Lots of questions and modifications

Weapon batteries, adding abilities and so on

from Sins Forums

Alright, got some questions  that are listed below:

 

Can someone explain how the whole weapon battery thing works? and is the dmg listed in the ship tooltip the amount of dmg each battery does? Would like to get this is detail

How can I modify different abilities? Like making shield recharge ability that recharges 37.5 every sec, to recharge 40 or 35 or whatever?

How do I add/remove amounts of hit points to different ships?

How can I add/remove abilities to different ships?

And lastly:

How do I make the modifications into a mod (so its not permanent).

 

Thanks in advance for any information given

* The weapon fires for the damage listed every BuffCoolDown period.  Burst and PointStagger settings are mainly graphical.  The tooltip listing is the damage-per-second of all 4 facings added together.

* change the relevant Ability*.entity file so it has a shorter recharge.

* Change the relevant Frigate* or Capital*.entity files so the ships have more hipoints.

*Add or remove abilities from the Ability#:"" lines in a Frigate* or Capital*.entity file

*Please search the forums. This information is covered extensively in many different threads.
