Fair enough. Also doesn't stop me dying in Eridani vs suped up wolfens with heavy weapons and shielding *grins* But I'm getting there.

Korolov? In Eridani? Is that just some of the freighters being Korolov in origin? I certainly didn't see any Korolov stations there.

I've tried v5 recently and seen something odd. "Commonwealth attacks commonwealth" huh? I was in Eridani at the time and didn't see what they were attacking, but that sounds odd. Just letting you know, hasn't affected my game yet. Still dying horribly and frequently, same as always

That's one thing I always hated about certain scifi stuff. You see a lot stuff about a star turning into a black hole (or similar) and suddenly, what was in orbit around said star is pulled into the black hole. No matter was magically created, the gravity field is NOT bigger, it's just got much much...

Yeah, thought it was methane. Thanks TG.

They aren't bound in the same way as on earth though. Not as much energy stored in them (as far as I understand) as oil on Earth etc. But i"m fairly sure they could be used as fuel... just that, as I said, compared to nuclear reactions there is very little actual energy stored there, even in oil. Wo...

Just as long as no-one tries to make a 'hydrocarbon burning reactor'. *sigh* Yes, you could make an MHD using hydrocarbons and some kind of oxidant, but given that fusion reactors in game burn through fuel rather rapidly I think any reactor using hydrocarbons would last something on the order of 1 s...

Good job I hadn't gotten far in my new game then. Back to the drawing board!

Keep up the good work SDW

It isn't working. I'm getting an error on startup: "t31-class armed transport (3009) unknown image d912516c. This is the UNID on the 40 facing file, but it's a different UNID on the Ships file in the same folder. I'm assuming you don't disable the ships folder as it seems to have a good deal of XML ...

Don't think I've encountered the Juan Carlos mission, but I did do the supply missions a few times. Actually once with a big ship (I think EI7000) that was FULL of minerals, when I got the minerals back after the mission EVERYTHING I got back was doubled. Not sure why. Took a while to sell enough to...

I tried it but it conflicted with some other mod I was running (forget which now) so I re-disabled them. It'd be nice to have, but tricky with so many other mods out there that modify other ships

Yeah, I don't get as much time to mess with this stuff as I want, so I check stuff out when I get home from work or in the morning before I head out or the weekends when I'm not working Saturdays. Plus I'm on EST, a little different from New Zealand time *grins* But if anyone wants me to program a C...

Not sure how likely I'll be to meet anyone on IRC as I'm on 10 hr shifts at work and my time at home is a little limited at present, but I might give it a go over the weekend (maybe not this weekend, I'm a little busy... we'll see). Thanks for the tips, that helps quite a bit. :) btw, what time zone...

OK, I'm trying to build a shield that can change it's own statistics by destroying itself and creating a new shield with a new set of stats. So far so good. When the initial 'starter' shield is defined it has not only the normal stats (HP, HPBonus etc) but also a series of variables assigned to the ...
