Carrier refit rate * hull level * missile refit penalty, with lower limit being 30% refit rate like standard fighters

So basically, I should make a capital carrier with no wings that could tank its refit rate and take off all my missiles? Is it just for missile weapons or reloadable guns like anit-matter blaster?

keep in mind that the ships themselves drain replacement rate so having them all leech off 1-2 carriers isn't going to change much

but yeah, the replacement rate is only affected by missiles. AMB probably should too for consistency, but reloading missiles are much more abusable without any drawbacks

[ Possible combat UI overlapping of CR bar when ship has non-phase right-click system ]

Greetings shoi,

Since StarSector 0.95.1a, Alex has made a change to how non-shield/non-phase right-click systems are rendered on the combat GUI:

Quote
  • Added ship system status/charges/etc display for non-phase right click systems

Due to this, a couple(?) of strikecrafts featured in your mod that possess such right-click systems -- take the GunHazard (armaa_hazard_frig) with its Plasma Jets for example -- wind up having both their HULL and FLUX bars shifted up several pixels...

...just enough pixels for the FLUX bar to overlap with your custom CR bar. (The one rendered via MagicUI.drawInterfaceStatusBar() in armaa_strikCraft.class I believe).



Any ideas on how you might go about re-rendering this CR bar?
I don't know if MagicUI's methods have any means of defining manual offsets. And seeing as you're already using MagicUI.drawHUDStatusBar() to render additional HULL/FLUX bars...

Yeah, this also seems to occur if you deploy one of the ships at critical CR for some reason. I just ended up removing the bar and adding a more prominent "low cr" warning effect that only plays when the player's ship is at low levels. People testing haven't had any issues with that, so hopefully it's fine. Thanks for letting me know either way :)

As for a status report: I probably will release at some point this month. Mostly putting last touches on things. Have a (non-exhaustive)changelog!

Suggestion

Hullmods for pilotable strike craft to influence rearm on carriers, either something to lower the time it takes or the supplies needed for example

For shortening time I suggest:

OmniMech Structure: the structure of the vehicle has been modified for rapid dismantlement and reassembly, enabling swift replacement of parts and ammunition in combat situations
-50% rearm time
+50% rearm cost (example values)

For lowering cost on carriers I suggest :

FerroFoam Structure: replaces the structural components with hollow ones that can be filled with a FerroFoam solution that hardens rapidly in response to heat, reduces the amount of metals needed in the production of parts, directly reduces the rearm cost
-50% rearm cost
+50% rearm time (example value)

Gunhazard, Leynos, and Xyphos have it in the current version
This'll get expanded to the playable versions of the broadsword and warthog, and maybe the playable kouto

Thanks  for the suggestion! I'll see about maybe getting something like this in before the update

I do.

It might be my fault though because my game is modded beyond reason.   I tested around and crash occurs when I use the "build in hull mod option" and click "show all"


It seems to be too long to post on the forums and the txt file size is too big for attachment.
I will paste the closest section I find

I've had another idea and felt like writing it down here

Mechs with modified frames/booster packs that changes their directionnal speed

First idea:
A mech with a massive set of turbine engines built into its back, the engines provide enormous forward and backward acceleration and speed at the cost of strafing and steering speed
Could make a interresting gameplay type where the mech has to "joust" the opponent and work over larger ships by taking multiple passes, putting the whole "can pass through ships" thing strike craft have to the test

Second idea:
Litterally the opposite, a mech designed with massive maneuvering boosters built into the shoulders, it provides staggering steering speed and strafing speed, however the steering speed is so extreme it can cause the pilot to lose control of the craft completely at high speeds, would make a great dedicated PD platform at the cost of anti-ship weapons and finicky movement
