shipyard graphics

Atrocities:
I didn't put the space yards in the images mod, because they don't really seem like facilities. Should I add them to the mod?

Rlaney:
I made the picture into the right size and made a mini for it: Fed. Orbital Space Yard.zip

Thank you very much Imperator. That helps me quite a bit. I'm puttin a "unique ancient orbital construction facility" into the game. Just got find enough ruins now to see if it pops up. Anybody know if the abilities file is editable or if it is just a description of things hardcoded into the game? Wanna make resupply ships or "away teams" to gather supplies from uninhabited planets in the sector. Think that it would be cool instead of goin clear back to a resupply depot just stop at an empty planet and gather supplies. Might work, might not. Anyway, thanks for all the help guys. I'm sure I'll have more questions later.

There is one golden rule of thumb on SE IV:

EVERYTHING is changable.

abilities.txt is not used by the game, it is just a reference file for modders.

Yeah, except in this case it's wrong.

You can change abilities.txt.. but it won't do anything. It's just a FYI file.

Rlaney:
No problem. Glad I could help. There are pictures like that for the Ferengi, Romulans, Klingons and Cardassians in BotF, which I could post for you if you want them.

Thanks again Imperator. I don't need any others as that is going to be under a unique tech so... I would like to find a way to make planets more difficult to wipe out. I don't think 1 escort with 1 depleted uranium cannon should be able to kill 47 million people in 10 combat turns. If I up the maximum damage to kill population then that also becomes the minimum damage any weapon does against the planet. Maybe make it so only drones can target planets??? Then you'd need a bomber to wipe out a planet. I don't know how the ai would handle it though so I'll have to keep playin with things. Ideas welcome.
