My mistake on the heavy shield/low weapon ship, it was the Cue Cappa attack repair ship. Thought it was a normal attack ship.
The HE mount range modifier in the ComponentEnhancement file is -4 and the description reads -1. I assume the modifier should be -1.
You may want to check out the Super dreadnaught boarding ships, all races. They have about 20 boarding parties on them. Is that how they are supposed to be?
I still don't understand how the AI is putting two spaceyard components on their ships. I would love to be able to figure that one out.
Glad you're having fun! So am I. I'm hard at work fixing all the balance problems though, especially with fighters =) The next mod should be out in a day or two and has totally reworked small weapons and how they interact with large ships. Fighters are now useful but not godlike..as they should be.
This next Version will mainly be a maintenance/bugfix Version intended to fix bugs and balance things. There's a few new things (new mounts), but mainly things are the same, just less buggy =)
BTW, the High Energy Focus Mount description is wrong. It should be -4 range. and 1250kT (not 1500 as the description says). oops.
I haven't seen any Superdreadnought boarding ships with 20 boarding parties. Sounds scary =) But it also sounds like a good challenge that the AI should be doing. Think about it this way. As a human player building a boarding ship, woulnd't YOU build a ship that had as many boarding parties as would fit? I would =) Efficient.
There is a definite bug in SE4, I've noticed where AI designs ignore the "One Per Vehicle" restriction. This is why AI ark ships still have 2 colony components (*SIGH*). Nonetheless, I forgot to put that restriction on shipyards in DevnullMod 1.3. This is fixed in Devnullmod 1.4. However, the AI will still ignore it until SE4 is fixed.
