Drone Thoughts

[Xaren Hypr]

They (Mine Warhead - Mine, Anti-ship Warhead - Drone) both have the same damage type..."Normal". IIRC, mines can have other damage types (P&N and Adamant both use them, if I remember the earlier Posts correctly), and there is very little difference between the to comps in the file. That's why I figured that I could create alternate payloads for my mini-drones.

Here are the two comps for comparison:

Name := Mine Warhead I
Description := Large warhead which will explode on contact with a ship.
Pic Num := 185
Tonnage Space Taken := 5
Tonnage Structure := 5
Cost Minerals := 50
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 20
Vehicle Type := Mine
Supply Amount Used := 5
Restrictions := None
General Group := Weapons
Family := 2026
Roman Numeral := 1
Custom Group := 0
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Explosive Warheads
Tech Level Req 1 := 1
Number of Abilities := 0
Weapon Type := Warhead
Weapon Target := Ships\Planets\Ftr\Sat\Drone
Weapon Damage At Rng := 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Weapon Damage Type := Normal
Weapon Reload Rate := 0
Weapon Display Type := Torp
Weapon Display := 0
Weapon Modifier := 0
Weapon Sound := mine.wav
Weapon Family := 24

Name := Anti - Ship Warhead I
Description := Large warhead which will explode when a drone hits an enemy ship.
Pic Num := 185
Tonnage Space Taken := 20
Tonnage Structure := 50
Cost Minerals := 500
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 200
Vehicle Type := Drone
Supply Amount Used := 5

General Group := Weapons

Roman Numeral := 1
Custom Group := 0
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Drones
Tech Level Req 1 := 1
Number of Abilities := 0
Weapon Type := Warhead
Weapon Target := Ships\Sat
Weapon Damage At Rng := 200 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Weapon Damage Type := Normal

Apologies in advance if I'm ranting about nothing ...I'm running tired, and I've got to head to work in a few hours...time for a nap

Just a bit of discussion..
