Looks like emissive and scattering armor -may- have been fixed then? Suggestion to beta testers: test what happens if stores.txt calls for a comp level below 1 (eg, -3 offset, level 1 player).

Directed torps work now actually, you just have to specify them in the file. The extra stuff is nice though.

Which "response range" is being extended by weapon ranges?

[Baron Munchausen]

Response range is the range at which the AI ships react to another ship's presence. As it was, you could mod long-ranged weapons and bLast the AI with impunity as long as you stayed out of the rigid response range. Now they actually notice when you are in missile range.

[Phoenix-D]

Baron, I knew that; I was one of those one that mentioned it to MM.

What I meant was the enemy file has this:

Response Range 1 Name := Short Range
Response Range 1 Distance := 120
Response Range 2 Name := Medium Range
Response Range 2 Distance := 160
Response Range 3 Name := Long Range
Response Range 3 Distance := 200

And another range could be added, its just that now nothing past 200ls would work. These are kind of meaningless if the response range just gets bumped to maxium weapon range..

For level 0, you get a level 1 component minus the ability increase per level, and it costs less.
Makes sense
