SEV Beta History starting V1.0

Can you ask Aaron about fixing the "Fire On" command. I consider not being able to fire on your own ship and destroy it a game breaker. Right now it only works if the ship being fired on has at least one movement point. He needs to remove that restriction.

Sys_Get_Space_Object_Cargo_Item_Design_ID"

What's that do? Tell you what the ship is carrying?

[Phoenix-D]

PES: pretty much every command has that problem, I think. :/

That was my first thought, but if it tells the cargo why the "Design" portion? Cargo that is from the vehicle design text maybe? I found a way to tell what that cargo ID is by the way; if anyone is interested that is.

It returns the design type of a cargo item.

Sys_Get_Number_Of_Units_In_Space_Sector huh? Do you think I could use that in the data files in order to create, for instance, a weapon which works best when there are lots of your ships around to "channel power" or something? Or do those system functions only work in the intel and AI scripts?

[Captain Kwok]

These are script functions only.
