thanks for responging you are awsome for doing so and the reson i asked for most of theas is becaus i love biology oh and one more thing can you make it so you can spawn pirat fleets with a pirat mothership?
Thanks! I was actually a biology major myself, it's still one of my favorite subjects, but I'm thinking of pursuing a career in the video games, so computer sciences is what I'm looking at now. And pirates would be cool, I'll look into it for GSG 2 :)
In GSG 2 both dynamic wars as well as dynamic trade agreements, etc. will be added, as well as technologies. A few ideas for the future of empires were set forth here: http://gamejolt.com/games/godspace-galactic-beta/news/official-forums-online/9296/
Yeah, I was thinking of the life script being stored in an dummy object separate from planets, also allowing for life to seed itself according to the panspermia theory of life.
as for non carbon based life here is the list
sillicon:can ressurect itself
murcury; lives in radiation bathed planets
phosphorous; lives only when on fire
and dark matter; lives in or near black holes and warp gravity
I was already thinking of silicone based, as Si can make 4 bonds as well, giving it similar chemical properties as far as forming a variety of bonds. The other ideas are pretty cool as well, but I was wondering exactly how dark matter would be implemented, as it's not even visible in the electromagnetic spectrum. Dark matter's a cool concept been mentioned before, but exotic things like that are harder to add, as we don't know much about them, but I'm open to interpretation. :) Thanks for the quick reply as well :)
As cool as other types of life forms would be, I have no idea how I would do that... Nebulas tend to get destroyed pretty quickly, so their ability to contain and support life long-term is much less than stable objects like planets or even stars (which are too energetic and hot for any conceivable form of life to even keep its component molecules from vibrating apart). The idea is really cool, but my poor human brain has a hard time conceiving of anything that isn't composed of existing ideas rearranged in new ways (even the most creative mythological creatures are often composed of real animal parts slapped together). If you could elaborate on the idea, and provide a concept for how it would work in game, I might be able to do more with it :)
