Look in the file header in Components.txt. There are various "only X" damage types, but there is no way to arbitrarily define a weapon that damages a specific type. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif You could add an "only security stations" damaging weapon, then give all components with crew (CQ, Bridge, etc.) a security station ability of 1. It would simulate what you want reasonably well, and it would also aide in boarding attempts, due to removing some of those pesky security stations. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Are my Posts in that stupid political thread causing you folks no to reply to this?

As I said I'm sorry for the level of hostility I took but please don't let that carry over into my mod...:(

This forum typically doesn't take things posted here personally, even in a heated thread like that. We've survived numerous exchanges on topics covering life, the universe, and everything (and even occasionally all the fish), but very few people have ever left for any period of time because they were offended by an individual. The few trolls who have stopped by haven't found too much troll food, so they typically just go back to the Angband Usenet group. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif Overall, the level of maturity and acceptance on this forum is far above the norm for most web communities. Just remember not to try to play semantics with Fyron--he never gets tired of it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

EDIT: Oh, and as for the mod, it sounds good so far. I agree that we'll have a better idea of exactly how it works when we have a copy to try. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif That's the problem with making such a massive mod--it's hard to keep track of how all the changes add up until you playtest that first alpha. That's where all the work is. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I can attest to that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Ascendancy Mod Idea (need some help)
 
Hey I may need someone's help in resizing my pics to make them game size and still looking good, because though I am loath to admit it my skill with ms Paint is not what it should be and I am having trouble figuring out how to make ships look their proper proportions while still making their pictures small.

Anyone who would help me I would very much appreciate it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Get The GIMP, which is free, and you can do professional quality image resizing yourself.
