Thanks for the help. I did that and made it into a .dat, but in the game it won't stay enabled for some reason. I'll try making it again and messing around with it some more.

<t> Actually, there's 3 novels where the starships are detailed better than in the game. The Halcyon class like most Human warships has a single magnetic acceleration cannon or MAC (mac, yes they throw in a lot of references to the game developer's past), and I think it also has 6 Archer or Arrow ...

How do you use the modfile.exe to turn the mod into a .dat? I've been looking around in the manual and on the official website but I can't find anything.

<t> That's totally awesome. Makes me wish I had the motivation to learn how to use the Magic thing. I played around with it enough to make a simplistic retarded kid version of an x-wing, then I got bored, lol. Of course if I was going to get into modding, I'd have to go with making a Battlefleet ...

<t> I played more and the fighters were behaving themselves better except after awhile they all stack up behind the carrier and don't want to keep landing for some reason (my best guess is that the jerks who fly off and get damaged or run out of gas but look healthy say they're returning to base but ...

<t> I keep my velocity at zero and keep the helm on so I can keep an eye on the pitch to keep her level, it likes to move a couple degrees up or down seemingly on its own (could have something to do with me clicking and zooming all around in the F3 view mode, i did notice that sometimes i click ...

It's a different issue. Docking AI get messed up in 4.0.1, its better than it ever was in 4.0.2, though, which should be release _soon_?

The single player campaign generator only produces generic missions like 'assault' or 'patrol' for the carrier group, not target specific like is the case when you command a fighter or a starship. Is this how its supposed to be?<br ...

<t> I'm experiencing the same problems. I finally get to keep all the fighters I launch after the mission but I can't finish the missions.... argh<br/>

It's not really a big deal since you don't fall very fast and can always just hit the afterburner for a sec, but it seems like it starts to stall when you get below a speed of 250.

<t> I've just got into using the carriers a lot on my second time through the campaigns, and I've noticed that every fighter that gets launched during the course of my missions even though most are recovered before i end the mission appear to be lost completely. At first I thought it was some sort ...

The Zolon ships aren't indestructible, they're just really, really tough. Nevertheless, you will not be able to save the consular ship. It's a plot point like the loss of the Titan in campaign three.

<t> Since you have the demo you should try it out and see how flying stuff without a joystick works for you. Once you progress to the big ships like destroyers a joystick is less useful than it is for the fighters.<br/>

That's true but what really limits a spacecraft's acceleration/speed is the speed at which the mass exits the engine. If I recall ...

While in game does being in command of the entire wing let you change the orders for other packages from your wing?

<t> Does anybody know splash damage range of a carrier? I go into the docking bay of the carriers and just blast them til it's at 00 health. Then try and afterburner straight out, hit M to keep my inertia going and then spin around to finish it with a couple shots. If it's more than 12 km or ...

<t> I've only played the demo version but some of the more superficial systems (i.e. everything besides reactor and engines) seem to be pretty vulnerable. What I noticed most was the loss of ability to shoot missiles. I'd usually use up my medium range ones but I tend to hold on to the shorter range ...

<t> Actually I've noticed some capital ships have vulnerable locations. Mainly the unshielded flight decks on carriers, and even more so with the Broadsword class destroyers, they seem to have a weak spot just aft of their ventral fin thingy where you can target the fusion reactor and mess it up ...

<t> I did notice that some of them moved around a bit, but I was still able to find them pretty consistently. One of my destroyers jumped randomly into Jalah and happened upon the Carrier group and so I sent stormhawks out to get one of his destroyers, then got distracted with fending off fighters ...

<t> Anybody know where the enemy carrier is in the highlands campaign? In Jallah theres an enemy station and the Wolf destroyer group, in Meridian theres the Kendra destroyer group near the observatory, in Trellis past the minefield theres the Kitts destryer group. I don't know if these are the ...
