Ground battle concept

[Normandy]

Way ahead of you, Goduranus. All the tanks I'm designing are hover-tanks.
Also, what are your ideas on fighters? I'm making invisi-aegis'd fighters that can only be destroyed by the splash of a plasma charge, but I'm thinking that there may be other ways, since that way missiles and normal flak doesn't work.

With your permission, I made a little tank here.



The missiles don't turn, and they are faster and uninterceptable. (tried to make it like a real tanks weapon)

Firstly, there's no such thing as "real space combat" to begin with. Since . . . well, I think the reasons are obvious. Though "conjectural space combat" is a different story.

And I don't think that "terrain" would be that difficult to do, if one were to go in and fiddle with the program itself a little. All that would really be needed would be some sort of collision pathing (which IS easier said than done, I'll admit) and the ability to do line-of-sight calculations given floating objects that carry a certain "height" tag, and convey that elevation to objects on top of them. Of course, "Tanks Forever" would be a different game than "Battleships Forever with some Tank-like things" . . . but it's an interesting concept that makes me wish I knew more about programming.
