Missile tech tree question. (Devnull)

[gosho mladenoff]

so far the best i could do is as follows:
Name := Missile Pod I
Description := A set of several capital ship missiles dragged behind the ship.
Pic Num := 1262
Tonnage Space Taken := 5
Tonnage Structure := 10
Cost Minerals := 150
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 150
Vehicle Type := Ship
Supply Amount Used := 10
Restrictions := Three Per Vehicle
General Group := Weapons
Family := 2053
Roman Numeral := 1
Custom Group := 0
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Missile Weapons
Tech Level Req 1 := 1
Number of Abilities := 3
Ability 1 Type := Extra Movement Generation
Ability 1 Descr := Generates -3 bonus movement points.
Ability 1 Val 1 := -3
Ability 1 Val 2 := 2
Ability 2 Type := Armor
Ability 2 Descr := Is damaged before any other components on a ship.
Ability 2 Val 1 := 0
Ability 2 Val 2 := 0
Ability 3 Type := Standard Ship Movement
Ability 3 Descr := Generates 0 standard movement.
Ability 3 Val 1 := 0
Ability 3 Val 2 := 0
Weapon Type := Seeking
Weapon Target := Ships\Planets
Weapon Damage At Rng := 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Weapon Damage Type := Normal
Weapon Reload Rate := 30
Weapon Display Type := Seeker
Weapon Display := 1
Weapon Modifier := 0
Weapon Sound := capshpms.wav
Weapon Family := 86
Weapon Seeker Speed := 6
Weapon Seeker Dmg Res := 30

unfortunatly the limitations to negative speed prevent this type of platform from functioning well in an AIC galaxy with their engine platforms because the pods don't drop once fired, giving the original speed and defence bonuses back.

"Ability 1 Type := Standard Ship Movement
Ability 1 Descr := Generates -1 standard movement.
Ability 1 Val 1 := -1
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0"


Not the best fix but so it won't take up engine space give it the following instead...

"Ability 1 Type := Combat Movement
Ability 1 Descr := blah blah blah, reduces ship combat speed in combat...
Ability 1 Val 1 := -1
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0

This means it will slow the ship down only in combat (which might work....as they are deployed during combat not when the ship is in non-combat mode). Additional 'pods' should reduce combat speed again I think....

gosho mladenoff if you get the OK from Rollo it is a go...

Hmm, what about being destroyed after use?

[Grand Lord Vito]

This becoming more and more like a new design by you Gosho then another’s

[gosho mladenoff]

I tested the negative combat movement. unfortunatly it doesn't seem to work. it doesn't slow down the ship but if enough negative combat movement bonuses are given then the ship has no strategic movement at all. plus for some reason the destroyed on use doesn't work in the combat screen. Although i haven't extentesively tested this part yet as i die after firing from enemy fire.
maybe these areas need to be addressed in the final game patch?
anyone know where I can find Rollo?

thanx in advance
