Should missile pods be rechargeable?

RPC · Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:15 am

Just wondering. I always thought they were rechargable, and spent my first few playthroughs trying to get them recharged. Any idea on how to implement this?

should be possible

but IMO the easiest way to "recharge" them is to script it to just give you a new pod (with out the player knowing its a new pod)
.....
all that aside

it says in game that they are disposable. hence its not possible to recharge them in vanilla

The vanilla disposable launcher has up to 16 charges (it has the attributes charges="16" and valueCharges="true"). To get the current amount use itmGetCharges, and to set them, itmSetCharges

My mod Weapons Pack 912 features reloadable missile racks.

Actually, yes. I have weapons in my current version SW&A that could have code lifted from them to reload pods. Or alternatively, add the code into shipyard and some other stations. It's not actually that hard..and as seen above, it's been done a few times. I'm thinking about maybe changing the mechanics of missile-pods for SW&A...shouldn't be all that hard.
