my overlay is not removing

The thread on more realistic solar panel arrays led me to try an overlay based approach for an external solar panel. Unfortunately I am running into problems. when the overlay is damaged to maximum it disappears like a pteravore, and damages the solar panel array device. That works fine. But twice, ...

Re: More powerful and more realistic Solar Panel Arrays

I've got something in the works too, the concept is basically the same as RPC's. At the moment when used it adds a solar panel looking overlay (rendered in doga), which falls off when shot 25 times and refuels the reactor until then (even in complete darkness...), but eventually my vision is: 1. ins...

Re: Favourite LvL 8 Thermo Weps

they can bust a late game station in 2 - 4 hits, for one thing. They also have a large area shockwave so as to hit lots of ships in a swarm and be a little forgiving of bad aim. The more common micronuke lacks the power but moves faster. If I can't get an ares launcher I usually drop launchers all-t...

Did you, or any of your autons or wingmen, blow up any Huari ships? I haven't gotten far enough to test yet in 1.06a.

Re: Loot all

I just uploaded an update. If the hold is full it will let you know via text and an error beep. You can now define two custom options for loot and jettison (old custom settings will be forgotten). The help button in the custom screens lists the criteria. The help only seems to go through once, but m...

Re: Long Range Scanner: What needs improvement?

If we have shapes how about squares for stations? (shipwrecks not included) Bigger ships could be represented with a bigger dot, based on image size. Anything attacking something (ordered to attack), as opposed to guarding or on patrol, could flash or pulse in intensity. I still see colors determini...

Re: Loot all

It will attempt to loot on a per item basis even if your hold is full (or mostly full). It will run through the list of items, starting with the most valuable for its weight, and loot what will fit. If an item won't fit it will skip it and look at the next until there are no more. It might only grab...

Re: Control Change?

It won't work ctrl+c? my guess is: 1. you have another key, perhaps alt, windows, or shift, which windows thinks is down, press them all and see if it fixes it. 2. you have some piece of software that is preventing that combination from working (autohotkey for example is capable of blocking keys, or...

Re: Adjusting Targeting Tollerance

You can adjust the AISettings tag on the ship in question. Increasing perception increases distance it can target (or see, I think, if a non player ship. the default is 4).

Loot all

This is a mod that, as the name suggests, adds a "loot all" option to the loot dockscreen. It also adds a jettison all to dsJettison, and the cargo hold. The loot all and jettison all don't do exactly what you might expect. They throw you to another dockscreen where you get to choose what is looted ...

Re: Deadliest enemy

There's a glitch where a ship in formation doesn't respect its own max speed. Get a group of fleet wingmen (or a dwarg behemoth) and fly in a straight line, they will keep up despite not having an enhanced titan fusion drive. I think the ferian warriors going so fast is somehow related to that. They...

Re: What should I order from Corporate Trade Post?

pm6 slicer? It's actually weaker than a dual particle, which is weaker than a katana. I usually order weapon optimizer roms (avoid the clearly labeled defective ones). They come in threes and everything does more damage when it shoots faster, unless it has a capacitor in which case it will also run ...

Re: Decoys

Do we have a point of view function yet? You could produce one drone, make it the player ship, then put the player back in control of the original ship. Anything attacking the playership will go for the drone.
