Re: Hull Specific Components
Ok, i did some modding in the data files, can´t test it yet beacuse i don´t have SEIV in the computer that i´m now, but i always have my "current" data files in my pendrive...
I added the following component to components.txt:
Name := Commercial Charter
Description := Obsolete ship hulls can be sold to megacorporations and "rented" by the government, business practices reduce maintenance.
Pic Num := 1239
Tonnage Space Taken := 1000
Tonnage Structure := 1
Cost Minerals := 1
Cost Organics := 1
Cost Radioactives := 1
Vehicle Type := Ship
Supply Amount Used := 0
Restrictions := None
General Group := Miscelaneous
Family := 8001
Roman Numeral := 1
Custom Group := 0
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Ship Construction
Tech Level Req 1 := 3
Number of Abilities := 1
Ability 1 Type := Modified Maintenance Costs
Ability 1 Descr := Maintenance reduced to 50% of normal.
Ability 1 Val 1 := -50
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Weapon Type := None
Then i added the following mount:
Long Name := Commercial Charter
Short Name := Commercial Charter
Description := Mount used to bring the Commercial Charter to reasonable size.
Code := COM
Cost Percent := 100
Tonnage Percent := 1
Tonnage Structure Percent := 100
Damage Percent := 100
Supply Percent := 100
Range Modifier := 0
Weapon To Hit Modifier := 0
Vehicle Size Minimum := 150
Vehicle Size Maximum := 150
Comp Family Requirement := 8001
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Ship Construction
Tech Level Req 1 := 3
Vehicle Type := Ship
Is this right? would these modifications allow me to retrofit my old Escort hulls to add a "Commercial Charter" component when i reach ship tech level 3? And the component would be scaled to use only 10 spaces and reduce maintenance by half?
To make the same component appear at ship tech level 4 to be used in Frigate hulls i only need other mount changing the "vehicle size" variables and the tech requirements?
I can hardly wait to get back home so i can test this...
thanks
