Can you make a weapon do more than one type of damage? Now this alien bio weapon would be able to do one type of damage one and another based on what type of weapon you fed it or something like that. I tried to make a weapon which does more than one type of damage by using the semicolon ";" separato...

Looks like there have been a number of minor balance changes. From the pic you can see that Class I deflectors have 25hp with slow regen now, armor can be upgraded and the Sapphire starts with a 15 MW reactor. The thrust and mass values of the sapphire may have been changed. I can't see how the thru...

Replenishing ammunition

I don't use ammo weapons in the game for one reason - the total ammunition in the game is limited. One way to fix this would have been to introduce restocking in stations. But George says he won't be implementing that in the next version. That's fine with me. So I've been thinking of other alternati...

I use a Ferian miner modship. Low armor, low maxspeed maxweapons=2 and 300 cargo space, 75000 fuel. Hard to battle with but excellent for a hoarder like me. Or I use a freighter. Don't use the sapphire or the wolfen except with my 18 degree swivel mod.

I had over 500000 credits one system past St.K's. Oh yeah? I've had over a million :)[/boast] I've actually run into minus credits, which happens when the figure gets too high, but only with modding. Okey fine. My record stood for like 3hrs. But you've been playing for so long. I've played this gam...

Make it so that once the game creates an inventory for a particular station for a particular game, no new items are added to the inventory. And make the regen times increase gradually. That would prevent infinite money. I like randomized inventories but I hate it, I mean absolutely HATE it when I ma...

Heh, I've played a couple of games where I found a commonwealth fortress right after Rigel Aurius. One was my very first game. So, it didn't make any diff. But the second was quite recent. And by the second, I knew how to run Trade routes. Tempus Labs -> Black Market, Fuel Station -> Ice Farm, Ice F...

How often would you check? if you have a long ship with a thin profile, it is possible for a weapon to miss the leading edge, but hit the ship somewhere in the middle. It should be. Maybe, the ship could be divided into sections and all the parts which are in the part of the blast would be checked....

I did that too. I used to go two or three systems back to sell loot. And I would try and loot everything in Charon. Oh that and not reading the text of how the launcher would get replaced when I installed a new. I thought Tab was to switch between the launchers. Wasted a lot of money there. And not ...

So as to distinguish between the thinner and thicker parts of the ship? Like if you have a dumbbell shaped ship. You'd put a higher percentage at the ends and a lower one in the middle? Seems like a good idea to me but is it currently modable? Can't think of anyway to do it.

Its really not that hard to take them out. Its got an omni turbolaser. I don't find them any more dangerous than Vikings. What bugs me is that they take SO LONG to kill. 36 armor sections and 80hp each. I end up getting frustrated and start doing suicidal runs. They usually work.... i mean the suici...

I think the ship specs are also very important for a different gameplay experience. Like a wind slaver with little max armor and cargo. And a heavy gunship or something which'll take a lot of hits and weapons. Sort of extension of the wolfen and the ei500 in both directions. Don't think its a good i...

I run into this when docked and forgetting to disable the ICX. I've left Ringer stations and had them open fire on me. It doesn't really make sense that your ICX continues to fire while you are docked. Well your enemies can fire at you when you are docked, that is the game does not pause. So, its l...
