Re: Ground combat questions

Things that matter in ground combat units:

1)Offense/Defense bonuses, but they apply to the whole stack

2)Weapon damage (not range, reload rate, or supplies used)

3)Hit points (kilotons of...

Re: Ground combat questions

Thanks,

Follow up question: All other things being equal, would a troop with a single 30 damage wpn be equivalent to a troop with three 10 damage wpns?

Ground combat questions

1) In ground combat does having mutliple weapons on a troop make any difference? Does having 3 ground cannons mean that troop makes 3 attacks, with 3 attempts to hit?

2) I've read that emissive...

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

Aha! Got it to work. At least in the modder, anyway.

Thanks SJ and Fyron

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

I have the image mod and it's great. I still want to make my own troop components. I'm creating troops that are single units, basically the cockpit is 10k and contains the armor and weapons. I think...

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

I've just started using the SE4 Modder by DavidG. It's awesome, and it makes it much easier to organize. Nice.

I'm putting together some image files for my new comps. It's easy to make the 128x128...

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

I finished some test components for the Psychology mod and tried them in a game. All of my techs showed up. Some of my ship comps showed, some didn't. My fighter comp showed.None of my troop comps...

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

Another option: Make anti-planet weapons (napalm, etc.) reload time of 30. That way they get a big hit in, but can't stick around and keep pounding.

What do you think?

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

To tone down Weapon Platforms, what are my options? Which is the best?

1) Increase size and expense to decrease the number of WPs

2) Create a whole weapon series unique to WPs to limit them,...

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

Ok, thanks for the tips.

Any suggestions on how to create a balance between weapon platforms and normal weapons not being able to target them? I want them to still be able to defend the planet,...

What is the max speed...

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

I guess I mean more defensive in a Point Defense way. Since no-planet regular ship weapons will not be able to counter current weapon platforms, I think this will make planetary assault too...

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

How do mines work then? Do they have a ram action? Could the mine mechanics be used on a planet to simulate booby traps, heavy defense, etc.?

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

In a similar vein, if you set Weapon Type to Warhead (like Kamikaze Warhead) does that mean it destroys itself? Does it apply damage to the ship? Can it only be used on a ram action?

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

Well, that's how I envision it. A suicidal bomber runs up to the enemy and blows himself up (destroying the unit) and hopefully taking some enemy with him.

Does anyone else think that planetary...

Re: Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

Possible way to protect troops from ship based weapons, thereby forcing the enemy to land troops and engage on the ground?
