Unfortunately, the abilities' execution can't be changed in the XML AFAIK. However, once it can, you'll be able to have 2 weapon-abilities. There's also another pseudo way. A ship can have several weapon types. You can configure them to not be able...  [Read More]

Nope, my goal is space combat, with some simple galactic map changes. I think I've achieved that, but as I said, anything else that is wacky will go into another mod later on. SWRealism will be completed soon, after which the only thing that is lack...  [Read More]

On scale: I won't want to touch scale right now because it affects unit accuracy. The smaller or bigger it is, the easier to hit. That will take a whole lot of rebalancing. Double interdictor? I need to check it out, I didn't see that. Also, this M...  [Read More]

Hmm, a .tga file for the Interceptor icon as well. Model and .tga icon for the Carrack Cruiser and the Torpedoboat. Actually, I sort of made up the torpedoboat, so if there's an actual SW vessel that has that role, you can model based on that. If y...  [Read More]

Don't worry Falcon, I personally felt the ships turned too fast for their size. And about space pop caps and fighters, I always thought that the cost of the fighter squadron would be more important than whether they took up any population cap. Als...  [Read More]

That's very nice Wildcat! Once it can be converted to .alo it'd be great to use it :) And one thing about targeting in this game, especially with fightercraft since they are so fast. If you want to run them away from a tartan, DON'T DO IT IN A STRAI...  [Read More]

Kim you need to change ALL the hyperspace speeds for each space unit in their respective SPACEUNIT files. However, in the next update i've upped the hyperspace speed from 0.15 to 0.30. I lowered the Carrack's RoF as well, still figuring out the best...  [Read More]

Edwynn > Yep, the changes will be in, except for the Skirmish-specific changes e.g. skirmish build costs. I don't think I'll introduce the Venator, since it fulfils no role that is already taken. Maybe I'll enable it as a pirate-buildable ship....  [Read More]

I didn't touch the caps as I haven't seen a need to. I rarely reach the limit, and if you're playing 2v2, 20/25 per player is enough to start lagging badly once everyone gets 10+ worth of units. Necroe, are you the same Necro on the Petroglyph forum...  [Read More]

Yep, the Gunship's missiles used to be powerful in the original, but now that capital ship hardpoints have anywhere from a 2x to 3x health increase, they just aren't. FYI I upped the concussion missile speed up to 12 now, and made 2 of the launchers...  [Read More]

Hmm about the AI's build list. I'm not sure how to modify that. For example, I introduced new ships, but the AI does not build them. I suspect the build lists are locked into the .LUA files, which can't be edited AFAIK. I noticed that the AI builds...  [Read More]

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll check it out. However, even with the tip blown off, does the Acclamator still fire its concussion missiles? It looks fine for me, wonder why. And just a heads-up, I'm now working on some new ships for my next release, b...  [Read More]
