Starship Legends 1.5.4Compatible with previous versionsFixed defending a station through the "consider your military options" dialogue resulting in a broken battle where you attack the station instead
Hi, I'm interested in using the mod but I have a few questions:
- I would like it to be more dependent on the ships' performance in battles without removing the combat rating system (as I assume that's what the Better Immersion settings do) while also allowing civilian ships to get reputation changes without needing to enter battle.
- Can I change the config settings without breaking my save file? I'd be fine with just fine-tuning the settings over time as I don't entirely understand the config values yet.
Hey, sounds like you want the "better immersion" settings, except without changing "showCombatRatings" to false. Ratings will be tracked and displayed, but they won't influence your ships in any way. By default, the reputation of civilian ships has a chance to grow whenever you earn XP from anything other than battle, so you shouldn't need to worry about anything there (although there's a 50% chance to get a bad trait this way, which a lot of people hate. "bonusChanceForCivilianShips" can be edited to change this)
I did my best to make sure the config could be changed mid-game without issues, and I don't recall anyone reporting it causing issues, but no guarantees!
I don't think ships with High Intensity Lasers are calculating their combat contribution correctly (and/or the Diable Avionics Maelstrom isn't calculating it right).
I can't think of a way calculation could be broken by the HIL or Maelstrom. I tried fighting a battle with a HIL equiped Maelstrom and got the kind of results I'd expect. The rating system often doesn't work the way people expect and/or want it to, so I suspect this is just another case of that.
