RTS/ Empire Take over [AP]

poopboypat · Post by **poopboypat** » Sun, 21. Apr 13, 01:56

I know there are sector takeover scripts and whatnot. But is there anything out there that REALLY makes this game like a RTS where you try to take over the galaxy?

Its been a while since I played AP, but want to get into HUGE Fleet battles. Usually I just make massive economy's and station loops, but looking for mega fleet and takeover mod. (I feel like taking over things)

Thanks for any suggestions!!!

Well, I know of only two mods that would let you do something like that.

The X-Timelines mod

...and the ETNO mod (or you can just click one of my sigs which have this link).

Both were originally mods for TC but now they are AP mods. The only catch is, they are both a WIP (work in progress) so that means they haven't been released yet.

Because of X3's spawn-based economy and a rather complicated interface, it's not possible to play it as an RTS/ in a strategic manner (the first point makes it impossible, but the later point just makes it really hard).

If you don't know anything about GoD or the spawning mechanics, then I would refer you to the following thread.
