Re: SE4 Stock Balance Mod
 

This isn't actually a balance problem but I'd like to change it still. Some components has ship/base or ship/base/sat in vehicle type though the componets are only needed in ships (or sometimes also in bases).

For example all supply things (storage, quantum reactor, solar panel) are useless for bases and satellites.

And engines (& solar sails & IIRC even emergency propulsion) appear for bases! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Clean out useless item/vehicle combos from the available components list.

Good one.

Re: SE4 Stock Balance Mod
 

I believe it was PvK that suggested that supply storage count toward the 50% on transport hulls ... I like that idea.
On the subject of supplies/storage. Has anyone ever suggested a supply storage/ solar panel combo? Sort of an intermediate step between solar panels and quantum reactor. 30kt component that has 300kt storage cap. and generates 75kt/turn.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'd go for supply storage counting as cargo. Also, your solar panel/supply storage is a kind of 'reactor' I have in a future project of mine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Whatever became of this? Is anybody working on it?

Re: SE4 Stock Balance Mod
 

Good question.

I think SJ is working on this. Can he give us an update?

Re: SE4 Stock Balance Mod
 

I have emailed Aaron with the list, and am awaiting his response to it.

Re: SE4 Stock Balance Mod
 

How long ago did you email it to him? If it was a few weeks, you should probably send it again... I have always gotten responses to my emails within 2-3 days (the ones that got responses, at any rate).
