I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but.



Any thoughts about modding simulated battle sequence and models?



To give it a lot more eye candy and appeal. (detail, effects etc)

Different formations etc (other than the exact same scenario as every battle)



I would love to see a simulated battle sequence like the nexus 2 tech demo's battle sequence.

Agreed the same sequence is kinda boring and i would like to see a new epic fight of dreadnoughts duking it out while smaller more agile fighters dart around tryingy to merk each other like the awesome final space assault against the reapers in mass effect 3

uhm, I'm afraid that this can't be done easily...



All ships right now follows simple: Pre Battle > Far > Medium > Close > End . To change that you would need to do up to 3 different combat rotations and set some ships for other and some for other.



This could be possible, but again we need to find method to easily put more lines to code.

and there was a code, as you can see it's rather simple and elegant... but leaves quite a little for modding. (What I want to know is what happens if you add several long range combat phases there)

I know it would be difficult to do but i think it would add a lot more popularity and satisfaction to the game. And yes it would be very iteresting with more combat phases haha

One of the first things I attempted to add was an additional battle phase but crash crash crash heh. What I desperately want to know - is it possible to adjust the distance b/t the ships. I want to start the battle considerably further out
