General Discussion / :o Did u know?

« on: February 25, 2012, 03:23:19 PM »

that u can increase your travel speed by moving your slowest ship to the first in the fleet so the most experienced crew is on the slowest ship making your fleet go faster ^^

General Discussion / AI when the underdog...

« on: February 25, 2012, 02:59:12 AM »

Yes its time to start new thread whining about something 

AI works fine when u have more ships with flanking and vutnot but if u have less ships... AI seems to get so scared and it dosnt get anything done
my guess is that it has something to do with the AI trying to evade all "threats" and ends up evading till it gets hit from every direction at the same time... (if thers missiles it gets even worse)
and for some reason the "dodgedodgedodge loop" overwrites commands like "intercept" and "harass" witch means player is effectively on his own while his wingmen do absolutely nothing constructive... (if player commands intercept it usually means thers something coming that NEEDS to be intercepted no matter the cost (bomber wing coming at your carrier coughcough) but instead the screen just dances around evading enemy frigates fire lanes ending up outside the actual battle letting the target trough... 
id rather end up loosing my frigates to escorts because my mistake giving the order than the AI desiding the orders "bad" and ignoring em.... -.-

deel free to hate... thats what rant threads are for

General Discussion / Sabot srm

« on: February 22, 2012, 02:32:09 PM »

any reason for sabot to be so much crappier than harpoon with range and tracking? both do 750 damage sabot just does kinetic instead of exlopsive... 
(besides sabot has awesome pewpew factor built into it) its ridiculous that sabots cant out run hammer head firing em...   

thought only benefit for kinetic is that it does better shield damage?

(if sabots get buffed at some point they would brobably need to be called MRMs instead ^^)

Suggestions / Repairing on stations... for monies...

« on: February 18, 2012, 05:05:33 AM »

Sometimes ur fleet gets totaly trashed and ur faced with 30+ days of repairs... so why not add repair function on stations that insta repairs ur ships for fee (obviously lot more than the supplies to fix it urself)

General Discussion / Combat Ai

« on: February 18, 2012, 01:24:16 AM »

its too good... how do i know it... cause it makes me scream "U CHEATING BASTERD!" after watching transport dodge 60 rockets trough some ridiculous maneuvering ^^
the collision detection thing alex did is just too good if there is way to avoid being hit by missile AI will find it and use it everytime so only way to hit em with rockets or torps is to make sure there is no way to dodge witch means point blank shots... q.q (or shooting at onslaught... that thing cant dodge moon coming its way ^^)


END OF RANT sorry 

and that thing AI does when it has more than 1vs1 odds where it first circles around u and then attacks from every direction at once... how do i do it by commands... cant do it can i?

Suggestions / So... what about new battleship?

« on: February 16, 2012, 04:17:05 PM »

Onslaught is kinda iffy with all those tiny turrets and missiles... so why not add an real battleship on both sides with fewer but bigger guns with nice broad sides...

Suggestions / frigates are too small...

« on: February 12, 2012, 02:06:25 PM »

so what about creating new class of ships between frigates and cruisers... and calling em frigates and then changing the name of current frigates to corvettes.. cause currently... they are just too small and have too few guns to be actual combat ships. but if u called em corvettes instead world would be better place.

Modding / modding ammo counts...

« on: February 11, 2012, 03:15:38 PM »

So lets imagine that i dont have an glue where to start...
but what i want is increase ammo count of all weabons by x10 and if possible increase reload time (to balance things ^^)
what file should i look up?
and as an bonus+ ^^ is it possible to change projectile weabons like chainguns to use magazines instead of general ammo pool so u would have to reload em  (cause having gazillion bulets would otherwise make em bit too strong :3)
and will there be an broblem with missiles that are placed on the outside of the ship with visual sprite when u "reload" em, when u would normally just empty the racks and thats it
