No you can't mod the restrictions (assuming I understood you correctly).

Suicide Junkie · #**122** May 13th, 2003, 07:06 PM

Some restrictions, such as the "one spaceyard per vehicle" are hardcoded.

On individual components, you are free to change the restrictions.
The ones I know are available now:
- None
- One Per Vehicle
- Two Per Vehicle
...
- Ten Per Vehicle

I think he meant, "can you mod what the restrictions are?", which you can't do.

I'm thinking of getting rid of the tech grid idea and going with open-ended tech levels instead. Projectile Weapons alone has 21 tech areas and 10 x 10 x 10 components (well, actually, more like 5 times that amount)!

I could then easily add a few areas like "miniaturization" and "ship hardening" or whatever, and not worry about conflicts. And, less math involved!

Thoughts/opinions?

As long as you don't go insane with them, tech grids are fine.

Missiles might work well with that- one tech area for the launcher/projectile, another for the warhead.

Yes, well, not going insane with things isn't gonna happen.

Incredible.

very interesting, I was thinking wrong all along.

Would that happen also for Regenerate Armor?
Like if Regenerate armor put on armor component, regenerate all armor component with regenerate armor ability (even if 0), and if put on a non-armor component, regenerate all component with regenerate armor ability (evebn non armor) ?

Regeneration doesn't care whether it is armor or not. I think a comp might need a regen ability of one to be able to regenerate though, but I am not sure. You could always test it in a jiffy!

Thanks for all your clarification, I'm gonna heavy test now.

But I got many new concept.

Maybe I can go something original/different that make everything worth it.
