<t> There is an easier way to do it.<br/>
<br/>
Buy the game (actually preorder the beta) and play it. (Yes, really, it doesn't work else) Then go to the Stars in Shadow\ArtCache\Ships directory and all the images are there, already cropped, in different resolutions, even in different colors ...

<t> I tried that as part of my "getting rid of Caslon" experimentations. I dropped it again, but I can't really remember why. Another person tried it too and there were some serious issues in lategame, he said. Look for a thread with fuel or uranium or something like that in the title.<br/>

It is also on Sale on Steam!

(I know most of you do not like Steam, but its still on Sale there...)

I faced a similar decision like you when deciding the angle for space stations. In static images, 45° looks best, but I don't know how it looks when ships try to dock there. You might want to try that out before committing yourself.

<t> I made the Eve Component Mod. It should still be downloadable from the link in my sig. (Will check. Edit: yes its still there)<br/>
You may include it or parts if you like. A mention in the fine print would be nice.<br/>
Also looking forward to a completed Eve Online Mod.<br/>

<t> It is in moments like this that I realize that the human being behind a forum alias can actually fall sick and even die. I am so accustomed to the never deterring nature of digital avatars that I implicity somehow believe the humans behind them to be immortal. It always sweeps me off my feet if ...

<t> Before attempting to try solid fuel sources like Uranium, there have been some attempts on that topic (one of them by me) that indicate that the game engine has difficulties handling non-gas fuels. I think it was mensrea in his Wh40k conversion mod who encountered similar problems. You might ...

<t> You CAN create two ship designs of the same ship class, but the game will always use the most recent if it automatically chooses which design to builds or to retrofits to. You will have to explicity order the other design or retrofit to the other design if you want variety. In the ship order ...

I would rather wish you fun then wish you luck.

I just personally find this system to be too micromanagement intensive to be worth it.

I agree. I use 2 of these ships early in the game when I do not have minig bases for every resource I need. Usually I run out of ...

Three way battles have been reported to be problematic (look for existing threads in the forum) I haven't encountered them myself, but I remember reading about the problem.

You can use any military ship type. I usually use destroyers, as I only use state controlled mining ships early in the game and I do not have destroyers then. Put mining engines (gas or normal ...

<t> There is one reason to have 2 small ships instead of one big ship: One ship cannot be in two locations at the same time, two ships can.<br/>

I am a big fan of large, slow indestructible weapon-bristling battleships, but I do have my share of small, fast ships. Just to be able to be in ...

In the components.txt file.

See the documentation line
' - Fighter Bay: Value1=fighter storage capacity, Value2=fighter repair rate (in percentage points per second, manufacture rate is half repair rate), Value3-7 unused

Yes, there is more than that. There is like "hell breaks loose"-more than that...

<r> I can only recommend using a cvs (whatever brand, I personally use tortoise, too) if you are working on a project that has evolving versions. On my projects, I work alone and still use it, since it is sometimes very good to be able to retrace some steps you realized were done in a wrong ...

Cannot read ComponentId...

Since I bet the id is there it can only mean that it can't be read into the data structure. I would reaklly like to know the data type of the member holding the id. I bet its an 8 bit data type.

I would be careful with expression like "best game ever" but I absolutely do agree it is a very good game that gave me lots of fun playing and modding it.

Plus it is very well thought out and implemented, from my limited possibilities to look into its code from the outside.
