Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies

I have a newbie question :

What happened to the New Scenario / Mod forum ? How do we upload stuff now ?

Ruatha · #2 April 30th, 2003, 09:21 AM

The upload forum is still there.
Make a new post and select upload file (HTML link to the left).

Having said that this type of question is best asked as a new topic in the forum.
That way you will get your answer much quicker, and the content of your question is not really oriented towards the FAQ.
In this thread it's better to post things that are to be included in the faq or that you wish to be included.
The FAQ is aimed at the SE4 game and contains some info on the shrapnel forum but it won't be expanded in that area as that isn't the aim of this FAQ.

(Will update FAQ later today I hope and include what's below, if I get time)

Make sure to upload files in the appropriate threads. Do not create a new thread in the Mods/Scenarios forum for anything.

When you go into the 'Retrofit' screen, you can only select same-size ships...and all those ships you select, will have to be retrofitted into the same kind of ship. So if ya want to retrofit all your cruisers and all your battleships, first select the battleships to retrofit, retrofit them, then select the cruisers & retrofit them.[/QB][/quote]

Therefore, if you try to retrofit a ship with special tech you don't own, you will not be able to select the special components when creating the new design, so you will lose them.

This is true for *any* tech you don't own. If you retrofit a ship with DUC5 and you only have DUC4, you don't get to keep the DUC5 when you retrofit. Of course, any smart player would analyze that ship instead

You can only multi-retrofit ships of the same class, not just the same size.
