And here we go...

Hey all, I know I'm tempting fate by putting this here but I think it's worth it.

Alright, I'll admit right off the bat that this is Sci-fi... but it's not the kind to develop into a flame war. (PLEASE DON'T SMITE ME O MIGHTY MODERATORS)

I was playing OFP and I relized how cool it would be to release a set of REALISTIC alien units.

Key word: REALISTIC. As in no Phasors or stuff like that. Magnetic based infantry weapons, armored vehicles (maybe mechs?) and Aircraft... make them behave like a actual millitary not some star-trek speicies. I was thinking of useing Sci-fi concepts that have roots in REAL-LIFE technology and physics. (powered armor for example)

But here's the big thing: Don't make them part of a mod, and make them origional. Not aliens that exist in other games, for example. A stand-alone addon pack.

I sugest this for one major reason: No mod I have seen yet has sucessfully relased a pack of aliens of ANY kind. It's one of the few things that have not been accomplished in OFP. I think that the OFPEC moderators could make an exception to the "no Sci-fi" rule just this once?

Of course, if the moderators feel differently I'll gladly let them dismiss this topic... I just hope that you'll hear me out.

P.S. Don't tell me about the Operation Scifi mod... they seem to primarily deal with specialty addons (Star Wars, for example)

Its not that OFPEC is against sci-fi addons.

Helping people who are building these addons with editing problems is allowed.

However, general discussion of sci-fi addons is not allowed.

We can't make any exceptions to the rule.
So, sadly, I really must lock this topic.

If you want to discuss it further then PM one of the Global Moderators for clarification.

Thats the best I can do for you at the moment.
