Quote from: Wyvern on February 09, 2015, 01:25:53 PMQuick question if I may: does the clip reload mechanic interact with the expanded magazines hull mod, and if so, how?The hullmod increases the maximum ammo. So, for example, if you had 100 ammo and a clip size of 20 (so, 5 clips), and you get +50% from expanded magazines, you'd have 150 ammo, a clip size of 20, and 7.5 clips. The number of clips is a stat derived from max ammo and clip size, so it doesn't actually have to evenly fit into max ammo, and isn't used for anything aside from giving you a sense for what fraction of the ammo gets reloaded per reload.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.
Is there a way in the API to adjust clip size or reload rate via hullmod or ship system or the like?
Do clips continue to reload even while the weapon is firing or does the timer till clip reload only tick down when the weapon isn't in use?

I could see adding it, it's just not in at the moment.Quote from: Dri on February 09, 2015, 02:50:37 PMDo clips continue to reload even while the weapon is firing or does the timer till clip reload only tick down when the weapon isn't in use?They continue to reload regardless of all other considerations.
It's this fellow: ¢So, yeah.
So, with the changes to the Phase Beam there is now no medium sized energy standard beam weapon, right? I like the sound of the new weapon in general, but I'll have to change some of my fittings. I think this is a gap, now. We have the tactical laser in the small slot, the HIL in the large slot, and formerly the med slot was the phase beam.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.
Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
