Yep.

Could you model SD(P)s by creating a component called, oh, "Hollow Core Pod Launcher" that's limited to 1 per ship, takes up a huge amount of room, but can also launch /and/ store a very large number of drones?

Still doesn't seem to model them well, but it's the best shot yet.

(yes, I'm still working on this. Slowly. )

Funny.

At the moment I'm re-working for the patch. Testing out different styles- haven't decided if the bigger energy weapons should just be mounts, or actual components. Leaning toward components, because then I can do other things with the mounts.

*beats head against desk*

SE4 is not liking me. The update in short is that I have very little done. I am running into MAJOR problems. Right now I'm just trying to get energy-only SDs up and running.

Se4 is not liking this at all. I have two SDs, identical designs, in the sim. They have:
1 bridge
5 CQ/LS
supply storage
4 1000kt Grasers doing 1000 damage, Quad to shields.
a number of Sidewall generators that give 1200 shield points and have 1200 Crystalline ability.

what happens most often is the SDs fire, and can't penetrate the shields becase I've made them too powerful. OK, fine.. but occasionally they will breach the shields, damage the components within..and stop firing. Neither ship will fire a shot for the rest of the battle, despite fully recharged weapons and good to-hit chances. this is on tactical, as well.
