<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">So regenerating armor on a unit would essentially be "regenerating HPs", at least for the HPs contributed by the armor - assuming that it even works in units (which is a dangerous assumption in SEIV as I've found...) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

How'd that test come out?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm still going through the simulator to find out how/if shield regenerators and special armors work. It's not as easy to track as you might think (even with only 2 Riders designed just for that particular combat scenario).

On the brighter side, one thing I have found out that works in units are planetary bombardment weapons. One Omega Rider (500ktons) armed with 10 Plasma Bomb Vs depopulated a homeworld in one salvo. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Okay I'll give that a shot, I didn't know you had to install a second SEIV install, I was hoping I could just copy two (or more) of the type of mods you are referring to into one folder and pick that mod from the Mod Picker program. I tried my method with TDM and FQM and it didn't work. So, not to sound like an idiot, but you are saying I need to make a second full install of SEIV, correct?

i think some-one could do a cat-in-a-hat with the armor-skipping rounds and non-armor hps, but i've got a slight headache and i'm tired.

*hah! your tired! try eighteen*

*annoying eighteen-wheeler*

does anybody know what you call a pickup-truck with eighteen pigs in the back?

Mathias Ice, the Neo-standard does not require you to install anything special. All that that means is that if you use a ship set that has extra images in it, they will be used in-game in the Highliner mod.

For the Image Mod, you can (and should) install it into the default Pictures folder.

You do not need to have a second install of SE4.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I am 90% certain that none of them work on units.

Re: Highliner Mod - 1.04b - PBW Observations & Patch
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, this is true. I was thinking of the way I run SEIV in my computer (I have separate installs for PBW, Highliner, and the game I play and tweak for my own use). I have a 30 GB harddrive and am only using 5 so far, so space is not an issue for me - and I don't have to worry about that "shifting mods" nonsense. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You're probably right. I'll more than likely trim them from the Unit tech tree completely next iteration. But wait... don't some of the racial tech traits have special unit armor?
