artemisFowl made a weapon a few weeks ago that damage's the player's own armor when it's fired. Let me know if you're interested so I can remember to ask him for the code. You do that :D Thanks! OK - I just sent him a PM. I may not get a reply for quite a while - possibly not even until September.

Regarding swivel, I like that suggestion. It could potentially be linked with something that adds more swivel for lighter guns and less for heavier guns, potentially adjusting this by ship so that there is a clearer distinction between fighters and heavy gunships, with the former being more agile a...

There are some great suggestions here. We could definitely use a greater variety of missiles. Ships could do with built-in swivel so that the vanilla weapons don't have to be modified. Swivel also needs to a property of the weapon slot so that mods can't make swivel go away (by setting fire arc to N...

This is for the PDmod update, not for the vanilla devices.

I'm not sure what you mean by going against a device as opposed to with it. Could you please provide more details?

What do you think about taking away the hitpoints and giving each shot a damage of 1? That would make it possible to balance against vanilla devices. Yeah that would be fine, so it would basically be an area denial for missiles but still let beams go through. It sounds like we need to take the 360-...

No idea how to make it balanced but the idea is it makes a cloak of particles to block damage. Maybe just make the cloak thinner or have less particle emission per second. I'm thinking about how we can incorporate this device into the PDmod update. It does look very difficult to balance. What do yo...

Are you using typGetXML?

Join us in IRC sometime. There are several of us that are trying to figure it out.

Here's a mod that is the simplest possible example of using typGetXML and typCreate together: Reprogrammed Launchers https://forums.kronosaur.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=7577 It was a proof-of-concept that also gave me an item I wanted in the game pretty badly anyway. I've linked to it several times in...

Thanks! This is very helpful.

It's yet another thread that deserves to be stickied.

Question on "friendly but angry" ships: Does sysFindObject using "Y Only objects angry at the player (or enemies)" work on green/friendly ships? Sort of. Here's what I'm using: "bsmY -H N:20" This targets the following: Red ships Missiles and beams fired by red ships Green, angry ships (This is a w...

UPDATE It turns out that ICX devices are only shooting at friendly freighters when "Fire at Angry Friendlies" is ON *and* the freighters are associated with an angry station, such as an annoyed Black Market station. This isn't a bug so much as it is an annoyance, since the game doesn't give any indi...

I think that's AssumedPseudonym's intention: the targeting ROM is an aid that's offered before the mission is over.

I wish rumors were revamped like this so that it makes the universe more "alive". At least tell the player a lot of important info or maybe even give a lot of randomly generated sidequests from random people you meet at the bar. That's one of the things I like about Eternity Port. Visiting stations...
