Done, thanks.

Probably you selected different ships types at once and then clicked the Fighter build icons - different Ships have different fighters at the same icon positions, depending on loadout.

Thanks, I will look at all this come next week (or the week thereafter)

Thanks, well said. But the weapons change was easy and I really liked the idea.

Yes, it will. Thanks.

I'd rather have a 4th weapon for anti-fighter purposes, but still a neat idea.

MysticAngel said it isn't flawless which is true so if you can make it better, please do so and hand it back to me [e digicons]:')[/e]

What? I do not understand.

I know I know, still, while the possible combinations are not endless (far from it) I'll tale any work that is done as long as somebody can honestly say it's not copied.

Very big thanks in advance!

Of course, that is valid for all of us, even me . As for the credits, once I've got the files you will be named in Support and Coding instead of Support only.

Congrats and good luck!

Now that I'm project leader and team leader in my day job as well, there is even less time for sotyr, which I miss dearly. So please bear with me for not posting every day.

Titans use the same strikecraft code as other ships; if it is so desired one can easily make Titans use antimatter when spawning fighters.

Rebellion's start up thing has some weird ass functions built into it; namely that, if my understand is correct, requires Titans to have a Cosmetic counterpart (the one that shows up in the start up "map"). Additionally, as it's a randomly generated map, this means that each time you go to the main menu, the game generates a new map. This results in a longer start up phase for the game, and can be avoided by giving the galaxy map called FrontEnd a non-existent star as it's star type, which will essentially make the game load up blank/open space instead of a real map.

Thanks!

That's nice! Can you give me an example map? Thanks.

Yeah, it will need loads of balancing till we have a playable form

Fellow Modders,

Is there a handy listing of the new Rebellion weapon visual and audio effects and what they represent? Also, is there a list of color templates?

Thanks alot.

Will probably do, but looks mostly reasonable. Vorlons should already have higher hull restore rate though (I think)

Juding from the threads in this forum, it seems like you can only build one Titan at the shipyard, but you can spawn others via abilities.

Across all abilities; any ability can have a max of 4 levels. You'll notice you'll still have to add the fourth level tags to abilities and buffs even if you only plan on using 3 levels max.

Actually, assuming you do not need to add a fourth level to abilities, then it is simply a matter of pasting in new lines of code. Goafan helped me out with this greatly, made a script that upgraded all the ability and buff files you threw at it, with virtually no errors at all. All capital ship and Titan abilities can work with a maximum level cap of 3; I know SoGE works without a single ability having a cap of 4 levels.

TobiWahn, Darvroth,

  The mechanics of the Minbari Stealth ability always seemed a bit odd to me. It made the ship invulnerable for some unknown period of time and would drain AM at 15/sec until exhausted - period of invulnerability wasn't proportional to AM reserves. As it did not use a fixed AM cost it could be used even though a ship had no AM reserves. The ability wasn't set to auto-cast, so you'd have to micro-manage a fleet that was in a large battle, assaulting a heavily fortified system or (now they're awake in 0.43) engaging Shadow/Vorlon capital ships.

I've had a fiddle (first ability I've looked at) and hopefully come up with an implementation that's more like the standard SoaSE abilities.

* Uses 200/150/100 AM (similar to open jump point)

* Triggered when ship takes 20% hull damage

* Duration 10/12/15 sec

* Cool-down time still 60/45/30 sec

* Ability set to auto-cast by default

Does this sound reasonable?

What would be a nice counter (now that stealth requires an AM reserve) is for an Earth Alliance ship to have an AM depleting ability (Ion Bolt/EMP type weapon unlocked via research) which gives the EA a chance to disable the famous Minbari advantage.

Do spawned ships (titans in this case) count against the faction fleet logistics total? It is possible to spawn persistant ships that consume resources vice AM that in every other respect are as cost effective as the shiptype factory. Provided spawed ships also used fleet logistics it suggests a simple workaround to having multiple titan ships at least for the younger races.

TobiWahn,

I've uploaded revised entity files for the 6 proposed titans tickets: 28, 41, 43, 51, 58, and 61 are germane. (except Neroon which I'll upload tomorrow).

I've not adjusted ability or ship performance but have tweaked IAW reply 3759 above. I have in some cases added a fourth anti-fighter weapon however since there are now new weapon types this needs to be reviewed. Also I've zeroed out the UpgradeTypeCount and removed the placeholder files for possible future use. I've also not touched the prereq research though there are new associated lines of code.

Next step for me will be to begin remapping the tech trees for Rebellion. I will assume the choice can be made within the tech tree and will not require a new rebellion tech tree for each younger race.

Q: Do you want the titan research path from SoaSE or just adjust the entity for capital ships to also build titan? Or if that doesn't work build an ability for that? I can craft that pretty easily if desired.

[edit] I also didn't adjust negative culture which I vaguely recall another poster stating wasn't working as intended.

Correct but if a spawned titan reaches level 7, and your 'real' titan only reached level 4 and dies ... it comes back as level 7. This was my understanding at least with the early implementations of the game upon release. Has this changed?

Also, I do know that spawned titans do take up fleet logistics resources. What I don't know ... is if your fleet logistics are maxed out, can you still successfully spawn another titan via ability? GoaFan77 would probably know.
