Re: Unusual New Propulsion Idea
The problem is, we don't have any sort of scripting language to do that with, just the static data files. There IS no way to put an "if" statement in the data files. That's why I've been bugging Aaron to put scripting and/or plugins into SE5 
(btw, no offense intended but you might want to brush up on your programming... wouldn't
If amount(suns in system) = 0 then
ship.movement.bonus = 0
else
ship.movement.solarpanel.bonus = ship.equipment.solarpanel.level
end if
be easier? )

Or perhaps the even shorter:
ship.movement.solarpanel.bonus = Iif(amount(suns in system) > 0, ship.equipment.solarpanel.level, 0)

Re: Unusual New Propulsion Idea
Plug ins for SE5 yeah sounds like a good idea - wonder if they will keep the SEIV patches coming though ?

Re: Unusual New Propulsion Idea
Probably not. The plans have been to make one final SE4 patch, then work full steam on SE5.

Re: Unusual New Propulsion Idea
I could have done my pseudo code a shorter one, but not all lurkers are code makers and I wanted to make it easily understandable using simple IF statements.
Does anyone have any knowledge what are the main differences in SEV compared to SEIV (Fyron, Geoschmo, anyone)?

Re: Unusual New Propulsion Idea
SEV is still under wraps. As far as I know, all that has been done is a bit of groudnwork and interface work.
