Late to the party, but the poll is just barely passing as a mere clue towards a general direction for how well those changes have been received.
From a developers point of view it's understandable.
However from a business point of view, the move from freeform design to hardpoints was a poor choice ...

<t> The top tier fighters are mathematically 18% better than the bombers. However, bombers perform better because they have higher damage that has less chance to get completely absorbed by armor. Regrettably, the way armor mechanics work in this game is causing weapons below a certain base damage ...

Multiplayer or not, I just hope it has less hard coding and allowing use to mod much more, or even better make the whole thing varied, balanced, challenging and customizable in the first place.

Thank you.
Kind of makes me wish that DW had the same kind of balance and ship mechanics eve online has.

Ice, I noticed in a recent game that the AI puts short range weapons, like beams, on space stations. The bases can then get out ranged by enemy missiles / fighters.

It's quite late, but I can give you an exact ...

Good job! It works now. Also looks great.

<t> Hello Sabranan, <br/>
<br/>
using version 2.3.5 the tool I get an empty box when trying to display the race research orders.<br/>
I remember I had a similar problem with one of the older versions and at some point I got it to display the existing order - though I don't remember what I did ...

Yes, of course, but to what extent? Is it +x% of the original value? What is the original value? Or is it maybe +x% flat? Not to mention it isn't even ...

<t> How exactly does weapon accuracy work in this game? <br/>
<br/>
Did some modding and testing and I just can't figure it out, basically just leaving me with a ton of questions...<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
1. Is a hit or miss already determined before the shot hits or is it an actual collision? Shots ...

<t> That was fast. <br/>
You are right I should have thought about including those files earlier. If I ever manage to create another faulty file I will post it here. <br/>
<br/>
Though apparently, when the game "crashes" with the windows message that the program has stopped working, it apparently ...

<t> After using the tool to edit research.txt I either get the game stopping to work when starting a new game or the game not starting at all. <br/>
<br/>
The Error is kind of reproducible. It doesn't happen when I only modify 1 or 2 entries, making me think it works. Then when I go ahead and ...

I see.
The warnings are quite helpful, allowed me to correct a bunch of typos and other stuff already.

I get a warning about multiple wonder IDs in the various race policy files. Is it true the game only uses one wonder ID?

<t> Thank you for your fast answer.<br/>
Too bad that can't be changed. I thought about adding a secondary torpedo weapon component type, just to realize that that is not possible either. <br/>
<br/>
Anyway, the information about higher damage weapon seems quite useful. <br/>
<br/>
What about ...

<t> Is it possible to dictate which exact weapon the AI will include in its designs? <br/>
<br/>
For example when they have researched both shockwave (shorter range) and velocity shard (longer range) torpedos, I would like for them to use the velocity shard on their stations to avoid being ...

Nice, it can even edit research orders. Those took forever before since you had to look up hundreds of numbers. Great work!

Great, thank you!
Now I got all the information needed from just the first post.

<t> I see. Never thought about legality, but when you put it that way it makes sense. <br/>
<br/>
I am just a hobby modder for my private enjoyment so I never really bothered to learn the whole picture about coding and simply figure out the tools needed to modify one specific product. So I guess ...

<t> Hello and thank you for your work.<br/>
<br/>
It seems you have made quite a few changes and additions over time. Could you attach a list of all the functionalities of the mod tool in the first post? <br/>
As in, which files / categories it can edit and to what extent. That would make it much ...

How do you look at the source code? <br/>
More importantly, have you found out how to change things and recompile everything back to a working state? <br/>
Would be extremely useful to be able to add ...
