So Far so good i've encounted no bugs so far and the only promblem i had was taking on the Rhineland attack of willard in a galaxy.
(idea i keep seeing pop up is the ship class sheilds)
Also whats the differents if any between Civ Generator and Border World Generator. looking at the info card i can stop at gen 4 and get the same power from the last. please tell me this is a info card messup and not the real deal.

Also to those reading DO NOT USE the best afterburner on a epee i bought it and shortly there-after needed to be scraped off a roid.

Besides the gens everything is good here. now if you excuse me theres some retros(xenos) that need to Suck Void
P.S. Just bought my Banshee and did a mission she's a dream..only 1 problem.
She can't land Anywhere even with the ghost docking ring she can't dock at any station/planet. would like to know whats wrong with my ship

Let me start by saying im a long tme reader, first time poster, and warzog ive been folowing this mod since before bob came back from his hidey hole. anyways, i can easily tweak the .cmp files to fix the misangled guns on the different ships, ive actually already done it on my home comp on a few, the sabre, hellcat and gladius, if youd like i can fix the rest and upload to the reactor so you can grab it and add it back in to the next version

heh, of course you can play with cmp files, but they will be overriden in my update, so all changes you will make a temporary...

and please, leave my beloved Hellcat alone it is Confed's baseline fighter... I love it, although I always took the thunderbolt, which has enough punch to kill a small cap ships with its 6 guns.

Speaking of heavy fighters... expect the Excalibur very soon (retexture is needed before importing it into the game)

Well the patch fixed this and Vindicators problem, so try that.

Say had Particle Cannon in WC/Priv the longest range? I allways thought it was Tachyon Cannon that had the longest range.

ah come on tolwyn, all it needs is just a single node fix and the guns work fine just copy the orientation from the corresponding hardpoint on the other side and your all set, no messing required. oh, and a bug report, mornigstars missile mounts are off the model, not very critical just thought youd like to know

another thing i just remembered, knowing that engine upgrades were not available in priv/rf are ther plans to add that side of things to the reckoning? also i remembered that another mod, i think it was rebalance, had other kinds of upgrades aside from base shield and generator upgrades, like ones that lower shield downtime (i know with current regen stats not a big deal but might be changed after bugs are worked out) or decrease thruster drain etc. any plans to add those?

Shotglass_Da_Barkeepa:
The Generator stats are all wrong-already fixed for v2.4
The Border Worlds Generator is better.

There is a warning about the Super Afterburner for that very reason!!!

The Banshee landing problem can be fixed with the patch in the download section.

After v1.06, I reworked them to follow FL a bit closer.
May have to rework them again.

black_phoenix:
I tried Engine Upgrades earlier...
Only problem being that you can only upgrade when you buy a new ship, or lose your engine.
FL doesn't allow you to trade engines.

Currently, shield down time is 1 second, it's normally 12 seconds in FL.
If I went to 0 seconds, the shields never go down, and you never do damage to an enemy's ship!

I lowered the Thruster Drain in v1.06, but everyone complained, so I boosted it.

Update:
Pulled an all-nighter...
I've checked 15 of the 24 ships...
Still haven't found the one causing the crashes!
But I have a sneaking suspicion that it's not so much the ship file, as it is where I used it.
IE:
The Drone replacing the Nomad Fighter...
The Paradigm replacing the gunboats, etc.
I need some sleep!
'Til later...

is it possible to have an add on that increases base engine speed without replacing the engine? if so we could just have a single base engine and then a whole raft of upgrade addon thingies. i think this should be possible, but with my luck it probably wont work

black_phoenix:
I really don't know.
Bob McDob is the add-on expert...
He's the one who came up with the armor upgrades!!!


Watch your 6!

something just hit me warzog, most of the CTD in trade lanes have been with ships that have a certain style of exhaust nozzle, is it possible that the placement of the nozzles and their interaction with the trade lane particle effects cause the crashes?

Thanks for all the replies Warzog! I've always appreciated regular updates, and you've gone beyond that! GJ!

I dunno if this helps, but I went around this thread and looked up the posts that had something to do with trade lane CTDs. Here's the list I got.

Centurion- Norfolk to Texas
Epee- Hamberg to berlin, then to first tradelane. also CTD when circumvent tradelane and dock at dortmund
Arrow- Norfolk to Texas
Stiletto- Norfolk to Texas
Unknown ship- Freeport 4 to Manchester
Unknown ship- Tradelanes in Kepler, launch from montezuma base in Cortez


Hope this helps.

WHAT IS THE MP SERVER NAME??

i have another bug for warzog

this one has to do with factions... makes it impossible to tell which faction is which- apparantley they were not all switched, for example in bars a faction goes under one name, but in space they go under another, so far have only found this with the outcasts and liberty navy, will keep checking
