Hey,

been rooting through your odfs, just rummaging about and I found a couple of lines that caught my eye, they look very interesting to me. What do

Code: Select all

extraweaponhardpoints = "root"
maxextraweapons = 10

do?

I assume they're related.

Looks very, very interesting.

The extra weapons are the upgrades, and veteran abilities. This just shows that abilities can be gained.

nope, the extraweapons are not used in fleet operations at the moment, its also used in armada2 from the technology assimilator special weapon (its the number of assimilated weapons a vessel may acquire)

At the moment? Does that mean there are plans for it?

The veteran abilities are added using a replaceweapon when the ships reach a certain XP level (as I think your interested in odf modding it's good to know)

Ahh yes I remember now. What mainly through me off now was extraweaponhardpoints isn't used in A2 is it? I don't remember ever seeing it. Should probbably have picked up the BBOM instead of getting all excited and posting on here.

ah, yep the hardpoint is new in FO, for a future feature we are working on. it should be quite self-explanatory. the hardpoint the vessel uses for extra weapons

moved to modding

Oh Optec and his secrets 

If I had to take a guess... I might say it has something to do with the Borg again....

hmm I would say it was to do with the borg only that the code can be found in (I think) all ships possibly more than that.

I'm guessing some sort of refit system.

seems as though, it would be most useful in mixed tech/capture of ships.

I used to like using the technology assimilator. It definately made you feel 'Borg'-like while you were using the enemies' technology against him.

So did I, never seemed to wok though so I just built the station so ships get them tech assimilation beam.
