Sorry...WAD?

<t> Appreciate the quick, if unhappy, news. I was afraid I might have missed something in the manual. This seems like a possible update for the devs since this is a reasonable tactic that either side can use without unbalancing the game. It also seems rather realistic in the human sense...i.e. the e...

<t> Can someone please direct me to the thread for this, since I'm sure it's been asked before and I simply can't find it?<br/> <br/> How can I direct engineers at a base to ignore damage to base facilities and focus only on building fortifications? I'm looking at the Allied side during Japan's init...

Are you downloading the straight .def file, or a .dat file? Each is different. It is also probably easier if you are running the game with the -filesys extension. Are you?

The easier solution is simply to turn the auto-repair feature on, in the fighter class ships. it requires deffing stock ships to do it, but is otherwise not difficult and means more fighters come home, as opposed to tracking down corpses in useless machines.

There is a chase view and a bridge view...what are you referring towhen you say tactical view?

V/R

<t> Stonedzen,<br/> <br/> There are currently no stock capital ship bridges. Not even all the fighters have cockpits. Any created bridges will be custom work.<br/> <br/> It is entirely possible to see the surface of your ship if you place the bridge somewhere back from the front edge. All that is re...

Masterchief,

You'd probably be better off asking this question over on StarshatterMods.com. It seems to have sucked most of the life out of this forum.

On the guns question, no. They have a specific energy consumption rate per firing and a specific capacity. This comes into play only if you design a particularly weak power plant on a custom ship.

<t> Most folks start off modding ships. Seems the visually creative like this part best. The grind is deffing (building the files to make your ship work like you want.) Alot of people will stop there. Mission and campaign modding is pretty high-level work (especially for a dynamic campaign) and few ...

<t> By and large, the capital ships do not roll independent from a heading change (like the fighters do). I believe there is a way to do this, but you have to disable helm control (the normal flight method) to do this. Will have to check on that. Also, the bigger the cap ship, the slower the roll wi...

<t> There are a couple of solutions for that pesky anti-ship missile problem.<br/> <br/> 1. Don't lead from the front. Sounds cowardly, but the closest target always gets the lion's share of missiles and promptly goes boom.<br/> <br/> 2. It is possible to mod the stock ships so that they have flares...

<t> To the best of my knowledge, the 5.0.2 patch has not been officially released. A such, I would not install it. Going to 5.0.1 over a clean install should resolve these errors...however, it might not be a bad idea to check your drivers for updates and check DirectX as well. Others have encountere...

To be expected. Same thing happened when Mario was running his site as well.

<t> How to add the weapons is buried in the weapons portion of the MOD SDK. The best way to figure out deffing (as creating *.def files is called here) is to practice on a test ship (called a cube, or some other basic shape) and see how it works in-game. Once you have that ironed out, you can go bac...

<t> Rigor,<br/> <br/> Use the anti-ship Harpoon missiles. The problem is that no one stock fighter will kill a cap ship on its own. You're doing well to get a carrier from 51 to 45 percent with your missile load alone. It takes repeated strike packages or one massive alpha strike from another carrie...

<t> Your joystick is fine.<br/> <br/> Welcome to Newton's playground! The throttle setting you see is not a speed setting. As Matti said, drop your thrust to zero to maintain a constant speed. Unlike atmosphere, there is no drag to counteract thrust, so as long as your engine is producing Newton's t...

<t> My recommendation would be to start off reading the MOD SDK on the Starshatter website. While certainly not a complete bible, it will get you started down the right road.<br/> <br/> First off, There are now 2 stock turrets available for small craft. One is for the LCA, the other is the back-end ...

I take it that it is no longer available on the Starshatter website??

Which mission elements are you trying to name?
