Well, that comment was related to Version 1.05. As you can see, something did come up and there are two newer Versions that fixed some problems.

[Rollo]

That being said, I believe the newest Version will be available very soon.

Looks like emissive and scattering armor -may- have been fixed then? Suggestion to beta testers: test what happens if stores.txt calls for a comp level below 1 (eg, -3 offset, level 1 player).

Directed torps work now actually, you just have to specify them in the file. The extra stuff is nice though.

Which "response range" is being extended by weapon ranges?

[Baron Munchausen]

Response range is the range at which the AI ships react to another ship's presence. As it was, you could mod long-ranged weapons and bLast the AI with impunity as long as you stayed out of the rigid response range. Now they actually notice when you are in missile range.
