Really? I assumed that that's how the DUC Auto Cannons that I saw in P&N or Proportions (can't remember which atm) worked.

P&N's DU Autocannons aren't point-defense; they're just smaller Versions of DUCs.

Re: SEIV Modding 101: A Tutorial
Excellent Page! I notice you have a future chapter planed for abilities. One thing I would really like to know is what abilites work or don't work with the various components/facilities etc. I gather some abilites such as research generation will not do anything on a component. Also some abilities are obviously designed for stars or planets. I wonder if anyone has ever compiled a list of the abilites that work on components, and one for facilites etc. etc. I like to be able to filter the abilities in my moding tool but don't having enough modding experience to do this.

Do I sense a lack of respect for Mr.Fyron's fine work? |

Re: SEIV Modding 101: A Tutorial
There wouldn't be much to write for a scenario tutorial. Create a game where you control all the empires. Have each of them build, colonize, research, etc. whatever you want them to. Then, set all the AI empires back to AI control, and save it as a scenario.
In fact, you can speed the process up by cheating. Make the resource and research facilities make 500k instead of 500, and make SYs produce at 20K instead of 2K, and you can set it up much quicker. Make engines have +40 bonus MPs so you can move them to where you want them to be quicker. Since you are controlling every empire, you don't have to worry about extra stuff being done by the AI. Remove these changes after you are done, and you're good to go.

Re: SEIV Modding 101: A Tutorial
It is coming. 
Actually... I have been distracted and haven't worked on it recently.  |
