Ascendancy Mod Idea (need some help)

[Starhawk]

Oooh your right thanks that saved my butt there eh hehe.

Well though that wouldn't have been much of a big deal since the only ships that can mount Light Pulse Cannons can't mount heavier Versions.
But again your right about the accuracy problem though, thanks

Make certain to add a dummy ability (such as Star - Unstable) to _all_ weapons with a combat modifier, with a description mentioning the bonus/penalty to hit. The combat modifier does not appear in descriptions of the component in-game, unfortunately.

[Starhawk]

Could you write a sample of what you mean, like I said my though processes are a little slow because of this damn cold.

[Fyron]

Sure. Take a look in the Data files of Adamant Mod, and search for the Wave - Motion Gun. Note that it has a new ability.

Adamant Mod Data Files - (562 KB)

Note that I figure it would be easier to refer you to Adamant for many of these things, as some 90% of your modding questions so far have examples in Adamant...

Thanks that'll help me with a few of my new weapons.

For the fire rate of the Light Pulse Cannon, have you considered just upping the load time of the larger weapons? In other words, instead of the base load time for all weapons being 1, make it 2 or 3... then you wouldn't even have to mess with the accuracy bonus, you'd just set the LPC's load time to something smaller...

edit: this would also help ships survive longer in combat, making such things as shield regenerators and boarding parties (not to mention just plain maneuvering) more useful!

[Starhawk]

Nah I like the changing accuracy idea because that will also help me keep small ships useful for the Terrenesi.

Especially because I am going to add possibly add a new weapon or two to the weapons list of the Terrenesi small ships inventory so that they will be more useful.
