Making new components.bmp

[Azatol]

Now I've got a weird bug I've found in testing. I've got an alpha version with the components showing up (and a little problem with the facilities, but no biggie.)

However, testing in the simulator and in real movement, no matter how much movement and supply I have in the design window my ships will only move at speed 1. I've given them plenty of supply and movement but they still move at 1.

What abilities are you using for movement? Some of the abilities (such as the one used by stock Solar Sails and the reactors in CBmod - I think it's called Bonus Movement) require at least 1 move point's worth of regular engines in order to work.

My problem was forgetting to have any bridge type of component. I made a bridge/life support/crew component just to save hassles and called it mission and now things are working again. (still lots of bugs but its a start.)

[Ed Kolis]

Heh, cool... so now you've implemented Morale in SE4... should a unit's Mission be lost, so is its will to fight! (Well, not really, as it can still fight, just not as effectively, as it can't dodge enemy attacks! )

That should be a leader or general, or somesuch.

Actually I think a flag or standard would be best for now. I want it to be something small so my ship sizes still work out as I want them to.

Small Questband -- 3 warriors plus equipment (horses,packs...)
Questband -- 5 warriors
Large Questband -- 8 warriors
Small Crusade -- 15 warriors
Large Crusade -- 30 warriors

These won't be exact of course, you can stuff in more if you use less equipment or play orcs (they have smaller kt warriors), or less with elves or lots of equipment but thats the standard.

Questband? Sounds like a variant of Angband
And not to bring politics into the mod, but isn't Crusade a bit limited to, umm, Christianity, not fantasy worlds?
Why would orcs be *smaller* than other races? Aren't they the big hulking brutes?
