2: Until you get at least a Nova-100 and decent gear, I would say it’s definitely worth it to collect and offload damaged goods at them. It can add up faster than you might expect. It generally stops being worth it sometime between Rigel Aurelius and St. Kat’s, though. Prices just get too steep at ...

That's not correct. Capital ships can have multiple weapons hardpoints and can mount heavier armor. Try equipping the ICS's armor plating and you'll see what I mean. As I mentioned above, this can have multiple weapons hardpoints is the only advantage for me of big ships over smaller ones. Especial...

I am not entirely sure but check out Huari. You can become friendly with them which makes you be able to dock their stations.

This topic is about one weakness in game's balance. As you progress, you get better weapons, armor, but one thing never changes - your hitbox (unless you are playing with Player Drones, but that's a different story). This makes one huge difference between you and others: other need to become larger ...

Just downloaded and played a bit. Decided to do a little speedrun without changing armor and stuff, only 1st system weapons and standard reactor. And it crashed at Jiang's Star system. Here's the crash log: 04/02/2015 00:38:14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------...

For some reason the forum doesn't allow me to use [spoiler] tags and also trims spaces and tabs at the beginning of each line so I had to replace tabs with this ░░░░░. But anyway, I hope this way it looks better.

It's always bothered me that it doesn't really matter for tactics what type of damage type your weapon have. Here's a suggestion - to add complex math for damage types. Tier 1 (Direct transfer of energy) Laser. ░░░░░It's really just a ray of light. ░░░░░Any armor receives this ray unchanged except t...

It doesn't really matter because tachyonic weapons are supposed to be extremely piercing weapons which pierce through shields and armor. On the second thought they also carry less damage because they basically interact with matter fewer times. So it should be something insanely piercing and not real...

Well, I want to try my luck.

*Probably* that's because you have a space in your path.

Does TLISP support "infinity" for num variables?

(setq X infinity) --> X = 1.#INF or inf depending from the OS.
(setq X (divide X X)) --> X = 1.#IND or nan depending from the OS.

Next, I have the Cheat codes mod, but it doesn't seem to be fully working right. The code (bmcrime) gives me a "nil" result, and (cleanslate), (cleanslate bm), (bmcrime "nil" 0) and (bmcrime nil 0) don't stop them from hating me. I've tested a bit and blew up a commonwealth station, and (cwcrime) g...

I'm thinking about making a very choice-dependent mod. Destroying anything in a one system will have an impact in every other system (ie kill a base or capital ship, set baseDestroyed="true" and there's a firing squad waiting at every gate). I also wanted to have wingmen who could "perform" mission...

I should mention I do not need to make the player hold the fire button as done in arcade/console games. If the player is idling, it is understood he is holding the fire button down. I mention holding the fire button down because that is how it worked in R-Type and many other similar games, but the ...

Probably not. In Weapon Extended 5 they solved the problem by making virtual station "capacitor". So when you hold fire weapon button - it uses this virtual station to store the charge. As you released this button (it was made very easy) the capacitor released all its held charge. Here's what to use...

I hope it's just "middle of the damage range It is. 4d6 will yield (4+24)/2=12 average dam. DPS is Damage Per Second . Note that damage is applied as if there is no resistances or level differences at all. The problem here is that when resistances and level-difference calculated, they use MULTIPLY ...
