Phoebus The Greatest

In the various Planet*.entity files, these variables control the size of the gravity wells: moveAreaRadius 40000.000000 (outer ring) hyperspaceExitRadius 30000.000000 (inner ring) In the Gameplay.constants file, these variables control the build 'ring' relatively to the planet surface on the nearPlacement, and relatively to the planet's hyperspaceExitRadius on the farPlacement: nearPlacementDistOffset 0 farPlacementDistOffset 9000 placementRadiusOffset

Is there a version where the AI will trigger even if only one target has hull damage? Or anyway to change what the AI considers to be 'Many Targets' and 'Hull Damage'?

The actual planetary growth rate is 0.125 population/second (the population will cap after 12 minutes). With an approximate value of 3 credits per mineral/crystal, the upgrade will have a ROI of 17m40s (and 11m40s thereafter, which means you'll have doubled your initial investment after 29m20s). At 3.5 credits per mineral/crystal it's 18m55s (and 12m55s thereafter, 200% at 31m50s).

Wow, those are awesome. But doesn't that long range frigate looks more like a rail gun frigate than a missile frigate?

For reference, my mod was shooting missiles in bursts of 3 with a 1.0 delay. Although without the burst the missile seems to disappear after a while, it's still much longer than the missile life time, and simply having missile on burst 'breaking' the collector is a good hint the leak could be around here somewhere. Setting the all travel projectile lifetimes to 15 or 20s could fix the problem. [quote]how long is that in dog years?[/quote] 665,905 dog years

I was working on my Flak mod when I see some Phase Missiles flying in the distance after their target died... and they kept going... and going... and going... I'm talking over 2 minutes here... I really can't see them anymore because they are so far from the well their effect is simply far too small to be rendered. I open the missile .particle files and I find: TXT ParticleSimulation HasInfiniteLifeTime [b]TRUE[/b] TotalLifeTime 10.000000 .

Memes? THE HORROR! Ships phase jumping in stop motion! Cannons shooting pretend attacks! Our collective minds cannot handle such damage! X-( P.S.: Nice hull designs.

The strikecrafts are the ordinance; if the carriers are killed they will go down. That the strikecrafts themselves can be killed is only an extra weakness. The extra range (carrier cruiser's only advantage) is not worth

The AI doesn't cheat on the diplomacy front. I have no problem allying with 2 out of 3 AI in a 4 FFA. Even if those two allies are actively at war with each other. If on the other end two AIs made a non-aggression pact with each other, yes, they are most likely both going to attack you because they simply can't attack eachother anymore and have to pick another target: YOU. FFAs are all about diplomacy, if you start a game with unlocked teams and don't aggressively work on AI mis

[quote]WOW I can`t believe this. SERIOUSLY Stop hijacking my work please?[/quote] I'm sorry BailKnight, I thought you allowed other modders to use your mod in their mods if they gave proper credits. I'll remove your particle effects from the next version if you want to.

3. Cielo changes The Cielo Command Cruiser's "Embolden" ability will be changed to a passive AOE weapon cooldown buff. Will switch both abilities so that "Designate Target" is the innate ability and "Embolden" will be the researched ability. "Designate Target" will gain the added ability of crippling target's engine (capital ships will be immune). 4. Subverter changes "Defeat Shields" will be changed to an active aura.

That will only work if the LRM spamming player is stupid enough to attack the scouts, while scouts are only useful at killing LRMs. If you have an equal amount of resources invested into scouts, the LRM players will just ignore the scouts and kill cap ships, light frigates & buildings, then switch to building everything but LRMs making your army of scouts just as useful as those dead LRMs. If you don't invest into a lot of scouts, the LRM will easily kill the rest of the defense then wit

[quote]And look at it this way, those flaks don't have a hard counter except heavy cruisers. Light frigs sort of counter them, but flaks have soooo much hp/shields that they still tank well against them.[/quote] Light Frigates are alot better against Flaks than Flaks are against LRMs. And the problem with LRMs isn't that they can't be killed. The problem with LRMs is that while LRMs are very good against everything but planets, the counters to LRMs are both not very effective (t

[quote]Illums can be good, in close range, the LRM missles spin around your ship a few times before finally getting hit, while illums can get close and the three guns (front and one on each side) will definetly hit. So bring your illums in close range to the LRMs. try something like that, make your illums fly over the LRMs and the back again, they will spend all there time turning around while your side guns take them out.[/quote] Illuminators only deal 75% damage to other LRMs, they are les
