Mount question
 

Sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find the answer in the forum:

Is it possible to use more than one mount for the same component in combination?

Example: you have a nano-mount that reduces the size of all (ship-)components. Can you combine this with a weapon mount? Or do you have to create an entire series of new mounts that combine the nano-effect and the weapon mounts together?

Re: Mount question
 

Only one mount at a time...

Just imagine if you were able to combine a large and a heavy mount with a massive mount!

Re: Mount question
 

a ship-sized weapon ? damages : 5k, range : 25 squares. Seems scary...

BTW, is it possible to create mounts for missiles ?

actually, you can create a mount for range and missile will be launch at longer distance but it will still expire after traveling the default distance.

I think it can be of some use for weapon platform or bases - if ships move toward planet, earlier launch is a good idea !

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thank you for the quick answer. You are of course right that the abuse possibilities might get huge if you could combine different mounts.

Re: Mount question
 

Oleg, check out Adamant Mod. It has 6 mounts for missiles that let the missiles fire early or late (increase range, decrease range) for different roles in combat. You might want to fire early to catch those missile dancers, for example. Or, fire late to get in under PDCs (even thouhg anti-seeker PDC has max range 2 in Adamant... hmm...).

Q:
That is, unless you are given the ability to restrict combinations of mounts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Yes, I know :}

It is, in part, because of your mod I'm so sure about the range affect on seekers.

I wish PVK will introduce such mounts to Proportions WPs ... :}
