Sad enough you hadn't hacked the code so you could use nuclear missiles. And why is there still the artificial 15 weapon limit with your titans.? Seems your skill isn't good enough to hack code, just fiddling with data files. Please improve.

I don´t actually play ToS online. Not that interested about the game anymore. (I lost my interest around version 1.21, when the jump system was changed) So you won´t meet me in online battles.

As for the nuke, we already managed to make something similar. A recon Titan with 15 Tesla Bolts and a "custom" engine. Raise the temperature over 300C, and the engine explodes, doing about 450 points damage to 2 hexes, 600 to 1 hex and 850 to same hex. What isn´t destroyd in the blast damage, detonates itself, because the temperature of the titan hits 300.

And the 15 weapons max is still there since I´m just as lazy as you are(I´d have to rewrite the whole titan saving in order to allow more weapons, if I´m not wrong)
I manage well with the current setting, so why change them?

In defense of larkin ( as if he needs it) but after working with him on TOS for a few years I can safely say that he is not lazy. At least not when it comes to programming TOS.

I'm in battle, with a lock on a titan that is outside my scanner range. I had attempted a scan, and it came back with red results. Scanner results refer to it as "GRUMSH ON MEDIUM TITAN".

Now when I go to the attack popup screen so I can fire at it, the first line says "LOCKED: GRUMSH/Gravedigger". This appears to be more info than I should be getting.

In a game where a couple of seconds mean the difference between life and death, these "extra" scanner results have proved invaluable quite a few times.

Granted, that's a loophole, but it only works if your weapon range is longer than your scanner range. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
