Next question; what is the difference between:

#1) GETL("X") >= (2 + ([%Lvl%] - 1)
and
#2) GETL("X") >= (1 + ([%Lvl%] - 1)

Which one will make this component appear at X level 2?

[Suicide Junkie]

#1) GETL("X") >= (2 + ([%Lvl%] - 1)
is the same as
GETL("X") >= ([%Lvl%] + 1)
GETL("X") - 1 >= ([%Lvl%])
level 2 tech or better gives level 1

#2) GETL("X") >= (1 + ([%Lvl%] - 1)
is the same as
GETL("X") >= [%Lvl%]
Level 1 tech or better gives level 1

Why Aaron used overcomplicated formulae with spurrious "1 - 1" bits I have no idea.

Good than I don't need to go back and redo everything. I was working away and thought of you and the problem you found ("This game thinks "100 + 5 - 5 - 100 = 0" is False"); stopped, and said "Hay I better ask to make sure before I get to much further along".

I'm not calculating the tonnage at all. What I'm doing is throwing in Standard Move to every component. So every component has something like this:

Code:

---

Ability 2 Type                                  := Movement Standard

Ability 2 Description                           := Generates [%Amount1%] standard movement.

Ability 2 Scope                                 := Space Object

Ability 2 Range Formula                         := 0

Ability 2 Amount 1 Formula                      := -X

Ability 2 Amount 2 Formula                      := 0

---

Where X is the tonnage /10.

I take it you don't plan to use any anti-engine weapons? What does stock call them? Found it; Ionic type weapons.
