SE5 - 1.17 Patch Out

[Fyron]

Using Getright is very rude to everyone else struggling with limited bandwidth availability... It's like installing a special pipe from the water main to your house during a huge drought.

Am I the only one who thinks that AIs started to think a lot slower with this new patch?

[Captain Kwok]

The AI slowdown is really caused by AI pathing calculations or combats - not really it's actually thinking.

Am I right to think that Armor ability is flawed in the sense that it is considered only when the component is actually on an Armor slot ?

I tried an Armor component on the outter slot but the damagetype does not seems to apply.
I'm seen SJ using such armors in outter slot but I don't remember him using the damagetype for it (like damage penetration 50%).

Any idea ?

SJ's armor in GGMod is leaky; it is not meant to have armor ability.

Just a technical note:
I think it may still actually have the ability, it just dosen't do anything since the components aren't armor by not being in the armor slot...

I left it there because the components are working as intended, and I got distracted.
Now, its just something to tidy up in the next revision.

The directional armor is technically internals, while the leaky shields I plan to add will be technically armor. I plan to not use the game's shield mechanics at all.

[Elsemeravin]

So do you agree that you cannot do directional leaky armor ?
(As I intended...)

I agree that the actual "Armor" slot is not interesting for real armor. I plan to use it for whole ship specifics only (like radioactive treatment reducing beam damage, or rubber isolation from electric damage or the like). The same way the Inner Hull component are not logical and I plan to use them only for sizeless/structureless components such as computer programs, crew training and such, which would be destroyed once there is nothing left.

But I really consider a pitty not to be able to use the damagetype setting, which has a big potential in my opinion, for Outter Hull "Armor".

It's also possible to download the patch through Strategy First homepage...

There are 6 different download services, so at least one of them should work :-)

AI's definitely generally slower with 1.17, even though the slowdowns are thankfully gone. AI pathing should and could probably be optimized alot, both for players and AIs.
