There is note of SimMars (http://www.simmars.simvision.net/) attempted with the SC4 game engine, but the project lost momentum, and some better techniques and technology needed to be developed within the SC4 Custom Content community.
Digital Elevation Map data is available for both the Moon and Mars at various levels of quality, particularly concerning specific areas of interest. So, supposing someone wishes to build a city on the moon, Mars or under water on Earth, it would be great to allow that much flexibility in custom content. It isn’t possible, and I certainly don’t think it’s reasonable to expect TM to provide all content we could wish for. Please consider allowing us custom content to the extent we *can* create such things using your game engine.
We ought to be able to wrap people up in space suits, floating in underwater scuba gear, or change all people into ‘little green men’.
We ought to be able to make all cars hovercraft or floating subs.
Retexturing terrain and transit would be a given, if content may be added at all.
What about allowing us to create our own ‘Social Energies’, and in the process allow us ‘advanced’ users to express content TM couldn’t produce in years.
So I listed ‘people’, ‘transit’ and ‘texture’ issues. What other issues would have to be altered to present a city ‘not of this earth’ in SC5?
