and demand cookies as payment for their work.
For the future guys it's probably best to tag me sooner! ;p Given PA's Nature I'm not sure on the feasibility of a mod structured like BlackOps for PA but that's kind of a whole different topic really. I'm here(and active), Hawk is kinda waiting a bit to see how things go because he just doesn't have as much time as he used to and PA is going to be very crazy in terms of modding after release so it's really hard to gauge where things will go once PA is released. There are definitely some ideas I've had while working on BlackOps that the Moho Engine just wasn't well suited for and since PA has gotten fairly refined I've got some new ideas I want to try but I've always been very focused on the Art side of things so it might be a bit tougher to find a Coder that can work on teh same wavelengths as me like Hawk could but we'll see, again it's really hard to do anything but guess how things will go in the future.

I don't think you will have much of an issue finding coders as this forum has plenty of modders who'd be happy to help and this is still gamma.
As I kinda hinted at, it's not just finding a coder, but someone I can work with on a level that not's exactly common. For some context, back during BO's "Glory Years" me and Hawk Talked on a daily basis about BO, unit ideas and everything else. It's not to say there aren't good coders out there, just that I need someone who is MORE than just a good coder and in reality, an average coder I can work closely with is better than a great coder who I don't see eye-to-eye with on different principles or whatever. I might be blowing it out of proportion a bit but the basic idea is still the same. Mike
I understand. You still shouldn't have a problem finding that codder when the time comes though and I'd be happy to work with you sometime if you want. There's plenty of great modders here already and that number's only going to increase.
