Deathstalker's Mount Mod--SeV

[President_Elect_Shang]

I used the AI Tag XX ability to get around this problem. Give the component (armor, etc) an AI Tag then make it a requirement on the mount.

Example from my Antimatter warhead mount:
Code:

---

Requirement 1 Description                       := The -AM package will work on most missile launchers. 

Requirement 1 Formula                           := Does_Component_Have_Ability("AI Tag 02")

---

Or, just call for one of the abilities of the component directly...

Requirement 1 Description := Applies only to engines.
Requirement 1 Formula := Does_Component_Have_Ability("Movement Standard")

I've done a few tests, I don't think that the Component - Weapon To Hit Percent modifier works on mounts, I created a few mounts with the following To Hit Percent modifiers:
-100, -50, -10, 10, 50, 100. There was no difference in the combat abilities of the ships with the mounts. Can someone confirm this (or tell me I'm wrong and why?).

confirmed. Also, range-increasing abilties don't work either. :/ They show up in the component report, but not in combat.

Correction: range increase DO work, but you have to start a new game for them to take effect in combat.

You mean after you add the mount to the design?

[Phoenix-D]

Not exactly.

I had a savegame, made the changes to the mounts, loaded the savegame.

Now any ship with that mount would show 190ls range, but only have 90ls range in combat.
