Its happened before on other forums, long time hard core members just stop posting and eventually it was discovered that they are no longer alive. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

One can't help but wonder if Val is still around or not.

Umm... the current system works extremely well. It is quite robust... What is wrong with it in your opinion?

In my opinion, using AI Tags to get the AI to use the current ECM and Combat Sensors components would be a waste of time and AI tags. How about one component family with the �Combat To Hit Defense Plus� ability and one component family with the �Combat To Hit Offense Plus ability�.

There are a large number of abilities that can be used as AI tags. They are in no short supply. The current CS/ECM system (well the intended one, anyways) will work quite nicely, even with AI use.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod

I noticed that in the Version of the mod I have the AI would stop adding engines to its AI design creation at a certain point. I think I found the problem. It was the Jump Gate components. When I deleted them the AI started adding engines. I think that the Jump Gate component�s 50 �Standard Ship Movement� point ability is causing the AI problem. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod

As said in the other thread... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif AI tags will get around the jump gate issue nicely.

That would leave nothing but stock.

The point of having three families is that you can boost your ECM/CS just a bit more by devoting a bunch of extra space to it.

Some ships might just go with the basic component, since they need the hull space for other things...
If you want the very pinnacle of ECM or CS power, though, you have to pay for it with extra space on your ship.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod

I concur. Please leave the CS/ECM alone, other than to make them all 10 kT...

Re: Babylon 5 Mod

Here is my proposal for the ECM/CS Components:

Re: Babylon 5 Mod

That completely destroys the current system.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod

Anyone know why shipboard telepath has sensor level as an ability?

Re: Babylon 5 Mod

So that it can detect cloaked shadow vessels. Not that there is a shadow cloaking device... :-\
