Mods / Re: [0.95.1a] Superweapons Arsenal v2.4 The power of a thousand sun!

Nice. I see it's a Medium Hybrid. Did you make it that way on purpose so people wouldn't just use it as a substitute for a Large Ballistic or Large Energy?

You can in-fact put medium hybrid weapons on larger slots, I made this one medium because I don't mind that issue as it's just PD/support, the reason why it's hybrid is because I designed it to support a bigger Superweapon and some ships won't have 4 medium energy or ballistic slots to fully support that weapon, sometimes a mixture of both.

I will see what i can do regarding smaller Superweapons, but i can't promise anything.
Meanwhile, here are more spoilers for next update:

That is the whole point of it Why else stick a superweapon on a fragile thing like an Armaa strikecraft? Exactly because then you can go duel the Guardian or something... You can make something like a tiny range weapon but that ignore shields, want to duel the guardian or a radiant using a frigate? You can, if you are courageous enough to somehow touch it to use your super-drill or laser sword or plasma torch, and hope its point defense won't murder you instantly

The concept seems sounds fun but i can't see myself implementing it as i don't like close range weapons.

Sugestion for future versions:

Create smaller weapons, for those that want to stick superweapons in superfrigates or superdestroyers

Like "Old Hyperion" with superweapons.

Or a small super missile that can fit in the "Excelsior".

Or superweapons that fit Arma Armatura strikecrafts

You can go "full anime" and stick a super rare prototype small weapon in  your unique Armaa mechs and end with a customized "ace" super mech

The topic is small Superweapons is something that has been discussed before, it's really hard to balance small Superweapons as they can be abused on bigger slots for higher efficiency + they can make fast ships with small mounts stronger than some capitals.

I also have some issue with drops from slightly better tech mining, upgraded by story point. I got a few weapons for the first 2-3 cycles, then the drops stopped completely. Its been atleast 30 cycles, no new drops.

That's because you didn't Alpha core the Facility.

Did i miss something? What is Tesla Coil?
Also i wonder if this even possible to leave 4k radius fast enough 

A Tesla Coil is a medium-sized Superweapon that acts as a PD solution and has some cool interactions with the Lightning Storm turret, it will be easier to attain than other Superweapons.

Is firing the Titan in simulation supposed to reduced it's CR ? If not then i suggest you use the function "isSimulation() " to check beforehand.

Modding / Adding a station to the game

« on: June 11, 2022, 02:53:43 PM »

So i want to add a new type of station to the game, one that is generated with the sector and spread across the map, such station is identical to any regular research/mining base but drops different loot, can someone give me simplified steps on how to do it ?

I absolutely love the iron shell ships and their artwork, they are very high quality, their hullmods are also presented in a clean manner 10/10

How Bad of an idea is it to give an AI-controlled ship a Blackhole Generator or a Supernova Launcher? (do some of the weapons have friendly-fire?)

It's not possible for AI to properly use these weapons unless you write custom code for it, it's not going to be easy tho.

That's, unfortunately, a limitation I can't bypass: To add a restriction to the ITU I would need to edit it, making my mod Incompatible with anyone else who decided to do otherwise. Short of Alex implementing a system independent of the script, or something like Concord reaching maturity, there's nothing I can do about it.

This can be fixed by adding few lines that goes over every other hullmod installed at any given time, reading their id 1 by 1, if ITU id is found remove it and play a peep sound
Also with this solution the player won't be able to build-in ITU since the hullmod have to be ON the ship however your hullmod will remove it due to conflict whenever possible.
here is a snippet of how the code would look like Inside YOUR hullmod file:

Code

public void applyEffectsAfterShipCreation(ShipAPI ship, String id) {
     ArrayList<String> deletionList = new ArrayList<String>();

     for (String str : ship.getVariant().getNonBuiltInHullmods()) {
          if (str.contains("targetingunit"))
               deletionList.add(str);
     }

     if (deletionList.size() > 0) 
          Global.getSoundPlayer().playUISound("cr_allied_critical", 1f, 1f);

     for (String s : deletionList) 
          ship.getVariant().removeMod(s);
}

-Edit: this had a small error, i fixed it
