I dont think I ever had problems in the stock editor... its been a long time, but I think as long as you didnt increase too much (into negatives or just breaking it) the game took the changes just fine and you could make for example a borg tactical fusion cube on steroids capable of singly taking on the world unless they killed its crew off...
Im trying to do kind of a last stand type map with a fleet of ships that are powerful enough to tank damage and destroy for my own amusement.
The special energy seems to work ok as long as I dont overkill it, and it goes negative. I find that 99999 works out pretty well, any more and it causes issues. Except, I had a decent class with that energy setting, used it over and over again in my base, then when it got into battle and started getting shot, i used it a couple times, like 2 or 3 times, and suddenly the special energy went away.
Im kinda clueless. Im gonna run some more tests on the energy system increase, but I'm lost when it comes to the shields and health. Especially since it all works just fine on ships that are not on my team.
Like I mentioned in my last post, I had an avalon, jacked up the shields. It was set to team 0/0 I crewed it, shot it, and it sat there tanking a starbase... I then took that same avalon, changed it to team 8/8 crewed it, giving me control, and the shields were default when i crewed it.
Ive also done a similar test with a promy. I took 3, one had 80000 shields, another had 8000 and the final 800. when crewed and turned to my team, they all had the same shields.
Keep in mind I am changing both the Max Shields, and the Shields to the exact same settings. 800/800 or whatever it may be...
Anybody know anything
