Re: The Gaian BFG

I focus all my fire on the front of most big ships too, that way all the damage is on the same armor segment or three, and they die much faster (not to mention drop more undamaged armor segments). With Gaians(sp) I match velocity and shoot from behind, though.

Re: CSC ships destroyed the freighter

Sometimes messages don't pop up when they are supposed to, and get stuck in the queue until you get another, different one.

Re: Switches, If's and Checking Values

That's because

Code: Select all

(geq (objGetData gPlayerShip "LincolnOutpostsDestroyed") 1)
is executed before

Code: Select all

(geq (objGetData gPlayerShip "LincolnOutpostsDestroyed") 2)
reverse the order, it will stop at the first condition or set of conditions that are satisfied.

Mods can crash / lock up the computer under certain conditions. You may lose unsaved data but no permanent damage.

Re: Dynamic Systems

I think it has something to do with a ship's weapon, shield, armor, and maybe speed. I have no Idea what information it uses or how, only that something with a bigger combat power is generally more dangerous.

Re: Help me spend my cash

Technically longzhus only work on weapons labeled "energy weapon" (not sure on spaces or capitalization). The nice thing is the first sphere increases damage (and perhaps hp in the case of shields) by 20% instead of the usual 10, so if you have a sphere and an enhancer use the sphere first.

Re: Ferian Ventari and Huari

Superconducting coils can also be turned into superconducting shields by a tinker and sold for massive profit.

Additionally any of the factions can be farmed for fuel, assuming your reactor is compatible.
the ventari also drop orthosteel armor, which can be sold too.

Re: Some help adding a ship, please?

When attempting to turn (clockwise) and the ship reaches a 6:00 facing, the image/icon of the ship in space immediately jumps to the 12:00 facing, without passing through the left hemisphere of the turn. It does the same thing when turning counterclockwise, and again, does not move through the left...

Re: Transcendence with a... Gamepad?

I tried using a gamepad once, but found that I was faster and more precise with 3 fingers on the movement controls (greatly aided by custom key bindings, initially via autohotkey), granted I didn't give it enough time to really adjust to it and old/heavily used ps2 or xbox controllers aren't ideal.

Re: Bug: Domina power recharge time resets

I made a fix for this bug too, you can find it on xelerus here . It works by: 1. replacing unvGetTick with unvGetTickDom for the context of domina.xml, reading a stored variable instead of the resetting unvGetTick. (setq unvGetTickDom (lambda Nil (block (ticks) (setq ticks (typGetGlobalData &stDomin...

Re: Bug: Domina power recharge time resets

Specifically in the case of domina powers unvGetTick resets every time the game is saved and restarted.
